Man United are bottom of the Premier League for high-intensity distance, sprint distance and time spent sprinting… so is there a much bigger problem at the club than just results? 😳 The lads break down United’s worrying start, Michael Carrick, the lack of intensity and the huge pressure now being placed on young players like JJ Gabriel. They also debate whether we need to get rid of the term “wonderkid” altogether.
