The Manchester United inquest - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Ben Haines is joined by the former Manchester United defender Danny Higginbotham, former Leyton Orient midfielder Jobi McAnuff and Luke Edwards from the Telegraph to react to Manchester United’s extraordinary 5-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League.

The team discuss Manchester United’s tactical approach to the match, how damaging the defeat is for Ole Gunnar Solskjær and if his time as Manchester United manager is running out.

Joe Smith from the Stretford Paddock Youtube channel joins the pod to give his reaction as a Manchester United fan and gives his thoughts on how Solskjær handled the tough questions being asked in his post-match interviews.

And after sweeping Manchester United aside, the panel debate whether Liverpool are now favourites in the Premier League title race.
