• Fortunate Fulham winner for Martinez as United strikers struggle

  There's a case to say Lisandro Martinez is providing Manchester United's most potent attacking threat at the moment as we dig into some alarming trends with respect to the centre forwards. Positive sounding news on stadium development this week but unease continues to rumble among the fans and there was a fairly hostile response to Sir Jim Ratcliffe's presence at Craven Cottage. But, with FCSB up next, a top eight finish in the Europa League first phase might bring some respite and everyone but the Window Warriors TM will be glad to see the transfer deadline pass next week.

• Bruno's dramatic Rangers winner; United on brink of Europa knockouts

  Captain Bruno rescued three Europa League points for Manchester United after Cyriel Dessers looked to have earned Rangers a draw at the death. But while a European top eight finish, bypassing the play-off round, now looks likely there is still a lot of uncertainty around the club with financial question marks muddying the transfer waters. Will the club reach a deal for Patrick Dorgu, can the price be right for Alejandro Garnacho, and might Marcus Rashford still have a future at Old Trafford? We'll find out next week, after a very tricky trip to West London, where the eye-watering ticket prices are only adding to fans' anxiety. Learn more about your ad choices.

• Denis Law remembered. More Brighton woe: worst United team ever?

  Strong themes running through today's show as we remember United great Denis Law, the only Scottish footballer ever to win the Ballon d'Or, after his death on Friday at 84. How this current team could do with a centre forward, a goalscorer, an all-round footballer of Denis's ability. After Brighton won at Old Trafford again, Ruben Amorim called his side the worst in United's history. A joke, perhaps, but we're not laughing. Ella Toone celebrated her recent return to action with a hat-trick in a momentous derby win, the women's first ever victory away at Manchester City. Next up for the men is a Europa League clash with a Rangers team who seem to save their best for this competition.

• Amad hat-trick spares United blushes against Southampton

  Ian Irving might have been glad of a day off, very glad indeed, were it not for Amad's late show at Old Trafford on Thursday night. He became Manchester United's second youngest hat-trickster after Wayne Rooney and their first since Cristiano Ronaldo. While the 22 year-old Ivorian has a long way to achieve the stature of those two players, he is well on his way to becoming a cult hero and is a shining light at a time when things are still not going to plan; the first 75 minutes of this game saw Southampton, yes Southampton, good value for a one-nil advantage. Brighton are next and, while they got their first win in nine Premier League games at Ipswich, they have a very good record against United in recent times. Meanwhile, on the transfer front, no news is both good news and bad news.

• United dump Arsenal out of the cup at the Emirates

  After a drab first half at the Emirates Stadium, the FA Cup third round tie between Arsenal and Manchester United caught fire; so much so, that it brought back memories of the fierce rivalry between the two clubs. Bruno gave United the lead with a superb finish, but Diogo Dalot was dismissed for a rash challenge which brought a second yellow card and things looked difficult with Arsenal equalising soon after. But, Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayandir saved an in-game penalty from Martin Odegaard, helped his defence stand firm, and then denied Kai Havertz in the penalty shootout before Joshua Zirkzee fired home to seal the win.
