They said we were in crisis. They said without Maguire and Martínez, Cole Palmer would have a field day. They were wrong...

In this special 20-minute reaction episode of Devils in the Box, Joe breaks down a season-concluding 1-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Against all odds—and with a defensive line held together by sheer will and academy grit—Michael Carrick’s Reds have taken a massive step toward securing Champions League football.

We look at the match-winner from Matheus Cunha and that "Portuguese Magnifico" assist that puts Bruno Fernandes on 18 for the season. He is now just two away from the all-time Premier League record. Is the debate over? Is he officially the Player of the Season?

Plus, we have to talk about the kids. With Leny Yoro a late withdrawal, Ayden Heaven stepped into the spotlight for his first start under Carrick and didn't look back. We analyse how a makeshift backline—including Noussair Mazraoui at center-half—kept a clean sheet in one of the toughest grounds United have been to in recent years.

The 24-day break ended in a nightmare, and now it feels like the officials have picked a side.

In this weeks episode of Devils in the Box, host Joe sifts through the wreckage of a historic (and highly controversial) home defeat to Leeds United. We break down how Michael Carrick’s men lost their grip on Old Trafford and why the post-match headlines are dominated by whistles rather than goals.

Then, we dive into the "War on United." From Amad’s denied penalty against Bournemouth to the baffling three-match ban handed to Lisandro Martínez for a "hair tug," we analyse the four major refereeing decisions that have decimated our squad. Is Harry Maguire’s extended ban for swearing a step too far, and why did VAR ignore the forearm smash on Leny Yoro?

Finally, we look ahead to a massive Saturday night showdown at Stamford Bridge. With our captain and vice-captain suspended and the defence in tatters, how does Carrick patch up the XI to protect our 3rd-place standing against Chelsea?

Then, we look ahead to the highly anticipated return to Premier League action. Under the Monday night lights at Old Trafford, it's a historic rivalry renewed as we welcome Leeds United. We preview the clash and discuss why a win is absolutely crucial to keeping our grip on 3rd place.
