Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros react to breaking news as Manchester United sack Ruben Amorim just 14 months into his tenure. Is the club’s managerial role now untenable, and what structural changes are needed at United? The guys are then joined by NWSL and USWNT legend Ali Krieger to discuss the league’s salary cap issues and her work with the Dragonfly Collective. Later, they break down Wilfried Nancy’s shock exit from Celtic after only 33 days in charge.
