It has been a bonkers 24 hours for Manchester United fans. First a stark interview with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who shockingly revealed the club could have potentially gone bust had he not taken drastic cost-cutting measures. The billionaire also admitted keeping Erik ten Hag and bringing in Dan Ashworth were expensive mistakes, but not as expensive as the £2bn outlay a brand new replacement stadium for Old Trafford will cost after plans were unveiled for a 100,000 seater ground this morning. Joel returns to FSD via his Mexican hideout to share a United fans' view on a crazy day's news...

Liverpool earned a narrow victory in Europe last night as Harvey Elliot's late goal proved enough to see off PSG in the French capital, but it was the Reds goalkeeper who earned the plaudits. Alisson denied just about everyone in blue at the Parc Des Princes, giving Arne Slot's side something to defend in the second leg.Elsewhere, attention turns to Manchester United and Spurs in the Europa League tonight, with Real Sociedad awaiting the Red Devils, keen to extend their recent misery.

Mikel Arteta's Gunners finally found some form in front of goal as they put seven past PSV in the Champions League last night, leaving them firm favourites to go through to the quarter final stage. The last eight also looks likely for Aston Villa, who battled to a 3-1 win over Club Brugge in Belgium last night, thanks to super-sub Marco Asensio and an unbelievable goal line clearance from Tyrone Mings. Elsewhere, Liverpool take on PSG in the Champions League tonight looking to make it three from three for the Premier League sides. In domestic news, there are calls for Millwall's goalkeeper to be given an extended ban for his incident with Jean-Philippe Mateta, after their clash at the weekend resulted in the Frenchman needing 25 stitches to save his ear. But should the shot stopper be banned for longer with it being such a serious injury? Niall and Marley discuss all this and more on the latest Football Social Daily.

The last eight of the FA Cup has been decided after a dramatic weekend of fixtures which saw Man United and Ipswich eliminated on penalties and Newcastle knocked out thanks in part to Anthony Gordon's moment of madness. This week's Get in the Sea nominations mention the Newcastle man's actions as well as managers' tendencies to rotate their best goalkeeper. Niall and Marley also ask is it time the English clubs flexed their muscles on the European stage as Aston Villa and Arsenal resume their continental challenge tonight with visits to Belgium and the Netherlands.

Manchester City's Champions League hopes came to an end as a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick did the damage at the Bernabeu. The Frenchman took advantage of another lacklustre performance from the Premier League champions, as Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland remained unused substitutes. Meanwhile in the Premier League, Liverpool were held to a point at Villa Park in a superb game under the lights. Mo Salah was unplayable again, but the headlines have been stolen by Darwin Nunez, who missed an open goal with his first touch since coming on. His work rate was also questioned by manager Arne Slot, who seems to be growing frustrated with the Uruguayan striker. Niall and Marley discuss all this (and mango smoothies) on the latest episode of Football Social Daily.
