Manchester United are doing their best to improve on their difficult start to the season and did so on Saturday with a commanding 3-0 win over Southampton to take their Premier League points tally to six from four games.
This weekend, they will take on Crystal Palace at 5:30pm on Saturday live on Sky Sports, and It’s All Kicking Off! co-hosts Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton have been discussing the Red Devils being picked for TV once again.
Erik ten Hag’s side have been shown on live TV every week so far this season, with Ladyman pointing to the size of the club and the audience they draw for the reason why.
It led to a conversation around how football fans are treated like ‘mugs’ by the schedule makers, with United fans travelling to the game unlikely to be able to get home on Saturday night.

The co-hosts opened up on how fans can make a difference, but admitted that they don’t see anything changing any time soon to benefit match-going supporters.
United will hope, meanwhile, to add another three points to their tally against a Palace team who are yet to win this season.
