WE'RE GETTING POPPED BY THE CHERRIES 🍒

Mark Goldbridge hopes the offside call will save Manchester United. It doesn't, and before long he's comparing their defensive vulnerability to Dracula arriving at a blood bank.

The United Stand's Short, "WE'RE GETTING POPPED BY THE CHERRIES 🍒", compresses the Bournemouth defeat into a succession of collapsing hopes. Leny Yoro slips before the second goal, Goldbridge springs out of his chair, and a third Bournemouth goal brings another comparison, this time to wet tissue paper. This is the watchalong host's reaction, rather than a package of match highlights.

The clip reached about 186,000 views in half a day, already well beyond the channel's usual first-day Shorts audience. Viewers keep returning to the blood-bank comparison and repeating the cherries line, making Goldbridge's language as much a subject as the defending.

His separate, longer postgame reaction also made an unusually fast start, passing 817,000 views in eight hours. There, the title puts his demand plainly: Michael Carrick and Jason Wilcox should go.

After the questions about United's defense against Como, which we reported here, Bournemouth supplies another sequence of errors for Goldbridge to dissect. He briefly acknowledges Yoro's potential after sitting back down, but makes clear that the costly slip isn't something he can overlook.
