S6 E2: A flawed start

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait reflect on a 3-1 opening day loss to Crystal Palace in the Premier League for Manchester United. It was a pretty miserable day. No fans at Old Trafford, no new signings in the starting line-up (because there's only been one), a terrible performance from everyone on the pitch and a former player scoring twice. But there are some interesting points to talk about. So settle in, take a deep breath and enjoy the show. If you do enjoy the show, you can support us by checking out our Patreon.

S5 E41: The third best in the land

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait review the Premier League season. It's over! After 350 days of action, the most remarkable league campaign of our lifetimes comes to an end and Manchester United have finished third. That's pretty remarkable too since the Reds were on track for a mid-table finish in January. But plenty of factors turned things around and there's loads to talk about.

S5 E39: Winning streak ends in a stomach-emptying manner

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait mourn the end of Manchester United's winning streak. The Reds drew 2-2 with Southampton on Monday night and threw away the opportunity to climb to third in the Premier League table. The question of a top four finish remains one which United can decide themselves. It's in their hands. Win all their games and United will finish fourth at the least. But there's plenty to talk about in a packed episode where we dissect the draw with Southampton, answer a whole host of questions from listeners and preview another big week, a league game against Palace and then the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.

S5 E38: Greenwood is still dynamite

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait talk about Mason Greenwood. We all know he's great but what is it that he can improve on? What is it that we haven't seen from this boy wonder yet? Well, there's more to come even though he's been completely ridiculous already. So on the Manchester United Weekly Podcast this week we talk about Greenwood, his double for United in a 5-2 win against AFC Bournemouth. We talk about the front line, whether United should prioritise the signing of a right winger or a centre-back. We talk about Axel Tuanzebe, Harry Maguire and more. We talk about Nemanja Matic's contract extension. And more. Etc. There's a lot to talk about it. And most of it is positive! Enjoy the show, and if you do, leave us a review on iTunes to help us out!

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait hail Marcus Rashford with as many superlatives as they can find for his work during the coronavirus pandemic and his raising of awareness about the hunger struggles that millions of children face in England each week. But football is back as well, so we throw things back quickly to United's last league game against City to give ourselves a refresher (McTominay scored and Old Trafford erupted) before giving our thoughts on how the Premier League has returned, whether it's the right thing and what we've made of the Bundesliga's return. We also talk about the FA Cup and Europa League and preview United's first game in 3 months, against Spurs on Friday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

But Premier League football is back as well. So the two United fans talk about the extension of Odion Ighalo's loan move at Old Trafford, the players they think will start best for United and how to fit Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes into the same midfield.

It's April 24th and on this day in 2007, Manchester United came from behind to overcome Kaka's AC Milan in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final. In 'Much-Cited United', we look back at some of the most significant games in the club’s history.

Daniel talks to host Harry Robinson about that night at Old Trafford, the quality of Scholes and Rooney, why this United side was much better to watch than the 2008-Champions League winning outfit and why it didn't quite manage to win the treble.

S5 E32 - One year on from Ole's apology at Goodison

Exactly one year ago today, Manchester United were humiliated by Everton at Goodison Park. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer apologised to fans but it wasn't enough. This was one of the worst defeats for the club in Premier League history, at least. With a year having passed and the pandemic-enforced break giving us a chance to reflect, Harry Robinson and Jack Tait discuss how Manchester United have progressed since that miserable day in Liverpool (more miserable than the others at least...) We talk about the mentality of the squad, the transfers made and the players who have been sold. We also choose one goal each to recommend you, the listener, to go and watch on YouTube to fill the time or distract yourself in these strange times. That's near the back end of the episode.

Much-Cited United: Busby Babes in Madrid

In the second episode of 'Much-Cited United', Harry Robinson looks at a European Cup semi-final between the 'worldly' Real Madrid of the 1950s and the Busby Babes. It's April 11th and on this day in 1957, Sir Matt Busby took his young Manchester United side to play the European champions, Real Madrid. Los Blancos were too good for the Reds and won 3-1. Through the lens of that game, Harry chats to the brilliant Roy Cavanagh MBE, an author of numerous football books, interviewer of United greats and United fan from birth. Roy remembers the 1956/57 season and takes us through United's first ever European campaign. We talk Tommy Taylor, Duncan Edwards, Bobby Charlton, Billy Whelan and more. If you enjoy this show, we’d recommend buying and reading John Ludden’s brilliant book on United and Real Madrid’s relationship ‘A Tale of Two Cities’.

S5 E30 - Goalkeeping conundrums & a big win

E

A 1-1 draw with Everton followed a 5-0 thrashing of Club Brugge and both results leave plenty of questions to be asked by hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait. Should David de Gea leave to make way for young Dean Henderson, out on loan at Sheffield United? Or should United stay loyal to De Gea, the player with the 32nd most appearances in the club’s history? Just how good has Bruno Fernandes been? Has any recent United signing come close to his instant impact? Odion Ighalo’s first goal for United is revelled in and Scott McTominay’s return from injury is a boost. As well as all of that, we preview upcoming matches in the FA Cup and Premier League, against Derby County (A) and Manchester City (H).

But in this episode we’re looking back at the 2010s, a decade in which Manchester United have overwhelmingly disappointed and yet have won five major trophies and reached the finals of two European competitions. This is United we’re talking about. We go through the top goals, moments, games and signings of the decade as well as the worst five games and the signings we missed out on.
