S8 E26: Glazers, Ronaldo + United Women at Old Trafford

Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Manchester United and the Glazer family announce their willingness to sell the club. News doesn’t get much bigger. Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait react on today’s episode of the Manchester United Weekly Podcast.

Also on the show, we’re delighted to welcome United Women’s effervescent centre-back Millie Turner to the show, as she reacts to a brilliant 3-2 comeback win over Arsenal in front of a 40,000-strong crowd at the Emirates on Saturday. She also discusses her new partnership with Maya Le Tissier, the emotion around returning from a serious neck injury and what it will mean to take to the Old Trafford turf on 3 December against Aston Villa.

We also welcome Adam Millington onto the show, freelance journalist covering the Women’s Super League for BBC Sport, the i newspaper and many more. He helps us set the context for United Women’s campaign so far, explain how England boss Sarina Weigman has impacted the team, and predicts how a potential change in ownership could affect the women’s team at United.
