Who'll win the Premier League? Who will be Manchester United's most improved player? Who will become the fans' scapegoat? Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait give their predictions for these questions, and many, many more in the latest episode of the Manchester United Weekly Podcast. The two Reds preview Monday night's Old Trafford encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers, discussing the impact of a new manager for the Midlands club. They consider who should start up front and on the left-wing, and what they're expecting to see from the game. Then they talk the likely exit of former-captain Harry Maguire, who looks set to join West Ham for £30m, assessing his potential replacements in Jean-Claude Todibo and Benjamin Pavard. After giving all their season predictions, Harry announces the title of his first book: The Men Who Made Manchester United. Released on 25 September with Pitch Publishing, it brings you the definitive history of Manchester United before Sir Matt Busby's post-war halcyon days. Inside are tales

Happy end of the Premier League season. Manchester United climb above Newcastle in the campaign’s final week to finish third after entertaining but unpolished victories over Chelsea and then Fulham.

Harry Robinson talks live from Old Trafford with Stretford End season ticket holder Nathan Thomas, who has spent the last few years working for the Manchester United Foundation. The two Reds review United’s performance at half-time and full-time, revelling in an unpolished but highly enjoyable victory that secures Erik ten Hag’s side qualification for the UEFA Champions League. Nathan also discusses which United players have stood out for their Foundation work, including one Brazilian midfielder’s recent attempts at a distinctly non-Brazilian sport! www.Instagram.com/manchesterunitedfoundation  Learn more about your ad choices.

Manchester United need only one point to secure UEFA Champions League qualification via a Premier League top-four finish after results elsewhere went in their favour and a piece of Brazilian brilliance from Casemiro enabled victory away at AFC Bournemouth. In the Women's Super League, United Women scored in injury time to keep the title race alive and achieve a first league victory over rivals Manchester City. There's plenty to talk about. In our bonus Q&A available exclusively for Patreons, we try to name as many of Sir Alex Ferguson's final matchday squad a decade on, discuss Weghorst and Sabitzer's future, strikers, and how United can possibly overcome this City juggernaut in the FA Cup final.

On a glorious sunny Saturday afternoon at Old Trafford and in a rare 3pm kick-off, Manchester United delivered with 18-year-old Alejandro Garnacho sealing a deserved victory in a must-win game as the Reds close in on that top four spot in the Premier League and Champions League qualification. Three games remain, away at Bournemouth and at home to West London duo Fulham and Chelsea. Two more victories will secure it. If they are as comfortable as Saturday, that’ll do. Wolves hadn’t a single shot on target while United had nine, and should have scored more. Erik ten Hag aptly reviewed: “Again we make the goalie of the opposition the man of the match.” Down at Wembley on Sunday, things were not so rosy. A world record crowd watched Manchester United Women’s first FA Cup final but the Reds couldn’t convert a dominant, expectation-shattering first-half display into an advantage and instead it was relentless winners Chelsea who were clinical and won it 1-0 with Sam Kerr scoring in a third consecutive FA Cup final.

Champions League qualification is edging closer. A disheartening draw at Tottenham Hotspur threatened to derail matters slightly but a well-deserved victory at home to high-flying Aston Villa restores Manchester United’s grip on a spot in the Premier League’s top four, captain Bruno Fernandes scoring the decisive goal. United Women took on Villa, too, in a brilliant weekend for the club all round, Millie Turner scoring a 93rd-minute winner to maintain United’s title hopes and keep them three points clear at the top of the Women’s Super League. The U21s played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Spurs while the U18s’ frenetic late season fixture schedule continued with a thrilling 4-3 win away at Sunderland including another goal for the exciting young prospect Shea Lacey. All of that is reviewed on the latest Manchester United Weekly Podcast with hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait. Enjoy the show! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Bald is best! Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait revel in penalty shoot-out victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Wembley that has earned Manchester United a spot in 3 June's FA Cup final. It felt for a long time like a game set to be decided by a moment of genius or a mistake, and that was the case. United’s penalties were infallible. Brighton... well, they eventually missed. It’s been quite the week. The most disheartening of performances and defeats in Seville sent us out of the Europa League, and then this. Also in today's episode, news of defeats for the U21s, back-to-back wins for the U18s and a huge update in the WSL title race. Plus plenty of noise from a euphoric Wembley.

On a Premier League weekend with more banana skins than Mario Kart, injury-struck Manchester United avoided theirs away at Nottingham Forest. Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen — a late addition to the starting line-up — purred in midfield. Antony's tenacity and confidence have earned them the plaudits, as well as a good goal and a fine assist. Now Erik Ten Hag’s side travel to Sevilla requiring victory to reach the Europa League semi-finals. They’ll return to England straight after and prepare for an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley against perhaps the in-form team of English football: Brighton. Round one of the United v. Brighton FA Cup semi-final has gone to the red corner. Manchester United Women made history on Saturday evening. It was difficult but in a classic cup tie, Marc Skinner’s side prevailed thanks to a clinical Rachel Williams finish, a 3-2 victory taking them to their first-ever major final where they’ll face Chelsea in mid-May.

Club football returned, but Manchester United seemed to miss the memo. A poor performance at St. James’ Park is rewarded with defeat. Erik Ten Hag’s substitutions came under fire, and so did most of the team’s players. Newcastle leapfrog the one and only United into third. Much work to be done. On the Manchester United Weekly Podcast this week, Harry Robinson and Jack Tait review Sunday’s Premier League defeat, play guess the player, preview Wednesday’s home match against Brentford and give you extensive updates on our loanees, the Academy sides and United Women, who had another good weekend.

On the Manchester United Weekly Podcast this week, hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait get happily waylaid discussing contrasting fan cultures in the women's game, at United, Borrusia Dortmund, FC Koln and in the USA.

It’s far from the perfect bounce back, but Manchester United have not crumbled after that harrowing Anfield defeat. A confident dismantling of Real Betis in the UEFA Europa League was the key, and the Reds really should have scored six or seven. When Southampton came to town, there can be few complaints that the team failed to score. United simply didn’t create enough. A disappointing 0-0 draw against a poor side, and a quite forgettable match, but one that does tell us plenty about this team, and that’s what your hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait analyse on the Manchester United Weekly Podcast this week. The two Reds consider United’s faults and talk about Casemiro’s red card and a couple of other controversial decisions. They take a moment to remember Ian Stirling, a giant of Manchester United’s support who sadly died at the weekend. Then there's a review of the win over Real Betis in brief, a preview the second leg in Seville, your regular Academy, loan and United Women updates, and a new round of Guess t

A painfully historic defeat. Liverpool 7-0 Manchester United. There are bad days at the office, and there is your joint-heaviest ever defeat. What a uniquely terrible match and moment in this season. Nevertheless, on the Manchester United Weekly Podcast, we get it all off our chests and move on as United look at setting ourselves up for Europa League progression having already won the League Cup and reached the FA Cup quarter-finals. We know it was bad, but we’ll be considering exactly what happened because don’t get it wrong, this wasn’t like the 4-0 at Brentford or even the 6-3 at City, and it certainly wasn’t like last season’s harrowing defeats to Liverpool home and away. And that’s why it feels different. So what is different about it? And why do we get the sense that this wasn’t just bad, but utterly, utterly bizarre? That’s what we’ll be trying to answer. And then we’ll give you your regular, extensive updates on the Academy, players out on loan and United Women, who had a highly contrasting weekend wi
