Manchester United Weekly Podcast

In Part Two of the Manchester United Weekly Podcast’s season preview, hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait first reflect on a magical Wembley night for England’s Lionesses. United’s Ella Toone scored a stunning goal in 2-1 European Championship final victory over Germany. Alessia Russo and Mary Earps also made key contributions. We review a double game weekend as United took on Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano in Oslo and Manchester respectively. We’ll talk about the performances of new signings Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen, an exciting display from Alejandro Garnacho. We’ll talk about Cristiano Ronaldo, about Erik ten Hag’s use of the full-backs, about how the defensive structure has altered so far. And we’ll talk about United’s first game of the season, against Brighton, at Old Trafford, Sunday 7 August at 2pm UK time. In our bonus Patreon Q&A - included in the normal show this week as a taster - we discuss Frenkie de Jong's potential transfer in more detail and consider a fascinating question on

It’s time for the Manchester United Weekly Podcast’s season review of 2021/22. In part two, we look ahead to the era of Erik.

We look at how our loanees fared away from United and what the year was like for our Academy. And we’ll answer some questions from the Patreons who have supported the show all throughout the season, for which we are very grateful. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

It’s time for the Manchester United Weekly Podcast’s season review of 2021/22. In this two-parter, we’ll first be looking back at the campaign just gone, our favourite moments - and there were some - goals and players. We’ll consider, with a bit of hindsight, where it went wrong for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and then where it went wrong for his interim successor Ralf Rangnick. We’ll compare the 21/22 defence to that of the season before, and the same for the attack, considering how the team’s style changed under Ole and then Ralf, and we’ll talk about a flurry of departures. Note: We ran out of time to really dive into how much we love Juan Mata. What a great man. He will be missed in Manchester and at Manchester United. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 01:00 Favourite moments of the season (yes, there are some) 07:00 This season v the Moyes era (a miserable question to ask) 10:20 Worst moments of the season 14:10 Goal of the Season 16:10 Player of the Season 18:25 Where did it go wrong for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer? 26:40 Wher

Harry Robinson takes you through a full FA Youth Cup final preview, from the history of the competition, United's 10 past victories, the make-up of this squad, what the players like behind the scenes, the staff working with this group and plenty more. He also answers questions from Patrons on the Academy and loans. Regular co-host Jack Tait is away this week and no one wanted to talk about Saturday's game (or presumably listen too) so we're skipping over that... for now. We'll come back to more depressing first team matters soon, but for now, here's to supporting the young Reds! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Scott McTominay apologised to Manchester United's travelling support at the Emirates. And too right. United were rubbish again and lost. The second half performance was one of the better showings of recent weeks, but that's more down to how bad the team has been in other games. United lost 3-1 and look set for the Europa Conference League. Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait reflect on all that, the debut of a referee's microphone in the WSL and give a youth, loan and women's round-up with news of a Monaco trip for the U23s, four clean sheets in a row for one young 'keeper and further Champions League disappointment for Marc Skinner's team.

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait reflect on an embarrassment for Manchester United at Anfield. First, Harry talks about the game from a sunny Liverpool and Anfield. If you want to skip straight to the normal analysis, head to 09:00 (10:00 with ads). After talking Anfield, they answer the following Patreon questions: Reed Blazer With the number of players that look set to leave this summer, it seems like we may need to rely on some academy players playing a role in the first team. Which players do you think have the best chance of breaking into the first team next season? The two that I would like to see are Hannibal and Laird, possibly Garner as well. Korey Lennox Don’t really want to speak about the match if I’m honest. Reports are coming in of a “revolution” this summer. Could be 6 to TEN new players coming in. How realistic do you think this is and anyone, in particular, you’d like it to be? Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your a

United are seventh. It's not good, but there is a general feeling of apathy over anger. What a damning inditement of the way the club is run. Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait discuss that particular theme but also speak about Fred, Rangnick's pointed post-match comments and preview Saturday's match against Everton. They also discuss the World Cup draw, a win for United Women against Brighton and the sad news that former manager Louis van Gaal is suffering from prostate cancer.

Ralf Rangnick referenced Jekyll and Hyde in his post-match press conference after Manchester United beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0. The win puts United into fourth in the Premier League despite repeated slip-ups, most recently against Burnley and then Southampton. There are clearly positive signs, but also some concerns. Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait go through them all, talking about the games against Brighton and Southampton, Sancho, Ronaldo, work rate, Varane's underrated influence and plenty more. There's a youth, loan and women's round-up and a preview of Sunday's game away at Leeds. Patrons hear thoughts on the future of United's striking department and a bit on VAR/timewasting.

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait are heartened by the chance creation of this Manchester United side under Ralf Rangnick but frustrated by an FA Cup defeat on penalties to Middlesbrough and a draw away to Premier League bottom-feeders Burnley. The Reds should have won both games comfortably, but couldn't finish chances and suffered a couple of tight refereeing decisions. They talk about Jadon Sancho's exciting wing performances and plenty more. Enjoy the show! Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
