Manchester United Weekly Podcast

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait debate about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's future at Manchester United? Should Mauricio Pochettino replace the Norwegian or is he the right man? If he's not the right man, is he the problem?

The Reds evaluate a 2-1 loss against Astana and a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa. Then there's a look ahead to Wednesday night's clash against Mourinho's Spurs and Saturday evening's match against Manchester City.

As always, there's our extensive youth and women's round-up. Enjoy the show.

Contradictions, fickleness and mind-blowing stupidity sums up Manchester United fans on Twitter. So, hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait try and dissect the issues of our pre-season tour of the USA without showing any of that.

We talk performances against Real Madrid in a 2-1 win, Liverpool in a 4-1 loss and AC Milan and San Jose Earthquakes.

We’re talking Mourinho, Martial, Alexis, Andreas Pereira, and some pretty big debates as well, actually, mainly around Jose Mourinho and his Man United future.

Cheers for listening, enjoy the show (and leave us a review if you do)!

• The inspiration and planning behind United’s move to their iconic Old Trafford stadium
• The lives, characters and motivations of United’s first great manager, player and captain
• Why, how and when the club’s world-famous Academy was set up
• How the founding and survival of the Professional Footballers’ Association was defined by Manchester United’s ‘outcast’ stars
• How Matt Busby was set up for success by the determined, two-steps-at-a-time football fanatic Walter Crickmer, who almost single-handedly dragged United through a six-year global war.
• How trade unionism, industrialisation, the railways, public school masculinity, European nationalism and feminism frames the early story of English football and Manchester United.
• The untold early histories of rivalries with Manchester City, Liverpool and Leeds United.

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. When the tears dry a little, attention will turn to the WSL title race between the same two sides.

On the Manchester United Weekly Podcast this week, Harry Robinson and Jack Tait review the Women’s FA Cup Final (1-10 minutes), the men’s victory over Wolves (10-35 minutes), the end to the Academy season, some loanee highlights and loads more. Enjoy the show!

In the Patreon-only Q&A, we talk Harry Kane, Michael Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
