March 10, 2024 17:22 - 46 minutesHarry Robinson hosts from Old Trafford, discussing the future of Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium with fans of United and opponents Everton, who are soon to leave their historic Goodison Park home for a new ground at Bramley Moore Dock. Do fans support a move? How much of a role does Old Trafford as a stadium play in the identity of United, and the same with Goodison and Everton? What is the minimum capacity of a new ground that could convince fans to leave Old Trafford behind? Those...
United Through Time: James W. Gibson
March 06, 2024 11:47 - 7 minutesHi everyone, Harry Robinson here.

If you so, here's a link to listen in full on podfollow: https://pod.fo/e/22434c After the main episode, there'll a...
S9 E36: Derby defeat, new UCL format (City, 1-3)
March 04, 2024 19:00 - 51 minutesIt started so well, but it ended in familiar fashion. Another derby defeat. We expected little else, but this was a performance that showed signs of promise, only for Manchester United to be unable to hold on and City to finish 3-1 victors. On the latest episode of the Manchester United Weekly Podcast, hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait review and analyse Sunday’s Etihad defeat and Wednesday’s crucial FA Cup triumph over Nottingham Forest, play Guess the Player, give you the Academy Briefing,...
S9 E35: Playing with fire (Fulham, 1-2)
February 26, 2024 16:22 - 54 minutesWell, positive goal difference was nice while it lasted! Manchester United back to nought in goal difference and perhaps back to zero chance of finishing in the Premier League’s top four after a late 2-1 defeat at home to Fulham, an ever-so-rare victory for the Cottagers at Old Trafford. It comes in a week of great excitement for the club as Sir Jim Ratcliffe, INEOS and Trawlers Limited were confirmed as co-owners of the club, bringing with them ambition, vision and relieving frankness. On th...
S9 E34: Ten Hag's Bazball? (Luton Town, 2-1)
February 19, 2024 19:29 - 46 minutesFive consecutive wins for Manchester United and Erik ten Hag, whose desired identity for the Reds is becoming clearer by the game, whether you like it or not. Basketball-esque football. End-to-end. Forget possession and control. Does it work? Well, it is at the moment. But is it convincing, is it sustainable, is it the right thing to do? That’s what hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait are discussing. They also talk the currently unstoppable Rasmus Hojlund, impressive Kobbie Mainoo and much mor...

S9 E33: Momentum builds (Aston Villa, 2-1)
February 12, 2024 22:00 - 56 minutesManchester United have won four games in a row! Scott McTominay wins another game for Erik ten Hag’s side, who remain five points behind Aston Villa and six behind Spurs but have found some momentum. Rasmus Hojlund’s unstoppable scoring march continues to help United achieve a rare away victory at a top-eight side, a first since 2021. With that damning statistic in mind, the key question to ask today - beyond how satisfying was that - is whether this 2-1 victory at Villa Park is a sign of som...
Bonus: Where does Mount fit in, do Ten Hag's plans reduce this team's strengths?
February 08, 2024 10:56 - 11 minutesAnswering these questions from one of our Patrons, hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait essentially ponder over whether Erik ten Hag's ideal plans for this Manchester United team make it greater than the sum of its parts or reduce its strengths: Where does Mount fit in once he’s fit? Can a Bruno, Mount and Mainoo midfielder work? What do we do with Casemiro? If you'd like to hear more conversations like this every week and for twice as long, sign up to become a Patron and support the show h...

S9 E32: Youth drives success (West Ham, 3-0)
February 05, 2024 18:29 - 1 hourHosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait review Manchester United's 3-0 home win over West Ham, asking and answering questions like: Does this performance show wider growth or were United just more clinical? How good can Rasmus Hojlund be? How has Alejandro Garnacho developed this season? What is the next thing for him to improve? How big a blow is losing Lisandro Martinez again? And much more! We also reflect on the enduring legacy of the Munich Air Disaster on United and its fanbase, play Gu...
S9 E31: The man who saved Manchester United
February 02, 2024 16:54 - 42 minutesHarry Robinson is joined by Matt Johnson, great-grandson of the man who saved Manchester United, Harry Stafford. The pair start off by talking about Thursday night's extraordinary win over Wolves and Kobbie Mainoo's memorable 97th-minute winner and then reflect on the man who made it possible, a Newton Heath captain from over a century ago. There's chat about the early history of United, about Newton Heath, about a community of descendants of legendary figures, about collectors’ items, a tale...
S9 E30: FA Cup progress (Newport, 4-2)
January 29, 2024 19:01 - 55 minutesWith audio and reaction direct from a classic FA Cup tie at Newport County's Rodney Parade, including an interview with an Exiles fan and the unique sounds of tie like this, we review an unconvincing but nevertheless successful win on the road. Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait debate what this says about Ten Hag's management as United fielded their strongest team of the season but floundered at times again. Plus, what more can Hojlund do? Can United have a mid-season resurgence as in a simi...
S9 E29: New CEO, Academy insight and Newport preview
January 22, 2024 21:00 - 1 hourQuestions answered in today's episode: What does the appointment of new CEO Omar Berrada mean for Manchester United? What does it show about the balance of power between Ratcliffe and the Glazers? What does FA Youth Cup defeat say about Manchester United's U18s? What's it like to go behind the scenes at the Academy? And who are the key talents coming through right now? What will the challenge at Newport County be like for the Reds? Who were the last side United played for the first-ever time ...
S9 E28: The new year review (Ratcliffe, Spurs, transfers & more)
January 15, 2024 22:32 - 58 minutesManchester United are up and down and negatives and positives abound alike. Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait return for a first show of 2024 to discuss a busy Christmas and New Year period, reviewing the Reds' latest match, a 2-2 home draw against Tottenham Hotspur. We then discuss the nearly completed partial takeover of MUFC by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and list what our key priorities would be were we in his position (thanks Tony Ryan for the question!) As well as that, you'll get your regular, ...
S9 E27: Draw at Anfield (but UCL exit)
December 18, 2023 21:33 - 45 minutesHosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait, one at Old Trafford, the other in Chicago, review Manchester United's respectable 0-0 draw at Liverpool. Standards have dropped, without a doubt, but it's a good result given what was first feared. Some foundations to build on. Also reviewing the home defeat to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, they also discuss what McTominay's continued selection means for Ten Hag's future as United manager, whether these players have a consistent issue with inc...
S9 E26: Humbled at home (AFC Bournemouth, 0-3)
December 11, 2023 01:00 - 46 minutesHosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait review a humbling home defeat to a well-organised AFC Bournemouth side who deserved their victory and more. United have lost little ground in the race for the top four because of results elsewhere, but Saturday afternoon’s match was a really damning indictment on the team right now. Where do the Reds go from here? Who takes the majority of the blame? What lessons are there to be learned? Those questions and many more will be answered, or at least debated, on...
From Old Trafford: Chelsea (h, 2-1)
December 07, 2023 00:13 - 22 minutesHarry Robinson is joined by Nathan, Kieran and Francesca (briefly) at Manchester United's match against Chelsea, with sounds from Old Trafford and analysis pre-, mid- and post-match. It's a different type of episode. If you're here for pure match analysis, this one's not for you. But if you want an insight into matchday at MUFC and what it feels like to watch a game from the Stretford End, enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
S9 E24: Jaw-dropping, then absurd, then insipid
December 04, 2023 21:00 - 1 hourAfter last week's unintended break, hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait return to take a big-picture look at Manchester United by reviewing three away games at once: one win, one draw and one defeat. Avoiding the obvious narratives around the Newcastle defeat, they consider the problems and potential solutions for Erik ten Hag's spluttering Reds. Breaking up our big-picture discussion is Guess the Player, the Academy Briefing, some top MUFC trivia and a preview of Wednesday's game against Chel...

S9 E21: The league's most in-form team, somehow (Luton, 1-0; Copenhagen, 3-4)
November 12, 2023 18:35 - 47 minutesManchester United… the most in-form team in the Premier League... apparently! It doesn’t feel like it, but, somehow, that’s four league wins in five games for Erik ten Hag’s Reds. It was hardly convincing; United failing to convert some good chances again and going through another game without a forward scoring. Victor Lindelof was the unlikely match-winner in a one-goal home victory over Luton Town. Earlier in the week, we did see a forward score. And twice. Rasmus Hojlund continued to show ...
S9 E20: A lifeline (Fulham, 1-0)
November 05, 2023 19:00 - 45 minutesA lifeline! Bruno Fernandes steps up for Manchester and the pressure eases after a truly demoralising week. Derby defeat preceded a dismantling at the hands of Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup and Old Trafford hasn’t felt quite as glum as that for many moons. Cue a trip to Fulham, often a useful antidote. And cue another late winner at Craven Cottage. Thank you very much! Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait react to a rare win for Erik ten Hag's United. But will it kickstart the season? Wha...

All are welcome and it'd be great to see some of you there. Non-Manchester-based listeners, sorry for the slightly irrelevant short episode here. We'll be back to normal next week!

October 22, 2023 18:39 - 38 minutesRIP Sir Bobby Charlton.

S9 E16: Patreon mailbag - October international break
October 14, 2023 22:10 - 1 hourIn this Patreon mailbag episode, hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait talk themes such as: The future of MUFC as the Qatari bid to buy the club withdraws Will the injury time win against Brentford kick start United's season? How would we sum up the last 10 years at Old Trafford? What is the club's greatest achievement and worst moment in the last decade? What one question would you ask our last six managers if you could sit in a room with them, with no NDAs and a truth serum? What we've m...
S9 E15: A season lighting spark, or cracks papered over? (Brentford, 2-1)
October 08, 2023 19:00 - 45 minutesWith spine-tingling audio direct from Old Trafford at the moment of Scott McTominay's extraordinary winner, hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait review the best of buzzes. Two goals in injury time, both from McTominay. An unprecedented feat in United's Premier League history. United 2, Brentford 1. On the Manchester United Weekly Podcast, we go through that game, United Women's 2-2 draw with Arsenal, give you your regular Academy Briefing and loads more. Plus, Guess the Player and reaction to t...

S9 E13: No recipe for success (Palace, 0-1) - with Nathan Thomas
October 02, 2023 18:54 - 48 minutesA pinch of a hope, two handfuls of doom. That’s no recipe for success. On the Manchester United Weekly Podcast, regular host Harry Robinson is joined, sitting in the shadow of Old Trafford at Hotel Football, by fellow Stretford Ender Nathan Thomas. In today's show, reaction to a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace from the pair, and to United Women's winning return to the WSL.

S9 E12: The sounds of MUFC (Palace, 3-0)
September 27, 2023 00:09 - 21 minutesThis is the sounds of MUFC with Harry Robinson on the Manchester United Weekly Podcast. It's Tuesday 26 September and United host Crystal Palace in the League Cup. With opinions and analysis interspersed throughout, this episode is more about the noise of matchday at Old Trafford, to take you into a place you've dreamed of going, or to remind of you of past visits. Something slightly different. I hope you enjoy it. (If you don't, feel free to skip it and we'll be back to our normal format ver...
S9 E11: Bayern, Burnley and sheep
September 25, 2023 18:00 - 27 minutesHarry Robinson reviews Munich (a), the Allianz Arena, a shepherd's hut, Manchesterplatz and games against Bayern and Burnley. Plus updates from the UEFA Youth League, U18 Premier League and U21s fixtures, an EFL Trophy preview, a look ahead to a double against Crystal Palace (EFL Cup and Premier League) and an update on The Men Who Made Manchester United. Regular co-host Jack Tait is away for a couple of weeks. No Patreon Q&A this week as a result, apologies. Feel free to get questions in for...
S9 E10: Painful growing process, or just bad? (Brighton, 1-3)
September 18, 2023 00:00 - 50 minutesSix points from a possible 15 (despite the slip of the tongue in the intro!) to start Manchester United’s season. 10 goals conceded in four games. These are two of the many stats that sum up the dire start to the 2023/24 campaign for Erik ten Hag’s team and once again we are left asking, is this a fair reflection of the team? And where the answer in previous games might have been no, perhaps this time, the answer is yes. Brighton & Hove Albion rode out the early dominance of United and then r...
S9 E9: Patreon mailbag, part two
September 11, 2023 19:00 - 1 hourOne of the most enjoyable episodes we've had the pleasure to record.

S9 E7: Gut-wrenching defeat (Arsenal, 1-3)
September 04, 2023 20:00 - 50 minutesIt has become an all-too-familiar feeling walking out of the away end at the Emirates and across the bridge past those big Arsenal letters thinking ‘what could have been?’ ‘how close was that?’ and, really, more than anything, ‘for fuck sake’. For a second successive year, an Argentine celebrated with intensity and passion as United appeared en route to a famous victory. Last year, Lisandro Martinez’s brilliant header was made futile by a 90th-minute winner checked by VAR. This year, Alejandr...
S9 E6: Arsenal Preview (and Forest, 3-2)
August 30, 2023 21:20 - 44 minutes*Patrons get 25 minutes extra* Manchester United’s start to this season is confounding. Erik ten Hag’s Reds appear constantly on the edge of breakdown, and always close to defeat, too, and yet six points from the opening nine is a respectable beginning to any campaign. Old Trafford stood in shock as United conceded twice in four minutes against Nottingham Forest, but there remained a sense of confidence and defiance, and justified it proved for a 3-2 comeback victory followed. Further injurie...
S9 E5: Early concerns, Greenwood (Spurs, 0-2)
August 21, 2023 21:00 - 50 minutesOne cloud has cleared. Mason Greenwood will not play for Manchester United again. Several more remain.

S9 E4: Rusty Reds (Wolves, 1-0)
August 15, 2023 17:00 - 44 minutesThat was a rusty start to Manchester United’s Premier League season! And a lucky one, too. On this edition of the Manchester United Weekly Podcast, hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait review Ten Hag’s season-opening tactics, the open midfield, the underwhelming wingers, an impactful Sancho substitution, Andre Onana’s competitive debut, and loads more. We’ll play Guess the Player. We’ll give you your regular, extensive Academy round-up. We’ll preview Saturday’s match at Tottenham Hotspur and ou...
S9 E3: Season Preview
August 09, 2023 16:15 - 46 minutesWho'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.

S8 E57: United finish third
May 29, 2023 16:37 - 22 minutesHappy 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.

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 midfiel...
S8 E55: Victory at Bournemouth, United Women's title race
May 22, 2023 17:36 - 33 minutesManchester 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, ...
S8 E54: Wolves (2-0, h) + Women's FA Cup Final
May 14, 2023 19:00 - 46 minutesOn 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 sh...
S8 E53: Aston Villa (1-0, h)
May 01, 2023 18:31 - 43 minutesChampions 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.
