Dale and Shaun discuss the latest stories surrounding Manchester United before speaking to editor of Football Espana, Alan Feehely, to get the Spanish perspective on all things Frenkie de Jong. That involves a lot of chat about Barcelona's financial situation.

148: How Lisandro Martinez fits in at United
July 18, 2022 22:32 - 34 minutesThe Strettycast is a leading podcast for Manchester United fans brought to you by StrettyNews.com. Dale and Shaun are excited about the arrival of Lisandro Martinez. The Argentine has previously played as a defensive midfielder, but over the past two years became a vital part of Erik ten Hag's defence, playing alongside Jurrien Timber. Timber is seen as the next best thing to come out of the Amsterdam club, however, it is understood that he will be staying put for at least another year. We jo...
147: United hammer Melbourne Victory | Charlie Savage impresses | Christian Eriksen announced
July 15, 2022 21:07 - 16 minutesThe Strettycast is a leading podcast for Manchester United fans brought to you by StrettyNews.com. Manchester United gave Melbourne Victory a lesson at the AAMI Park stadium. It was to be expected. Scott McTominay, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford got on the scoresheet. To make matters worse for Melbourne Victory, who were playing their first game in pre-season, one of their players kicked the ball into his own net to make it 4-1 at the end. Dale shares some immediate thoughts on the game ...

145: Perfect start to pre-season with 4-0 win over Liverpool
July 12, 2022 21:33 - 18 minutesThe Strettycast is a leading podcast for Manchester United fans brought to you by StrettyNews.com. Dale runs through some talking points from Erik ten Hag's first game in charge. The Dutchman marked the occasion with a strong starting line-up, with Bruno Fernandes named as captain, while Harry Maguire sat out the game due to a minor injury. We also come away from Bangkok after beating the Scousers 4-0! A fantastic day at the office, but we are not naive enough to suggest the rest of Ten Hag'...

137: Patience key in win over West Ham | Rashford AGAIN | Rangnick finds tactical solution
January 24, 2022 16:53 - 39 minutesA chat about Manchester United with Dale O'Donnell and Shaun Connolly. The two lads share their thoughts on Manchester United's 1-0 win over West Ham in the Premier League for the latest episode of the Strettycast. Rashford took the headlines AGAIN, with his last-minute winner as United climbed into the top four, and regular listeners will understand how that makes us feel. Later on in this episode, Shaun raises a valid argument about United's future at right-back and why we should be keepin...
136: De Gea pros and cons | Delight for Rashford | Milestone away win
January 21, 2022 17:28 - 35 minutesOn the latest Strettycast, Dale and Shaun discuss the 3-1 win over little old Brentford. It was United's 300th away win in the Premier League and Thomas Frank had a chip on his shoulder at full-time. The Brentford manager weirdly name-checked Jadon Sancho, who wasn't in the squad, and claimed that his side destroyed United. We take a deeper look into David de Gea's performances this season - after another 'standout' display between the sticks. Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford got the goal he neede...
135: De-pressing at Villa Park, Martial gone AWOL
January 17, 2022 12:04 - 41 minutesDale is joined again by Shaun to review Manchester United's latest game - a disappointing 2-2 draw away to Aston Villa. United held a 2 goal lead thanks to a brace from Bruno Fernandes, but that was before Philippe Coutinho came off the bench to make an instant impact on his Villa debut. Too many individual mistakes allowed Villa back into a game that United should've won - from the position they held at 2-0 - but we bottled it. Anthony Martial didn't bother showing up - and we discuss the ci...
134: We need to talk about Marcus Rashford
January 12, 2022 12:20 - 35 minutes"What is wrong with Marcus Rashford?" That was probably the most frequently asked question as fans left Old Trafford on Monday night, after Manchester United knocked Aston Villa out of the FA Cup. The England international is not playing well and his body language is completely off at the moment, but sadly that has brought a surge of ill-advised opinions on the United star. Dale and Shaun discuss recent claims made by former Manchester United assistant manager Steve McClaren - and both believ...
133: Crisis at Manchester United
January 06, 2022 11:49 - 22 minutesManchester United are reportedly in crisis mode and Ed Woodward is getting the blame. On this week's podcast, Dale speaks about the job at hand for Ralf Rangnick, which has been made more difficult by unhappy players in the dressing room - not to mention the incompetent board he will work with for the following 2 years. United lost 1-0 against Wolves on Monday and crisis reports followed shortly after. Dale also makes a list of the players that should be sold/moved on this month or in the sum...
132: Ralf Rangnick announcement imminent & Spanish coppers
November 27, 2021 11:49 - 24 minutesSome apprehension over Ralf Rangnick's imminent appointment as well as lots of excitement. Dale is joined by Brain, back from his travels to Villarreal midweek and about to set off again for Chelsea away on Sunday, to discuss our new manager for the remainder of the season. There are uncertain times ahead with the German set to move upstairs at the end of the season, then signing a 2-year contract as a consultant on football matters. Includes a review from Villarreal, heavy-handed Spanish cop...
131: From the Archives - Eric The King | Chat with Pete Boyle
November 15, 2021 18:20 - 35 minutesWe are joined by prominent voice of the fans, the fantastic Pete Boyle to talk about Eric Cantona. Excellent anecdotes included. Considered by many to be the most important signing in the history of Manchester United, Cantona is the definition of a man who came, saw and conquered all before him. His legacy at United is littered with an array of talking points that extend beyond his footballing ability. Graced with an elegance that the footballing world has seldom seen, the Frenchman captivate...
130: Situation gets worse for Solskjaer
November 08, 2021 20:10 - 28 minutesOn this episode of the Strettycast, Dale looks at the Manchester derby and where Manchester United go from here. The manager's position will be the talk of the international break but, as of now, the Glazers are showing no indication that they are ready to pull the plug. Thanks to our listeners for this week's round of questions. I hope you enjoy the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

129: Atalanta away - Missed flight, ultras & police escorts
November 04, 2021 20:54 - 22 minutesDale O'Donnell chats with Brian Murphy about his long trip to Atalanta. Well, it probably felt longer for him than anyone else traveling out of Dublin Airport on Tuesday morning to see the Reds play in Europe. This is a bonus episode from our review of the 2-2 draw away at Atalanta. Massive kudos to Brian for joining us this week. Enjoy Villarreal and don't miss that flight! Hosted on Acast.

128: You can't paper over cracks, with Daniel Nardiello
November 03, 2021 15:37 - 32 minutesAll the talk after Tuesday night's 2-2 draw was about how Cristiano Ronaldo was papering over the cracks at Manchester United. Daniel Nardiello strongly disagrees - but that is not to say all is well at Old Trafford, as Dale O'Donnell explains on the show. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is on the brink heading into the Manchester derby, but recent results against Tottenham and Atalanta will give him a little boost before facing the current champions. Man City go into the game without a centre-forward b...
127: From The Archives - Wayne Rooney - Manchester United's all-time record goalscorer
October 21, 2021 10:40 - 52 minutesFrom The Archives - with Shaun and James from StrettyNews.com. Wayne Rooney is Manchester United's all-time leading scorer and the only player to have scored 250 goals for the Reds. He hung up his boots at the age of 35 and currently manages Derby County, so the lads take a look back to his time at Old Trafford after bursting onto the scene at Everton. We decided to focus on Rooney because he will undoubtedly go down in history as one of United's - and, indeed, English football's - greatest-e...
126: Raphael Varane out for a few weeks
October 13, 2021 10:44 - 20 minutesOn the Strettycast this week, we discuss how the international break went for Manchester United after losing Raphael Varane to a groin injury for a few weeks. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has some big games coming up and neither Dale or Nards are confident about Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly forming a pairing at the back. Leicester City will be out to sniff blood but so will Atalanta, Liverpool, Tottenham and Man City in upcoming fixtures. Hopefully the players got the rest they needed during the b...
125: More questions after United's 2-1 win over Villarreal
September 30, 2021 20:39 - 32 minutesDale O'Donnell is joined by Shaun Connolly to look back on Manchester United's 2-1 win over Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League. The Reds didn't perform well and more questions are asked of the football we are seeing under Solskjaer, though the result on the night shouldn't be underestimated as Villarreal have long proved to be a tricky opponent. Diogo Dalot had a night to form but could more have been done, at least tactically, to support the under pressure Portuguese full-back? David de...
124: Pressure is on
September 29, 2021 09:53 - 24 minutesThis is the Strettycast, a podcast dedicated to Manchester United, hosted by Dale O'Donnell who is joined by former academy graduate Daniel Nardiello. Another downbeat episode after a poor result losing 1-0 at home to Aston Villa. One again, a team wearing Claret and Blue came to Old Trafford to pull off a smash-and-grab win. This time we dropped three points - not just a place in the Carabao Cup. The next visitors will be Villarreal and we all still have memories from that night in Gdansk. T...
123: From The Archives - Iconic Manchester United No 7s
September 26, 2021 13:15 - 36 minutesFrom George Best and Willie Morgan to David Beckham and Cristiano, Shaun Connolly begins his From The Archives series for the Strettycast by looking back at the iconic number 7s to play for Manchester United. Author and lifelong Red, Pete Molyneux, recalls watching Best and gives us a lesson on how the number 7 became iconic at Old Trafford - players who would entertain the crowds.

122: Carabao Cup exit
September 24, 2021 15:27 - 21 minutesManchester United have played West Ham twice since our last recording - winning 2-1 win in the Premier League and losing 1-0 in the Carabao Cup. This means Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side has managed 13 points from the first five league matches of the season, but they've also crashed out of the League Cup prematurely - and everyone knows the manager needs a trophy. Dale is joined by former academy graduate Daniel Nardiello to discuss the games and several performers. Cristiano Ronaldo made it 3 g...
121: Shock in Switzerland after Cristiano Ronaldo party
September 16, 2021 07:37 - 34 minutesThe atmosphere at Old Trafford was something else on Saturday for Cristiano Ronaldo’s homecoming, so Dale is joined by two guests to talk about the 4-1 win over Newcastle United and the drab 2-1 defeat away to Young Boys. Brian Murphy and Shaun Connolly give their thoughts immediately after the final whistle in Switzerland, and we’ll have a separate podcast later this week with Daniel Nardiello to get his usual insight as a former academy graduate at Manchester United. It went very wrong ...
120: Cristiano Ronaldo returns
September 02, 2021 17:11 - 34 minutesA balanced but insightful chat between Dale O'Donnell, Daniel Nardiello and Jonathan Shrager after the summer transfer window shut. In this episode we discussed Cristiano Ronaldo's return to the club and expectations for the coming season after securing 7 points from the opening three matches of the Premier League season. The glaring issues that existed a week ago remain despite the arrival of Ronaldo, so Dale asks the lads whether the business done over the summer is enough to see United com...
119: Better call Saul and leave VdB on hold?
August 25, 2021 14:57 - 34 minutesIn this episode Nards, Shaun and I discuss the 1-1 draw against Southampton at the weekend. Was it a reality check? Even without our new marquee signings signing, the glaring issues won't be addressed until Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gets the midfield he wants. We analyse the decision to shift Mason Greenwood out wide on the right to accommodate Anthony Martial, kneejerk reactions from social media, implications for Donny van de Beek if Saul Niguez joins before deadline day, Declan Rice's situation...
118: Mason Greenwood, future number 9
August 19, 2021 00:21 - 43 minutesIn this episode Dale, Shaun and Joe discuss the opening game of the new Premier League season after Manchester United beat Leeds 5-1. We chat about Mason Greenwood's future as United's number 9, optimism as we start the new campaign, Scott McTominay's evolution, needing a defensive midfielder, the right wing and whether the Reds can mount a title challenge. As well as some listener questions about Edinson Cavani, Victor Lindelof and new signing Raphael Varane. Get bonus content with the Stre...
117: "Dirty Leeds" - Chat with Daniel Nardiello
August 12, 2021 14:47 - 32 minutesThe first episode of the new season with former Manchester United academy graduate Daniel Nardiello. Nards took some time out to join Dale as they discussed a range of topics concerning the Red Devils ahead of the new season. Manchester United kick off the new Premier League campaign against "dirty Leeds" on Saturday. *Includes stories from the Manchester United dressing room* Hosted on Acast.

116: Does Solskjaer have the tools to compete for the Premier League?
August 03, 2021 15:56 - 19 minutesStretty News editor Dale O'Donnell discusses the expectations on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer next season. Manchester United have significantly boosted their squad with two additions this summer, including Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane, which has been enough to make us optimistic. That's healthy for a football fan - to feel this way before the season starts - but does Solskjaer have the tools when it truly matters? Subscribe to the Stretty Newsletter - the BEST way to support what we are doing at ...
HERE WE GO! Transfer special with Fabrizio Romano - Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane, Eduardo Camavinga
June 29, 2021 11:03 - 34 minutesDale is joined by Fabrizio Romano on the podcast! The Italian football journalist joins me for a run down on everything Manchester United in the transfer market. Manchester United are still in the process of completing a deal to sign Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund and reports suggest they will quickly turn their attention to signing a centre-back to bolster Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's defence. Paul Pogba's future remains up in the air but United's stance is clear. They want the Frenchman to ...
Episode 114 - Europa League disappointment is very VillarREAL
May 29, 2021 11:33 - 31 minutesDale O'Donnell reflects on Europa League heartache. Yes, we'll get over it. It's a second-rate competition at the end of the day but it's worrying to see Manchester United fall at another hurdle. How many more until Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wins a trophy? That final produced more questions than answers. In this episode, I talk about how only United two players can be proud of their performance in Gdansk and what is next for the manager. We've got a busy summer coming up and hopefully United are b...
Episode 113 - UEL Final: Possible gateway for more success and another departing keeper
May 25, 2021 19:22 - 21 minutesThe squad is in Gdnask for the Europa League final and I'm excited about our chances despite knowing Harry Maguire is a massive doubt for the game. These are occasions Edinson Cavani and Bruno Fernandes live for -- and they know they'll crave the next final from the second this one ends. It could be a gateway for more success, although that wasn't the case in 2017 and we get on to that in this week's episode. Also on the agenda is news from the bunker about who starts in goal on Wednesday nig...
Episode 112 - Glazers feeling the pressure
May 17, 2021 13:51 - 24 minutesThe theatre of crime. That is what Old Trafford has become under the Glazer family’s ownership. Gone are the days it can be known as the Theatre of Dreams unless you can convince me Marcus Rashford always wanted to beat Villarreal in a Europa League final. Jokes aside, quite a serious podcast for you this week. I haven’t pressed record in over two weeks due to being in hospital (again), so I returned this morning on my own to discuss the latest protests and how I believe the Glazers are feeli...
Episode 111 - Ed Woodward does runner after ESL collapse
April 22, 2021 13:00 - 57 minutesWow. It's been a whirlwind. Dale and Mike chat about the ongoing events this week on the Strettycast. The battle is ongoing but first we need to get through the wreckage. Ed Woodward has resigned in timely fashion and we can't help but think it has a lot to do with the European Super League failure. Some might say he went out on his sword. United fans have long known that these parasites were no good for the game, but now it sounds like English football has woken. We look to the models in Ge...
Episode 110 - Webby & O'Neill - Backing Solskjaer and update on Declan Rice
April 14, 2021 10:12 - 26 minutesWelcome to another Strettycast, the Manchester United podcast, with Webby & O’Neill joining me to talk about the latest stories as we look to finish the current season strongly. In this episode I chat to Webby & O’Neill about their terrific YouTube channel, set up with the aim of bringing enthusiasm back to United fans. Both of them are supportive of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, like myself, and feel he’s the best man for the job. Tony O’Neill tells the Strettycast that if Harry Kane leaves Tottenh...
Episode 109 - Solskjaer laughs off pathetic Mourinho
April 14, 2021 08:56 - 36 minutesWelcome to another Strettycast, the Manchester United podcast, with myself and Mike. In this episode we enjoy the 3-1 win over Tottenham, José Mourinho had a meltdown and the matchday photographers had a great time at the so-called Special One’s expense. Of course, Mourinho isn’t all that special. We learned that during his time in charge at Old Trafford. Sure, we enjoyed the Europa League and League Cup triumphs but with Mourinho it was more about him, rather than us. No unity and a lot of ...
Episode 108 - Success in Spain
April 10, 2021 08:42 - 49 minutesManchester United defeated Granada 2-0 in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie in Spain on Thursday to put themselves in pole position for a place in the last four. Marcus Rashford raced on to a long ball by Victor Lindelof to fire United in front. Bruno Fernandes converted a late penalty after he was caught off the ball by Yan Eteki, leaving him with a bruised eye, but the Portuguese midfielder's spot-kick went through the hands of Rui Silva. United manager Ole Gunnar Solsk...
Episode 107 - Granada preview with Heath Chesters
April 08, 2021 10:44 - 49 minutesWelcome to another Strettycast, the Manchester United podcast, with myself and Mike. In this episode, we are joined by Heath Chesters, a Mancunian who fell in love with Granada and worked for the club. We talk about Diego Martinez, the 40-year-old manager who is seen as the next big time coming out of Spain at the moment. Not forgetting familiar face Roberto Soldado after netting 10 goals for the La Liga outfit this season. You can subscribe to the Strettycast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify...
Episode 106 - FA Cup nightmare ahead of international break
March 22, 2021 18:40 - 56 minutesWelcome to another Strettycast, the Manchester United podcast, with myself and Mike. In this episode, we question Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team selection against Leicester City after United crashed out of the FA Cup. The goals were conceded were abysmal (Dean Henderson wasn’t at fault for any of them) and questions are also asked of our defense and midfield. There was no key influence on the pitch for United yesterday. The system failed against a tactically fluid Leicester side that were ...
Episode 105 - Pogba back with a bang
March 19, 2021 20:05 - 52 minutesStrettycast episode 105 - Dale and Mike react to an important win against AC Milan at the San Siro. This episode was record before the draw took place for the quarter-finals, so we'll discuss that on Monday morning. Paul Pogba took the headlines after coming on as a half-time substitute, only to score the match-winner minutes later. He was superb in the middle and gave United a new lease of life. Having him back fit will be a huge bonus and our fingers are firmly crossed with hope he avoids i...
Episode 104 - The David Moyes Derby
March 15, 2021 14:37 - 55 minutesI don't think anyone calls it the David Moyes derby but we do. Manchester United got over the line against West Ham who came to Old Trafford to defend. The visitors sat back and welcomed pressure. It didn't work and as soon as they conceded an own goal they began to attack the Reds in numbers. West Ham deserved to lose the game given how they approached it from the start. It was dull and exactly what you'd expect of 90 minutes of football with Moyes. It was arguably one of Harry Maguire's be...
