#926 | Ed and Dominic Booth unpack Manchester United’s dramatic late win at Anfield - a result that defied form, logic, and recent history. They reflect on the emotion of the moment, United’s defensive resilience, and standout performances from Harry Maguire and Mattheus Cunha.
The discussion moves through United’s tactical approach and the decisions that turned the game. There’s debate about squad depth, playing style, and how far United still are from the Premier League’s elite. The pair also take on media narratives, goalkeeper questions, and the women’s team’s Champions League success.

Reds Clash: Liverpool v United Preview
#925 Wayne’s been out and about - starting the show with a trip to Altrincham and a chance run-in with a few familiar United faces. From there, Ed and Wayne dive into the week’s big talking points: the looming trip to Anfield, United’s soft spots under pressure, and a flurry of takeover rumours set off by a single viral tweet.
The pair pick apart the ownership chatter, question some of the reporting standards around it, and reflect on what credible journalism looks like in the current media circus. There’s also a look at international duty form, travel fatigue, and United Women’s Champions League fixture. Wayne wraps up with news on his latest projects - including a new collaboration with Paul Parker.

Champions League Nights
#923 | In this midweek episode Ed and Wayne celebrate United Women’s first-ever Champions League win - a statement performance against Valarenge and a sign of how far Mark Skinner’s side has come this season.
The conversation then pivots to changes off the pitch, as United continue the behind-the-scenes rebuild. The hosts unpack the arrival of Ameesh Malek from Brentford and what his appointment says about INEOS’ intent to modernise operations.
Naturally, the rumour mill never sleeps. Ed and Wayne assess the latest whispers of a club takeover - and why it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. They also dig into Jim Ratcliffe’s recent Times interview, where he talked expectation management, academy economics, and what “sustainable success” might really mean at Old Trafford.
All that, plus a quick look ahead at United’s upcoming fixture against Liverpool.

The Tactics Show: Calm, Control, Hoof It
#923 | Ed and Dharnish take the mic to dissect United’s composed weekend win. The pair dig into what’s changed tactically - from the defensive shape to a noticeable shift in pressing and long ball strategy. There’s praise for Mason Mount’s role in midfield and for Bruno Fernandes’ disciplined positioning, plus a look at how debutant Senne Lemmens brought a rare sense of calm between the posts.
The conversation turns toward Anfield - what tweaks could Amorim make, who keeps their place, and how United might carry this new-found control into the biggest test yet.
