No Question About That - a Manchester United podcast

• Mailbag pod: Casemiro, United Women, Transfers, Ticket Prices

  #937 | Ed and Wayne Barton try to stay warm, awake, and vaguely optimistic. There’s chat about winter routines, sleepless nights, and how United fans could probably use a nap themselves after the latest couple of matches. Wayne talks about his new book Manchester United: After Munich - an emotional deep dive into the club’s recovery years, the players who carried the torch, and the scars that never quite healed. From there, it’s onto a far brighter story: Manchester United Women beating PSG in the Champions League, a result that feels like a genuine milestone. Then it’s time to talk about the men’s team - and some familiar issues. The lads discuss January transfer gossip, squad issues, and the board’s plans. The mailbag brings discussion about Casemiro’s value, the striker shortage, seat-license panic, and the notion of “Project 2028.” 00:00 Introduction 00:31 Winter Blues 01:46 Book Launch – Manchester United: After Munich 04:54 United Women Beat PSG 14:23 Atmosphere & Progress in the Women’s Game 20:01 Mailbag: Midfield Depth & Casemiro’s Role 33:58 Striker Situation & January Window 44:27 Defence and the Never-Ending Wingback Debate 50:40 Have United Actually Turned a Corner? 01:03:09 Project 2028 – Dream or Delusion 01:15:09 Transfer Predictions & Mainoo’s Next Step Learn more about your ad choices.

• The Tactics Show: Creativity Gap

  #937 | Ed and Dharnish dig into Manchester United’s approach at Spurs - why they're struggling to create away from home. They break down recent lineup choices, substitution patterns, and the contrast between United’s home control and away struggles. There’s plenty of focus on how Amorim’s setup and tactical caution is stifling its own progress. The discussion moves through shape, roles, and execution - from the chaos after Casemiro departed, defensive shape, and the ongoing left wing-back conundrum. Amid the questions, Ed and Dharnish find signs of incremental improvement. 00:00 Introduction 01:37 Lineup and Setup 07:06 Away Form and Second-Half Drop-Offs 10:43 Patterns Emerging: Home vs Away 14:14 Set Pieces and Small Wins 18:47 Progress and Pragmatism Under Amorim 20:41 Casemiro’s Role and Limitations 22:14 Dalot Going Forward (and Backward) 26:05 The Left Wing-Back Dilemma 28:04 Supporting the Younger Players 28:55 Sesko's Fitness and Squad Depth 31:01 Closing Thoughts If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

• On a Wing-Back and a Prayer

  #936 | Another 2–2. Another week of mixed feelings. In this episode Ed and Daniel pick apart Manchester United’s draw with Spurs - a game that summed up everything both encouraging and exasperating about Rúben Amorim’s side. The pair dig into team selection and the curious decision to field two fullbacks as wingbacks, a move that left United solid but sterile. There’s frustration at missed opportunities, defensive lapses, and another late switch that came just a little too late. Daniel vents about United’s risk-averse mentality; Ed wonders if the problem’s less system and more psyche. The conversation widens to possible January fixes, especially at wing-back which is proving to be an ongoing problem. 00:00 – Opening Thoughts and First Impressions04:00 – Spurs’ Flaws and Tactical Openings09:00 – Questionable Team Selection14:00 – Shape, Width, and the Fullback Problem19:00 – Amad Changes the Game25:00 – Breaking Down the First Goal32:00 – Defensive Chaos and Positioning Issues39:00 – Standouts and Strugglers45:26 – Closing Thoughts If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

• United Inc: The Finances Behind Ruben Amorim's First Year

  #935 | Jamie and Ed unpack Manchester United’s latest financial and managerial storylines, starting with the team’s current form before diving into the numbers behind Rúben Amorim’s first year at Old Trafford. They break down the true cost of hiring Amorim and sacking Erik ten Hag - a figure approaching £30 million - and explore how those decisions ripple through United’s league position, revenues, and PSR compliance. The discussion moves through squad rebuild strategy, wage bill analysis, and the financial upside of European competition, before touching on Jason Wilcox’s revealing new interview about structure, strategy, and the next phase of transfer planning. The show closes with a look at investment in the women’s team and the potential business logic behind January’s transfer window. 00:00 Introduction 02:07 Amorim’s Appointment and Transfer Spending 09:27 Squad Rebuild Strategy and Player Turnover 15:14 League Position, Revenue Impact, and European Qualification 24:27 PSR Compliance and Financial Health 36:25 Jason Wilcox Interview Highlights 45:16 Investment in Women’s Football 49:47 January Transfer Outlook and Final Thoughts If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

• Rooney vs Van Dijk!

  #934 | Ed and Dominic are back to pick through the debris — literal and metaphorical. From wild weather to the storm clouds still hovering over Manchester United, there’s plenty to talk about ahead of the trip to Spurs. The pair dig into United’s recent run under Rúben Amorim, what’s clicking, what’s not, and how the side might line up against Thomas Frank's Tottenham. There’s chat about Wayne Rooney’s latest foray into punditry (and his minor skirmish with Virgil van Dijk), as well as his future on the touchline. Ed and Dom also unpack Jason Wilcox’s Inside Carrington interview - a rare look inside United’s new football structure — before diving into transfer talk, academy prospects, and how January might reshape the squad. Expect thoughts on Rashford, Højlund, Šeško, and a few names who could be off to AFCON. A packed episode of tactics, transfers, and just a hint of chaos. 00:00 Introduction 01:55 Wayne Rooney’s Punditry 09:38 Jason Wilcox on Inside Carrington 19:55 Transfer Talk & Player Performances 25:03 Academy Prospects & Player Development 29:44 United’s Recent Performances 33:00 Tactical Setup for Spurs 34:04 Expectations & Challenges Ahead 48:19 Squad Dynamics & Transfer Thoughts 51:53 Closing Thoughts --- Twitter - https://x.com/nqatpod Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nqatpod/ BlueSky - https://bsky.app/profile/nqatpod.bsky.social Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/c/nqatpod #mufc #manchesterunited #premierleague If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing exclusive bonus episodes, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts Subscriptions.
