The Promised Land | A Manchester United Podcast

Manchester United continued pre-season with an encouraging 2-1 victory over Atlético Madrid, and there was plenty to take away from the performance beyond the result.

This episode looks at the biggest positives from the game, including another impressive display from Andrey Santos, Bryan Mbeumo getting on the scoresheet, Mason Mount's growing importance if he can stay fit and Shea Lacey's emerging role in the squad.

There's also discussion on Leny Yoro's role at right-back, what the midfield balance is starting to look like, and why this performance offered some real reasons for optimism ahead of the new Premier League season.

Eddie Howe's exit and what it means for Lewis Hall's future

Why Hall remains Manchester United's standout left-back target

The latest on Aurélien Tchouaméni and why the midfield budget could dictate every other move

Whether Newcastle's project is beginning to unravel following a turbulent summer

Real Madrid are FINALLY moving for Rodri - but what does this mean for Manchester United?Could the deal for Aurelien Tchouameni have life in it yet? Or is his (as yet unsigned?) new contract confirming that the race is over?

How will he react to the signing of Rodri is a key question - and one that Scott Saunders explores in this episode of TPL.

Scott looks at the wages in the Frenchman's new deal and why they actually were over reported in the first place, and how that could suit United - but there's also a look at the other scenarios that could come out of this.

Will Madrid force out Camavinga? Will United pivot to Carlos Baleba? Are the cheaper reported targets like Tyler Adams likely to happen? Get in the comments!

Scott Saunders returns to outline that what Manchester United need to do in the remaining 5 weeks of the transfer window and digs into the reports from the last 24 hours around United's transfer business.

There's an extended talk about the future of Harry Amass, who could leave the club on a permanent deal, and look into the incredibly low potential fee they could receive in exchange - a measly £6m. Scott looks into why it's so low and what United simply have to do to make the deal worth it.

There's also a look at Chelsea's move for Danny Welbeck - who would really be a perfect fit for what Man Utd need from a back up striker at this moment in time.
