Has Amorim CHANGED his system? Wilcox outlines United's "clear plan"
Scott entertains the debate on this episode of TPL on whether Ruben Amorim has - amid all the pressure - changed his system to get United winning games, with some tactical tweaks apparent over recent matches.
There's a look ahead to Manchester United's Nottingham Forest game this weekend, and there's some reaction to a new interview from United sporting director Jason Wilcox, who has been speaking to club media about the future transfer plans and United's latest results.

Bruno's €65m release clause & reacting to his big interview
Discussed on this episode of the podcast is Bruno Fernandes' quotes from a recent interview with a journalist pack, where he revealed all about the process behind him rejecting a move to Saudi Arabia last summer, the conversations with United about staying or going, how he came about staying put and lots more.
Also, there's reaction to the news that there is a €65m release clause in his contract which can be triggered by foreign clubs. Scott looks at the possibility of Bruno leaving in 2026, the potential destinations for him, and the conditions that would have to be met (both bad ones and good ones) for the United captain to stay put or seek a new challenge.

From finished to fundamental: Casemiro's revival & a discussion on his contract
Scott Saunders returns to give flowers to Casemiro - a hugely criticised and at one point "finished" expensive flop to go down with the rest of Manchester United's recent transfer market mistakes. The Brazilian - after being told by Jamie Carragher to "leave the football before the football leaves you" has now thrust his way back into the United team and is becoming undroppable.
Scott discusses why Casemiro is having perhaps one last hurrah, what he's done to win his place back and why the midfield works with him in it. Also discussed is the upcoming end of his contract in 2026 - and whether he leaves as expected or if there's a way to extend the deal into next season...and what would need to be the conditions for that to happen.

The tides are turning: Man Utd have a huge opportunity to surprise everyone
Scott returns after the Premier League weekend and off the back of three Manchester United wins in a row to discuss the feeling around the club after the recent turnaround and to reflect on what's actually possible for United to achieve in the Premier League this season...
Considering some were fearful United could get relegated under Ruben Amorim last season and now they're within touching distance of the Champions League, Scott looks at all the surrounding factors in the hunt for the top four/five and if it's possible for United to raise their targets.. or if the initial season targets are still the right ones.
Given the struggles of Liverpool and Chelsea and United's ability to prepare for matches without Europe, is the Champions League possible?

About The Promised Land | A Manchester United Podcast
The Promised Land is a Manchester United podcast brought to you by football journalist, editor and presenter Scott Saunders talking all the latest on the biggest club in England. Taking an approach of "never too high, never too low", a phrase coined by TPL's former co-host, the late Rob Blanchette, the show aims to bring an element of calmness and measured analysis on what we see on and off the pitch in relation to United. Scott has the unique insight of being a fan of the club for 30 years and working in the football media scene for over a decade, and will often endeavour to bring an alternative eye and critical thinking to what's being reported. There's no shouting or over the top reactions, but instead level-headed conversation on all the latest topics for every United fan to enjoy.
