Episode description

Rio is joined by Ste and Joel to discuss the latest defeat for Manchester United to analyse what isn’t working for manager Ruben Amorim. Rio suggests that the Portuguese manager should be more pragmatic in his approach to build the player’s confidence after a run of 8 defeats in his first 19 matches.

The trio also discuss Marcus Rashford’s loan move to Aston Villa including the £40m fee believed to be part of the deal along with the reputation and reaction to Rashford’s form and choices made in his personal life.

There’s praise for Myles Lewis-Skelly’s ‘Haaland’ celebration in the 5-1 victory over Manchester City and a look at why Pep Guardiola’s side are performing so differently compared to last season. Plus there’s a debate about whether signing a number 9 like Ollie Watkins would help or hinder Arteta’s squad and the way they play.
