Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait review the Premier League season. It's over! After 350 days of action, the most remarkable league campaign of our lifetimes comes to an end and Manchester United have finished third. That's pretty remarkable too since the Reds were on track for a mid-table finish in January. But plenty of factors turned things around and there's loads to talk about. If you enjoy the show, leave us a review on Apple Podcasts. It helps a lot. A few of you have done so recently. I forgot to give you a shoutout on the episode this week but thank you. I'll do it next week instead. I really do appreciate it.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait mourn the end of Manchester United's winning streak. The Reds drew 2-2 with Southampton on Monday night and threw away the opportunity to climb to third in the Premier League table. The question of a top four finish remains one which United can decide themselves. It's in their hands. Win all their games and United will finish fourth at the least. But there's plenty to talk about in a packed episode where we dissect the draw with Southampton, answer a whole host of questions from listeners and preview another big week, a league game against Palace and then the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait talk about Mason Greenwood. We all know he's great but what is it that he can improve on? What is it that we haven't seen from this boy wonder yet? Well, there's more to come even though he's been completely ridiculous already. So on the Manchester United Weekly Podcast this week we talk about Greenwood, his double for United in a 5-2 win against AFC Bournemouth. We talk about the front line, whether United should prioritise the signing of a right winger or a centre-back. We talk about Axel Tuanzebe, Harry Maguire and more. We talk about Nemanja Matic's contract extension. And more. Etc. There's a lot to talk about it. And most of it is positive! Enjoy the show, and if you do, leave us a review on iTunes to help us out!

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait hail Marcus Rashford with as many superlatives as they can find for his work during the coronavirus pandemic and his raising of awareness about the hunger struggles that millions of children face in England each week. But football is back as well, so we throw things back quickly to United's last league game against City to give ourselves a refresher (McTominay scored and Old Trafford erupted) before giving our thoughts on how the Premier League has returned, whether it's the right thing and what we've made of the Bundesliga's return. We also talk about the FA Cup and Europa League and preview United's first game in 3 months, against Spurs on Friday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's April 29th and on this day in 2008, Old Trafford rocked, 75,000 inside the stadium injected with the rare but wonderful drug of a Champions League semi-final night for the ages. Paul Scholes' hammered half-volley lifted the famous old ground off its foundations and Manchester United secured their place in the 2008 UEFA Champions League final, an all-English final, to be played in Moscow, Russia. This is Much-Cited United on the Manchester United Weekly Podcast with me Harry Robinson. Today I'm joined by Barney Chilton, editor of Red News, United's longest-running fanzine, and Guardian journalist and author, and United fan, Daniel Harris.

It's April 24th and on this day in 2007, Manchester United came from behind to overcome Kaka's AC Milan in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final. In 'Much-Cited United', we look back at some of the most significant games in the club’s history. By doing so, we find stories we weren’t expecting to, discuss players we thought we’d forgotten and, maybe, just maybe, put a smile on your face during these strange times. Our guest for this episode is Daniel Harris, writer for the Guardian and of many books. He was also the creative producer for BUSBY, a magnificent recent film on the great United boss. Daniel talks to host Harry Robinson about that night at Old Trafford, the quality of Scholes and Rooney, why this United side was much better to watch than the 2008-Champions League winning outfit and why it didn't quite manage to win the treble. This podcast was produced by Harry Robinson in partnership with United Through Time.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

8D AUDIO: This is something pretty new where the audio swings around your ears. Some people love it, others don’t. It has no real effect if you’re listening on a speaker or out of your phone. Only give it a go if you’re listening on a good pair of headphones. If they’re noise-cancelling - even better. One year ago today, Robin van Persie scored a half-hour hat-trick at Old Trafford and secured a 20th Premier League title for Manchester United. In a short episode of Much-Cited United, we indulge in some serious nostalgia to relive that magical night.
