One World Sports Extra: United We Stand




Beyond The Pitch show

Summary: In the second of our up-close segments on Manchester United, Phil Brown is joined with Andy Mitten of United We Stand and ESPN FC to take yet another deep dive look into the evolving fortunes for the club now in its second year under Louis Van Gaal and another look at how supporter culture is being shaped with so many changes at hand. Andy helps us through the years of his personal history with United We Stand, examines the deep divide that exists between the stadium experience and commentary on social media and discusses many of the issues most fans consider important in the post Sir Alex Ferguson years. This includes what next for Ryan Giggs, how the global appeal is influencing the culture around the club and how all the years of success continue to shape and ripple expectations on so many levels.
