Summary: Phil is joined by Doron Salomon of Stretford-End.com for the first Manchester United episode to take a deeper look into the youth system and prospects coming through its Academy. At the tip of the discussion points is the issue with Paul Pogba, rumoured to be on his way out this summer with assistance of super-agent Mino Raiola after seeing Ravel Morrison leave earlier this season. We examine the factors leading to their exits to gauge whether the increasing wages now paid to youth players has now reached Manchester United with ramifications on the business model and pay structure and how this may actually test whether the club will have to adapt longer term given that resale value is now a huge factor when buying and acquiring talent. We also look into the matter of how Sir Alex will approach a very entertaining tie with Athletic Bilbao and how this first leg will reveal how serious Fergie views this Europa League tournament and what combinations he may need to stick with as the business end of the season approaches - most specifically on defence. We also take a look at the confusing season that Patrice Evra has had and whether the club will need to pursue another left back this off season and consider the run late this season leading to perhaps the most important Manchester Derby in years as it may just settle the Premier League title where neither club looks much like it is going to surrender too many points before that match.
