About this episode

Ed and Dan discuss Manchester United's potential move to a new Old Trafford and the implications for the club's history, alongside transfer updates and World Cup analysis.

#1018 | Ed and Dan on United's step towards a new Old Trafford after the club bought 25 acres next door. Should United move? And if it's inevitable, can the club keep its history and avoid another concrete bowl? On the money, a warning against the simple version: this will be structured, debt, equity, naming rights and personal seat licences, not one clean option. Then transfers: André Onana's loan to Trabzonspor confirmed, the midfield rebuild stalling, £40m on Ederson, hot competition for Mateus Fernandes, and a question mark over Aurélien Tchouaméni. The World Cup closes out the show, with underdogs entertaining while England's balance, selection and struggle against Ghana's low-block all come under fire. 00:00 Introduction 01:56 New Stadium Debate 03:01 Old Trafford: Heritage vs Progress 04:08 Stadium Financing 19:01 Transfer Window: Midfield Rebuild 21:33 Fernandes and Spending Strategy 38:14 World Cup, England, Group Stages If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
