Questions for Man United players after World Cup

The World Cup is over and Manchester United's pre-season has begun, although neither has happened in quite the way we wanted... there are some interesting things to learn about Lisandro Martinez and Marcus Rashford after they saw out contrasting 45-minute shifts over the weekend. Kobbie Mainoo didn't get a single minute from Thomas Tuchel... hopefully his back isn't too sore when he returns to Carrington. Over in Helsinki, United fan Sam Smith lived out a dream scenario as he scored the only goal in a 1-0 over the reds by Wrexham. There wasn't too much of note for Michael Carrick's team although we did get a first outing for Andrey Santos and Leny Yoro at right-back might be significant. Finally, we return to the transfer of Youri Tielemans having had a little time to reflect, and think about who the third midfielder might be should one arrive after Ederson signed a new contract in Italy.

Transfer mailbag & WSL preview

The Premier League is taking a break for international fixtures so it's a chance for us to take stock. High on the agenda, of course, how Manchester United's new signings will fare now that we know the make-up of the squad until January, at least. Most pressingly, there are concerns about options in midfield. Louis Saha thinks that area could affect the whole team, not least Benjamin Sesko as he takes on the tough task of filling the centre forward position at a tender age. Might there be a midfield solution from within the squad? Two midfielders, England Lionesses no less, have swapped sides of the Manchester divide. Is it a sign of progress that MUWFC haven't lost another player without a fee, or is it poor squad management? Charlotte Harpur joins us to consider the two sides of that argument, "plane-gate", Brann, and the WSL season.

France ease past Morocco - is it certain to be Spain in the semis? 

The French find a way yet again as their class tells in the first quarter-final of this World Cup. Jimbo, Tom Williams and Tim Spiers are baking in the LA sunshine on Day 28 of the tournament. Kylian Mbappe misses a first-half penalty but then scores and assists as Les Bleus win 2-0 against the Atlas Lions. How do you stop them? They will face the winners of Friday’s quarter-final between Spain and Belgium. Pol Ballus isn’t worried about the Red Devils. Axel Brisart thinks he should be.

England beat France 6-4 to finish 3rd! Who will take home the World Cup?

It was an incredible 10-goal thriller in Miami as England secured their best ever World Cup finish on foreign soil. Jimbo, Tom Williams, Tim Spiers and Daniel Storey react to a scarcely believable 90 minutes and look ahead to the biggest game in football. Bukayo Saka scores a hat-trick as England take home the bronze medal. But does this performance only increase the anger over Thomas Tuchel’s decisions in the semi-final? And what next for France as they say au revoir to Didier Deschamps and bonjour to Zinedine Zidane? Argentina look to defend their trophy as they face European champions Spain in the final on Sunday. Where will the game be won? Will it be Lionel Messi’s last match? Martin Mazur from El Grafico has more. Plus Morgan Rogers is off to Chelsea for £117million? Hosted on Acast.

Man United adapt their midfield plan

Does anything move faster than the Manchester United news cycle? Talk of the Devils ran a practical test today; when we started recording the deal to bring Ederson from Atalanta was still progressing with no new names in circulation. Twenty minutes later, things were very different! It isn't the first news story to break during a podcast recording, but the move for Aston Villa's Youri Tielemans has a massive impact on the summer transfer window and really changes the landscape for any potential third midfield target. Meanwhile, the World Cup isn't exactly overflowing with positive United stories; unless you're Mark Critchley, that is. And, there's been a fresh vision of the plan for a stadium to replace Old Trafford, with a possible revision of the target date. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bellingham inspires England to a semi-final with Argentina

The Three Lions are through to just their 4th World Cup semi-final after coming from behind to beat Norway. Jimbo is joined by Tim Spiers, Felipe Cardenas, Phil Hay and Michael Cox after extra-time in Miami. It wasn’t pretty for England but for the second match in a row, a Jude Bellingham brace did the job as the Norwegians row home. Where does Bellingham’s performance at this tournament rank in terms of all-time England performances? And do Thomas Tuchel’s team have what it takes to go all the way? Up next in the semi-finals, it will be holders Argentina! They overcome Switzerland after extra-time and after a second yellow for simulation for Breel Embolo. We cast an eye over the semi-final line-up which sees the top four ranked teams in the world go head to head. And England and Messi come face-to-face for the very first time! Hosted on Acast.

Argentina make historic comeback as the quarter-finals are set

The final day of the Last 16 brought yet more drama at the World Cup. Jimbo, Tom Williams and Felipe Cardenas are in LA taking in a 27th consecutive day of football. Holders Argentina were on the verge of elimination by Egypt. 2-0 down with 10 minutes to play before Messi and co turned things around in normal time and completed possibly the game of the tournament. Colombia v Switzerland wasn’t quite as good but it’s the Swiss who reach their first quarter-final since 1954 after winning via penalty shootout. The last 8 kicks off on Thursday with France taking on Morocco. It’s a rematch of their semi-final in Qatar. Can the Atlas Lions exact revenge? Maher Mezahi has more. And we take a look at the quarter-finals as a whole. Are we about to see a first-time winner? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Atleti stun Real as Barca v PSG headlines Champions League week

Jimbo assembles the Euro crew as Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle chat through all the weekend’s domestic drama - and look ahead to MD2 in the Champions League. In Serie A, there was a statement of intent from Milan in their 2-1 win over Napoli on Sunday night to take Max Allegri’s side top of the table. They’re on 12 points alongside the men from Naples and Roma - who made it four wins from five against Hellas Verona. Real Madrid were handed a shock on Saturday afternoon - beaten 5-2 by city rivals Atleti to end their perfect start to the season in emphatic fashion. Elsewhere, injury-ravaged Barcelona took full advantage - into first place after their come from behind, 2-1 win over Real Sociedad. But what shape are they in to take on PSG on Wednesday night? Speaking of - the French champions eased to a 2-0 win over Auxerre after their defeat by Marseille last Monday. Lyon moved level on points at the top with Luis Enrique’s side courtesy of a goal from Tyler Morton in their 1-0 victory at Lille. And in the Bundesliga - Harry Kane smashed yet more records, as his brace in Bayern’s 4-0 win over Werder Bremen meant he became the fastest player this century to reach 100 goals for a club playing in one of Europe's top five leagues. All that plus the Labubu black market, Panama hats - and a celebration of 0-0’s. Produced by Lucy Oliva.
