    Pre-Season Reality Check: Amorim's Milan Beat Man Utd 4-2 | REACTION

    Ruben Amorim came back to haunt Manchester United as his AC Milan side won 4-2 in United's final pre-season match before next week's big kick off. Scott Saunders reacts to the defeats and look at how Amorim's tactical approach exposed got the better of United - and why simply calls for new signings might not have fixed the issues we saw on the pitch in this game (THIS IS NOT TO SAY UNITED DON'T NEED NEW SIGNINGS!!).

    Man Utd Transfer Planning: Raum, Salinas, Louis Page & the Emerging Talent Strategy

    Manchester United continue to assess their options at left-back as uncertainty remains over a potential move for Lewis Hall. David Raum has emerged as an experienced alternative, with the Germany international entering the final year of his contract, while Racing Santander teenager Jorge Salinas represents a younger and potentially cheaper option. But would signing another developing left-back make sense? There's also discussion of United's move for Leicester City midfielder Louis Page and the club's wider strategy of targeting emerging talent before their value explodes. Where could Page fit into United's midfield plans, what pathway exists for Tynan Thompson, and how should the club balance these young signings with the need for players capable of contributing immediately? Plus, the latest on United's remaining transfer priorities as the window moves towards its final stages.

    Would Arsenal Actually Sell Lewis-Skelly to Man Utd? Analysing His Fit w/ Harry Symeou

    Harry Symeou from the Chronicles of a Gooner podcast joins TPL to discuss Myles Lewis-Skelly's future after reports that the Arsenal youngster has been offered to Manchester United. Arsenal don't actively want to sell Lewis-Skelly and the player reportedly wants to stay — so why has his name entered the market? Harry gives the Arsenal perspective on what's happening, how highly Lewis-Skelly is rated, his strengths and weaknesses, the debate over his long-term position at left-back or central midfield, and whether he could fit into Manchester United's system. There's also a wider look at Arsenal's transfer window, the recent Vinicius Jr discussion, whether Marcus Rashford could emerge as an option and what business could still be done before the deadline. Finally, Harry looks ahead to Arsenal's season and gives his outside perspective on Manchester United and what they could achieve this year.

    BONUS: Myles Lewis-Skelly Offered to Man Utd - Reaction

    Myles Lewis-Skelly has been offered to Manchester United — and it could represent a fascinating opportunity as the club considers its remaining options at left-back. In this bonus episode, Scott Saunders reacts to the Lewis-Skelly links, takes a look at why the Arsenal youngster could make sense for United, where he could fit into the squad and whether this is an opportunity the club should seriously explore. With United still assessing the left-back market and uncertainty surrounding a move for Lewis Hall, should they make a move for Lewis-Skelly instead, or boldly....as well as?!
