Why Maguire deserves a new Man United contract

Michael Carrick's second spell as Manchester United manager has gone about as well as could have been expected. After our three-part assessment of United's summer transfer objectives, you asked if he is likely to be in charge next season, whether that affects the transfer plans, and if he's a big enough name to attract the right players. Harry Maguire, along with Kobbie Mainoo, returned to international duty this week but Thomas Tuchel appeared to talk down Maguire's chances of making his World Cup squad. We briefly review a stop-start game against Uruguay and outline why, whatever happens with England, he's important to Manchester United and deserves a new contract. Marc Skinner's future with the club is being questioned again in some quarters after a disappointing week for Manchester United's women. A spirited performance was spoiled by naive errors in the Champions League and they were thoroughly dismissed by City in the derby. Megan Feringa returns to fill us in on the details.

Would coaching college make Bill Belichick miserable? + Did the Falcons make a bad bet on Cousins?

Could the coach with the most Super Bowl wins in NFL history be happy working at the college level for the first time? Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel ask legendary coach Bruce Arians, who worked in the pros and in major college programs, what taking a job at a place like UNC would be like for Bill Belichick. They also get insight from Arians on what this year’s class of rookie quarterbacks is bringing to the Bears, Commanders, Patriots and Broncos, on what he sees in Jameis Winston’s recent play and on how the Buccaneers stack up at this point in the season. Plus, Dianna and Chase reflect with each other about which teams made the best and worst bets this year and whether the Falcons bet on Kirk Cousins was a bad one. Finally, they close the show dishing out Uncrustables for the best things they saw in Week 14.
