The Promised Land is a Manchester United podcast brought to you by football journalist, editor and presenter Scott Saunders talking all the latest on the biggest club in England. Taking an approach of "never too high, never too low", a phrase coined by TPL's former co-host, the late Rob Blanchette, the show aims to bring an element of calmness and measured analysis on what we see on and off the pitch in relation to United. Scott has the unique insight of being a fan of the club for 30 years and working in the football media scene for over a decade, and will often endeavour to bring an alternative eye and critical thinking to what's being reported. There's no shouting or over the top reactions, but instead level-headed conversation on all the latest topics for every United fan to enjoy.

    Michael Carrick as PERMANENT head coach? An early conversation...

    Michael Carrick has worked WONDERS so far at Man Utd - beating Man City AND Arsenal in his first two games in charge as head coach. We know the score though - he's only come in on this basis until the end of the season. Roy Keane's certain he shouldn't get the job long term regardless of what he does but this episode is all about how OTT that conversation is, and if Carrick has the credentials at this point to get it. Scott runs through what he'd like to see from Carrick, what he needs to achieved to be considered for the job in the summer, and more. 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts on the game YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #Carrick #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.

    CASEMIRO TO LEAVE! Rebuilding the midfield | Wharton, Anderson or Baleba w/ Adam Joseph

    Manchester United have confirmed Casemiro will leave the club at the end of his contract, and with doubts over the future of Bruno Fernandes & Manuel Ugarte, attention now turns to how United FINALLY rebuild their midfield this summer - and how many players it'll take to fix it. Adam Joseph joins TPL to talk about Casemiro's legacy, Kobbie Mainoo's future role with talks pending over a new contract, and which top targets make the most sense ahead of next season - with Anderson, Wharton and Baleba discussed. There's also discussion on how heavy United should spend in the position, and the profiles each player needs to be at the price points they need to be at to create the right balance. - 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts on the game YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ Follow Adam Joseph on X https://x.com/AdamJoseph #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.
