Episode Notes

Manchester United latest in part two. Part One Fleetwood, Dowman and Kane

In front of a raucous five thousand fans at Highbury Fleetwood Town beat Arsenal on penalties - did the cold rainy night cliche play a part?

Fleetwood managed to get under the skin of young star Max Dowman, was his red card a valuable lesson or unfair?

England captain Harry Kane won the 2026 Ballon d’Or - and it couldn't have happened to a better man.

Michael Carrick is staying at Manchester United - for now. Was he saved by the fans and if so did sentimentality get the better of reality? Paul Hirst brings us the latest as Carrick makes peace with Bruno Fernandes, could he be in line to stay longer than anyone thought?

Tom Clarke is joined by Gregor Robertson, Alyson Rudd, Paul Hirst and Martin Samuel
