  • TOTD EXTRA: United’s search for the ideal Amorim striker
    Feb 19 2025
    It's the debut of our spin-off, in-depth, discussion podcast Talk of the Devils EXTRA and we're not afraid to dive in head first! Getting goals is the most valuable skill in football and, as a result, strikers are the most expensive players. It's also something Manchester United are really struggling with this season and a likely priority in the next transfer window. So, who are United's recruiters looking at? Has the shortlist changed much since Ruben Amorim came in? What does all this mean for the strikers already on the books? And, can a former Utd striker provide any clues to exactly what it takes to succeed? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Wasteful United edged out at Spurs
    Feb 17 2025
    It was dubbed El Calamatico; a clash of two teams falling disastrously short of expectation in the Premier League this season. Unfortunately for us it was Tottenham, through Manchester United fan James Maddison, who found the crucial breakthrough. In fairness to Ruben Amorim's eleven, they had little support from the bench after a series of injuries in training this week. But, the forwards failed to convert one of a few decent chances on the night; an all too familiar story (that we will look into in greater detail on Wednesday's all-new TotD Extra). With Amad Diallo ruled out for the season we're facing up to the reality of a lengthy period of pain and suffering, all the more difficult to endure because you can't know for sure whether Amorim is the man to bring success back to Old Trafford.

  • Inside United’s player data department and Spurs preview
    Feb 13 2025
    No midweek game but no respite; this is Manchester United! It's an epic show with no fewer than three FA Cup round-ups after the senior men and women and the U18s all booked their opponents in their respective competitions. If things aren't going great in the Premier League, it may be even messier in the backroom where more job cuts were announced in an effort to stem a major financial drain, even if the cause of that shortfall lies elsewhere. Before a look at the Calamatico v Spurs, we also dip into United's effort to catch up with the Premier League's best performers on their data systems and usage. Improvements are long overdue, but are Brighton and Bournemouth a fair comparison? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
