The match absolutely no one wants to play is officially here.

Manchester United have moved fast and furious in the transfer market! In this episode of the Manchester is Red podcast, Steven Railston and Tyrone Marshall break down a massive week of business at Old Trafford, analysing how the squad is shaping up ahead of the new season. We dive deep into the £85m double-swoop for Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, comparing United's business to Tottenham's big-money signing of Matheus Fernandes. Plus, we look ahead to the pre-season opener against Wrexham in Helsinki, discuss Karl Darlow's arrival, and debate the futures of Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo after England's World Cup exit.

#1021 | Ed and Dan discuss United's expected £50m signing of Andrey Santos from Chelsea, weighing fan reactions, Santos' strengths, and questions about his best role in the team. But the broader midfield rebuild this summer still lacks an elite, established number six, with top targets like Aurélien Tchouaméni unavailable after renewing his contract at Real Madrid, and alternatives such as Alex Scott, Lamine Camara and Carlos Baleba carrying various degrees of risk. The conversation then shifts to the World Cup: criticism of Roberto Martínez's Portugal, Ronaldo's influence, and England's tournament so far, including frustration at Kobbie Mainoo not playing and a preview of England vs Norway. And what of Marcus Rashford's uncertain future after the tournament ends? 00:00 Intro and England at the World Cup 03:32 Andrey Santos Signs for United 14:15 The Search for a Unicorn Number Six 16:47 Weighing Up Alex Scott and Baleba 20:19 Michael Carrick's Playing Career 28:07 Tchouameni's New Real Madrid Deal 34:22 Ronaldo and Portugal's World Cup Meltdown 36:47 England vs Norway and Rashford's Future If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

#1020 | Ed and Dominic discuss Spurs spending close to £100m on Sandro Tonali and £85m on Matheus Fernandes, triggering online Manchester United fan panic, while United's only move to date is the deal for Ederson. Is this smart transfer market strategy from Spurs, or are they overpaying out of desperation? Meanwhile, United still need multiple midfielders, especially with an injury to Ugarte at the World Cup following Casemiro's exit. Then there's England's game against DR Congo at the World Cup. It was another flat England performance, with Kobbie Mainoo still yet to see any minutes and Marcus Rashford frustrating. And while we're talking about Rashford, where does his future lie?

The lads discuss where England sit among the tournament favourites, whether stronger opposition might actually suit them better, and why Marcus Rashford, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane could still have a major role to play as the tournament opens up.There is also plenty of classic nonsense along the way.

Instead, Portugal looked stagnant in a frustrating 1-1 draw against DR Congo. We slam Roberto Martinez's rigid tactics and discuss whether Ronaldo is clogging up the pitch or if his manager lacks the cajones to bench him.Tuchel's Half-Time Rescue: England looked like "same old England" after going 2-1 down to Croatia at halftime.

After watching the match in his Airbnb with Joel Beya and Ste Howson - Rio praises the performances of Jude Bellingham, Marcus Rashford and Elliot Anderson. There were some concerns about the defence who were put under pressure numerous times but Rio explains why John Stones challenge of switching sides as a centre-back is such a difficult one to overcome. Harry Kane joins the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi who all scored at least two goals in their opening fixture which prompts a debate around the effectiveness of Cristiano Ronaldo after he drew a blank for Portugal against DR Congo. According to Rio - England's squad depth could be a hugely decisive factor in their journey through the tournament and suggests only France can compete with the attacking prowess on the bench that Tuchel has at his disposal Hosted on Acast.

England beat Croatia 4-2 in Dallas in a match that had everything. Harry Kane scored twice, drawing level with Gary Lineker as England's top World Cup scorer with 10 goals, but Croatia equalised twice in a wild first half. Jude Bellingham gave England the lead two minutes after the break, and Marcus Rashford finished it. England were exciting and vulnerable in equal measure, and they now face Ghana, who beat Panama 1-0 with a 95th-minute winner. Portugal were held 1-1 by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, who earned their first ever World Cup point. Joao Neves gave Portugal an early lead but they never controlled the match, and DRC equalised before half time. Ronaldo played the full game but was peripheral, missing two chances late on. Questions are already being asked about Portugal's attacking structure. Colombia beat Uzbekistan 3-1 in a disciplined if unspectacular performance, with Luis Diaz scoring on the counter attack to make the difference. Tonight, Qatar take on co-hosts Canada at 2am UAE time in Vancouver. Group B is completely level after the opening round, and a win for either side would transform the picture. Mexico and South Korea, both winners in round one, meet at 5am in what could already be a decisive Group A fixture.

#1013 | Ed and Dominic discuss United's deal to sign midfielder Ederson from Atalanta for around £35m plus add-ons. There's been a muted reaction from fans but his standout physicality and counter-pressing should offer something the squad is missing, although concerns about his limited inventiveness in passing are fair. A useful squad option if United add two more midfielders, with Matheus Fernandes also progressing. There are rumors of United's interest in Lewis Hall and Marcus Rashford has an uncertain future amid Barcelona's spending. Finally, 12 United players will be going to World Cup and another 20 or so players and coaches have United connections. 00:00 Ederson Signs! 03:55 Analysing Ederson's Traits 08:10 Arsenal, PSG and the Rivalry 15:55 Matteus Fernandes 20:50 Lewis Hall 24:30 Rashford, Barcelona and Finances 33:29 World Cup Preview: United Connections 34:58 Football Shirts, Kickoff Times and Wrap If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

With Premier League survival officially secured, Jack sits down with Sean Connell, Editor of The Sponsor, to digest the sobering commercial reality facing the club hierarchy. Unpacking the data from the newly released Premier League Fair Market Sponsorship Values 2026 report, the pair discuss the massive 40% collapse in Tottenham's front-of-shirt sponsorship value, which has dropped to £29.8m following consecutive 17th-place finishes and a total loss of European exposure. With the club entering the final year of its deals with AIA and Kraken, Sean explains the potential uphill battle the commercial team faces in a fiercely competitive post-gambling market - but it's not all doom and gloom. The conversation takes a "fork in the road" look at what a Championship relegation would have done to our sponsorship inventory, and evaluates how heavily our identities as a London heritage brand, our stadium assets, and our NFL partnership insulate us from on-pitch rot. Jack and Sean also dive into the fascinating concept of the "franchise player"—debating whether chasing a globally recognised name like Marcus Rashford is a viable commercial necessity to instantly claw back the brand value lost when Kane and Son departed. Finally, they look ahead to the summer priorities, evaluating recent statements from Peter Charrington and Vinai Venkatesham and where Tottenham's priorities should lie going forward.

This is Ollie Watkins reflecting on a journey that very few footballers ever experience - opening up on going from League Two and non-league football to scoring one of England's biggest goals in recent history. Chilling with Rio in his Airbnb, Watkins reveals why he still thinks about those early days every time he walks out for Aston Villa in the Champions League.Despite becoming one of the Premier League's most consistent forwards, Watkins remains hugely grounded throughout this conversation - discussing the impatience that drove him early in his career, the responsibility he felt during Steven Gerrard's time at Aston Villa and why Unai Emery completely changed the standards and mentality within the squad.There's fascinating insight into the mentality of elite strikers too, including why Erling Haaland's role is “so difficult”, how studying Ruud van Nistelrooy helped develop his instincts inside the box and why Harry Kane's leadership is more about standards than shouting.Watkins also explains the challenge of being used as an impact substitute for England and reveals the voice note he sent to friends before his huge semi-final goal after growing frustrated on the bench.The pair also discuss Thomas Tuchel's arrival as England manager, why the squad are already buying into his demand for more arrogance and confidence, and how nobody in the camp can beat him at table tennis. Plus brilliant stories and insight on Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford, Morgan Rogers, Phil Foden and why Watkins believes criticism of Gareth Southgate was completely unfair.There's also a brilliant look into dressing room culture and player personalities - from fashion disasters in the France squad and ping-pong battles at England camp to why Michael Owen's advice means more than anybody else's and the underrated qualities that make Ezri Konsa such a difficult defender to play against.Brought to you in partnership with Airbnb #ad Hosted on Acast.

The panel return on this edition to discuss Tottenham Hotspur closing in on the signings of Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson, with both deals now agreed in principle as Roberto De Zerbi's rebuild gathers pace in North London. We also reflect on the news that Tottenham Hotspur have ‘pulled out' of the race to sign Joao Palhinha. Spurs' buy option expires on Monday, and Sporting CP are moving ahead with the deal. Talks with Bayern Munich are expected to follow. Palhinha impressed on loan at Spurs and has expressed a desire to stay, with the London club holding a €30 million purchase option. Sporting want to bring the 30-year-old back to Lisbon, where he began his career. The midfielder is willing to take a significant pay cut to rejoin his boyhood club, and a broad understanding with the player is said to be in place. A new loan move for Luka Vuskovic to Hamburger SV is apparently not a current option avaliable. The Croatian has two options: Long-term contract extension with high salary. A move to one of the biggest clubs in Europe. Talks are ongoing over the player's future. Luka Vuskovic has revealed his Tottenham future will not be decided until after the World Cup. We discuss what the best next step is for the youngster. Tottenham Hotspur are expected to strengthen their attack this summer, and a new report suggests that Marcus Rashford could become an option. Spurs have reportedly shown interest in signing Marcus Rashford this summer after a 28-goal contribution season with Barcelona, during which he scored 14 goals and provided 14 assists. We debate whether the Club could entice him into coming to the club and whether Spurs can get the best out of him. Finally we close on the news that Spurs have launched an internal review into last season. An internal review has been ongoing since the appointment of Dan Lewindon as Performance Director from Manchester City. This comes after he found significant challenges within Spurs. He joined the Club one day before Thomas Frank was sacked. We reflect on whether the Club will take the learnings from last season and put them into action in both the upcoming window in addition to decisions made both off/on the pitch.
