Bruno Fernandes delivered a captain's performance when Manchester United needed it most, driving a devastating turnaround in a 5–2 victory over Ipswich Town. The firepower finally came alive at Old Trafford, but the defensive vulnerabilities Ipswich exposed leave Michael Carrick with serious work still to do.⚽

Gary Neville reflects on Manchester United's entertaining 5-2 win over Ipswich at Old Trafford, hailing hat-trick hero Bruno Fernandes as the club's best signing since Sir Alex Ferguson and assessing the exciting attacking options at Michael Carrick's disposal. However, Neville warns United's defensive vulnerabilities could undermine their season and explains why he would like to see the club bring in one or two defenders before the transfer window closes.Neville also looks at Chelsea's impressive start and their outstanding attacking options, but questions whether their defence can provide the solidity needed when the goals dry up. He turns his attention to Tottenham after their difficult opening to the season, saying Spurs need to “get a grip of it quite quickly” following defeats to Brentford and Newcastle.Plus, Neville discusses Newcastle's encouraging response, Liverpool's problems at full-back and why their lack of defensive recruitment could prove costly.•You can watch the Premier League action live on Sky Sports.

Rio Presents is back for a brand-new season, with Rio Ferdinand joined by Joel Beya and Stephen Howson to analyse the opening weekend of Premier League action.Rio gives his honest assessment of Manchester United's performance, explains why the midfield wasn't the decisive issue in their opening-day defeat to Hull and identifies the fundamentals Michael Carrick's side must fix.Having shared a dressing room with Carrick for several years, Rio offers a unique perspective on the manager's calm personality and explains why supporters shouldn't mistake it for a lack of passion.The panel examines United's new midfield options, the striker the squad may still need and why one result shouldn't define an entire season.They also debate the changing standards at Old Trafford and whether clubs and players are held to different standards on loyalty, amid transfer uncertainty surrounding Gabriel Martinelli at Arsenal and Ollie Watkins at Aston Villa.Rio also assesses the pressure on Liverpool's big-money signings Florian Wirtz and Aleksander Isak and asks whether their performances have received less scrutiny than their price tags warrant over the last 12 months.Plus, Rio makes a major prediction about Arsenal's title defence and explains why their stability could mark the beginning of a period of dominance.Subscribe for more elite football insight, honest debate and Rio Ferdinand's perspective, shaped by experience at the very highest level.#PremierLeague #ManUnited #RioPresents #RioFerdinand #RioFerdinandPresents #MUFC #MichaelCarrick #StephenHowson #JoelBeya #Arsenal #ArsenalFC #AFC #LiverpoolFC #LFC #AstonVilla #AVFC #EPL #FlorianWirtz #AlexanderIsak #GabrielMartinelli #OllieWatkins #HULMUN #FootballDebate #FootballPodcast #footballtiktok #carrick #wirtz #isak #footballshorts #PLSubscribe: http://bit.ly/15QO9WERio Ferdinand Presents: rioferdinandpresents.comRio Ferdinand Presents Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Presents Twitter/X: https://x.com/RioMeetsRio Ferdinand Presents Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Presents TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Presents Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdinandpresentsRio Ferdinand Instagram: https://instagram.com/rioferdy5Rio Ferdinand Twitter/X: https://x.com/rioferdy5Rio Ferdinand Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RioFerdinandOfficialRio Ferdinand TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rioferdy5Rio Ferdinand Threads: https://www.threads.net/@rioferdy5 Hosted on Acast.

Joe and Gaz are joined by Man Utd fan and YouTuber Tom Cooney. They discuss Saturday's defeat at Hull City, the transfer window and look ahead to facing Ipswich at Old Trafford.

#1033 | Ed and Wayne react to United's 2-0 opening-day defeat at Hull. United's poor performance breaks down into three causes: a tactical selection that didn't suit the game, a fitness gap after a staggered pre-season, and basic failure to finish chances or clear the two set pieces Hull scored from. Then there are the players. Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw remain trusted by Carrick but is their time in the team now coming to a natural end? A wider structural problem persists too; every forward likes to tuck inside, leaving nobody offering width except from full-back, which is a problem too. Then there's the tendency, called out by Bruno Fernandes, for United to play vertically when Carrick is building a side for possession. Marcus Rashford, who set up United's best chance off the bench, gets a long section of debate. Ipswich at Old Trafford is up next. 0:00 Introduction: Hull defeat and the overreaction 2:15 Analysing the defeat 7:15 Set pieces and preparation 11:25 System evolution 16:50 Maguire and Shaw 24:30 Individual performances 37:50 Rashford debate 53:45 Looking ahead 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.

Rio Ferdinand sits down with new Manchester United midfielder Youri Tielemans to discuss his surprise move to Old Trafford, his first conversations with Michael Carrick and why joining United was an opportunity he couldn't turn down.Tielemans reveals what Carrick told him about his role, why the United boss sees similarities between them and how he wants Tielemans to control the tempo, take responsibility in possession and how he can help connect United's defence with their attacking players.The Belgium captain gives his early assessment of his new midfield partners, discussing what Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Andrey Santos can each bring to the team. He explains why Bruno is a "nightmare" to play against, where Mainoo can still improve and why Santos could give United's midfield the security to attack with more freedom.Tielemans also reveals some of the early details he's picked up inside the United squad - including which player was first to message him after his move, the funniest player on the training pitch and why he's been pleasantly surprised with the ego and ‘edge' within the leadership group of senior players.He opens up on playing alongside Marcus Rashford at Aston Villa and why the player he saw every day was completely different to the public perception around him, praising his commitment, attitude and the qualities he can bring back to United.Youri also reflects on becoming a Champions League player at just 16, the advice he'd give JJ Gabriel aged 15 and what he learned under Unai Emery at Aston Villa.Plus, Tielemans builds his ultimate five-a-side team from the players he's shared a pitch with, featuring Vincent Kompany, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku and Jamie Vardy – revealing what made Hazard unlike anyone he'd ever played with and why Lukaku doesn't get the respect he deserves.

#1027 | Ed and Dom pull three stories into one. FIFA wants to privatise itself, United want fewer season ticket holders and £100m no longer seems like a lot of money in the transfer market. Gianni Infantino's plan was to privatise FIFA's commercial entity and sell a stake to private equity. If he gets his way we'll see World Cups and Club World Cups every summer. Old Trafford's crackdown on season ticket holders is part of the same movement. United are cancelling season tickets over what the club calls touting. Fans say it's nonsense. Fewer season ticket holders, and dynamic pricing on the way? Meanwhile, Chelsea have spent £117m on Morgan Rogers while operating under a UEFA settlement. Spurs have blown £185 million on two midfielders. City are lining up another £100 million midfielder they may loan out. United have done very little. Kids on the way out? Harry Amass and Radek Vitek are reportedly available for sale. Four friendlies remain: Atlético Madrid, PSG, Leeds and Milan. World Cup players are filtering back slowly. Is a third midfielder, left-back, or forward on the way in? A short chat about United's kits closes out the the pod. 00:00 Introduction and Preseason Recap 10:11 Transfer Priorities and Squad Needs 14:46 Youth Academy Player Sales 24:03 Rivals' Transfer Spending 34:34 Season Outlook 37:19 Season Ticket Controversy 44:15 Football's Financial Landscape 49:09 Kit Chat and Wrap-up 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.

Most of the seismic decisions that have shaped the football history of the 80s and 90s have been external to the actual business of the game itself. However, 1986/87 saw the most significant managerial change of the era at Old Trafford. Gary Cook from Retro Football Network joins Martyn to re-assess Ron Atkinson's time in the job, the specifics that led to his dismissal in November 1986, the reception for Alex Ferguson and just how difficult it is to turn around a big club.

#1018 | Ed and Dan on United's step towards a new Old Trafford after the club bought 25 acres next door. Should United move? And if it's inevitable, can the club keep its history and avoid another concrete bowl? On the money, a warning against the simple version: this will be structured, debt, equity, naming rights and personal seat licences, not one clean option. Then transfers: André Onana's loan to Trabzonspor confirmed, the midfield rebuild stalling, £40m on Ederson, hot competition for Mateus Fernandes, and a question mark over Aurélien Tchouaméni. The World Cup closes out the show, with underdogs entertaining while England's balance, selection and struggle against Ghana's low-block all come under fire. 00:00 Introduction 01:56 New Stadium Debate 03:01 Old Trafford: Heritage vs Progress 04:08 Stadium Financing 19:01 Transfer Window: Midfield Rebuild 21:33 Fernandes and Spending Strategy 38:14 World Cup, England, Group Stages 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.

After watching England's draw with Ghana at a local bar in West Hollywood, Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to look at what England needed to break down an organised defence.There's praise for Rio's former assistant manager at Manchester United, Carlos Queiroz, who led the Ghanaian side and Rio reveals his former team mates were reminded of Queiroz's coaching sessions during his time at Old Trafford.And after Cristiano Ronaldo's 2 goals - Rio also has a bone to pick with both of his co-hosts who seemingly wrote off the prospect of Ronaldo performing and leading Portugal to the latter stages of the tournament.The trio debate whether it's time for Thomas Tuchel to start Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford who both made positive impacts off the bench for the second match in a row and Ste details why England's tactics were frustating to watch.Brought to you in partnership with Airbnb.

Arsenal are Premier League champions.In Part 1 of The NN Pod's end-of-season review series, the hosts revisit the campaign from August through to May, reliving the key moments, turning points and emotions that shaped Arsenal's first league title in 22 years.  The conversation follows the season chronologically, from the opening-day win at Old Trafford and the early defeat at Anfield, through the unbeaten runs, Champions League nights, title-race pressure and the difficult periods that threatened to derail the campaign.  Along the way, the hosts reflect on pivotal matches against Manchester City, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich and Atlético, discussing how momentum shifted throughout the season and which moments proved most significant in Arsenal eventually lifting the Premier League trophy.  The episode also revisits conversations that ran throughout the year, including Mikel Arteta's management, Arsenal's resilience under pressure, the atmosphere around the club, the Champions League final disappointment and the impact of the summer transfer window.  Part 1 concludes with a wider reflection on what made this title-winning campaign unique and why the connection between the players and supporters became one of the defining themes of the season.  Arsenal are champions. Now it's time to look back at how they got there.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:18) - Season Review Part 1 Begins(01:13) - August: Strong Start & Liverpool Defeat(02:56) - September: Champions League Begins(06:16) - October: Six Wins From Six(08:20) - November: Cracks Begin To Appear(12:52) - December: The Festive Fixture Run(15:15) - January: Draws, Defeats & Maintaining The Lead(20:11) - February: Wolves Frustration & Wembley Reached(22:22) - March: Champions League Progress & Carabao Cup Final(24:46) - April: Arsenal's Toughest Month(28:54) - May: Champions League Final & Title Glory(34:13) - Champions League Reflection & Fan Support(40:48) - Mikel Arteta: Season Review(45:48) - Transfer Window Retrospective(58:12) - Outro & Looking Ahead To Part 2

Zig Ziglar said, “Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have 24 hours a day” When you know where you are going and what you want, you will often find that time will take care of itself. Yet when we have no direction, no idea of what we want, and allow other people to dictate what we do and when, that's when time, or rather a perceived lack of it, becomes the issue.  Today, we're looking at how to discover our direction and decide what we actually want.    Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   The COD Productivity Method  Learn more about the Quiet Productivity Method here Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page   Script |422 Hello, and welcome to episode 422 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  One of the first exercises I ask people to do in many of my training programmes is to establish their Areas of Focus.  There are eight areas that we all share. These are: Family and relationships. Career or business Health and fitness Finances Lifestyle and life experiences Self-development Spirituality Life's purpose The exercise has you define what each of these means to you, and then identify any recurring tasks that will help keep them in balance so that you are living your life based on what you have identified as important to you.  The thing about your areas of focus is that, while we all share the same eight areas, how we define and prioritise them will differ.  This also changes depending on where you are in life. For someone who has retired, career or business will likely drop in priority and lifestyle and life experiences may move up.  Yet the power of knowing what your areas of focus mean to you is in how they help to give you direction and purpose.  This week's question is about how to maintain that balance when competing demands outside of your control clash with your own priorities. So, let me now hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Annie. Annie asks, hi Carl. I use the Time Sector System, and for the most part it works brilliantly. The problem I have is that my boss and sometimes my family keep demanding my help with things that are not my priority. How can I stay on track with the things that are important to me?  Hi Annie, thank you for your question.  This can be very frustrating, particularly if you have spent time establishing what is important to you, yet other people keep trying to pull you away from doing the things you want to do. This is where having some structure built into your week can help.  Let's say that health and fitness is high up on your priority list and that you have chosen to exercise three times per week.  From that, you can pick your exercise days. These could be Monday, Wednesday and Friday, for example.  The first step would be to lock these “dates” on your calendar. Then make sure they are non-negotiable.  For instance, when I was a teenager, I was a competitive 800- and 1,500-metre runner. I was a member of an athletics club and our training days were Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings. Those days and times were non-negotiable. I would never miss a training session. My social life, as well as studying for my exams, were built around these days.  Pretty soon, everyone in my family circle, as well as teachers, knew that on Tuesday and Thursday nights and Sunday mornings, I would not be available for anything. I was training.  Many years later, when I went to university, I did night school. Our lecture times were Tuesday and Thursday night, 6:00 to 9:00 pm.  I was working full-time at the time, and since it took 20 minutes to get from my office to the university, I had to leave the office at 5:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  I made sure my boss and colleagues knew these times, and not once in four years do I remember missing a lecture.  I made sure I never scheduled meetings beyond 4:00 pm on a university day, and my close friends and family also knew when I would be at university. University was easier than the running club. The university worked in semesters; my athletics club didn't. I remember some of my training partners turning up on Christmas and New Year's Day if they were on a training night.  There's an old saying, “If it's important enough, you'll find the time. If it's not, you'll find an excuse” And having worked with over 500 people in the time management and productivity space, I can tell that old saying is true.  You will find what is important to you by looking at what you will not negotiate on.  I have a friend who is a huge Manchester United fan. He has not missed a home game in over twenty years. It's now become a point of pride for him.  As soon as the new season's fixtures list is published, he opens up his calendar and blocks the time out for the whole season.  I remember early on, when Simon began going to Old Trafford, trying to persuade him not to go watch the game and instead to come out with us. The answer was always “no”.  After a while, we stopped asking him. We know he'd go to Old Trafford and maybe, if it was an afternoon game, he would join us later. That was the best compromise we could get out of him.  Looking back now, I have huge respect and admiration for him for sticking to his priorities.  And that's what happens when you stick to your priorities: people respect and admire you.  It doesn't happen immediately, but when they see that you do not compromise on what you have prioritised, they stop trying to pull you away.  This is why time blocking, when done right, works.  Everyone in my circle, from my wife to the people who work with me, knows that between 9:30 and 11:30 am, I am doing focused work. For the most part, that work will be my creative work: writing, recording videos or this podcast, for example.  No one interrupts me anymore. They used to. But by sticking to my plan, people left me alone.  It's only two hours a day, but those two hours add up to 10 hours a week. And you can do a lot in 10 hours.  But it's not just that you stick to your plan; it's also that it gives you confidence when you plan your week.  When you know that no one will bother you when you are doing your focused work, you can confidently work with the hours that you have.  Most of the anxiety that we feel is not caused by the volume of work we have to do; it's caused by not knowing when we will be able to do it.  Yet there's a fix for that.  Let's say you have to review and report the sales figures to the CEO each day. As you do that task every day, you will know how long it takes you to do. In this example, you know it takes you 45 minutes, and you have to send the report in by 5:00 pm.  Now you have the two most important numbers.  When you begin the day, you have access to yesterday's sales figures, so you have everything you need.  That means the question becomes, when will you do it?  If that were me, I would do that as soon as the day begins. Get it done early so that if anything goes wrong in the day, it won't matter. The sales report is done and only needs to be emailed.  And in many ways, that's what you are doing. You're analysing how long it takes you to do the different parts of your job on average and then using that data to decide when, and if necessary, how often you need to do it.  This is like taking your game from being a Sunday League team to being a Premiership team.  The Sunday League team turns up and plays. No thoughts about tactics or strategy other than to score more goals than the opposition does.  A Premier League team strategises, has a plan, and sticks to it. If they go behind, they stick to the plan. They don't panic.  I recently watched a docuseries on Amazon called All or Nothing. In this particular programme, José Mourinho has just taken over as manager of Tottenham Hotspur.  In one of his first games in charge, Tottenham go behind in the first half and panic. They forget the plan, and everything begins falling apart.  At half-time, you can see Mourinho calming the players down. He tells them to stop panicking and to follow the plan. He talks to them gently and says when they get back on plan, they'll soon find a way back into the game.  And sure enough, that's exactly what happens. In the second half, Tottenham are more relaxed, more controlled, and they win the game by three goals.  In our lives, there's always going to be interruptions and demands from others. Some of them you can politely decline, others perhaps not.  When you cannot decline, because it's a demand from a boss or a family member, the good thing is the decision is made. You need to do what's being asked of you.  The key is not to throw out your plan. The key is to get back on plan as quickly as possible.  The worst thing you can do in these situations is to panic. That tenses you up, and you stop thinking objectively. Instead, accept, adjust and execute.  Accept the situation for what it is. It's something you have to do that you did not plan for. So, adjust your plan. Appraise how much time will be required to carry out the new instructions, and then change your plan accordingly.  Then carry out the work.  It's helpful if you have a few non-negotiables. For instance, experience has taught me that if I do not spend some time each day on my emails and messages, these will quickly get out of control.  Ideally, I like an hour to respond to messages and emails, but if I've had to adjust my plan, I'll do 30 minutes. It just helps keep things under control and doesn't mean I have to find more time tomorrow than I planned for.  The most important thing, though, Annie, is that you first decide what is important to you and what is not. This will help you to make the right decisions each day. That's why going through the Areas of Focus exercise will put you in a much better position.  You will know what is important to you, and you can build your calendar around those priorities.  After that, when things are demanded of you that you cannot decline, stay calm and composed and adjust your plan accordingly.  It's never the end of the world, and as long as you get back onto your plan as quickly as possible, you'll soon find that at the end of the week, you're not far from where you wanted to be.  I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question, Annie, and thank you to you, too, for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

It's a conversation that gets to the heart of individual development. How do you raise the ceiling for your elite players without raising the floor too high for everyone else? How do you keep the best hungry while keeping the rest engaged? David's experience at the highest level of international football gives him a unique perspective on this — and his answers will challenge how you think about developing players at any level. This podcast is part of the Developing The Game Changer series — conversations with some of the best coaches in world football about individual player development.

We are back on our journey through the 80s and 90s as we start our series on 1986/87. The second half of the eighties was arguably the greatest run of FA Cup Finals and this season's may sit above them all. From the fourth round victory at Old Trafford, Coventry City's joint managerial team of John Sillett and George Curtis were adamant that this could be their year. Standing in the Wembley Way would be a Spurs side whose treble dreams had faded but who still had the opportunity to send Glenn Hoddle off in style. Author Richard Chamberlain joins us to discuss the most famous season in Coventry's history as well as some other great FA Cup stories along the way.

#1003 |  Ed and Dominic discuss United's new Betway training kit sponsorship worth £18m per year and the wider ethics and prevalence of betting money in football as front-of-shirt bans loom. They then cover controversy around the FA Youth Cup final being staged at City's 6,000-capacity Joie Stadium, limiting United's allocation compared to the 67,000 at Old Trafford in 2022. The conversation turns to Michael Carrick's interim reign: a pragmatic approach, improved results and momentum, Mainoo's introduction, and the risks of replacing him amid a thin managerial market and a Frankenstein squad. Then they preview Sunderland away, prioritising momentum above the introduction of too many youth team stars. 00:00 Introduction 01:36 Betway Training Kit Sponsorship 09:58 FA Youth Cup Final Controversy 14:06 Academy Players and the Reality of Elite Youth Football 22:12 Michael Carrick: The Case For and Against 31:37 The Manager Market and Alternatives to Carrick 38:18 Transfer Plans and Squad Needs for Next Season 40:28 Sunderland Match Preview 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.

It was a blur of a weekend, with seismic results all over Europe! Musa and Ryan begin with Barcelona and Lyonnes getting past Bayern and Arsenal to make it to the UWCL final in Oslo (03:09), moving onto Inter securing their 21st Scudetto (11:37), Venezia making it back to Serie A and more, before heading to the Premier League.Manchester United secured Champions League football for next season (28:31), following their 3-2 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford, so there's chat about that as well as Liverpool's situation. Spurs made it two wins in two to get out of the relegation zone after their win at Villa Park and Bournemouth are one of Europe's most in form teams. Meanwhile, at the top, Arsenal had some key players back and looked sharper than they have in months to beat Fulham 3-0 and go six points clear (50:18) and there's a lot of praise for Myles Lewis-Skelly's performance, starting in midfield for the first time. Finally, there's some Bundesliga chat (56:33), as St. Pauli dropped into the relegation spots and Schalke won promotion back to the top flight.Don't forget to check out kickbacksoccer.com and tickets for our July live show, with Nish Kumar at the Southbank Centre, are available here.For more podcasts, ad-free and in full, plus access to the Stadio Social Club and much more, you can become a Stadio member by signing up at patreon.com/stadio.
