[00:00] Hello everybody.
[00:02] Welcome to the United Stands.
[00:04] I'm Mark Goldbridge.
[00:04] I don't know.
[00:04] You go down to London to do Baller League.
[00:09] Pep Guardiola quits and football is up in the air.
[00:11] Does this mean that Elliot Anderson is coming to Manchester United?
[00:13] Well, it should do.
[00:15] We'll talk about the latest with that as well.
[00:16] Also, United's dream uh managerial appointment, excuse me, managerial appointment this summer was Lewis Enrique.
[00:26] We made an approach according to Fabitzio Romano.
[00:28] Let's talk about that as well.
[00:30] He's also going off like a bottle of pop.
[00:33] Roy Keane saying that Man United's obsession with Bruno's assist record isn't the attitude needed to win trophies.
[00:41] And also um the history books say that Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp is the biggest rivalry in Premier League football.
[00:47] Chuff monsters.
[00:47] Absolute chuff monsters.
[00:49] I'll look forward to that section.
[00:51] I really really will.
[00:51] And also Tanali's price is less than 100 million pounds.
[00:55] Apparently he's available for 80 million.
[00:57] So so much to get into on the show.
[00:58] We're going to start off about Elliot Anderson because obviously the
[01:00] Elliot Anderson because obviously the big news overnight is that Pep Guardiola.
[01:02] big news overnight is that Pep Guardiola is going to leave Manchester City.
[01:04] Uh is going to leave Manchester City.
[01:06] Uh why did he announce it last night?
[01:08] I think he watched Goldbridgeidge ball uh three clean sheets in a bowler league.
[01:10] season.
[01:13] One is just um unprecedented and I think he thought it's time to leave.
[01:14] the game because there are better coaches out there now.
[01:15] But on a serious note um look this has massive ramifications for Manchester United.
[01:17] Um,
[01:19] I was speaking to somebody this morning about this, um, and I specifically asked the question, how does this impact Elliot Anderson to Manchester United?
[01:32] And they said, well, it's an open goal for Manchester United.
[01:34] Um, Man United are going to lose this on finances, nothing else.
[01:36] Um, they're going to lose it on the offer.
[01:38] They're going to lose it on the wages.
[01:40] They're not going to lose it on the project.
[01:41] Um, and and and I think that's the best way to look at it.
[01:47] Um, I think it's if Man United fluff this, it's on the board.
[01:50] It's on Sajim.
[01:53] It's on Joel Glazer.
[01:55] I mean, it's absolutely there on a plate.
[01:57] Pep Guardiola is leaving Manchester City.
[01:59] Mesa is going to be the new manager.
[02:01] Mesa is going to be the new manager.
[02:05] There is no pull to Man City now for Elliot Anderson.
[02:06] There could be a relegation.
[02:08] There could be a points deduction on the line.
[02:10] We have a better stadium.
[02:12] We have a in in the sense of atmosphere.
[02:14] We are in the Champions League.
[02:16] There is no definitive guarantee that Man City are going to be better than Man United over the next five years, apart from how they are run.
[02:22] And if they get any problems with the 115, then they're not going to be better than us, are they?
[02:30] So, look, I in in one way it's a huge positive.
[02:33] in another you're putting your faith in a board that is incompetent because most intelligent people this morning are saying well you know and I'm not talking about United journalists or United sources I'm talking about general football people are saying there is no reason Elliot Anderson doesn't sign for Man United in fact it's probably the right thing for him to do because Pep is left Man City could be heading into all sorts of instability whereas Man United as things stand.
[03:01] You would start every week.
[03:04] stand. You would start every week.
[03:04] You might not start every week at Man City.
[03:06] might not start every week at Man City.
[03:06] You will be in the Champions League and you will be the master of your own destiny.
[03:09] You will be playing in the midfield for Man United.
[03:13] And if you play well there, you will Man United will do well.
[03:15] You will be in the Champions League every year.
[03:18] If if Elliot Anderson comes to Man United and he does well, we will be in the Champions League every year because that's such an important position.
[03:27] So absolutely I think this this change um at Manchester City benefits Man United and look I I think we have a chance or had a chance anyway.
[03:36] I think I think it's an open goal for United now.
[03:38] And if he holds if he holds up the Man City shirt I will be saying well I I will be saying this.
[03:45] I'll be saying how have you [ __ ] that up?
[03:47] I mean what what are you doing?
[03:49] Where is your ambition?
[03:51] You talk about winning league titles.
[03:53] You talk about Man United being on the top of football.
[03:55] Look at the opportunity.
[03:57] We may never get a summer like this again.
[03:59] Pep Guardiola, who's built a dynasty at Manchester City and dominated the Premier League, is gone.
[04:03] This is the vulnerable time
[04:05] Gone. This is the vulnerable time everybody's been waiting for with Man City.
[04:09] Pep is gone. Man City will never be as vulnerable as they are this summer.
[04:13] And they're second. Liverpool have got slot at the moment and want to stick with him.
[04:17] So, they're Chelsea new manager as well.
[04:20] So, you know, yes, we've got a new manager, but he has just got his third place, and you have worked with him for 5 months.
[04:26] Yes, Carrick might fail, and I don't think it's the best decision, but the board can't use the excuse of, well, it's a new manager.
[04:32] We didn't know how it was going to work.
[04:33] You've had five months with him.
[04:35] So, we're going into a summer where there's a huge opportunity in front of us, and ultimately, yet again, as fans, we're saying if this goes badly, it's on the same people, isn't it?
[04:48] Because this is about writing checks. That's what this is going to be about.
[04:52] The whole story about Elliot Anderson to Man Man City is there's 100 million pounds to Forest and there's 250 grand a week to Elliot Anderson.
[05:01] That's the stumbling block.
[05:04] This is not about footballing choices.
[05:05] This is not about where's the best place for Elliot Anderson to go because we can for Elliot Anderson to go because we can offer that on a comparison to Man City.
[05:11] offer that on a comparison to Man City and and I think we can offer a better project.
[05:12] you're straight into our team at Man United following in the footsteps of people like Roy Keane and Brian Robson and you can be that person and you will play every week and you will be you know the the opportunity to be a Man United great/ legend and rebuild this football club with us.
[05:30] That is a huge pull on anybody's footballing heritage.
[05:33] Like respect to Man City, they have been very good but they can't offer that.
[05:36] They can't offer Man United's midfielder for the next 10 years to rebuild this football club around and be a legend.
[05:46] You know, it's not the same at Man City.
[05:48] And also, you haven't got Pep.
[05:50] You go Man City, you haven't got Pep there anymore.
[05:51] They Man City could be, look at United since Alex left, we've been absolutely [ __ ]
[05:56] Now, most of that's down to the board being [ __ ]
[05:58] But Man City cannot guarantee that they're going to go and win titles again.
[06:01] Man City cannot guarantee anything anymore.
[06:03] And that's without the 115.
[06:05] Is Harland going
[06:07] that's without the 115. Is Harland going to stick about?
[06:09] if Harland goes, you got to replace him.
[06:12] So, I don't look at that Man City side and go, "Yeah, just go there for the money and get guaranteed success."
[06:14] I don't think that.
[06:16] I think Man United have a massive opportunity here.
[06:18] And if we blow it, and I'll use the words of that journalist yesterday, you know, we blew Bellingham in 2020.
[06:20] We messed up Declan Rice in 2023, third time.
[06:23] We can't do this again.
[06:25] We have to get this deal done.
[06:28] And if we don't do this deal, it's going to be about money.
[06:30] And how do we deal with that?
[06:32] How do we deal with that as fans?
[06:36] If we sit there and go, we, you know, if he signs for Pep, you sort of go, we're just not good enough to get these players.
[06:38] But he's not signing for Pep.
[06:40] He's signing for an unknown manager.
[06:42] He's signing for Man City with an unknown manager.
[06:46] He's signing for money.
[06:50] Like, we just have to put the offer on the table.
[06:52] And look, if Man City were offering 200 million pounds and 500 grand a week, I'd say
[07:08] pounds and 500 grand a week, I'd say step away.
[07:11] But £100 million is exactly step away.
[07:11] But £100 million is exactly what Declan Rice cost three years ago.
[07:14] what Declan Rice cost three years ago and 250 grand a week is what we play.
[07:16] and 250 grand a week is what we play Mason Mount.
[07:20] So if we've got a Pratt at the top of our club saying end of the day, we're not paying a quarter of million pounds for the best midfield prospect in in in Europe and we're not paying 100 million pounds either.
[07:22] the top of our club saying end of the day, we're not paying a quarter of.
[07:24] day, we're not paying a quarter of million pounds for the best midfield.
[07:25] million pounds for the best midfield prospect in in in Europe and we're not.
[07:28] prospect in in in Europe and we're not paying 100 million pounds either.
[07:32] paying 100 million pounds either.
[07:32] Um, I I don't agree.
[07:35] I don't agree.
[07:35] I think it's I think it's absolutely on a plate.
[07:39] it's I think it's absolutely on a plate.
[07:39] And you can't tell me, and I will argue this with any United fan, you can't tell me 250 grand a week is too much for Elliot Anderson when you've got bloody Mason Mount as as basically just a new kit model earning 250 grand a week.
[07:41] And you can't tell me, and I will argue.
[07:43] this with any United fan, you can't tell.
[07:43] me 250 grand a week is too much for.
[07:45] Elliot Anderson when you've got bloody.
[07:47] Mason Mount as as basically just a new.
[07:50] kit model earning 250 grand a week.
[07:50] You know, Luke Shaw's on nearly 200 grand a week.
[07:53] week.
[07:53] You know, Luke Shaw's on nearly 200 grand a.
[07:55] week. Harry McGuire's still on nearly.
[07:56] 200 grand a week.
[07:56] Dit's on nearly 200.
[07:59] 200 grand a week.
[07:59] I I don't 250 grand a week.
[08:03] 100 million pounds that's what this costs and we'll never get an opportunity like this to do it again and if if.
[08:05] 100 million pounds that's what this.
[08:07] costs and we'll never get an opportunity like this to do it again and if if.
[08:09] like this to do it again and if if Elliot Anderson goes to Man City and Elliot Anderson goes to Man City and ends up keeping Man City up there and we
[08:13] ends up keeping Man City up there and we go for somebody else who's not as good
[08:16] go for somebody else who's not as good then who's whose fault's that?
[08:18] Sometimes it's not about the coach.
[08:21] Sometimes it's not about the results.
[08:23] Sometimes it's about decisions that get made off the pitch.
[08:24] This decision is monumental for Manchester United.
[08:27] This decision can be the difference between being back here in 18 months out of Europe moaning about, you know, another new manager or
[08:31] in two years time having two years of the Champions League and building something.
[08:33] This is our time.
[08:35] This is so symbolic and nobody can convince me that this isn't on a plate and nobody can convince me that this isn't on the board
[08:38] and nobody can convince me that this isn't the right thing to do.
[08:40] This is this is a symbolization of Man United's future more than Carrick in my opinion.
[08:42] Michael Carrick might be here for five years, he might be here for five months, but this signing defines Carrick's future as well.
[08:46] You sign Elliot Anderson, you drop him into that
[09:10] Anderson, you drop him into that midfield at 23, we've got him for the next seven years.
[09:15] If he does what he does with what we've got, we will be in the Champions League for the next seven years.
[09:20] And that amount of money will mean that next summer you can go and get another Elliot Anderson and then another Elliot Anderson like Arsenal do.
[09:26] This signing takes us into the area that we need to be as a football club.
[09:30] This signing symbolizes Man United's desire to be successful again.
[09:38] This signing is an opportunity in a summer transfer window where everybody is going through more change than we are even though we're going through change.
[09:46] And this signing is the sort of signing United need to make.
[09:50] I've been talking about this for years.
[09:54] You don't catch people up who are far ahead of you by buying things less than what they are.
[09:58] You buy the things they want.
[10:02] What an opportunity.
[10:05] Man City don't have Pep anymore.
[10:08] Man City's future's uncertain.
[10:08] This is the player that we need. and
[10:10] This is the player that we need.
[10:13] and we're debating or saying we won't pay over 200 grand a week and we won't pay over 200 grand a week and we won't pay 100 million pounds.
[10:17] Well, we won't be successful then.
[10:18] We won't win trophies then, will we?
[10:21] We won't be successful if we don't spend what's required on quality.
[10:25] I don't want us to go and give bloody Alex Scott 200 grand a week or Belaba 200 grand a week or Jao Gomez 200 grand a week.
[10:35] But I will give Tenali and Anderson 250 grand a week because I think they're worth it because that's what they'll get paid at Man City and Arsenal.
[10:43] And anybody who says that that these players aren't worth 250 grand a week, why would Arsenal give him them that that then?
[10:49] Why would Man City give them that then?
[10:50] Why would Real Madrid give them that?
[10:52] Why would Bayern Munich give them that?
[10:54] Somebody said Elise is not worth 250 grand a week when Bayern Munich went and got him.
[10:57] Well, he bloody well is, isn't he?
[11:00] He bloody well is and I think he might be on more than that anyway.
[11:03] You get what you pay for.
[11:06] Absolutely. Uh Mesa to CH Man City. Here we go.
[11:08] Yeah, I've done the video on that football.
[11:09] We I think we all knew that as well.
[11:09] So, look, I think Elliot Anderson
[11:12] Well, so, look, I think Elliot Anderson has never been as close as it is now.
[11:16] It has never been as close as it is now.
[11:19] It is completely in the hands of Sir Jim Radcliffe and Joel Glazer and what check they want to write.
[11:21] This deal can be done.
[11:24] It's about whether they want to write the check.
[11:25] That's where we are this morning.
[11:27] Do I feel vindicated in saying for the last week I think we'll sign Elliot Anderson?
[11:30] He ain't holding up the shirt yet.
[11:31] But I have negative gold bridge.
[11:33] I have said for weeks now I've just got a feeling we're going to get Elliot Anderson and I've never been more confident of that feeling.
[11:36] But it's all going to come down to are they going to write that check?
[11:39] Are they going to write that check?
[11:40] Are they going to write that check?
[11:43] Where would you put Anderson on the hott meter?
[11:45] Says Arsel.
[11:47] Um, they still got to write the check, mate.
[11:49] Seven.
[11:51] Seven out of 10.
[11:54] I I just think like you look, if it happens, yaba daba doo.
[11:58] If it doesn't happen, frustration, right?
[11:59] But look at what's happened.
[12:02] You couldn't have a better 48 hours.
[12:14] couldn't have a better 48 hours.
[12:16] He comes to Manchester United at Old Trafford in a good game of football because both teams have no pressure.
[12:20] So, it's an open game.
[12:22] Enjoyable.
[12:24] I'm sure the Forest players enjoyed it.
[12:26] Um because it was a good open game.
[12:27] He comes to Old Trafford, a brilliant atmosphere.
[12:30] He gets two assists.
[12:33] He's probably man of the match.
[12:37] Um he gets treated really well.
[12:40] You know, 24 hours later, Pep Guardiola leaves Man City.
[12:43] As long as somebody's in his ear saying, "Man United want you, we're never going to get an opportunity as good as that."
[12:49] It's literally still in his head what happened at Old Trafford.
[12:53] He's then got Peps leaving Man City.
[12:56] Now is the time to act.
[12:57] Now is the time where you go in and go, "That's the wage.
[12:59] We don't want anyone else.
[13:02] We want you holding up the new shirt.
[13:05] Let's go."
[13:09] But that's where I worry about United because if this was Arsenal or Liverpool or Man City, I think they'd have it done.
[13:12] I think they'd have it done in the next 24 hours.
[13:12] They'd swoop in on the
[13:15] next 24 hours.
[13:15] They'd swoop in on the weakness.
[13:17] I I would say that this is a weakness.
[13:17] I I would say that this is a little for Man United to sign Elliot Anderson.
[13:22] It's like your biggest rival getting in the ring with you and as they walk towards you, they trip over, knock themselves out on the floor.
[13:25] Yeah.
[13:27] Do you help them up or do you step back and say, "Ref, you better count to 10.
[13:32] You know, Man United have a massive opportunity, but it's now.
[13:34] It's now.
[13:36] Pep, Man City are dealing with their own thing.
[13:39] Their eyes off the ball.
[13:41] We've just had him at our ground.
[13:43] We're in the top three.
[13:45] I I think it's there.
[13:47] It's there.
[13:47] But it will, I admit, come down to My fear is we don't My fear is he holds up a Man City shirt and the brief to all the journalists, Lori Whitwell, James Ducker, Manchester Evening News.
[13:59] Yeah, Man City put a silly offer in.
[14:01] Well, what's a silly offer?
[14:04] What's a silly offer?
[14:06] Because, you know, I I've said this about, you know, if you want to pay 250 grand a week and Man City pay 50, you know, Man Man City pay 270.
[14:14] What's 20 grand a week
[14:18] Man City pay 270.
[14:18] What's 20 grand a week across a month?
[14:21] It's let's say 100 grand.
[14:23] It's less than that across a whole across a across a whole year.
[14:25] 100 grand times 10, it's a million.
[14:28] It's an extra million pounds a year to pay him 270 instead of 250.
[14:35] This is what people don't realize.
[14:38] The margins of we're not going to do that.
[14:40] We're not going to do that.
[14:42] If you run a football club where you go, we're not going to do that.
[14:43] We have parameters.
[14:45] We're not going to do that.
[14:47] Then we're not going to win trophies.
[14:50] You know, I saw his link to Ryson, the right back at Dortmund yesterday.
[14:52] And someone said it to me at Baller League and I said, "We won't sign him because he's over 26."
[14:57] And they couldn't believe it.
[14:59] And I said, "But that's Man United.
[15:00] We won't do that because he's over 26.
[15:05] We won't sign you because your wage is over 200 grand a week and we don't want to pay any more than that anymore.
[15:09] Well, we we we don't want to do that.
[15:12] We don't want to buy.
[15:13] We don't want you because you've never played in the Premier League before.
[15:14] These parameters.
[15:18] Premier League before.
[15:18] These parameters will make us unsuccessful.
[15:21] You have to be able to do it.
[15:22] But I'm telling you now, Elliot Anderson has never more been possible than it is now.
[15:26] I think it's such a such a deal.
[15:29] Um, we've got 10,000 people watching.
[15:31] Uh, let me just grab some of your comments.
[15:33] Henry's 12th assist from 20 was from a corner, says Liam.
[15:37] Um, I'm going to talk about what Roy Keane said about the assist thing in a minute because I have a different take to everybody else and this just incredible pylon that we seem to have now.
[15:45] If somebody has a different opinion to somebody else, I think Pep has done it now to get in Arsenal's head, but gives us a big boost for Anderson, says AD.
[15:53] Pep knows the 115 charges are coming home to roost.
[15:55] Well played, sir, says Irish Trucker.
[15:57] Only Arsenal will be a more desirable destination overall for any player wanting to make a move.
[16:00] Yeah, Inos been given a golden opportunity, says Hiten.
[16:02] Yeah, and I I just want to repeat that as well.
[16:04] Elliot Anderson is symbolic.
[16:06] If we get that deal, it shows we are serious.
[16:09] If he goes to Man City, it shows that we are not serious as a football club.
[16:13] But bigger than that, this summer is such an opportunity and it reminds me of the last year of
[16:19] it reminds me of the last year of Mourinho.
[16:21] Mourinho got us to second place and was ready to go again.
[16:24] He was like, "We finished second.
[16:25] I want to go first next season."
[16:27] The club put the handbrake on and everybody behind us bought players and we just fell behind.
[16:32] This has happened before at Man United.
[16:35] We are in a position in third place where the second place team are vulnerable and everybody else behind us are vulnerable and if we keep the momentum and bring the players in, we can move up to second next season.
[16:50] I'm not saying we're going to win the league, but we can be the second best team in England in 12 months if they do it right in this summer transfer window.
[16:58] If they don't do it right in this summer transfer window, we could be down in eighth.
[17:03] I I I think that the that the the Man United if you analyze it and we're going to do an end of season show next week.
[17:08] You look at Man United I it reminds me of that Mourinho season where we finished second because we could have gone to the next stage but the board didn't want to do it and we dropped and I think we're here again third place
[17:20] I think we're here again third place with what's going on.
[17:22] Pep leaving Man City slots crap at Liverpool, Chelsea have got a new manager.
[17:26] We are in a position where we can really after a good summer transfer window move up a gear.
[17:33] But if we get it wrong, we'll drop and fall behind.
[17:35] It's a monumentous summer.
[17:37] Like I say, Mark, should we get Conte as manager?
[17:38] Says Alex.
[17:39] No.
[17:39] Well, we're not going to do that now, aren't we?
[17:42] Got Carrick, who who who is still not official, by the way.
[17:44] Carrick is still not official.
[17:46] You know, like Fabritzio was going, "Here we go."
[17:47] And all this bollocks.
[17:50] It It will happen, but it's not official yet.
[17:53] This this contract they are still working on it which just goes to show when we're talking about Ellie Anderson this is the problem.
[18:00] We've got there is a manager that is desperate to sign the contract who is still not signed the contract because United is still [ __ ] about being idiots as they always are slow on everything.
[18:10] Michael Carrick Tuesday lunchtime still hasn't signed that contract because we are so slow at everything and this is a guy that's desperate to sign the contract by the
[18:22] Desperate to sign the contract by the way.
[18:25] So if we don't get Anderson, how now the board have to go, says Stuart.
[18:27] Would you consider getting Morgan Gibbs White, says Jack.
[18:28] I don't really want a number 10, Jack, if I'm being honest.
[18:30] This is the time for the board to be ambitious in the summer by the best players and back Carrick.
[18:34] No excuses.
[18:35] Completely agree, Midri.
[18:37] Please do share the video.
[18:39] By the way, we've got over 10,000 watching this morning.
[18:40] Don't forget we're live every morning at 10 o'clock with the new show.
[18:41] Every every afternoon at 2 o'clock.
[18:43] And we're normally live at 8 o'clock.
[18:44] Although tonight it's going to be more like quarter to 7 cuz I am doing the Man City Bournemouth game at half 7.
[18:46] Worst of all we have cash but Glazers Miltas says um.
[18:47] Ke do you trust these owners to get the right players?
[18:49] No.
[18:50] Having a laugh but I think we know that that's what's going to happen.
[18:53] You know it's always going to come down to the owners.
[19:01] I think Enrique got scared he had to manage Agate again.
[19:03] I'm going to talk about Enrique in a moment, Muhammad, because Romano's given a big update on that.
[19:06] On your point of player worth, Madrid are planning 165 million bid for Elise, but if Bayern
[19:23] million bid for Elise, but if Bayern will take it is something else, says one.
[19:25] will take it is something else, says one and only.
[19:28] Uh, and well, if you've got the money to go for Elise, I'd go for Elise.
[19:31] I think he's bloody brilliant.
[19:33] Uh, good morning, Mark, says the nuke.
[19:35] And these rules are probably why Nice are bottom of the league, says Rossy.
[19:39] What happened with Nice? Did they stay up in the end?
[19:41] Um, I think they they just about did.
[19:44] Uh they drew nil nil with Mets.
[19:48] So uh no, they're in a relegation playoff.
[19:52] Nice.
[19:54] That's not been reported much, has it?
[20:00] So the French league is over and um Nice have finished third from bottom and therefore are in a relegation playoff.
[20:05] owned by Inos.
[20:08] That's not been reported much, has it?
[20:09] It's funny how things don't get reported like that, doesn't it?
[20:14] Tanali Stiller Fernandez Hall in the summer says Mandalorian.
[20:16] Uh Lewis Hall is not leaving Newcastle.
[20:19] Hi Mark.
[20:21] As much as I hate Mr. Coxy, if he pulls this signing off, I promise I will not hate him for for only six months.
[20:25] hate him for for only six months. Mate, I've always said this board is
[20:27] Mate, I've always said this board is incompetent, but when they do competent
[20:29] incompetent, but when they do competent things, I will applaud it because even
[20:32] things, I will applaud it because even if they do three competent things this
[20:34] if they do three competent things this summer, it's still outweighed by the
[20:37] summer, it's still outweighed by the incompetence. But maybe they can catch
[20:38] incompetence. But maybe they can catch up. Abs. Absolutely. Right. Let me talk
[20:41] up. Abs. Absolutely. Right. Let me talk to you about this because this was quite
[20:42] to you about this because this was quite interesting this morning. What what your
[20:43] interesting this morning. What what your thoughts on this? I mean, this would
[20:45] thoughts on this? I mean, this would normally be a big story and and I
[20:46] normally be a big story and and I suppose it still is. And we've still got
[20:48] suppose it still is. And we've still got to c we've still got to discuss this as
[20:51] to c we've still got to discuss this as well. Um let me just read this. So, it's
[20:54] well. Um let me just read this. So, it's a circus act says Roy Keane um about the
[20:57] a circus act says Roy Keane um about the assist record uh for Bruno Fernandez.
[21:00] assist record uh for Bruno Fernandez. And he s also said that he will not be
[21:02] And he s also said that he will not be winning trophies at United with that
[21:04] winning trophies at United with that mindset from the players. They conceded
[21:06] mindset from the players. They conceded two goals and everyone's getting giddy
[21:08] two goals and everyone's getting giddy because he's equaled a record for
[21:09] because he's equaled a record for assist. It's mind-boggling. It's a
[21:11] assist. It's mind-boggling. It's a circus act. 20 would be better if you're
[21:14] circus act. 20 would be better if you're winning trophies. Look, we'll come back
[21:16] winning trophies. Look, we'll come back to that in a minute, but this is about
[21:18] to that in a minute, but this is about Enrique. So,
[21:21] Enrique. So, for Britier Romano, Luis Enrique was the
[21:25] for Britier Romano, Luis Enrique was the secret dream of Manchester United.
[21:28] secret dream of Manchester United. United went for Enrique around January,
[21:31] United went for Enrique around January, February to see if they could get a deal
[21:33] February to see if they could get a deal done, but um it was not possible because
[21:36] done, but um it was not possible because he's going to stay at PSG. So, Lewis
[21:39] he's going to stay at PSG. So, Lewis Enrique was approached as the number one
[21:43] Enrique was approached as the number one target for Manchester United in January
[21:45] target for Manchester United in January and February, but it was a knock back.
[21:48] and February, but it was a knock back. Um, what does that make you think?
[21:50] Um, what does that make you think? Because on the one hand, I'm like, well,
[21:54] Because on the one hand, I'm like, well, that was the best person available and
[21:58] that was the best person available and we have obviously got people in the club
[22:01] we have obviously got people in the club that wanted him and we've clearly,
[22:04] that wanted him and we've clearly, unless it's PR, uh, approached him. Um,
[22:07] unless it's PR, uh, approached him. Um, and a lot of people are saying PR and
[22:09] and a lot of people are saying PR and [ __ ] The only thing I would say is,
[22:12] [ __ ] The only thing I would say is, and it came straight into my head, is
[22:15] and it came straight into my head, is that if Man United went for Lewis
[22:17] that if Man United went for Lewis Enrique in January and
[22:21] Enrique in January and February,
[22:23] February, why do you end up with Michael Carrick
[22:25] why do you end up with Michael Carrick in May? And I'm not digging out Michael
[22:28] in May? And I'm not digging out Michael Carrick here, but right, if you go for
[22:31] Carrick here, but right, if you go for Luis Enrique, remember the things I
[22:33] Luis Enrique, remember the things I wanted? I wanted um an experienced
[22:36] wanted? I wanted um an experienced manager with a defined style of football
[22:39] manager with a defined style of football who has experience of managing domestic
[22:42] who has experience of managing domestic football and Champions League football
[22:44] football and Champions League football and a proven track record. Yeah. So
[22:46] and a proven track record. Yeah. So Lewis Enrique would would tick all of
[22:48] Lewis Enrique would would tick all of those boxes and yet Michael Carrick
[22:50] those boxes and yet Michael Carrick doesn't tick any. So what I don't
[22:53] doesn't tick any. So what I don't understand is is that if you have a
[22:55] understand is is that if you have a manager who hit those four criteria, why
[22:58] manager who hit those four criteria, why do you go for a manager that then
[22:59] do you go for a manager that then doesn't tick any of them? Surely you go
[23:02] doesn't tick any of them? Surely you go from Lewis Enrique to Emory or
[23:05] from Lewis Enrique to Emory or Narglesman who aren't as good but tick
[23:08] Narglesman who aren't as good but tick some of the criteria. I just think it's
[23:10] some of the criteria. I just think it's I think it's a little bit the reason I
[23:12] I think it's a little bit the reason I think it might be PR is because it
[23:15] think it might be PR is because it doesn't actually make sense to start off
[23:17] doesn't actually make sense to start off in January, February with Luis Enrique
[23:20] in January, February with Luis Enrique and everything that he has and end up
[23:22] and everything that he has and end up end up with Michael Carrick in May
[23:24] end up with Michael Carrick in May because they're they're polls apart.
[23:26] because they're they're polls apart. It's like going out on a night out,
[23:28] It's like going out on a night out, right? and you're in a nightclub and you
[23:31] right? and you're in a nightclub and you know there's a 10 out of 10 stunner
[23:34] know there's a 10 out of 10 stunner staring at you sort of giving you hope
[23:37] staring at you sort of giving you hope and you go over and as and you're on
[23:40] and you go over and as and you're on your way over you see loads of other you
[23:42] your way over you see loads of other you know nine out of tens and eights out of
[23:43] know nine out of tens and eights out of tens and seven out of tens. Yeah. You go
[23:45] tens and seven out of tens. Yeah. You go over to the 10 out of 10 and they say,
[23:47] over to the 10 out of 10 and they say, "I would be interested, but I'm already
[23:49] "I would be interested, but I'm already married." And you go, "Okay." And then
[23:51] married." And you go, "Okay." And then as you leave, you see all the nine,
[23:53] as you leave, you see all the nine, eight, sevens, and sixes, but you leave,
[23:56] eight, sevens, and sixes, but you leave, you go home and you, you know, you sit
[23:59] you go home and you, you know, you sit in front of um, you know, you get your
[24:01] in front of um, you know, you get your stamp collection out and knock one out
[24:02] stamp collection out and knock one out to that. And I'm sort of like going,
[24:04] to that. And I'm sort of like going, "Okay, you didn't get the 10 out of 10
[24:06] "Okay, you didn't get the 10 out of 10 stunner, but there was there was nine
[24:07] stunner, but there was there was nine out of tens, there was eight out of
[24:08] out of tens, there was eight out of tens, and you've just gone home to go
[24:10] tens, and you've just gone home to go and have a good time with your stamp
[24:12] and have a good time with your stamp collection." And I'm so And look, I'm
[24:14] collection." And I'm so And look, I'm not saying
[24:16] not saying my point is it's like going from a
[24:18] my point is it's like going from a Ferrari to a push bike. It's it doesn't
[24:22] Ferrari to a push bike. It's it doesn't make sense to me that um you would go
[24:26] make sense to me that um you would go from the guy with the experience, you
[24:28] from the guy with the experience, you know, with the style of play, with the
[24:31] know, with the style of play, with the Champions League experience, and then
[24:33] Champions League experience, and then go, "Oh, we didn't get him, so let's go
[24:35] go, "Oh, we didn't get him, so let's go for this that's got none." It doesn't
[24:37] for this that's got none." It doesn't make sense to me to go from somebody
[24:39] make sense to me to go from somebody that because I think when you're doing a
[24:41] that because I think when you're doing a recruitment process, you have a criteria
[24:44] recruitment process, you have a criteria and Enrique ticks a lot of things and
[24:47] and Enrique ticks a lot of things and then you go, "Oh, we didn't get him, so
[24:49] then you go, "Oh, we didn't get him, so let's go for the person who doesn't tick
[24:50] let's go for the person who doesn't tick anything." It it just doesn't make
[24:52] anything." It it just doesn't make sense. Um, unless it is just PR to go,
[24:56] sense. Um, unless it is just PR to go, well, we tried to get the best, we
[24:57] well, we tried to get the best, we couldn't get him, so I'm sure you agree
[25:00] couldn't get him, so I'm sure you agree with that. I don't think it helps
[25:01] with that. I don't think it helps Carrick either. I don't I don't I don't
[25:03] Carrick either. I don't I don't I don't I don't think I'm sat there. If I'm
[25:05] I don't think I'm sat there. If I'm Michael Carrick going, "Oh, great.
[25:06] Michael Carrick going, "Oh, great. Here's a story saying they wanted Lewis
[25:08] Here's a story saying they wanted Lewis Enrique, you know." So, I don't I really
[25:10] Enrique, you know." So, I don't I really I don't I don't really know. I don't
[25:11] I don't I don't really know. I don't know. I mean, if if it wasn't for Ritz
[25:13] know. I mean, if if it wasn't for Ritz Romano, I probably wouldn't really have
[25:16] Romano, I probably wouldn't really have brought it into a news show, but it is
[25:18] brought it into a news show, but it is news. But it doesn't make a lot of
[25:20] news. But it doesn't make a lot of sense. We are where we are. Um
[25:24] sense. We are where we are. Um I don't think they My personal feeling
[25:27] I don't think they My personal feeling is they didn't approach anybody really.
[25:30] is they didn't approach anybody really. My personal feeling is that Jason Wilcox
[25:32] My personal feeling is that Jason Wilcox wanted a head coach that he can control.
[25:35] wanted a head coach that he can control. My personal feeling is that Sir Jim
[25:37] My personal feeling is that Sir Jim Radcliffe wanted something cheap because
[25:38] Radcliffe wanted something cheap because he didn't want to have to pay out
[25:40] he didn't want to have to pay out another manager if it went wrong. And I
[25:42] another manager if it went wrong. And I think Michael Carrick did fantastically
[25:44] think Michael Carrick did fantastically well with results and I think it ticks
[25:47] well with results and I think it ticks ticks the cheap box and inexperienced
[25:50] ticks the cheap box and inexperienced box that Will Cox needs. Um, I don't
[25:53] box that Will Cox needs. Um, I don't think we seriously went after
[25:57] think we seriously went after Luis Enrique or or anybody else, but
[25:59] Luis Enrique or or anybody else, but look, you know, believe what you want
[26:02] look, you know, believe what you want to. That's that's the point. Um, if
[26:04] to. That's that's the point. Um, if there's a will, there's a way, but have
[26:05] there's a will, there's a way, but have they got the will, says Ginger. And
[26:08] they got the will, says Ginger. And Marlo says, I think we forget about
[26:09] Marlo says, I think we forget about Chelsea. They sell Enzo and Anderson
[26:11] Chelsea. They sell Enzo and Anderson ends up there. City is not the biggest
[26:12] ends up there. City is not the biggest competition for his signature now, says
[26:14] competition for his signature now, says Marlo. Well, I did say yesterday. I
[26:16] Marlo. Well, I did say yesterday. I mean, I don't know whether Arsenal would
[26:17] mean, I don't know whether Arsenal would want Elliot Anderson, but Elliot
[26:19] want Elliot Anderson, but Elliot Anderson with Declan Rice would work and
[26:23] Anderson with Declan Rice would work and people say they don't need him, but I
[26:25] people say they don't need him, but I look at Arsenal's midfield and you know,
[26:28] look at Arsenal's midfield and you know, they've been they've been using Lewis
[26:29] they've been they've been using Lewis Skelly in there over Zubame Mendy. So,
[26:31] Skelly in there over Zubame Mendy. So, Zubamedi's place isn't necessarily
[26:33] Zubamedi's place isn't necessarily guaranteed and you also do need a squad.
[26:36] guaranteed and you also do need a squad. Um, you know, PSG have options in their
[26:38] Um, you know, PSG have options in their midfield beyond Vetia and Neves um and
[26:42] midfield beyond Vetia and Neves um and Luis. They've been playing Zenry in
[26:44] Luis. They've been playing Zenry in there as well. So you can have four
[26:46] there as well. So you can have four midfielders, good midfielders for three
[26:48] midfielders, good midfielders for three positions. I don't know that Arsenal are
[26:50] positions. I don't know that Arsenal are looking at Anderson, but they were
[26:52] looking at Anderson, but they were looking at Tanali and I think, well, why
[26:54] looking at Tanali and I think, well, why would they not, you know? So there may
[26:56] would they not, you know? So there may be other options. Um, but you got to get
[26:59] be other options. Um, but you got to get yourself to the front of the queue. Uh,
[27:00] yourself to the front of the queue. Uh, the nuke has given 20 memberships this
[27:02] the nuke has given 20 memberships this morning. You're a legend, sir. Hope
[27:03] morning. You're a legend, sir. Hope you're doing well. Um, uh, thank make
[27:06] you're doing well. Um, uh, thank make sure you say thank you if you got a
[27:07] sure you say thank you if you got a membership. Um, hi Mark. As much as I
[27:09] membership. Um, hi Mark. As much as I hate done that one, thank you very much.
[27:11] hate done that one, thank you very much. Okay. Um, if you're just tuning in this
[27:14] Okay. Um, if you're just tuning in this morning, um, we've just been talking
[27:16] morning, um, we've just been talking about the Elliot Anderson, uh, chances
[27:19] about the Elliot Anderson, uh, chances for Man United, which have gone through
[27:20] for Man United, which have gone through the roof with Pep Guardiola leaving
[27:23] the roof with Pep Guardiola leaving Manchester City this summer. Man United
[27:25] Manchester City this summer. Man United have a massive opportunity to present a
[27:28] have a massive opportunity to present a deal to Elliot Anderson, where they're
[27:30] deal to Elliot Anderson, where they're basically saying, "Look, there's the
[27:32] basically saying, "Look, there's the wage. There's the project. Why would you
[27:35] wage. There's the project. Why would you pick Man City? Why would you pick Man
[27:37] pick Man City? Why would you pick Man City? Pep's not going to be there. 115
[27:40] City? Pep's not going to be there. 115 on the horizon. It could all fall apart
[27:42] on the horizon. It could all fall apart anyway with Mesa. Harland's probably
[27:44] anyway with Mesa. Harland's probably going to leave in a year. Man City's
[27:46] going to leave in a year. Man City's project, how is it any better than Man
[27:49] project, how is it any better than Man United? You've been at here on Sunday.
[27:50] United? You've been at here on Sunday. You've seen what it's like. It's
[27:52] You've seen what it's like. It's exciting. Come and wear the red shirt in
[27:54] exciting. Come and wear the red shirt in the midfield next season and build
[27:55] the midfield next season and build something with us. But I don't think
[27:58] something with us. But I don't think selling the project's going to be the
[28:00] selling the project's going to be the problem. I think writing the check is
[28:01] problem. I think writing the check is going to be the problem. I think we we
[28:03] going to be the problem. I think we we are still run by people that go, "We
[28:06] are still run by people that go, "We don't want to buy people over 26. We
[28:08] don't want to buy people over 26. We don't want to pay over 200 grand a week
[28:09] don't want to pay over 200 grand a week in wages anymore. Well, you know what?
[28:13] in wages anymore. Well, you know what? You have to do that. We need to swoop.
[28:15] You have to do that. We need to swoop. As Andre says, you have to um talk about
[28:18] As Andre says, you have to um talk about the Bruno stuff, right? I will talk
[28:20] the Bruno stuff, right? I will talk about this very, very quickly because I
[28:22] about this very, very quickly because I think we do live in a world where there
[28:25] think we do live in a world where there is so many people and I can predict this
[28:29] is so many people and I can predict this because I I see the clips all day.
[28:31] because I I see the clips all day. There'll be some, you know, overreacting
[28:34] There'll be some, you know, overreacting United content creators today going in
[28:36] United content creators today going in on Roy Keane for this. And and look,
[28:39] on Roy Keane for this. And and look, each to their own, but I think if you're
[28:42] each to their own, but I think if you're going to do content, you should do
[28:44] going to do content, you should do research. And you should, you know, you
[28:47] research. And you should, you know, you shouldn't just spread [ __ ] without
[28:49] shouldn't just spread [ __ ] without research. So Roy Keane has basically
[28:52] research. So Roy Keane has basically said that the way United reacted to
[28:56] said that the way United reacted to Bruno's 20 assists on Sunday was
[28:58] Bruno's 20 assists on Sunday was embarrassing because it's all about
[29:00] embarrassing because it's all about Bruno. It's, you know, it's all about
[29:02] Bruno. It's, you know, it's all about Bruno's assist record. The players are
[29:04] Bruno's assist record. The players are jumping around him like he's the king
[29:06] jumping around him like he's the king and, you know, he gets 20 assists and
[29:08] and, you know, he gets 20 assists and it's all about the assists and it's
[29:10] it's all about the assists and it's embarrassing. It's a circus act and
[29:11] embarrassing. It's a circus act and they're not going to win trophies like
[29:13] they're not going to win trophies like that. And there'll be a pylon of Roy
[29:15] that. And there'll be a pylon of Roy Keane for that. Absolutely there will be
[29:17] Keane for that. Absolutely there will be because people will be like, "Oh, stop
[29:18] because people will be like, "Oh, stop being so bitter. this that and the
[29:20] being so bitter. this that and the other. I actually think people need to
[29:23] other. I actually think people need to understand Roy Keane. Um because I am
[29:26] understand Roy Keane. Um because I am not surprised by what he said at all.
[29:28] not surprised by what he said at all. This is not hate. This is about
[29:32] This is not hate. This is about inspiring and demanding more. He is
[29:35] inspiring and demanding more. He is basically saying to those players,
[29:36] basically saying to those players, running around celebrating an assist
[29:38] running around celebrating an assist record for an individual player is not
[29:40] record for an individual player is not going to win you trophies. You know, you
[29:43] going to win you trophies. You know, you need to be better than that. It's a
[29:44] need to be better than that. It's a demand of success. It's not hate. And
[29:47] demand of success. It's not hate. And for anybody who thinks it's hate, maybe
[29:49] for anybody who thinks it's hate, maybe you're up your mum's chuff. I don't
[29:50] you're up your mum's chuff. I don't know. Or maybe you've forgotten. But
[29:52] know. Or maybe you've forgotten. But United content creators and journalists
[29:55] United content creators and journalists should know this. Instead of being
[29:56] should know this. Instead of being sensationalists for clicks, you should
[29:58] sensationalists for clicks, you should know this. That is not surprising from
[30:02] know this. That is not surprising from Roy Keane.
[30:04] Roy Keane. We used to get knocked out of Europe
[30:06] We used to get knocked out of Europe when he was in his mid20s and he'd go on
[30:08] when he was in his mid20s and he'd go on TV and slag off the board and slag off
[30:10] TV and slag off the board and slag off his teammates and say, "We've been
[30:12] his teammates and say, "We've been complacent. We're not going to win
[30:13] complacent. We're not going to win trophies if we're dancing around winning
[30:15] trophies if we're dancing around winning trophies last year. You got to work
[30:17] trophies last year. You got to work hard. This is a guy who in his early 30s
[30:21] hard. This is a guy who in his early 30s got kicked out of the club for doing an
[30:22] got kicked out of the club for doing an interview on MU TV saying the these
[30:25] interview on MU TV saying the these youth players are [ __ ] and that's why
[30:26] youth players are [ __ ] and that's why we're not good enough. This is not
[30:29] we're not good enough. This is not unusual from Roy Keane to have a take
[30:31] unusual from Roy Keane to have a take that is about Man United being better.
[30:34] that is about Man United being better. So before you start having a pop at Roy
[30:36] So before you start having a pop at Roy Keane and saying, "Oh, he's a bitter old
[30:37] Keane and saying, "Oh, he's a bitter old player and this needs to stop." Well,
[30:39] player and this needs to stop." Well, you didn't want it to stop when he was
[30:41] you didn't want it to stop when he was doing it in a Man United shirt. You
[30:42] doing it in a Man United shirt. You didn't want it to stop when he was in a
[30:44] didn't want it to stop when he was in a Man United shirt demanding better. And
[30:46] Man United shirt demanding better. And that's all he's doing. So whether I
[30:48] that's all he's doing. So whether I agree with what he says about Bruno
[30:50] agree with what he says about Bruno Fernandez or not, at least I do my
[30:52] Fernandez or not, at least I do my bloody research. This is nothing unique
[30:54] bloody research. This is nothing unique to Roy Keane, but you will get people
[30:56] to Roy Keane, but you will get people who who who make out they're lifelong
[30:58] who who who make out they're lifelong United fans or make out they know things
[31:00] United fans or make out they know things about Man United. We are living in a
[31:03] about Man United. We are living in a world where Man United haven't been near
[31:05] world where Man United haven't been near a league title for 13 years. We are
[31:07] a league title for 13 years. We are living in a world where we have finished
[31:09] living in a world where we have finished third in the league, but we are miles
[31:11] third in the league, but we are miles off the title. If you think that where
[31:14] off the title. If you think that where we are at the moment is something to
[31:16] we are at the moment is something to celebrate, then get on Roy Keane's back.
[31:19] celebrate, then get on Roy Keane's back. But if you think we're miles away from
[31:21] But if you think we're miles away from where we need to be and players need to
[31:23] where we need to be and players need to lock in a little bit better, then maybe
[31:24] lock in a little bit better, then maybe he's talking sense because I
[31:27] he's talking sense because I specifically remember, I think it was
[31:29] specifically remember, I think it was 2001, we got knocked out of the
[31:32] 2001, we got knocked out of the Champions League. We'd won the treble
[31:34] Champions League. We'd won the treble two years before and we were getting
[31:36] two years before and we were getting further and further away from winning
[31:37] further and further away from winning the Champions League despite thinking we
[31:39] the Champions League despite thinking we were going to dominate it. And Roy Keane
[31:41] were going to dominate it. And Roy Keane did an interview after we'd been knocked
[31:43] did an interview after we'd been knocked out and basically called out the
[31:44] out and basically called out the manager, the board, and his own team by
[31:47] manager, the board, and his own team by saying, "We've got complacent. We think
[31:49] saying, "We've got complacent. We think we're better than we are. You know,
[31:51] we're better than we are. You know, maybe we haven't added the quality we
[31:53] maybe we haven't added the quality we need to this team, but we are not good
[31:55] need to this team, but we are not good enough and it's not acceptable." He was
[31:58] enough and it's not acceptable." He was doing that in his 20s as captain.
[32:02] doing that in his 20s as captain. So, if you're going to say he's a hater,
[32:04] So, if you're going to say he's a hater, maybe do some research because he's
[32:06] maybe do some research because he's always been like this. And if you did,
[32:09] always been like this. And if you did, if you liked it as if you liked it when
[32:10] if you liked it as if you liked it when he was a player, why don't you like it
[32:12] he was a player, why don't you like it now? If you've never liked Roy Keane,
[32:14] now? If you've never liked Roy Keane, absolutely fine. But like, I have to
[32:16] absolutely fine. But like, I have to say, having watched United for most of
[32:18] say, having watched United for most of my life, there is nothing that Roy Keane
[32:21] my life, there is nothing that Roy Keane has said there that is any different to
[32:22] has said there that is any different to what he used to say in a Man United
[32:23] what he used to say in a Man United shirt. I mean, he walked out of Ireland
[32:24] shirt. I mean, he walked out of Ireland in the 2002 World Cup. He just has a
[32:28] in the 2002 World Cup. He just has a very very high standard of what he wants
[32:31] very very high standard of what he wants and he doesn't suffer assist records or
[32:34] and he doesn't suffer assist records or you know dancing in the dressing room or
[32:37] you know dancing in the dressing room or you know he didn't like the Michael
[32:38] you know he didn't like the Michael Jackson celebration from the Newcastle
[32:40] Jackson celebration from the Newcastle player the other day. He just wants to
[32:42] player the other day. He just wants to win and he knows what it takes to win
[32:45] win and he knows what it takes to win and his standards might be different to
[32:46] and his standards might be different to yours. So by all means if you don't like
[32:48] yours. So by all means if you don't like what he said about Bruno absolutely go
[32:50] what he said about Bruno absolutely go for it. But it's not about bitterness
[32:53] for it. But it's not about bitterness and hate because he was doing it in a
[32:55] and hate because he was doing it in a United shirt. And ultimately,
[32:59] United shirt. And ultimately, look, I think what Bruno's done is
[33:00] look, I think what Bruno's done is great. I think what Bruno's done is a
[33:03] great. I think what Bruno's done is a massive achievement. And you know, I I
[33:06] massive achievement. And you know, I I think he'll break the record on Sunday.
[33:08] think he'll break the record on Sunday. But are we anywhere near winning Premier
[33:10] But are we anywhere near winning Premier League titles? No. Are we anywhere near
[33:12] League titles? No. Are we anywhere near earning Champions leagues? No. Would I
[33:14] earning Champions leagues? No. Would I want Roy Keane in that dressing room
[33:16] want Roy Keane in that dressing room right now trying to help us do that?
[33:18] right now trying to help us do that? Yes. Um, I don't think the old um
[33:23] Yes. Um, I don't think the old um putting every putting your arm around
[33:24] putting every putting your arm around everybody and going we're great because
[33:26] everybody and going we're great because Bruno's got 20 assists. I don't think
[33:27] Bruno's got 20 assists. I don't think that's going to help us win league
[33:28] that's going to help us win league titles. So, I think there's a bit
[33:30] titles. So, I think there's a bit there's an element of truth to it. But
[33:32] there's an element of truth to it. But what I would say is he's always been
[33:35] what I would say is he's always been like that
[33:36] like that and you can hate the pundit
[33:40] and you can hate the pundit but everybody loved the player and he
[33:42] but everybody loved the player and he and he used to do the same thing as a
[33:43] and he used to do the same thing as a player. He'd come out and go I mean it's
[33:45] player. He'd come out and go I mean it's always been like that. Always been like
[33:47] always been like that. Always been like that. So, look,
[33:51] that. So, look, I think what I personally think what
[33:53] I think what I personally think what Bruno's done is is incredible this
[33:55] Bruno's done is is incredible this season and and he deserves player of the
[33:56] season and and he deserves player of the year. Um, and the meltdown it causes
[33:59] year. Um, and the meltdown it causes people like Piers Morgan that Declan
[34:01] people like Piers Morgan that Declan Rice isn't going to get it is hilarious.
[34:02] Rice isn't going to get it is hilarious. Of course, Bruno Fernandez deserves to
[34:04] Of course, Bruno Fernandez deserves to win player of the year. He's, you know,
[34:05] win player of the year. He's, you know, we wouldn't be in the top three if it
[34:07] we wouldn't be in the top three if it wasn't for Bruno Fernandez. But, as
[34:09] wasn't for Bruno Fernandez. But, as Ricky would probably say, can you win a
[34:12] Ricky would probably say, can you win a league title with Bruno Fernandez? I
[34:14] league title with Bruno Fernandez? I think you can if you give him the right
[34:16] think you can if you give him the right players which is why we need the Elliot
[34:18] players which is why we need the Elliot Andersons. Some people think Bruno teams
[34:21] Andersons. Some people think Bruno teams will never win the league because it is
[34:23] will never win the league because it is all about Bruno. Um I mean that's a
[34:25] all about Bruno. Um I mean that's a debate in itself but probably not one
[34:27] debate in itself but probably not one for now. Um when Bruno plays is it all
[34:32] for now. Um when Bruno plays is it all about Bruno?
[34:34] about Bruno? Would we be better off without Bruno? I
[34:36] Would we be better off without Bruno? I don't think that's a conversation for
[34:37] don't think that's a conversation for now. Um, I personally think Bruno
[34:40] now. Um, I personally think Bruno Fernandez is a number 10 is why we're in
[34:42] Fernandez is a number 10 is why we're in the top three and without him we
[34:43] the top three and without him we wouldn't have it and we needed that
[34:44] wouldn't have it and we needed that Champions League football. And if we're
[34:47] Champions League football. And if we're going to run the experiment of can we
[34:49] going to run the experiment of can we win a title with Bruno, we better buy
[34:51] win a title with Bruno, we better buy some [ __ ] players that can play
[34:52] some [ __ ] players that can play around Bruno because we have never done
[34:54] around Bruno because we have never done that. Um, just adding to my earlier
[34:56] that. Um, just adding to my earlier super chat, these golden opportunities
[34:58] super chat, these golden opportunities don't come around very often for great
[34:59] don't come around very often for great players, so we must take advantage. Do
[35:01] players, so we must take advantage. Do everything to get them or we will fall
[35:03] everything to get them or we will fall further back and lose out, says Daniel.
[35:05] further back and lose out, says Daniel. I also think Elliot Anderson would
[35:07] I also think Elliot Anderson would complement Bruno Fernandez very very
[35:08] complement Bruno Fernandez very very well. Um
[35:11] well. Um I was thinking about this last night
[35:12] I was thinking about this last night driving back from London. You know,
[35:14] driving back from London. You know, Bruno Fernandez is a very, you know,
[35:16] Bruno Fernandez is a very, you know, we're a team that is winning games with
[35:19] we're a team that is winning games with less than 50% possession because we're
[35:21] less than 50% possession because we're counterattacking. I don't think that's
[35:23] counterattacking. I don't think that's going to change next season with Carrick
[35:25] going to change next season with Carrick and Steve Holland and his coaches. I
[35:27] and Steve Holland and his coaches. I don't think they're about to reinvent
[35:28] don't think they're about to reinvent the wheel. I think we're absolutely
[35:30] the wheel. I think we're absolutely going to play the same same way next
[35:31] going to play the same same way next season. So, you've got to buy players in
[35:34] season. So, you've got to buy players in that are going to work with Bruno. Um,
[35:37] that are going to work with Bruno. Um, and I think Elliot Anderson would work
[35:38] and I think Elliot Anderson would work well with Bruno. I think Tanali would
[35:40] well with Bruno. I think Tanali would work well with Bruno. I don't know. I
[35:44] work well with Bruno. I don't know. I don't know that
[35:47] don't know that projects are going to work well because
[35:48] projects are going to work well because Bruno get frustrated. Um, I think Bruno
[35:51] Bruno get frustrated. Um, I think Bruno needs people who who are ready to go
[35:53] needs people who who are ready to go because he's already captain and he's
[35:55] because he's already captain and he's already having to help Cesco and Dorgu
[35:58] already having to help Cesco and Dorgu and everybody else. I think Bruno needs
[36:00] and everybody else. I think Bruno needs support with experience. I think
[36:02] support with experience. I think Casemiro and Meguire have been so good
[36:04] Casemiro and Meguire have been so good for Bruno this year because they're
[36:05] for Bruno this year because they're experienced. I think he needs players
[36:07] experienced. I think he needs players that can come into the team. Um, this
[36:09] that can come into the team. Um, this was supposed to be the summer of
[36:10] was supposed to be the summer of midfield rebuild. I don't get the three
[36:12] midfield rebuild. I don't get the three levels of midfielders demand nothing
[36:14] levels of midfielders demand nothing less than Anderson, uh, Tumini and
[36:16] less than Anderson, uh, Tumini and Tanali as reality speaks different. I
[36:18] Tanali as reality speaks different. I mean, I think we'd all love those three,
[36:19] mean, I think we'd all love those three, but I don't think we will do it. Um,
[36:22] but I don't think we will do it. Um, Bruno is better than Keen. Yeah, get
[36:24] Bruno is better than Keen. Yeah, get back up your mum's chuff, mate. The
[36:26] back up your mum's chuff, mate. The problem is if in a year the pet
[36:27] problem is if in a year the pet replacement has not worked out, City
[36:29] replacement has not worked out, City would think nothing of buying out the
[36:31] would think nothing of buying out the contract of any manager they want, says
[36:33] contract of any manager they want, says Glen C. Uh, sorry, what? The problem is
[36:36] Glen C. Uh, sorry, what? The problem is if in a year the pet replacement has not
[36:37] if in a year the pet replacement has not worked out, City would think nothing of
[36:39] worked out, City would think nothing of buying out the contract of any manager
[36:41] buying out the contract of any manager they want. Yeah, I mean, look, if
[36:43] they want. Yeah, I mean, look, if Manchester City, the future of
[36:45] Manchester City, the future of Manchester City is not for us to discuss
[36:47] Manchester City is not for us to discuss on the United Stand, but there is a
[36:49] on the United Stand, but there is a vulnerability to City now that there
[36:51] vulnerability to City now that there might not be in 12 months. I agree. If
[36:54] might not be in 12 months. I agree. If they dodge the charges,
[36:58] they dodge the charges, then they're a very rich club forever
[37:01] then they're a very rich club forever and they can just go and spend their
[37:03] and they can just go and spend their money legitimately.
[37:07] money legitimately. But right here, right now, those charges
[37:09] But right here, right now, those charges still large loom large and Pep Guardiola
[37:12] still large loom large and Pep Guardiola is leaving. That is leverage. If I'm
[37:16] is leaving. That is leverage. If I'm Jason Wilcox, I'm talking to Elliot
[37:18] Jason Wilcox, I'm talking to Elliot Anderson now and I'm saying, "You don't
[37:21] Anderson now and I'm saying, "You don't know where Man City going to be in six
[37:22] know where Man City going to be in six months. You don't know which way that
[37:24] months. You don't know which way that court case is going to go. If that goes
[37:26] court case is going to go. If that goes against them, you could be playing in
[37:27] against them, you could be playing in the championship.
[37:29] the championship. Also, Pep Guardiola is not going to be
[37:31] Also, Pep Guardiola is not going to be there. You don't know that this isn't
[37:33] there. You don't know that this isn't going to go the way it did after Sir
[37:35] going to go the way it did after Sir Alex with us where the club just
[37:37] Alex with us where the club just disappears for a few years, whereas
[37:39] disappears for a few years, whereas we're on the rise. Those that's
[37:41] we're on the rise. Those that's leverage. We I mean, it's [ __ ] You
[37:43] leverage. We I mean, it's [ __ ] You know, Mesa might do better than Pep and
[37:45] know, Mesa might do better than Pep and Man City might dodge the charges,
[37:48] Man City might dodge the charges, but you play on the leverage. You go,
[37:50] but you play on the leverage. You go, mate. Look, you're straight into our
[37:52] mate. Look, you're straight into our midfield in the Champions League and
[37:53] midfield in the Champions League and we're going places.
[37:56] we're going places. You go Man City, you might have to fight
[37:58] You go Man City, you might have to fight for your place in a team that gets hit
[38:00] for your place in a team that gets hit with some points deductions and with a
[38:03] with some points deductions and with a manager that might not work out. There's
[38:05] manager that might not work out. There's jeopardy there at United. So, so that
[38:07] jeopardy there at United. So, so that that's what we've got to be selling. Um,
[38:10] that's what we've got to be selling. Um, Sunrise says, "Gary Keen and Skoles uh
[38:13] Sunrise says, "Gary Keen and Skoles uh loved his players now are just scenile
[38:14] loved his players now are just scenile and old trying to sell podcast. Keen, if
[38:16] and old trying to sell podcast. Keen, if you had that mentality, you would never
[38:17] you had that mentality, you would never get relegated." Yeah, he didn't listen
[38:19] get relegated." Yeah, he didn't listen to anything. I said, "Did I did you,
[38:20] to anything. I said, "Did I did you, mate?" And I think calling people senel
[38:22] mate?" And I think calling people senel is very, very, very offensive. But look,
[38:24] is very, very, very offensive. But look, if you're not old enough or intelligent
[38:26] if you're not old enough or intelligent enough to remember Roy Keane saying a
[38:27] enough to remember Roy Keane saying a lot worse in interviews when he was in a
[38:28] lot worse in interviews when he was in a Man United shirt, um, I wouldn't be
[38:31] Man United shirt, um, I wouldn't be shocked by what he's just said in a
[38:32] shocked by what he's just said in a podcast. Um, do you think Bruno will
[38:34] podcast. Um, do you think Bruno will break the record? Hesitating to write
[38:36] break the record? Hesitating to write the check for Anderson, but didn't want
[38:38] the check for Anderson, but didn't want Sanchez or Pogba, and 250k is more than
[38:41] Sanchez or Pogba, and 250k is more than fair, says Seth. Bruno will break the
[38:43] fair, says Seth. Bruno will break the record on s on sat Sunday. Yes. Um, it's
[38:46] record on s on sat Sunday. Yes. Um, it's written in the stars. Um yeah and the
[38:49] written in the stars. Um yeah and the way that Brighton play he will get he
[38:51] way that Brighton play he will get he will get chances as well. I mean he
[38:53] will get chances as well. I mean he should have broke it he should have
[38:54] should have broke it he should have broke it at the weekend. Um and if he
[38:58] broke it at the weekend. Um and if he doesn't break it I look at all the
[39:00] doesn't break it I look at all the chances that people have missed as well.
[39:03] chances that people have missed as well. He should have broke it already and he
[39:04] He should have broke it already and he will break it on Sunday. If there's a
[39:06] will break it on Sunday. If there's a will, there's a way. Thank you very much
[39:07] will, there's a way. Thank you very much says Ginger Red. Just very quickly on
[39:09] says Ginger Red. Just very quickly on Pep Guardiola, I do have to say this and
[39:11] Pep Guardiola, I do have to say this and I know we're going to be very very
[39:12] I know we're going to be very very biased here, but I quote tweeted at a
[39:14] biased here, but I quote tweeted at a Liverpool account this morning who said
[39:16] Liverpool account this morning who said that Pep and Klopp was the is the
[39:19] that Pep and Klopp was the is the greatest managerial rivalry in Premier
[39:21] greatest managerial rivalry in Premier League history. The Premier League
[39:23] League history. The Premier League started in the early 90s, right? The the
[39:25] started in the early 90s, right? The the the benefit of being in my mid-4s is
[39:29] the benefit of being in my mid-4s is that I've seen everything in the Premier
[39:31] that I've seen everything in the Premier League. So, I know that Dennis Irwin is
[39:32] League. So, I know that Dennis Irwin is the best fullback in Premier League
[39:34] the best fullback in Premier League history. he just doesn't get appreciated
[39:36] history. he just doesn't get appreciated because he played in the 90s. Um, I also
[39:38] because he played in the 90s. Um, I also know that the 1994 double-inning Man
[39:40] know that the 1994 double-inning Man United side is one of the best Premier
[39:42] United side is one of the best Premier League sides that never gets mentioned
[39:44] League sides that never gets mentioned because people forget that the Premier
[39:45] because people forget that the Premier League existed in the 90s. Pep and Klopp
[39:49] League existed in the 90s. Pep and Klopp as a rivalry doesn't jump out to me
[39:52] as a rivalry doesn't jump out to me actually as much as Mourinho and Sir
[39:54] actually as much as Mourinho and Sir Alex if I'm being completely honest, but
[39:57] Alex if I'm being completely honest, but the definitive Premier League rivalry is
[40:00] the definitive Premier League rivalry is Wenger and Sir Alex. And most of you
[40:03] Wenger and Sir Alex. And most of you won't have lived it, but it was on a
[40:06] won't have lived it, but it was on a different level to anything I've ever
[40:07] different level to anything I've ever seen. And you get people saying, "Yeah,
[40:10] seen. And you get people saying, "Yeah, but Pep and Klopp raised the quality of
[40:12] but Pep and Klopp raised the quality of football in the Premier League." What
[40:14] football in the Premier League." What was Wenger and Sir Alex doing then
[40:15] was Wenger and Sir Alex doing then playing [ __ ] golf? Arson Wenger came
[40:19] playing [ __ ] golf? Arson Wenger came into the Premier League from Japan and
[40:21] into the Premier League from Japan and revolutionized nutrition and fitness
[40:24] revolutionized nutrition and fitness and they played really good football.
[40:26] and they played really good football. And I tell you what, Man United under
[40:29] And I tell you what, Man United under Alex Ferguson, he wasn't the Scottish
[40:31] Alex Ferguson, he wasn't the Scottish Tony Pulis. We used to play wing
[40:33] Tony Pulis. We used to play wing football, attacking from the start,
[40:35] football, attacking from the start, getting people in the box. The football
[40:37] getting people in the box. The football was bloody brilliant back in the late
[40:39] was bloody brilliant back in the late 90s. Also, the two teams hated each
[40:42] 90s. Also, the two teams hated each other. So, it was none of this shaking
[40:44] other. So, it was none of this shaking hands bollocks before it. People used to
[40:45] hands bollocks before it. People used to go out there and actually tackle each
[40:47] go out there and actually tackle each other and go for each other and grab
[40:48] other and go for each other and grab hold of each other. And the managers
[40:50] hold of each other. And the managers didn't like each other either. The
[40:51] didn't like each other either. The Premier League rivalry that tops any is
[40:54] Premier League rivalry that tops any is Arsenal and Man United. And it was a
[40:56] Arsenal and Man United. And it was a long time ago, and I don't even see
[40:57] long time ago, and I don't even see Arsenal as a rival anymore, but that was
[41:00] Arsenal as a rival anymore, but that was incredible. It was definitive. You've
[41:02] incredible. It was definitive. You've got the tunnel with Roy Keane and
[41:04] got the tunnel with Roy Keane and Patrick Vieiraa. Some of the games at
[41:06] Patrick Vieiraa. Some of the games at Hybrid them coming to us and beating us
[41:08] Hybrid them coming to us and beating us to win that um um Premier League. I
[41:11] to win that um um Premier League. I think it was was it 2001? No, it
[41:13] think it was was it 2001? No, it wouldn't have been 2001. I think it was
[41:14] wouldn't have been 2001. I think it was 2003 or two. Um the treble in 99, their
[41:18] 2003 or two. Um the treble in 99, their double in 98. Um the Ryan Giggs with his
[41:22] double in 98. Um the Ryan Giggs with his top off. Look, nothing against Klo. I
[41:25] top off. Look, nothing against Klo. I think what he did at Liverpool was
[41:26] think what he did at Liverpool was incredible. And what Pep's done at Man
[41:28] incredible. And what Pep's done at Man City is, you know, very, very good. But
[41:32] City is, you know, very, very good. But Pep, you know, if you didn't live it,
[41:34] Pep, you know, if you didn't live it, don't critique it. It's like people in
[41:36] don't critique it. It's like people in their 20s saying that Rodri is better
[41:37] their 20s saying that Rodri is better than Roy Keane when they were factually
[41:39] than Roy Keane when they were factually up their mum's chuff when Roy Keane was
[41:41] up their mum's chuff when Roy Keane was in his prime. I'm telling you now, Sir
[41:43] in his prime. I'm telling you now, Sir Alex and Wenger is the best Premier
[41:45] Alex and Wenger is the best Premier League rivalry. Had everything. You
[41:48] League rivalry. Had everything. You wouldn't be able to have that rivalry
[41:50] wouldn't be able to have that rivalry now. It was proper vicious at times and
[41:52] now. It was proper vicious at times and it was good football. Um,
[41:55] it was good football. Um, Pep Guardiola's legacy in the Premier
[41:57] Pep Guardiola's legacy in the Premier League. Look, it's a debate. Is he the
[42:00] League. Look, it's a debate. Is he the second best manager in Premier League
[42:02] second best manager in Premier League history? That's a fair debate. Is Pep
[42:05] history? That's a fair debate. Is Pep Guardiola the second best manager in
[42:07] Guardiola the second best manager in Premier League history? And that debate
[42:09] Premier League history? And that debate is one that will run and run and run.
[42:11] is one that will run and run and run. Um, you know, he's won a lot of things
[42:13] Um, you know, he's won a lot of things with a checkbook. Um, but he had he had
[42:16] with a checkbook. Um, but he had he had started to rebuild a team, which Sir
[42:18] started to rebuild a team, which Sir Alex Ferguson did five times. Um, but
[42:21] Alex Ferguson did five times. Um, but look, I I actually think Man City have
[42:24] look, I I actually think Man City have played well this season. I think they've
[42:25] played well this season. I think they've played the best football. Um, and I
[42:27] played the best football. Um, and I think he has rebuilt the team, but
[42:29] think he has rebuilt the team, but obviously he's not going to walk out the
[42:32] obviously he's not going to walk out the front door with the guard of honor and a
[42:33] front door with the guard of honor and a Premier League trophy, is he? He's going
[42:34] Premier League trophy, is he? He's going to walk out, you know, with an FA Cup
[42:36] to walk out, you know, with an FA Cup and a Carab Cup. So, you know, it's an
[42:40] and a Carab Cup. So, you know, it's an opportunity for Manchester United. Um, I
[42:43] opportunity for Manchester United. Um, I tell you what, Sir Alex Ferguson won't
[42:45] tell you what, Sir Alex Ferguson won't walk out second.
[42:48] walk out second. There's no way he'd walk out second. Um,
[42:50] There's no way he'd walk out second. Um, but Sir Alex Ferguson's the greatest
[42:52] but Sir Alex Ferguson's the greatest manager the Premier League's ever had
[42:54] manager the Premier League's ever had and that's not up for debate. It's just
[42:56] and that's not up for debate. It's just modernistic
[42:58] modernistic [ __ ] Um, to try and pretend that he
[43:01] [ __ ] Um, to try and pretend that he isn't. Um he rebuilt a football club
[43:04] isn't. Um he rebuilt a football club from the bottom
[43:06] from the bottom having you know
[43:09] having you know come down from Abedine who are the last
[43:11] come down from Abedine who are the last team to win the Scottish Premiership
[43:14] team to win the Scottish Premiership outside of Celtic and Rangers since
[43:16] outside of Celtic and Rangers since 1984.
[43:17] 1984. Um
[43:21] our biggest problem is trying to get
[43:23] our biggest problem is trying to get back to anything like that. Um,
[43:26] back to anything like that. Um, and I heard somebody saying today that,
[43:28] and I heard somebody saying today that, you know, Man United's aim is still to
[43:31] you know, Man United's aim is still to win the the Premier League in 2028. Now,
[43:34] win the the Premier League in 2028. Now, a lot of you will laugh at that, but if
[43:37] a lot of you will laugh at that, but if our aim is to win the title in Prem in
[43:40] our aim is to win the title in Prem in in 28.
[43:42] in 28. I'm not even going to ridicule it. I'm
[43:44] I'm not even going to ridicule it. I'm going to sit here and say what I said in
[43:46] going to sit here and say what I said in the first five minutes. The opportunity
[43:48] the first five minutes. The opportunity is now. Pep Guardiola is one of the
[43:50] is now. Pep Guardiola is one of the greatest managers the Premier League has
[43:51] greatest managers the Premier League has ever seen and he's the greatest manager
[43:53] ever seen and he's the greatest manager in the Premier League at the moment.
[43:54] in the Premier League at the moment. He's leaving Man City. We know as a
[43:57] He's leaving Man City. We know as a football club what happens when somebody
[43:59] football club what happens when somebody who is your football club leaves. Pep is
[44:02] who is your football club leaves. Pep is Man City.
[44:04] Man City. Not many managers do that. Jurgen Klopp
[44:06] Not many managers do that. Jurgen Klopp did it at Liverpool. Sir Alex did it at
[44:08] did it at Liverpool. Sir Alex did it at Man United. Mourinho did it at Chelsea.
[44:10] Man United. Mourinho did it at Chelsea. Wenger did it at Arsenal. And Pep's done
[44:12] Wenger did it at Arsenal. And Pep's done it at Man City. You are bigger than
[44:15] it at Man City. You are bigger than you're not bigger than the club, but you
[44:16] you're not bigger than the club, but you are the club.
[44:18] are the club. That leaves a void. Next season when
[44:21] That leaves a void. Next season when them Man City players go in and they get
[44:23] them Man City players go in and they get bad results, they'll look to the press
[44:25] bad results, they'll look to the press conference and they won't see Pep
[44:26] conference and they won't see Pep Guardiola, they'll see Enzo Moresco.
[44:29] Guardiola, they'll see Enzo Moresco. That weakens you. There's nothing
[44:30] That weakens you. There's nothing Moresca can do about it. So, Man City
[44:32] Moresca can do about it. So, Man City are vulnerable. Arsenal second season,
[44:36] are vulnerable. Arsenal second season, it's going to be very difficult for them
[44:37] it's going to be very difficult for them because the football they play it's very
[44:39] because the football they play it's very diff it's very mentally taxing and you
[44:41] diff it's very mentally taxing and you don't get no breaks in football.
[44:43] don't get no breaks in football. Liverpool want they want to keep slot.
[44:45] Liverpool want they want to keep slot. Chelsea got Jabby Alonzo. He's got loads
[44:47] Chelsea got Jabby Alonzo. He's got loads of problems. There is a massive
[44:48] of problems. There is a massive opportunity for Manchester United. And
[44:50] opportunity for Manchester United. And if they want to win the league in 2028,
[44:53] if they want to win the league in 2028, I think it's highly unlikely, but we'll
[44:56] I think it's highly unlikely, but we'll look at this summer and go, that was the
[44:57] look at this summer and go, that was the opportunity. If you get this summer
[44:59] opportunity. If you get this summer wrong, you won't get it done. So, look,
[45:02] wrong, you won't get it done. So, look, and and you know what, I think sometimes
[45:04] and and you know what, I think sometimes you walk into a summer transfer window
[45:06] you walk into a summer transfer window and it's difficult. And we demand we
[45:08] and it's difficult. And we demand we demand, we want three midfielders, we
[45:10] demand, we want three midfielders, we want a backup striker, we want a winger,
[45:11] want a backup striker, we want a winger, but there's not really a market. The
[45:14] but there's not really a market. The market's there. Like, the market's
[45:16] market's there. Like, the market's there. I mean, it's not even that
[45:17] there. I mean, it's not even that difficult. I'm I mean, Will Cox and
[45:19] difficult. I'm I mean, Will Cox and Barada will get a lot of credit if we
[45:21] Barada will get a lot of credit if we have a really good summer, and I'll give
[45:22] have a really good summer, and I'll give them credit, but come on. Ellie
[45:24] them credit, but come on. Ellie Anderson, is it really that difficult?
[45:27] Anderson, is it really that difficult? Give Forest 100 million. Give him 250
[45:29] Give Forest 100 million. Give him 250 grand a week. He's available. Tanali, is
[45:31] grand a week. He's available. Tanali, is it really that difficult? Newcastle want
[45:33] it really that difficult? Newcastle want to sell, he wants to go. Bel, is it
[45:35] to sell, he wants to go. Bel, is it really that difficult? Scott, is it
[45:36] really that difficult? Scott, is it really that difficult? Chirini, is it
[45:38] really that difficult? Chirini, is it really that difficult? All these players
[45:40] really that difficult? All these players are there. Yes, it's going to cost you a
[45:43] are there. Yes, it's going to cost you a bit of money and you're going to have to
[45:44] bit of money and you're going to have to negotiate a little bit, but there it's
[45:45] negotiate a little bit, but there it's not like the, you know, sometimes you
[45:47] not like the, you know, sometimes you walk into a transfer market and you need
[45:49] walk into a transfer market and you need a top class striker and there are no
[45:50] a top class striker and there are no strikers available. You can't move for
[45:53] strikers available. You can't move for midfielders that there is such an
[45:56] midfielders that there is such an opportunity for this football club in
[45:58] opportunity for this football club in relation to how it's all happening in
[46:00] relation to how it's all happening in the rest of the Premier League and what
[46:02] the rest of the Premier League and what we need and it's there. If we don't grab
[46:04] we need and it's there. If we don't grab those opportunities, we've only got
[46:06] those opportunities, we've only got ourselves to blame and it'll be the same
[46:08] ourselves to blame and it'll be the same people to blame because it won't be
[46:09] people to blame because it won't be Michael Carrick and it won't be you and
[46:10] Michael Carrick and it won't be you and it won't be the players. This is on the
[46:12] it won't be the players. This is on the board now. You know, this is on the
[46:14] board now. You know, this is on the board. There is a great opportunity. Are
[46:17] board. There is a great opportunity. Are you comp competent enough to grab it?
[46:19] you comp competent enough to grab it? Because I don't want to be here in 5 10
[46:22] Because I don't want to be here in 5 10 years time looking back at this summer
[46:23] years time looking back at this summer and saying that was the summer where
[46:25] and saying that was the summer where they [ __ ] it because it feels like
[46:27] they [ __ ] it because it feels like it's that momentous this summer. It
[46:30] it's that momentous this summer. It feels like this is the opportunity. The
[46:32] feels like this is the opportunity. The summer where Pep left, the summer where
[46:34] summer where Pep left, the summer where Liverpool kept slot, the summer where
[46:36] Liverpool kept slot, the summer where Chelsea had a new manager, the summer
[46:38] Chelsea had a new manager, the summer where we were in the Champions League,
[46:39] where we were in the Champions League, the summer where there was loads of
[46:40] the summer where there was loads of players available. Like, it's such an
[46:42] players available. Like, it's such an opportunity. It's exciting. It's
[46:45] opportunity. It's exciting. It's exciting and I am excited, but the big
[46:49] exciting and I am excited, but the big butt is we know who runs for the club
[46:51] butt is we know who runs for the club and that's that that's the biggest
[46:53] and that's that that's the biggest thing. Elliot Anderson is not about
[46:55] thing. Elliot Anderson is not about whether he chooses Man United. It's
[46:56] whether he chooses Man United. It's about whether we're willing to pay what
[46:58] about whether we're willing to pay what it takes.
[46:59] it takes. And that's the line. Are Man United
[47:02] And that's the line. Are Man United willing to pay what it takes? Because a
[47:05] willing to pay what it takes? Because a football club is about football. For too
[47:08] football club is about football. For too long, Man United's been about business.
[47:11] long, Man United's been about business. And business and football doesn't go
[47:13] And business and football doesn't go together unless you're a good football
[47:15] together unless you're a good football team. You'll make the money off a good
[47:17] team. You'll make the money off a good football team. After 99, we were making
[47:22] football team. After 99, we were making [ __ ] loads of money. Vodafone the
[47:24] [ __ ] loads of money. Vodafone the lot, the promised land, because we were
[47:26] lot, the promised land, because we were successful. You don't make money without
[47:29] successful. You don't make money without being successful on the pitch. And
[47:31] being successful on the pitch. And you're not successful on the pitch
[47:33] you're not successful on the pitch without spending money. I feel like, you
[47:35] without spending money. I feel like, you know, how is nobody saying this in the
[47:37] know, how is nobody saying this in the boardroom at Man United? Um, creating a
[47:40] boardroom at Man United? Um, creating a winner on a plate was what an assist
[47:41] winner on a plate was what an assist was, says Robert McCormack.
[47:45] was, says Robert McCormack. Uh, well, I heard I heard Jamie
[47:47] Uh, well, I heard I heard Jamie Carragher talking about since when were
[47:49] Carragher talking about since when were assists so important.
[47:51] assists so important. I've got to be honest, 20 years ago, no
[47:54] I've got to be honest, 20 years ago, no one used to talk about assists. When I
[47:56] one used to talk about assists. When I used to be playing football, you know,
[47:58] used to be playing football, you know, 30 years ago, if you put the cross in
[48:01] 30 years ago, if you put the cross in and the striker scored, you didn't
[48:03] and the striker scored, you didn't really get any credit at all. Um, I'm I
[48:05] really get any credit at all. Um, I'm I actually like because of the way I
[48:08] actually like because of the way I consume football,
[48:10] consume football, I can see a pass from a center back that
[48:12] I can see a pass from a center back that gets it in for the right back to cross
[48:14] gets it in for the right back to cross it to the striker and I'll go, "What a
[48:16] it to the striker and I'll go, "What a pass by the center back." So, I think
[48:18] pass by the center back." So, I think the evolution of the assist being
[48:20] the evolution of the assist being appreciated is actually a good thing. I
[48:22] appreciated is actually a good thing. I don't think it's data Dean. Yeah, I I
[48:24] don't think it's data Dean. Yeah, I I think it's great. Um, but there was a
[48:27] think it's great. Um, but there was a time where getting assist wasn't even,
[48:30] time where getting assist wasn't even, you know, wasn't even valued. Um,
[48:34] you know, wasn't even valued. Um, but look,
[48:36] but look, the fact that we're all um focused on
[48:38] the fact that we're all um focused on Bruno Fernandez getting an assist record
[48:40] Bruno Fernandez getting an assist record tells you that we're not winning
[48:42] tells you that we're not winning trophies. I'd like Bruno to be getting
[48:44] trophies. I'd like Bruno to be getting the assist record whilst winning the
[48:45] the assist record whilst winning the Premier League. And I think that's what
[48:47] Premier League. And I think that's what we need to aspire to. And I think that's
[48:49] we need to aspire to. And I think that's what Bruno wants to aspire to. So, let's
[48:51] what Bruno wants to aspire to. So, let's see if we can provide that platform this
[48:53] see if we can provide that platform this summer. But there's nothing wrong with
[48:54] summer. But there's nothing wrong with demanding better. Morning, Mark. Nice
[48:56] demanding better. Morning, Mark. Nice got relegated, Inos out. I don't think
[48:58] got relegated, Inos out. I don't think they have been relegated. They're third
[49:00] they have been relegated. They're third from bottom and they get to play a
[49:04] from bottom and they get to play a playoff. Um
[49:06] playoff. Um um
[49:09] um there's I mean look it's not really
[49:11] there's I mean look it's not really being reported in the UK but um Nice
[49:15] being reported in the UK but um Nice ultras stormed the pitch in ugly scenes
[49:17] ultras stormed the pitch in ugly scenes after Inos own side are condemned to
[49:19] after Inos own side are condemned to League One relegation playoff. Um Nice
[49:22] League One relegation playoff. Um Nice fans direct fury at owners as club fall
[49:24] fans direct fury at owners as club fall into League One relegation playoff. So,
[49:26] into League One relegation playoff. So, they finished third from bottom and uh
[49:29] they finished third from bottom and uh they now have to play a playoff uh with
[49:31] they now have to play a playoff uh with the third place team in League uh one.
[49:33] the third place team in League uh one. But we're we're getting no reports of
[49:36] But we're we're getting no reports of this. This, you know, this is not even
[49:38] this. This, you know, this is not even hitting the UK that Inos owned Nice
[49:42] hitting the UK that Inos owned Nice Nice, who shouldn't be anywhere near
[49:43] Nice, who shouldn't be anywhere near relegation, are in a relegation playoff.
[49:46] relegation, are in a relegation playoff. It's,
[49:47] It's, you know, this is what I was talking
[49:48] you know, this is what I was talking about this summer. They are ridiculously
[49:51] about this summer. They are ridiculously incompetent in at running football
[49:52] incompetent in at running football clubs.
[49:55] clubs. Which way is it going to go with United?
[49:57] Which way is it going to go with United? We need Michael Carrick as our manager.
[49:59] We need Michael Carrick as our manager. Otherwise, all this that we've seen
[50:00] Otherwise, all this that we've seen under Michael Carrick will just go back
[50:02] under Michael Carrick will just go back to what we saw before. Michael Carrick
[50:03] to what we saw before. Michael Carrick says Tom. Um, two midfielders if it's
[50:06] says Tom. Um, two midfielders if it's Anderson and Tanali, says Old Trafford.
[50:08] Anderson and Tanali, says Old Trafford. I still think we need three. Robert
[50:09] I still think we need three. Robert McCormack says Roy Keane Wright was
[50:11] McCormack says Roy Keane Wright was winding me up putting himself before the
[50:13] winding me up putting himself before the team and and an assist has different
[50:15] team and and an assist has different meaning now and no one cared back then,
[50:17] meaning now and no one cared back then, says Robert McCormack. Um,
[50:20] says Robert McCormack. Um, yeah. Look, I my only defense of Keen is
[50:23] yeah. Look, I my only defense of Keen is that he used to do this at 25 with the
[50:25] that he used to do this at 25 with the captain's armband. Like, and and it
[50:28] captain's armband. Like, and and it annoys me that people saying, "Oh, he's
[50:30] annoys me that people saying, "Oh, he's just a bitter ex-pro because that just
[50:32] just a bitter ex-pro because that just shows that you don't know your history
[50:34] shows that you don't know your history at Man United." Like, he used to come
[50:36] at Man United." Like, he used to come out and do interviews at 25 slagging off
[50:39] out and do interviews at 25 slagging off his own team and his own board for not
[50:41] his own team and his own board for not having the standards he felt was needed
[50:43] having the standards he felt was needed because we were not getting knocked out
[50:44] because we were not getting knocked out the Champions League again. He's always
[50:46] the Champions League again. He's always had that.
[50:48] had that. You don't have to like what he says, but
[50:49] You don't have to like what he says, but you you can't say, "Oh, it's just a
[50:51] you you can't say, "Oh, it's just a bitter ex player because he always used
[50:53] bitter ex player because he always used to do it." You know, know your history.
[50:56] to do it." You know, know your history. I think let's judge what happens next
[50:58] I think let's judge what happens next season because,
[51:01] season because, you know, are we a team of individuals
[51:03] you know, are we a team of individuals light switch players or are we actually
[51:04] light switch players or are we actually a team? That's the challenge. And um
[51:08] a team? That's the challenge. And um criticism is never a bad thing when
[51:09] criticism is never a bad thing when you're not achieving what you need to
[51:11] you're not achieving what you need to achieve. I mean, are we all meant to
[51:12] achieve. I mean, are we all meant to just celebrate third place and an assist
[51:14] just celebrate third place and an assist record? I mean, you know, we know what
[51:16] record? I mean, you know, we know what these players are like. They're on
[51:17] these players are like. They're on Instagram straight away. If they see
[51:19] Instagram straight away. If they see everybody going, "Oh, yeah. Just Yeah.
[51:21] everybody going, "Oh, yeah. Just Yeah. Yeah. We need to keep them on their
[51:23] Yeah. We need to keep them on their toes." I do agree with that. They need
[51:25] toes." I do agree with that. They need they need they need a rocket up the ass.
[51:27] they need they need a rocket up the ass. Third place and assist record isn't
[51:28] Third place and assist record isn't success. We need to win Premier League
[51:31] success. We need to win Premier League titles. We need to win Champions

[53:26] 2026. I don't think you can keep anything quiet. Um I really don't. Which
[53:29] anything quiet. Um I really don't. Which is why I don't think Man United spoke to
[53:31] is why I don't think Man United spoke to any other managers. Um, and it's why I
[53:35] any other managers. Um, and it's why I don't think Elliot Anderson's definitely
[53:36] don't think Elliot Anderson's definitely going to Man City because I think we
[53:38] going to Man City because I think we would know. Um, yeah. Um,
[53:44] just on Robert McCormack, by the way,
[53:46] just on Robert McCormack, by the way, you know, Declan Rice can't get assists.
[53:51] So, should Declan Rice win player of the
[53:53] So, should Declan Rice win player of the year over Bruno Fernandez? Because
[53:55] year over Bruno Fernandez? Because Declan Rice will never score as many
[53:57] Declan Rice will never score as many goals and get as many assists as Bruno.
[53:59] goals and get as many assists as Bruno. Bruno is not winning player of the year
[54:00] Bruno is not winning player of the year for the assists. the the person who wins
[54:03] for the assists. the the person who wins player of the year should be the
[54:05] player of the year should be the individual player who has the biggest
[54:07] individual player who has the biggest impact on their team across a season. So
[54:10] impact on their team across a season. So Declan Rice winning the Premier League
[54:11] Declan Rice winning the Premier League is a big achievement,
[54:14] is a big achievement, but Bruno Fernandez has taken a team
[54:16] but Bruno Fernandez has taken a team that I think would be eighth to third on
[54:20] that I think would be eighth to third on his individual performances. So it's not
[54:23] his individual performances. So it's not he's not, you know, Declan Rice can't
[54:25] he's not, you know, Declan Rice can't get assists. So Bruno's not getting the
[54:27] get assists. So Bruno's not getting the the player of the year because of the
[54:29] the player of the year because of the assists. I think some Arsenal fans are
[54:30] assists. I think some Arsenal fans are misinterpreting this. The player of the
[54:32] misinterpreting this. The player of the year should be the player that has the
[54:34] year should be the player that has the biggest individual impact on their team.
[54:36] biggest individual impact on their team. Well, Arsenal have got people like
[54:37] Well, Arsenal have got people like Gabrielle, Celiba, Reya. You know,
[54:39] Gabrielle, Celiba, Reya. You know, there's a lot of contributors to
[54:41] there's a lot of contributors to Arsenal's title. At Man United,
[54:45] Arsenal's title. At Man United, I'd say I'd say 70 75% of our season is
[54:49] I'd say I'd say 70 75% of our season is based around Bruno. I don't think 75% of
[54:51] based around Bruno. I don't think 75% of Arsenal season is based around Declan
[54:53] Arsenal season is based around Declan Rice. So if you had a player that played
[54:56] Rice. So if you had a player that played for leads that scored 30 Premier League
[54:58] for leads that scored 30 Premier League goals and they stayed up because of
[55:01] goals and they stayed up because of those goals, I'd say they they're player
[55:02] those goals, I'd say they they're player of the year. That's my interpretation of
[55:05] of the year. That's my interpretation of player of the year. It's the player who
[55:06] player of the year. It's the player who has the biggest individual impact on a
[55:09] has the biggest individual impact on a team. It's why David De Gea used to win
[55:11] team. It's why David De Gea used to win player of the year a lot at Man United.
[55:13] player of the year a lot at Man United. You know, we'd probably finish like
[55:14] You know, we'd probably finish like seventh or eighth and De Gea would get
[55:16] seventh or eighth and De Gea would get player of the year because across the
[55:17] player of the year because across the season he'd bloody save us so many
[55:19] season he'd bloody save us so many times. That's why Bruno's winning player
[55:21] times. That's why Bruno's winning player of the year. It's not just because of
[55:23] of the year. It's not just because of assists. Um, Stuart says, "That's
[55:26] assists. Um, Stuart says, "That's absolute bollocks, Mark." Yeah, would it
[55:27] absolute bollocks, Mark." Yeah, would it be useful, Stuart, if you actually gave
[55:29] be useful, Stuart, if you actually gave an alternative because when people say
[55:30] an alternative because when people say that's absolute bollocks, Mark, I think
[55:32] that's absolute bollocks, Mark, I think yes, I've won because you can't give a a
[55:35] yes, I've won because you can't give a a response. So, I'll take that as a win.
[55:37] response. So, I'll take that as a win. Um, thank you everybody for watching.

Summary

TL;DR — The departure of Pep Guardiola from Manchester City presents a golden opportunity for Manchester United to sign highly-rated midfielder Elliot Anderson, as City's future becomes uncertain. Additionally, reports suggest Manchester United previously approached Luis Enrique for the managerial role, but ultimately appointed Michael Carrick, raising questions about the club's decision-making process.

Key points

• Pep Guardiola's exit from Manchester City creates a significant void and potential instability, making Manchester United a more attractive destination for Elliot Anderson.

• Manchester United reportedly made an approach for Luis Enrique in January/February, but he is staying at PSG, leading to questions about the subsequent appointment of Michael Carrick.

• The financial aspects of signing Elliot Anderson are deemed manageable, with the primary hurdle being the club's willingness to meet his wage and transfer demands.

• Roy Keane criticized Manchester United's reaction to Bruno Fernandes' assist record, deeming it a 'circus act' and not conducive to winning trophies.

• The club's board is under scrutiny for its perceived incompetence and slow decision-making, particularly regarding potential signings and managerial appointments.

• The summer transfer window is highlighted as a crucial period for Manchester United to capitalize on rivals' vulnerabilities and rebuild the squad.

Takeaway — Manchester United must seize the current opportune moment, driven by City's instability and Guardiola's departure, to secure key signings like Elliot Anderson and demonstrate ambition to return to winning ways.
