Three goals and three points on the road for Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United alleviates fast-building pressure at the first possible opportunity after the international break. Was that a truly impressive performance or just a slight improvement on what came before, or was it even the same as previously seen, only again a lesser opposition? That’s the key big-picture question to answer on the latest episode of the Manchester United Weekly Podcast, as well as discussing the individual performances of goalscorer Marcus Rashford and goalmakers Joshua Zirkzee and Amad.
Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait chat through all of those things and much more, including a five-star victory for the U18s and questions from our ever-supportive Patrons. Plus, we play Guess the Player and our man on the ground Ivan attends the United Legends match to chat to Anders Lindegaard, Phil Bardsley and Danny Simpson.

Hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait react to Manchester United's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool, debating Erik ten Hag's future, and that of midfielder Casemiro.
This game was previewed as the clashing of a new Dutch force in English football, Arne Slot of Liverpool, against a stalling one, one that’s hinted at getting going but never ridden smoothly. Erik ten Hag’s United project, given a lifeline with that magical May day at Wembley when the FA Cup carried the scarlet ribbons of MUFC, is under the most intense scrutiny again. Because this was all too familiar: an open midfield, a blunt attack, a humiliating defeat to a rival. There’s plenty to dissect.
As well as talking Liverpool, they'll compete at Guess the Player, give you an extensive Academy Briefing with a new coach, contract, signing and several loan moves to tell you about and wins for the U18s and U21s and we’ll answer questions from our Patrons in a 15-minute bonus section for them.

Two and a half months since euphoria at Wembley, we head back under the arch. The same opponents again. A Manchester derby. Not quite a heavyweight rematch.

There's also unrivalled insight into the new crop of Academy players entering U18s football this year and our Patrons get a bonus Q&A with plenty more topics to debate.

Harry Robinson has good news... the Manchester United Weekly Podcast is returning for a tenth series, coming very soon. Listen to find out what to expect from the first two episodes.
While we wait for the start of Series 10, Harry reads an extract from his book The Men Who Made Manchester United, released last autumn. You can hear the introduction, prologue and first chapter as a taster.
Gary Neville calls it "a great background spanning almost a hundred years on the men who made everything that followed possible. A must-read for any Manchester United fan."
"At a time when money is king in football, this is an important insight into just how humble the beginnings of Manchester United were. These are human football stories but they also provide a slice of Manchester’s social history," says John Murray, BBC Football Correspondent.
Andy Mitten labels it "a fine book with incredible attention to detail as Robinson unearths and examines long-forgotten United stories."
Michael Crick says: "Harry Robinson's new book on the first 70 years of Manchester United is just brilliant... one of the best in the 1000 United books on my shelves. Robinson hasn't just done loads of painstaking research, with sparkling new details, he's also a great storyteller. It just flows from page to page."
