Darren Fletcher hosts the Friday Football Social with Glenn Murray, Kevin Nolan and Clinton Morrison. They debate the Football Association's decision to scrap FA Cup replays, hearing from Coventry City boss Mark Robins ahead of playing Manchester United in Sunday's semi-final. The podcast also discusses whether there is a worthwhile alternative to take over from Erik Ten Hag at the Old Trafford club at the end of the season, should he be replaced, amid the news that Southampton say they have "reluctantly agreed" to let director of football Jason Wilcox join Manchester United. The panel then continues to look ahead to this weekend's football, looking at the Premier League title race, as well as Manchester City's most immediate task of their FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.
