A special bonus episode as Manchester United announce their new £2bn, 100,000-seater stadium, the day after Sir Jim Ratcliffe said they were on track to be bust by Christmas!

So, how on earth are the club going to afford it? And were they really going bust? We ask Professor of Football Finance at the University of Liverpool, Kieran Maguire.

And we hear thoughts on the design and whether the five-year timescale is feasible from Marcel Ridyard, Associate Director at Manchester-based architects AFL, who built the stadium for the Qatar World Cup final and the Etihad, joins us.

Plus, Mark and Gabby give their thoughts on getting rid of Old Trafford and the big interview with Sir Jim Ratcliffe that's been making the headlines.
