Talk of the Devils: The Athletic FC's Manchester United show

Ian Irving hosts The Athletic's podcast dedicated to Manchester United with regular contributor Andy Mitten, club correspondent Laurie Whitwell, and football writer Carl Anka.

It looks very likely United will sign Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia after the club outbid Lyon for the Dutch international. Will Frenkie de Jong join his compatriot? We're running out of different phrases for a very slow-moving situation.

And, is this the year we finally turn the corner when it comes to selling players at the right time, adding funds to the transfer kitty? Maybe we should employ the malt-loaf marketing board...

MUFC CEO Richard Arnold saw off a potential protest at his home by intercepting fans in his local club. We react to the ensuing conversation and the debate amongst fans about how best to make their feelings clear to the owners.

And, of course, we take a look at potential transfers with the help of Carl's "Shopping for Ten Hag" columns. It's early in "the disco" but Andy Mitten isn't sitting on his hands, he's out there selling Manchester to Holland's finest.

It's the last day of term and we're all hugely relieved to be bidding farewell to the worst season in our Premier League history. Erik Ten Hag's arrival has us all feeling positive about the future, too, as we answer your burning questions.

And there's warmth in our hearts, as well, with Kath Phipps recognised by the LMA this week and memories of a fun year's podcasting.

Incoming United manager Erik Ten Hag gave his first press conference at Old Trafford on Monday lunchtime and, while he didn't say a great deal, it gave us an excuse to largely ignore yesterday's match at Crystal Palace.

With Ian and Laurie in the bowels of the stadium and Andy in a busy airport, we kept things as short and sweet as a stroopwafel, but we did find time to get a sneak peek into Laurie's interview with Juan Mata, with the spaniard's departure from the club yet to be confirmed.

A 4-0 defeat at Brighton may not have been the worst result of the season but it ensured the club's worst season since the inaugural Premier League. Have the horror shows damaged the club's reputation?

One consolation has been the performances of the academy and, with almost 60k expected at Old Trafford for the FA Youth Cup Final on Wednesday, we look at improvements made in that department.
