To celebrate our first 50 episodes of the UTD Podcast we're marking the occasion by bringing you our best clips from the first year.

From Paul Scholes to Paul Pogba, we've had some of the biggest names in the club's history tell their story; Eric Cantona told us the meaning of life, Robin van Persie revealed his humility before arriving at Old Trafford, and Patrice Evra's life story was so epic it reduced our presenters to tears.

Helen Evans, Sam Homewood and David May look back on their favourite moments from the Pod's debut season. And as always, they read out some of your emails at the end of the episode.

Phil Neville joins the UTD Podcast this week to look back on his eventful career both at Manchester United and Everton.
