The Promised Land | A Manchester United Podcast

Arsenal are showing signs of "bottling it" after losing at Wolves...there's a North London derby at the weekend....United can't, can they? Well, no, but United are closer than they've been in a long time and Scott Saunders looks at how far away Man Utd are from challenging for the title again - possibly as early as next season.

Scott also talks JJ Gabriel after he starred for the Under-18s, and looks at the latest speculation and noise around Marcus Rashford, who United have a deal to potentially sell to Barcelona.

With Thomas Tuchel extending his contract with England and Carlo Ancelotti set to stay with Brazil for another four years, Manchester United's list of options to be the next head coach has shrunk.

Scott Saunders ponders Michael Carrick's chance of getting the job full time, the remaining candidates who are left, damage to reputations of other coaches in the race (Roberto De Zerbi was sacked this week) and what United's best course of action is given the restructuring done in recent years.

Scott Saunders marvels at his goal but mulls over a performance which was not as good as recent outings. Scott digs into comments from Nicky Butt in the post match and analyses the weak areas which United still have on display - even while things are moving in the right direction.
