Introduction and Ipswich Game Reflection
00:00:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the daily Manchester United podcast, the podcast for fans of the greatest and best club in the world. Maybe not the best team in the world right now, but what can you do?
00:00:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
i'm You're here with me, Matt. And once again, I'm joined by the illustrious Dan, who did a fantastic job breaking down the Ipswich game yesterday with Kieran. And if you haven't listened to that, what are you doing?
00:00:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go back and have a listen. But, but after you finished tuning into today's excellent show. So Dan, how's it going?
00:00:46
Daniel
Yeah, I'm all good, I'm all good, yourself.
00:00:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I'm not too bad. And just before we came on, I did make it clear. I was very unhappy after the Ipswich game. And before I kind of maybe go into a little rant myself and introduce today's topic, I just want to know what are your thoughts and feelings?
00:01:05
Daniel
um On the game as a whole, I think, just like me, I wasn't happy with the result. I probably wanted us to win now, so in case you know who we can try to clear the gap a bit on one of the teams above us. but Obviously that wasn't the case and ah the way the game went, I think it probably deserved a point because they were the better side during the latter stages of the first half and some parts of the second half as well. So I think they kind of did deserve a point. But it's early days for Amarin and I think it's going to take a while for that. we're not We ain't got the best players in my personal opinion. It's going to take a while for them to try and learn a new system. So yeah.
Manager Amorim's Impact: Critique and Humor
00:01:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I mean, for me, I'll just make it clear. I've got no problems with hammering. I'm not even going to come here. It's late and we'll say he did anything wrong in that game. Again, for me, I just thought what a disgrace those players were for a new manager coming in to give that kind of performance. It was shameful. And, you know, we've got loads of chats about 10 hard and what happened and you know the players from me have always been the issue. And I think usually we get this new manager bounce and they hide it and you know we go on a bit of a run and then later down the line we see it, but they showed their colours in that Ipswich game. Leopards don't change their spots and I'm fuming and I feel bad for Amorim. There was something weird as well when they scored, the Rashford scored and you saw Amorim, he didn't celebrate. And I thought, why is he not celebrating?
00:02:29
Daniel
And.
00:02:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
And by the end of the game, I thought, maybe because he knew what this team is capable of, maybe even in the training and he's the footage, he's going, oh, I don't think that goal was part of my system or my style.
00:02:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
That was just probably Ahmad just doing bits and just, you know, he made that goal.
00:02:46
Daniel
No.
00:02:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Probably thinking in this team, he's watched the footage, he knows what's capable of them and, you know, what these players can do. And I'll tell you what, that was rubbish. And Dan, I don't know if you know this, but we just received an email from INEOS actually um saying that they wanted us two idiots to basically
00:03:03
Daniel
well yeah yeah
00:03:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
rework this entire squad today. So of course that's not true, but I wish it was. So we're going to be the advisors to Ineos and Ruben our room. You know, we're going to let him know how not to make the same mistakes as previous managers.
Player Evaluations: Goalkeepers and Defenders
00:03:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we're going to do a bit of a fun thing today. And we're going to go for the United squad, have a bit of a clear out. We're going to do a keep sell or loan. How's that sound?
00:03:33
Daniel
Yeah, that's all great, that's all great
00:03:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
nice one nice one hopefully you guys at home this will be a bit of a therapy session if you agree with us let us know if you don't let us know as well we could take it we've all got mixed emotions about this so we're going to crack into it and probably you know what this is probably going to be the easiest bit the goalkeeping department so Let's just go through them. We'll go through the um go through the main man first. We'll go through the ah the other two who are part of the department. Let's go for Altai buying the watch your thoughts and feelings. Keep cell loan.
00:04:07
Daniel
Honestly, for me, I'm with football, back-up goalkeepers and all that stuff. If if if he's if he's happy being a back-up, I've not really watched much of him for many a night.
00:04:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah.
00:04:16
Daniel
He's not really played that many games, but when he's played, he looks all right, so I don't mind him staying as a back-up.
00:04:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no, I completely agree. And I was, you know, the next one is Tom Heaton.
00:04:26
Daniel
Yeah, I think he's good for the the dressing room and all that stuff. I've always seen he's been here for a long time. So I can now keep him if it's just if it's just the third keep or just, you know, just to be that just remove the guy.
00:04:37
Daniel
I don't mind I'm staying.
00:04:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, 100%. I think both of them keep it. I think the goalkeeping department's just, it's very peaceful. You know, we don't get too much noise from it.
00:04:43
Daniel
Yeah.
00:04:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
It seems to be quite healthy. You're right though. We don't see much of buying there, but We believe he's a good enough coming keeper, you know, so we're happy with that.
00:04:52
Daniel
Yeah.
00:04:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
And that's, you know, it's going to be an easy one now. Maybe it wouldn't have been last year, but Andre Arnana.
00:05:02
Daniel
I've always been handled, even when he was trackling, I thought he was a decent goalkeeper, but I saw him at Inter the year before, and I thought he was a very good goalkeeper, but I just feel like he had a very like rough patch to start last season, and obviously he got us knocked out in the Champions League, but this season he's shown his class, and I think he's been one of the best keepers in the world, so I'll defer to him.
00:05:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, one of the best keepers in the world. You know what? Sure, why not? We should have one of the best keepers in the world. But I completely agree. He's been a revelation this season.
00:05:29
Daniel
Yeah.
00:05:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
The amount of, well, it's like multiple saves, back-to-back saves he's but he's been pull pulling off. And I mean, that hip switch game, we should have lost.
00:05:36
Daniel
Yeah. Literally.
00:05:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
It wasn't for him. So, yeah, I mean, it's brilliant that he's finding a bit of form. And, you know, I think, yeah, he's got the most clean sheets in the league at the moment.
00:05:46
Daniel
Yeah.
00:05:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's like great he's got that. That's fantastic.
00:05:47
Daniel
Yeah.
00:05:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
But he isn't facing as many shots as last year as well, which is definitely a plus.
00:05:50
Daniel
That's another thing as well.
00:05:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, for sure. So that was really easy. You know, that's great. So all our keepers will keep them.
00:05:57
Daniel
Yeah.
00:05:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
and That was going to get more interesting.
00:06:00
Daniel
yeah
00:06:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
In the defenders, Victor Lindelof, the ice man.
00:06:05
Daniel
absolutely absolutely so i don't and I don't sometimes I forget that he still plays for Manchester 9 at times what he' when he's been sneaking ah of a living at this club for a good three years not i now I don't know how he's still here he should be he should have been gone a long time ago
00:06:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, I feel
00:06:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah've I've got to agree with you. I mean, I did like him, though. He's got tidy feet, terrible in the air. You know, I always felt sometimes he could have probably put him in midfield a couple of games, you know, he's that tidy.
00:06:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
But, yeah, again, he's one of those players who's just kind of disappeared and he's just getting a paycheck, you know?
00:06:37
Daniel
Yeah, literally.
00:06:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
So... I agree, mate. Sell very easy. We're agreeing on all of these. This is this is good.
00:06:43
Daniel
so
00:06:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
This will be very easy as well. Maserati.
00:06:49
Daniel
Absolutely. He's been a revelation for Manchester United, I think, since he's come in. this i've I've not seen a sign like this in a long time, maybe since, like, brilliant Fernandez, where he's come in and he's instant impacted.
00:06:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
one Michelle.
00:07:01
Daniel
He's just just been great. I would keep him personally.
00:07:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah yeah Again, I can't can't disagree. I think he's been the most solid player, Baro Nana, for us.
00:07:11
Daniel
Yeah, definitely.
00:07:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
i mean He hasn't chipped in with many assists or goals or anything, but his work rate is just positioning his defence efficiency absolutely 7 out of 10 every single game.
00:07:14
Daniel
Yeah.
00:07:16
Daniel
With consistency levels, yeah.
00:07:21
Daniel
Literally.
00:07:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
and For that that price, what an absolute steal. 100 per cent, probably very easy. again Another new signing, Matias De Lit.
00:07:33
Daniel
See, I would keep obviously because he's a new. However, I'm not too fond of i'm not too fond of him where, yeah,
00:07:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh. Oh, really? Go on. Explain it.
00:07:41
Daniel
I'm just not the biggest fan of him, I think.
00:07:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:44
Daniel
I personally think there's a reason why he's bounced around a lot of different teams. Gone from UVA, he's gone to Miami, he's gone to... And obviously there are big teams that he's going to, however, I feel like there's a reason why he can never just simply defy himself or a team because, unfortunately, I don't think he's that good anymore.
00:07:58
Daniel
I think when he was 19, I actually first came onto the scene, I think he was very good, but he just hasn't shown the same consistency level. Even at United, I think the season, there's times where I watch him, He's overzealous, like he's trying to show that he's a great defender at times when he's just diving in and stuff like that. But maybe able the that's why i'm so I'm still a bit on the fence with him. So maybe a bit, as of now, I'll probably keep. But if if he continues you know with the inconsistency levels that he's had at all the different clubs he has, then obviously I'll get to the point where I want to sell.
00:08:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
So do you do you feel like he's being inconsistent for us? Because I feel like he's getting his feet firmly planted now.
00:08:31
Daniel
I don't think he's been...
00:08:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's doing all right.
00:08:34
Daniel
I don't think he's been inconsistent for us. However, as I'm just saying that in the in the basis of how his career has gone, I can tell that do you know he's never really had a a top club, he's never really solidified himself.
00:08:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:08:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sure.
00:08:44
Daniel
Even at ten times where UVA didn't really have the best of defenders or even times where last season Bayern Munich, where other defenders Tottenham defenders that will be laughing at when it comes to Bayern Munich and i starting over and stuff like that.
00:08:58
Daniel
so
00:08:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Dan, you're breaking me up because I've always wanted to see the letter, you know. So I'm buzzing these here. I'm liking what I'm seeing. I know what you're saying, but...
00:09:08
Daniel
yeah Yeah.
00:09:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nah, this guy's good. This is going to be the club. He's going to prove you wrong.
00:09:14
Daniel
I hope... I mean, I'm United Friends, so I hope so.
00:09:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
I swear. I swear. Yeah, I think we all do. OK, but you're a keep.
00:09:20
Daniel
Yeah, I'll find...
00:09:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
So fun.
00:09:21
Daniel
As of now, yeah, keep.
00:09:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
As for now, OK, well, I'm 100 percent keep. I love this guy.
00:09:24
Daniel
Yeah.
00:09:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he's going to be brilliant for us. Just just let's just give him a bit more time.
00:09:29
Daniel
Yeah.
00:09:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, I was going to go. Let's go to an easy one before I go to a fun one because we'll do an ad break. So let's do the Sandra Martinez.
00:09:41
Daniel
As for now, he keeps these injuries. If these injuries keep nagging him over that, then they're going to get to a point where he might have to go. But as of right now, he's a solo player you to keep you, and I think he will work well in that left-center-back position.
00:09:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think it's like, what is it with all these aggressive, like, centre backs, where you have to just get injured, you know?
00:09:59
Daniel
so That's all. Yeah.
00:10:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
We love them, but then they just kept getting broken, but... I love my team that is like, I think his first season, him and Casamiro were an absolute revelation.
00:10:05
Daniel
Yeah.
00:10:09
Daniel
yeah
00:10:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
And when he's fit, I think he is one of the best centre backs in the world, I'll be honest with you.
00:10:15
Daniel
Yeah, so good.
00:10:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Again, another tidy player with his feet, you know, he might not be too tall, but positionally brilliant, so aggressive.
00:10:19
Daniel
Yeah.
00:10:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
I love his attitude, you know. So, I agree with you, yeah. If you can keep fit, let's keep him.

00:10:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
But in terms of advising Arim, that's your boy.
00:10:29
Daniel
Yeah.
00:10:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Definitely put him in your back free. OK, so I'm going to go to an ad break now and we will be back to continue. and Well, kind of been in hopefully some of the squad, but we'll see.

Global Sports Podcast Network
Welcome back and we're going to go right into it because I know if it's going to take a bit of time and we don't want to go too long into it. Well, here's a fun one. Harry McGuire.
00:11:33
Daniel
you i'm a i'm i'm I'm a good fan of Harry Maguire. I think he's a solid centre-back.
00:11:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Don't order me garbage.
00:11:41
Daniel
I think he's very over-hated. feel like in this free-back system as well, what we've seen for England, he's very he's very good on his plays in the free-back and I think he would suit his free-back system. He's good at passing through the a very solid centre-back.
00:11:54
Daniel
Even this season, I think it's been quite he's been quite solid as well.
00:11:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
I completely disagree. I think we've seen another player stealing a living. I think, you know, he's got no pace. He's got a turning circle of attractor. You know, the fact is last season or season before, we were watching 15 to 20 minute YouTube videos of his blunders.
00:12:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know, I'm sorry, that is not United quality. And I just think when we've got Yoro Delet, Martinez,
00:12:18
Daniel
am
00:12:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe he's a backup because we're desperate, but I feel like he needs to be moved on, mate. I really do.
00:12:29
Daniel
that's understandable but I personally am actually a big fan of him I think his aerial presence and his ability to play through lines and I feel like in a free bet system I feel like it was very suited towards his game and
00:12:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right.
00:12:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
We will see. We will see. But I'm going to have to disagree now. So, OK, we have got to disagree here. So you keep him. I would absolutely put him in the bin. And I'm sure there's many fans who agree with either one of us on Harry Maguire.
00:12:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know Ollie loves Harry Maguire. So, you know, if you ever get to chat with him, you know, check his bank statements.
00:12:57
Daniel
fifty
00:12:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm pretty sure he's on his payroll, but he does love Maguire.
00:13:00
Daniel
this
00:13:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
All right, we'll move on. and Disagreement on that one. Tyrell Milassia.
00:13:07
Daniel
I haven't seen enough of them so I would stay and keep them but if And as just like Lissandra and all of them, if he stays fit, then I guess keep him. Because when he wast when he was playing and he was you know he was all right, I didn't think it was you know a world beat or anything, but I think he was all right. So how do you keep him, you know?
00:13:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I would probably maybe put him alone maybe just to get him back in the swing of things, just because he's been been out for so long. But I think he's he's one worth keeping. And I think he still has potential providing you know injuries don't come back.
00:13:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
you know Yeah.
00:13:39
Daniel
No.
00:13:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
OK. Another new signing. Probably very easy. Quick one, I hope. Lenny Yoro.
00:13:46
Daniel
absolute cute my fingers are best on the back i don't even need to watch them play i already know he's our best on the back but vi yeah absolutely absolute absolute cute yeah yeah so
00:13:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Already. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, uh, as they say, generational talent, we want to see him though. That's what we want. once We do want to see him even though you're already certain we want to see him, but yeah, he's easy, easy, easy.
00:14:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, maybe an interesting one. yogo dalo Okay. Yeah.
00:14:11
Daniel
i just I just don't see where he fits in in the system.
00:14:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go on.
00:14:13
Daniel
If he wants to be playing consistent football, I just don't um i don't think he starts over Missouri at this point in time.
00:14:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:14:19
Daniel
and He doesn't look too comfortable playing on the left side of the system. so if If he wants to be a consistent starter, then I would sell him.
00:14:29
Daniel
I don't even think him being a backup makes sense. I would personally sell him.
00:14:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
i can I can kind of understand what you're saying. and yeah It all makes sense. I'd probably keep him as a backup at the moment. I agree with you, I think Maserari is the first choice, but Dallow last season, he was great.
00:14:46
Daniel
Yeah.
00:14:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
you know He's not really had the greatest season so far this year. but He works hard, keeps himself to self, don't complain. I think we do need players like that.
00:14:57
Daniel
Yeah.
00:14:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I see what he's saying. I wouldn't be surprised that we sold him. That's fine. But if we kept him, I would have him harber tavin there for sure.
00:15:08
Daniel
Yeah.
00:15:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm saying of a Shaw, Luke Shaw.
00:15:11
Daniel
see
00:15:14
Daniel
ability, whereas Luke saw as one of the best left backs in the Premier League. However, far his consistency with being injured.
00:15:24
Daniel
At the end of the season, I feel like he has to go. If he can't transition into that left centre-back type of role where maybe he's not having to run as much and go up and down and he just stays as a left centre-back neighbor,
00:15:35
Daniel
just like how he came on against Ipswich and he looked pretty solid, he helped. When he came on, I feel like it helped stop Amaya Hutchinson, you know, being as dangerous as he was.
00:15:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:43
Daniel
So if he can stay as a left-handed back, you know, just not get injured as much, then I would definitely keep him, because I think he's got bags of ability in there, but the injury issues is what concerns me, and I probably sell him just on the basis of his injury concerns.
00:15:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think he's a joker, mate.
00:16:00
Daniel
Yeah.
00:16:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
I am done with this guy. um I think, yeah, as a left-sided centre-back, there is a role for him. As a wing-back, I think he flatters to deceive. I think he's actually better defensively one-on-one than he is going forward, and if you watch a lot, you know, you have watched a lot, he likes to pass back.
00:16:19
Daniel
Yeah.
00:16:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
He has a lot of passes, but he passes back. I mean, the fact that he's just turned up after the manager's been sacked, after being injured since um the Euros or whatever, which he shouldn't have played in.
00:16:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know, he hadn't played previously. He goes there and then he injures himself. I find his motivations weird. And I'm not trying to talk about football. Sometimes I think you've got to care about the respect for your club and the badge.
00:16:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't think he respects it.
00:16:49
Daniel
Mm-hmm.
00:16:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
So for me, regardless of, well, you know, good Luke Shaw is a great player to have. I think he needs out. I think there were a few plays in this squad where you're just saying there needs to be a clear out just for the health of the squad and some, you know, bring some new blood in, but I completely understand what you're saying.
00:17:01
Daniel
Yeah.
00:17:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I think we're agreeing on selling probably for different reasons, but yeah, I think Luke Shaw's time is up.
00:17:05
Daniel
Yeah.
00:17:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Thankfully.
00:17:14
Daniel
sentences
00:17:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Right. I know its a go oh so many players actually. Right. We'll do these two together. So we've got Johnny Evans and Harry Amas. What are your thoughts?
00:17:23
Daniel
I'll probably send out my son Ryan and Johnny Evans again, maybe he could transition into a coaching role. I think that he should be probably retiring after the season. I don't think he should still be playing football at the highest level for Manchester United, but he's been solid when he's playing, but I think it's time for him to transition into that coaching role.
00:17:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:17:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sure, sure. I mean, if you can do it and we're desperate, I think we we'd keep Evans one way. I mean, he's been a bit of a lifesaver last couple of seasons.
00:17:45
Daniel
Yeah.
00:17:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I think, yeah, Harry Amos, well, we are short on kind of left backs, but He probably does need the experience, doesn't he? So I'm with you on this, probably again, alone.
00:17:58
Daniel
Yeah.
00:18:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right. Well, that's the defenders, which is great. um Let's have an another ad break and then we'll try and get through the rest. All right.
00:18:19

Find GSPN wherever you find your usual podcasts.
00:18:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, so the midfield starting with unlucky number seven, Mason Mount.
00:18:55
Daniel
ah The thing is, I was a very big fan of Ace of Marl when he was at Chelsea during two shows time.
00:19:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, yes, yeah, I was as well, I was as well.
00:19:03
Daniel
And I feel like in the system, I would give him another chance because this is a system that um that he was playing his best football at. So with is if if the injury issues can keep coming out, with her and then eventually you're going to have to send him because he can't just keep dealing with injury issues.
00:19:17
Daniel
But I'll give him another chance. I'll keep him for now.
00:19:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah You're right because we haven't seen him, but someone just seems wrong that the amount of injuries he's getting. and And he was off because of the head injury, was he?
00:19:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was really unclear what was keeping him out the last couple of weeks, but it seemed quite innocuous.
00:19:36
Daniel
no
00:19:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
And even when he's played, he just doesn't seem the same player. I'm sure the Chelsea boys on the Chelsea podcast are
00:19:44
Daniel
Yeah.
00:19:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
laughing at us right now thinking what an absolute bunch of idiots we were for paying that much money.
00:19:48
Daniel
Yeah.
00:19:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
I agree with you. He probably needs another shout. It's early days, but. I don't see it. And I also just think maybe we should retire at number seven. I think Michael Owen, he ruined it.
00:20:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Never let a scouser play at number seven.
00:20:05
Daniel
different frequency
00:20:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, he's cursed it. Only the big man Ronaldo can wear that shirt, I think.
00:20:10
Daniel
yeah
00:20:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Or maybe go on that show, could. Who knows? But there yeah, I'm not too sure about Mason Mount. I do worry about him.
00:20:17
Daniel
yeah
00:20:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
But you know what? I think you're probably right. Let's let's give him a shout. So to El Capitano, Bruno Fernandez.
00:20:27
Daniel
Wow, I'm a big fan of Brenner, however,
00:20:34
Daniel
If the right offer was to come in, like a certain ah certain level of money, it has to be black.
00:20:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
What's the right offer? What number? Give me a figure. Give me a figure.
00:20:40
Daniel
We have to be talking triple digits, like 100 mils or like just below.
00:20:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
All right.
00:20:44
Daniel
to If that was to come in, then I couldn't not accept it.
00:20:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
00:20:47
Daniel
However, he's the character and he is probably our best player. I would definitely keep him.
00:20:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm a huge fan. You've probably heard me on the podcast. He's he's put so much money in the piggy bank. I can't not back him.
00:20:59
Daniel
Yeah.
00:20:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think just even for his effort and work rate, it just feels like someone needs to unlock him again. Someone needs to just find the right position and and let him do his thing again.
00:21:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I felt in the Ipswich game, he was so deep. But he was keeping possession more, which I think was the whole point.
00:21:13
Daniel
yeah fifty yeah yeah
00:21:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know Arim was saying, that's what he wanted. We don't want to lose the ball as much. And Bruno loses the ball a lot. Are we losing the brilliance of that player? um I mean, he's a dead set to keep, I think. he's He's got a lot more to give and he's been one of our best signings since Fergie left. I'm going to put these two together. quite Probably makes it easier. Christian Ericsson and Casamiro.
00:21:41
Daniel
I would sell this. I think Ericsson, I think he's already touted to leave at the end of the season and he was, I think, the contracts up.
00:21:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:48
Daniel
And I think Casamiro, we need somebody that's like Casamiro, which I thought maybe you guys it could could possibly be, but obviously a lot younger. ah For Casamiro, I'm very thankful for everything that he's done for us over the last three seasons, but I think he's very much reached the pinnacle of his career.
00:22:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah and i mean I don't feel angry at them when I see them play and, and you know, you just think they're just past the prime now, but they're putting the effort to do what they can, but they're not at the level needed for the prime.
00:22:09
Daniel
Yeah.
00:22:14
Daniel
no
00:22:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
They could definitely play in another league for them. Absolutely. But they're well off the pace. So I think you're absolutely right. It's time for them to be, to be sold and moved on.
00:22:27
Daniel
Yeah.
00:22:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, and here's the potential replacement. So let's be interesting to hear what you thought of Bugarte so far.
00:22:34
Daniel
I think, from when I watched him, I think he'd been pretty solid. During my next row time, when he looked busy, he was getting a bow. I think he's been pretty solid too. And obviously he's worked with Amaran before, so I'll keep him, so.
00:22:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think that's a very good point. Obviously the connection is there. It's early days and I think probably, I think maybe the first game or two, it didn't look too good when he came on us.
00:22:55
Daniel
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
But when he's had a chance, this promising signs and we do need a bit of a warrior, someone who has got that fitness and got those legs. So I agree. Easy. So I think we've, we've definitely kept all the new signings so far, which is good news.
00:23:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, this is so easy. So easy. Probably our best player may be Kobe Manu.
00:23:15
Daniel
future captain no way never sign into a 10 year contract sign into a 10 year contract you should be going nowhere anytime soon absolute cute yeah
00:23:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
or You heard it first. Future captain. ah Yeah, I put ah like that. Future captain, absolutely. What a player this boy is already. ah Yeah, time down forever. Forever. That's it. Put one of those like Madrid 200-mil firework clauses on there. But yeah, such an easy one. Kobe Manu, brilliant. Can't wait for him to be back in the squad. We're really missing him.
00:23:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Two other youth players um I'm going to put together that I guess we've not seen too much of in comparison. ah Toby Collier and Daniel Gore. dan go
00:23:56
Daniel
I think both of them...
00:24:00
Daniel
they I'm on the verge of lowing Sal for both of them. like Yeah, I think Dangoor, he's been tired to come you know make the break that break through into the first team for like almost that three or four years now, and he hasn't really made that jump.
00:24:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, Sal as well.
00:24:14
Daniel
I think he's gone him i think he's been on lowing as well, and he hasn't, I guess, you maybe even impressed on lowing to a point where he know could consistently be in the first team. So if he can't break into the first team, it might be a thing where
00:24:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:24:24
Daniel
you have to sell and with Collier, obviously it's only been I think about one year where he's kind of worked with and you know, showed, been games in the first email, all of that stuff. So again, I'd give him a loan, obviously getting placed on consistent first team football. I think, when you get to the point of like being 18, 19, I hate academy football at that point, I think you should be going on loan. I think that's the best that's the best way to grow. After the age of 18, I think you should be looking to get as much first team football as you possibly can.
00:24:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no i think I think you're absolutely right. Depending on the age, you say he's a collier about 18, 19, is he?
00:24:55
Daniel
Yeah, I think so.
00:24:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
So and yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:24:56
Daniel
Yeah.
00:24:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
and he's He needs that kind of low move. And if Dangoor, like you said, has been there kind of loitering about, not really getting
Forwards and Future Prospects: Who Stays and Who Goes?
00:25:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
in, I guess in it to the advantage of him, I think we will see them because I think Amran was trying to explain that in the off time, they're going to practice the style and the other players are playing.
00:25:02
Daniel
yeah
00:25:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
They'll kind of like flip. So I think we'll see a lot of changes.
00:25:13
Daniel
Yeah.
00:25:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
So maybe we'll see a bit more of him. But when I've seen him, I thought he was OK.
00:25:18
Daniel
Yeah.
00:25:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't think, we weren't seeing another Mainu by any stretch of the imagination or any other kind of youth player who's kind of broken through. He doesn't have that feeling, does he, that he's going to make it?
00:25:28
Daniel
no
00:25:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
So i'm I'm with you.
00:25:29
Daniel
and know
00:25:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Loan or Sel properly correct?
00:25:31
Daniel
Yeah. And with them, I've seen from I kind of like to keep up with what's going on at United's Academy. And I've seen a lot of younger players like under 16 and 18 range where position players in their positions.
00:25:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:25:43
Daniel
I think a lot better than them coming through as well. Like we've got people that second corner that we spent money on in the summer and he looked good. I've seen he's obviously he was playing on the 21. Obviously, he just got injured, but he looks very good one in his different games.
00:25:53
Daniel
Yeah. And we've got people that attack in options like a game of golf and Lacey and all these guys as well.
00:25:55
Daniel
I don't...
00:26:01
Daniel
I don't think they're to that level to the point where I think they could break into the first team.
00:26:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Well, it's good to know that we've got exciting players coming through then, isn't it?
00:26:10
Daniel
Yeah.
00:26:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
To replace them.
00:26:12
Daniel
no
00:26:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're into the strikers, you'd be happy to know. So, Rasmus.
00:26:17
Daniel
So ah if yeahre not you're not gonna be happy with us.
00:26:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Whoa, you shot me. You shot me there. Whoa, go on.
00:26:25
Daniel
I just don't think he's good enough, unfortunately. And unfortunately, we spent so much money on him because I i genuinely just don't think he's good enough. As much as he's young and the people can say then if he can grow into it, it's just certain things in this game where I just look at him and you should have this in your game by now, unfortunately.
00:26:41
Daniel
If you are a striker, to play at the top level, these are certain attributes that you should have in your game. The ability to hold the ball up and, you know, and i don't think he I don't think he does it to the highest level. I think the ball sometimes...
00:26:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Brian.
00:26:52
Daniel
as always he There's times where he struggles with having to hold off a defender as well as concentrating on holding the ball. And I feel like he's trying to do, he can't do two things at once. It's like, he has to fight the defenders or there's games where he's controlling the ball and the defender's just getting in front of him.
00:27:05
Daniel
I just feel like he just doesn't have that consistency. There's games where I've seen him where like, oh, when I went to go watch him against Brantford, he was amazing. He was doing it very well. But in other games, he's got like five games which are struggling and just trying to hold the ball up.
00:27:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:27:16
Daniel
And I just feel like you should have that in your game if you want to be playing strike and at this point in a tremendous United Football Club.
00:27:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
My mouth is wide open. I like Rasmus. I think his ceiling's really high. I think he's strong. I know what you're saying, but I've seen plenty of times where I think like that board is strong. And I still feel like we're just not creating chances for him. He's still having to create chances himself. Feed him, he'll score. I think Hank's too early to get rid of him, mate. I'm so shocked he said that. I thought you were just gonna be like, yeah, it's keeping him like, you know, he's got all the potential. like no
00:27:53
Daniel
they're gonna see how far you're gonna see how far my boy falling on his tracks as well
00:27:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
i know
00:27:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
wow wow because ah Well, don't disappoint me here. Well, maybe you will. I'm going to move on from that.
00:28:03
Daniel
so
00:28:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I keep him. You think Sal Rasmus.
00:28:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
The player he's earning the most, I think the most, maybe joint most then. They face the club, Mr Marcus Rashford.
00:28:16
Daniel
and
00:28:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, thank God for that.
00:28:19
Daniel
I really think, I'm Russia's biggest fan, i'm he's my favourite football editor at Manchester United, he's my favourite player, but however, both for both United and for Restford, for both of their careers, he has to go.
00:28:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
You're on the same page.
00:28:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:28:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's not work.
00:28:31
Daniel
it's It's not, I don't see how he won, he fits into this new system, because unless he's gonna play in that that position behind the strikers, I don't think he, we've already seen, it's not gonna work.
00:28:41
Daniel
Restford does not strike, he can't hold he can't hold the ball up. he We're not playing the balls in behind anyway, so I don't see how it works with him being up front.
00:28:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm glad you said that. I really was thinking you were going to shock me again. i'm You know what? i thought I was coming into this thinking I was going to get really mad at the players, but I feel a bit more chilled out talking to you. So I'm not going to go into Rashford too hard again, because I always do. But it's racist run. I think, again,
00:29:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he's disrespected the badge too much. I think if this was the Fergie era, he would have been gone a long time ago. you know Thanks for the what he has done, that brilliant season, you know what he's done for the community and all these kinds of things, but he's not right for us.
00:29:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
He needs to be moved on. And I really feel a bit like Luke Shaw, the kind of remnants of potentially a toxic era.
00:29:28
Daniel
Heh heh heh.
00:29:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
There's something where I feel like remove Rashford and maybe the dressing room lights up again and I don't want to blame him because I don't know I'm making assumptions but the certain players have been there a long time and there's a certain feeling about the club still and feeling about the team and you just think Rashford's getting priority still when he's not performing. I mean I'm happy for him to stay if he's happy to be on the bench fair enough but I think let's cash in. Oh interesting one I think Joshua Zirksi
00:30:04
Daniel
Again, so I don't like I don't like any of many nights, right?
00:30:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
take
00:30:07
Daniel
I feel we need to have a whole strike and clear out and
00:30:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. yeah
00:30:11
Daniel
i the As much as it's cliche, Amarin, you've got to get on the fence sporting and you've got to bring in Gicaro. I don't know how you do it, but you've got to make sure you bring him to this club because what he's doing right now, and obviously Amarin was the one that's brought it out of him, I feel like he has to bring him to the United.
00:30:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm with you. I'm with you. Yeah.
00:30:27
Daniel
I don't think you not i think that's a that that that's what a United striker is supposed to be, someone that's scoring that many goals.
00:30:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, it feels like we've not been able to get strikers. One, because there's not many. Two, because they're too expensive and approved, because we've not really had a connection. Whereas now, like you said, with Jokras and Arim, there's a pull. Tenag wouldn't have been able to pull Jokras to the club. And I think we need we do need a top-class striker. I think Xerxes, I feel sorry for him. I mean, at the start, I thought he looked really good, and now he looks lost.
00:31:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
He reminds me of Donny Van Der Beek, mate.
00:31:00
Daniel
and just yeah I just don't see where he fits into the system as well.
00:31:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like, he just wants to talk to me. Yeah.
00:31:06
Daniel
I don't think he can play at the top of the strat because he's not fast enough and I don't really know if he can play behind us. I just don't know where he fits in.
00:31:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I don't know if it's in and I don't know what he's doing every game. And like I said, I'm feeling sorry for him.
00:31:17
Daniel
Yeah.
00:31:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm not sure he's got the support of his teammates. I know you say sell. I would maybe put him on loan. I'd maybe put him on loan just because you think, well, he was the young player of the year in Italy.
00:31:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know, if you look back at his career, even at Bayern Munich, he scored some important goals. There's something there, but I think he's just not, he's not having the best time.
00:31:37
Daniel
Yeah.
00:31:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe just needs a bit of space.
00:31:42
Daniel
Yeah.
00:31:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Send him as well, get his confidence back, bring him back in. But if we sold him again, I wouldn't mind. I think the striker clear out.
00:31:50
Daniel
yeah
00:31:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
I like that.
00:31:51
Daniel
Yeah.
00:31:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
See, if you're listening in the office, now you've hired us, I'm going to clear them out, get Ruben who he wants or get who we want, Jockerers, bring them in.
00:31:54
Daniel
just
00:31:59
Daniel
Yeah, bro, that's an easy cue.
00:31:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Oh, look at this, boy wonder, Ahmad.
00:32:06
Daniel
So much has to be said about him. I just feel like he needs to be played further up the pitch. I don't think this, as as much as he, I think he played well at Wingback because Ammon is just,
00:32:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. was Well, yeah, it was good.
00:32:14
Daniel
But I just think he played well there because he's just an amazing footballer and he has the ability to just, you know, show up or wherever he's playing on the pitch. However, no, I don't want to see that again. He should be playing just behind the striker. That position that Garnett and Bruno were playing in, that's where I should be on the pitch because he's just that he just has that much quality.
00:32:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
I completely agree. He was doing so much in that game and you just think you'd rather have him where he should be.
00:32:37
Daniel
Yeah.
00:32:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
making those cuttings into the box, actually taking shots, actually maybe passing to the striker if Rasmus is there. But I thought he did a fantastic job of winning back. I was so surprised. And I remember, you know, we've been talking on the podcast about Ahmad and how, I think maybe Oli was saying, we want to see a bit of flair from him, like Garnaccio.
00:32:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
He hasn't got that confidence. I'm thinking he's looking way more confident than Garnaccio now. He's playing with some flair, some confidence, some passion, ah brilliant.
00:33:02
Daniel
Yeah.
00:33:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I think as United fans, we've all kind of said, give him games, we'll see it.
00:33:09
Daniel
Yeah.
00:33:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
We always have that feeling. So easy keep, easy keep.
00:33:12
Daniel
Yeah.
00:33:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm talking to gone at you. Let's let's see what you think about him.
00:33:17
Daniel
Again.
00:33:20
Daniel
For me, Garnax is a pure winner for me. I think he is, I would obviously, um just to be clear, I would keep, obviously. However, what where he fits in this team, I feel like his decision is the way he needs to be quickly fixed.
00:33:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
OK, good. Yeah.
00:33:36
Daniel
Because the way the formation that Amaran wants to play and the two players behind the striker, they're basically kind of like attacking the field. It's kind of like that Bruno type of player. And as of right now, I don't think Garnax has, you know, the the football brain of the player to play in those type of positions.
00:33:54
Daniel
He's more of a winger. Even when I was watching him, black we could see the difference between the right side and the left side when we were watching that game. I felt like that lot barely had any passing options because one, Ericsson, he was being marked out of the game.
00:34:05
Daniel
And Guarnaccio never really made an option for him because he was kind of hugging the touchline.
00:34:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:34:09
Daniel
So it was just like,
00:34:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, yeah.
00:34:10
Daniel
But Bruno, because of his brain he because his football brain is so big, he was you know finding spaces where he could you know link up with Ahmad and link up with Casemiro. So there was just different triangles they could pass around. So he's going to have to learn quickly where he has to be on the football pitch if he is going to play it behind that striker role.
00:34:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I agree. I think it's his intelligence, his lack, and it's not really his skill or technique.
00:34:28
Daniel
Yeah.
00:34:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's got abundance. It's is that thing is, so does he really want to take that next step, take you know you know go up a level?
00:34:33
Daniel
Yeah.
00:34:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because the team's suffering because of his decision making.
00:34:38
Daniel
Yeah.
00:34:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
But at the same time, he's ah I think he's our top scorer, so can't be too critical. But I'd absolutely keep him, definitely.
00:34:43
Daniel
Yeah.
00:34:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Anthony.
00:34:46
Daniel
Oh, I forgot he's too peaceful.
00:34:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
that's Nice and quick on this.
00:34:52
Daniel
Yeah, so easy, so.
00:34:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, sorry, Anthony. Bye-bye. Please leave the club.
00:34:55
Daniel
ah
00:34:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Yeah, it's a shame, but it's just not worked out.
00:35:00
Daniel
Yeah.
00:35:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ethan Wheatley, which I didn't know it was in the first team squad, but he is.
00:35:04
Daniel
I would sell personally, or something. Because I think, oh, actually, nah.
00:35:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm not thinking alone.
00:35:11
Daniel
I would send him on loan because he's still young. He's only an A-team, but but i don't I don't see him breaking into first team because I feel like there's a striker younger than him who has been touted to come as the next, you know, and I think Chideo B.
00:35:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, he is.
00:35:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:35:23
Daniel
Martin's probably gonna, you know, be that next player from the academy to come through to the first team.
00:35:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's the one It would be nice to see a striker come through and actually make a mark because I feel like we've seen quite a few come through and they just disappear like sure, it's here and who you kill and so on.
00:35:32
Daniel
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
So if Obi Martin is the one, fingers crossed, you know, he sounds pretty good. That's fine. But yeah, Wheatley, either or, I think because he's young again, maybe alone.
00:35:47
Daniel
yeah Yeah.
00:35:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I don't even know why this snake is on here, but Jason Sancho is there. He's apparently staying employed by us.
00:35:54
Daniel
Oh, is his he's gone bad there.
00:35:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:35:57
Daniel
the that they The deal is, I think, if they finish in the top 11, and Chelsea are definitely going to finish in the top 11, so he's already gone.
00:36:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
There's a cause.
00:36:03
Daniel
mad we don't We don't need to think about
Podcast Closure and Listener Engagement
00:36:05
Daniel
him anymore.
00:36:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, no, he's gone. Good riddance.
00:36:08
Daniel
Yeah.
00:36:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
You know, I hope he has a terrible career.
00:36:10
Daniel
Yeah. she she Yeah.
00:36:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
I didn't say that, but I do. You know, he's like, he's like Dean Maria for me. That's our feel about him now.
00:36:15
Daniel
yeah
00:36:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, mate. Well, we actually did get to the end of that in under 40 minutes.
00:36:19
Daniel
Wow.
00:36:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
I was like, well, I don't know if we're going to make it, but, um, Hopefully we set the world to rights and hopefully you know the viewers, the listeners at home, you enjoyed that one. Maybe you agreed with me, maybe you agree with Dan, maybe you didn't agree with anything we said.
00:36:31
Daniel

00:36:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
um We'd love to hear from you. So in the comments, what are you listening to or watching this on? Let us know. Who'd you keep? Who'd you sell? Who'd you loan? Do we get anything right? Come and have a vent.

Global Sports Podcast Network
Because I'm sure there's plenty of us feeling like, wow, Amorim's got a big job. But we knew that. We knew that. It's just about you know will Amorim see the things that we've all seen, figure it out soon enough, and make sure he's picking the right place or right positions, and building a brilliant United team that can win.
