No Question About That - a Manchester United podcast

Latest Episodes:

Romanian Rhapsody Jan 31, 2025

Show notes

#813 | Victory in Romania and it really should have been a rout. This was perhaps the closest iteration of a Ruben Amorim side yet. United were dominant in possession, creative in attack and but from some profligate finishing and desperate defending, the visitors would have run up a cricket score. Ed and Dan digest United's progress towards the last 16, debate the latest moves in the transfer market and look ahead to Crystal Palace at the weekend.

The Age of Miracles Jan 29, 2025

Praise the football gods. Ed and Dominic talk about the qualities Dorgu may bring to the team, think about some of the weaknesses and try and place the transfer in context.

On Eric Cantona with The Upshot Jan 28, 2025

Show notes

#811 | It's 30 years since Eric Cantona kung-fu kicked a Crystal Palace supporter at Selhurst Park. It's still one of the most iconic moments in football history.

Damn Fine Football Jan 27, 2025

Show notes

#810 | Victory at Craven Cottage but with just one shot on target, there's plenty of questions about the path forward. This is still not a side that creates or scores freely despite the strong defensive performance in London. Then there's news about the future of Old Trafford, with government support apparently forthcoming, and that damn fine footballer Antony joins Betis on loan.

Transfer Duds Jan 25, 2025

Show notes

#809 | Look, we don't want to be rude, but there won't be many tears shed for Antony when he departs on loan for Real Betis this week. Costing the club £85m when he joined two and a half years ago, the Brazilian has rarely delivered on the pitch and been, well, a bit more of a hit off it. But where does Antony rank in the worst post-Fergie transfers? Ed and Adam discuss.

Yer No Frae Roon Here, Are Ye? Jan 24, 2025

Show notes

#808 | United beat Rangers in the Europa League with a last minute goal from Captain Bruno Fernandes. How many clutch moments can one man produce. There's action in the transfer market, with both Antony (loan) and Alejandro Garnacho (£??) potentially leaving the club. Ed and Tom bemoan the state of the club and - sort of - enjoy United's performance against Rangers.

Manchester United: The Lost Tapes. One - Cantona Jan 24, 2025

Show notes

---

Few footballers have had a transformative impact to compare with that of Eric Cantona at Manchester United. When he arrived at Old Trafford from Leeds United, the club were still licking their wounds after passing 25 years without a league title - ironically, marking the occasion by coming agonisingly close in a battle with Cantona’s then-club.

In November 1992, the relationship between Cantona and Leeds manager Howard Wilkinson had deteriorated. Cantona had scored the Premier League’s first-ever hat-trick, and his immense talent was not in doubt - but his discipline was. Wilkinson had brought Cantona to Leeds as recently as January after the Frenchman had been effectively thrown out of his domestic league. The Leeds manager was known as Sergeant Wilko for a reason; however, so too was Eric nicknamed Enfant terrible.

Wilkinson found himself with an unexpected solution when he attempted to strengthen his defence. He needed a full-back, so asked his chairman Bill Fotherby to enquire whether Manchester United would allow Denis Irwin to return to Elland Road. United chairman Martin Edwards said no - but, after a brief discussion with Alex Ferguson, made a counter- offer. Could Manchester United sign Eric Cantona? A deal was swiftly agreed. Leeds felt they were losing a troublemaker. The world of football felt Ferguson was taking a gamble he could ill afford.

Introducing - Manchester United: The Lost Tapes Jan 23, 2025

Show notes

This is Manchester United: The Lost Tapes. Stories about United's rich history, told in a way you've never heard before. Written by Wayne Barton, narrated by Patrick Barclay and produced by Studio 1878.

Episode One: Cantona

Eric Cantona’s arrival from Leeds United transformed Manchester United after a 25-year title drought, reshaping the club’s fortunes and igniting the Premier League’s imagination. Internal conflict at Leeds and Cantona’s infamous disciplinary issues under Howard Wilkinson, culminated in a startling twist when Leeds approached United about signing Dennis Irwin. Instead, United countered with an offer for Cantona—setting in motion one of football’s most pivotal transfers and redefining what it meant to be a United legend.

Some episodes coming later in the season include ...

Bitter Rivals

In the late 1990s and early noughties there were no more fierce rivals than Arsenal and Manchester United. From the mass brawl at Old Trafford in 1990, to trading titles in 1997, 1998 and 1999, two epic FA Cup semi-finals and pizzagate, no holds were barred.

Welcome to Hell

In 1993, Manchester United ended the 26-year wait to win a league title. Their reward for that piece of history was to compete in the European Cup. United had qualified for the semi-finals in each of their five campaigns under Sir Matt Busby, winning it in 1968. The club's first foray into the tournament tin almost a quarter of a century was to end in stunning, controversial fashion, with one of the most memorable ties in the history of the competition. This is Manchester United's Welcome to Hell.

Knighton

It is 1989 and Michael Knighton is on the Old Trafford pitch juggling a football and scoring at the Stratford End in front of a bemused crowd. Knighton had secured a £20m acquisition of Manchester United, agreeing to purchase shares from then club Chairman Martin Edwards. The investment would be put towards improving the first team and rebuilding the Stratford End. Yet, within a fortnight the deal had collapsed amid acrimony and accusations that Knighton didn't have the money to complete the deal. This is the inside story from those who covered it on the ground.

Glove, Actually Jan 22, 2025

Show notes

#807 | Andre Onana started the season well, and at one stage had the best data (saves vs expected saves) of any keeper in the top European leagues. Yet, he has made some ridiculous errors in recent weeks against Wolves, Forest and Brighton. Together with mistakes that cost United last season, the focus is once again on a stopper who has not lived up to his price tag or billing. Should United dip into the market? Can United afford to dip into the market? Ed and Dominic discuss.

Welcome, Ruben Angerim Jan 21, 2025

Show notes

#806 | Ruben Amorim ... Ruben Angerim more like. The Manchester United Head Coach reportedly smashed a TV in the Old Trafford dressing room after United's defeat to Brighton on Sunday. His anger stems from players refusing to follow his instructions. Hosts Ed and Isabel like it.
