Live in Malta with Mike Phelan Apr 17, 2024

Show notes

For the first time ever the UTD podcast has been filmed in front of a live audience! We're back in Malta but this time we've got the whole gang together plus our special guest Mike Phelan.

Back in early February Sam, Helen & Maysie were invited by the supporters' club to celebrate their 65th anniversary and they had plenty of activities planned for us. Thank you to everyone at the Manchester United Supporters' Club Malta for your hospitality.

Mike Phelan has been on the UTD podcast before talking about his coaching career, so this was the perfect opportunity to focus more on his playing days. As well as his time at Burnley and Norwich, he talks about how he first joined United during that early Alex Ferguson era, before the gaffer had won a single trophy at United. Mike shares his memories of that famous 1990 FA Cup victory and tells the audience how things really clicked into place after that, putting in place the foundations for domination in the years that followed.

Maysie and Mike were also able to take some questions from the audience. Don't miss this truly unique episode of the UTD podcast!

Marouane Fellaini - "The most difficult season of my life" Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

Marouane Fellaini, who was Manchester United’s first major signing of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, sat down with Helen Evans and Sam Homewood to discuss his journey with the Reds between 2013 and 2019. The Belgium international, who announced his retirement from football in February 2024, admits his first season at the club was ‘the worst of his career’, but highlights his hard work and dedication in recovering to become a vital contributor to trophy wins under Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho.

Marouane also touches upon his early career with Standard Liege and Everton, moving to China and living through Covid there and what’s next after hanging up his boots, in an honest, open and insightful listen.

Emma Watson – “The biggest high to the lowest low” Mar 26, 2024

Show notes

Sam, Helen and Maysie are back at Carrington to speak to Emma Watson. The Scot joined United from Rangers in the summer of 2023 at the young age of 17 but unfortunately suffered an ACL injury while on international duty, shortly after signing. She opens up about how she is coping with this difficult stage in her career and what her future ambitions are, and believe us, she has big ambitions!

Emma’s career is still in its infancy, but that hasn’t stopped her tasting success. She’s a Scotland international, she’s scored in the Champions League, she won the 2021/22 Scottish Women's Premier League title and if that wasn’t enough, she was named PFA Scotland Women's Young Player of the Year. Wow, you can see why Marc Skinner wanted to sign her!

Enjoy this conversation with a rising star.

Our women's team have an exciting end of season in store, including an FA Cup semi-final and a match at Old Trafford. You can get behind them and purchase your match tickets here.

The Mayor of Manchester: United's Bright Future Mar 08, 2024

Show notes

This week Sam, Helen and Maysie are moving into politics. They were invited to the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to speak to the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham!

Andy is a huge football fan and an ambassador for the city of Manchester. Although he is an Everton fan, we talk about how his day job is heavily influenced by Manchester United and we explore his relationship with the club. Did you know that Andy's father attended the first game at Old Trafford after the Munich air disaster? And do you remember when Andy visited Vatican City to gift Pope Francis a Lisandro Martinez shirt?

We also use this opportunity to preview the upcoming Everton match at Old Trafford, plus Maysie tells us what he would do if he was ever the Mayor of Greater Manchester. Could this be the start of a new career?

We've got Jonny Evans! Part 2 Feb 27, 2024

Show notes

It's happened, we've got him! Lady Evans is joined by Mr Evans MBE on the Manchester United podcast! This episode was recorded in two parts, the first at the Evans household, before we catch up at Carrington to discuss the fact that the defender is now back at the club, after re-signing in the summer.

No ground is left uncovered with the Northern Irishman, from his early days as a supporter and memories of celebrating in the street when his heroes won the Treble. There is some chat around the computer game Football Manager, life in a body cast (!) and why he wouldn't kiss his mum in front of Roy Keane!

Of course, the background of how he joined the Reds' fabled Academy is covered in depth, as well as his two stints in the senior team. Impressive stays at West Brom and Leicester City are also discussed but the main focus is this big Red's affection for his boyhood club.

There is even a selection of listeners' questions for Jonny to answer as he lifts the lid on how much United means to him.

Unheard: Memories of Munich Feb 05, 2024

Show notes

As we commemorate the 66th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster, we have delved into the archives to present a special episode of the Manchester United podcast.

In 1998, 40 years after the tragedy, journalist and author Tom Tyrrell spent time with Jackie Blanchflower, Bill Foulkes and Albert Scanlon, Busby Babes and survivors from that fateful day.

They spoke about the wonderful and ground-breaking team they played in, the events of February 6th, 1958, the aftermath and how it made them feel to watch the United team of 1998 - on the edge of glory themselves.

Narrated by the legendary football writer Paddy Barclay, this is of course an incredibly emotional account of the darkest day in our club’s history, and the accounts of Jackie, Bill and Albert are presented as they were told in order to educate listeners.

Pat McGibbon - Speaking out after 20 years Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

To kick off 2024 Sam, Helen & Maysie catch up with former Red and Northern Ireland international Pat McGibbon. Pat has an important story to tell, particularly at a time of year when a lot of people struggle with their mental health.

Not long after joining United as a teenager, Pat learnt the tragic news of his brother Phillip taking his own life, which is something Pat hasn't spoken about until recently. He has begun to speak publicly about mental health issues, with the aim of increasing mental health awareness, reducing the stigma and promoting health and well-being through sport. Pat tells us about this heart-breaking time for his family and also how Manchester United offered him much needed structure in his life, helping him to focus on his football career again. It wasn't until after retirement when Pat started to really struggle with his own mental health. We're pleased to say that Pat has turned things around and is now a mental health and wellbeing coach/mentor.

In Phillip's honour, Pat founded the charity TRAIN 2 B SMART (TTBS) Juniors, who aim to promote positive mental health and well-being through sport. TTBS have affiliated boys and girls teams at a range of age groups. The aim of the charity is to educate through seminars, workshops, play and to inspire the local/ wider community.

For more information on Train 2B Smart you can watch this video or visit their website. You can donate to their Community Well-being Hub JustGiving page here. Thank you!
