We joined former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster at his podcast recording studio in Leamington Spa for this weeks UTD Podcast.

The Watford 'keeper turned YouTuber and Podcaster talked about his unconventional rise through the footballing pyramid, where he didn't come through a formal academy set-up but was instead scouted by chance for Stoke City.

Despite picking up a winners medal and the Man of the Match award in the League Cup Final versus Tottenham Hotspur, Ben revealed that he rarely enjoyed any moments while he played for United, and felt relieved to move on to Birmingham City in 2010.

Show notes

Manchester United fan favourites, Fabio and Rafael da Silva join the UTD Podcast this week, in a particularly international episode. Fabio joined from his home in France, while Rafael dialled in from the training pitch in Brazil.

The twins looked back on their eventful years together at Old Trafford; Cristiano Ronaldo calling them up before they signed for the club, Rafael scoring a screamer at Anfield, Fabio starting a Champions League Final - and much more.

The Brazilians revealed they had different approaches to their start at Manchester United; Rafael felt confident straight away, but Fabio struggled with the nerves and anxiety that playing for such a big club can bring.
