Episode 154 - Why Oliver Glasner is the WRONG manager for Manchester United

Patrick and Neel dive into Manchester United’s managerial search and why Oliver Glasner has become the frontrunner, before questioning whether his tactical approach and track record really fit a club trying to rebuild at the elite level. We look at what United’s squad says about the kind of coach they actually need, and how much room there is for another stylistic reset.

Then it’s across the transfer market: Aston Villa’s links to Conor Gallagher and Tammy Abraham and whether they’re smart upgrades or short-term fixes, Real Madrid targeting Nico Schlotterbeck as they plan their next centre-back pairing, Newcastle’s interest in Giorgio Scalvini and the risk-reward profile of that move, and Spurs spending £13m on Brazilian teenager Souza.
