0:32Hello, Blee. Good morning. Welcome to the United Stands. I'm Mark Goldbridge and this is your latest Manchester United news and transfer news as Manchester United sign a teenage wonder kid. We've signed a player from Colombia. His name is, I've forgotten it. I've forgotten it already. I did write it down. It's Orozco. It's Christian Orozco. Let's go. It's Orozco. We'll talk about who he is in a moment. Also, look, I didn't realise we were going to do this this morning, but I didn't realise we were going to sign a player this morning. I saw what Terry was talking about last night in relation to the midfielders that we've been linked to.

1:06Is it too late? You've got people like Ben Foster, my big friend Ben Foster, saying that Amorim almost inevitably facing the sack if he has one more good run. I want to talk about bad run. I want to talk about that as well. We've also been linked to another midfielder, which is apparently a load of rubbish, a Senegalese midfielder. I think his name is Dabo. I want to talk a bit about Sesco this morning because I've just got this. I keep it about I want to be wrong about this but I keep being told there's a chance that Sesco won't start against Brentford on Saturday lunchtime. We'll talk about that and a few other bits I want to talk to as well.

1:38Incredibly grateful for your patience across the channel the last couple of days. We've all been hit with stuff. Beth's not well now. Maud's is away. I've not been well. I'm a little bit late this morning. Yeah, I suppose it's real life, isn't it? You know, apologies for that. It's not an excuse. But, you know, I realise that it's not been the normal sort of pattern this week. So I appreciate your eternal patience as always. And thank you very much everybody's tuning in or watching live or not watching live. It's impacted the career mode, by the way. I'm struggling to get one this week, maybe tomorrow, but we'll see how it goes.

2:10Right. Let's get into what this new signing is first, because look. Look, what I want to talk about is that, look, we've been here before. Like, it's great. And I'm not here to dismiss it. But look, Ben Jacobs has confirmed it. South American reports last night were hinting at it. Manchester United effectively are going to sign this lad called Christian Orozco from Colombia for, we don't know what fee it is, but he's agreed a deal to sign for Manchester United. he's a wonder kid his name's christian orozco he'll join the club when he turns 18 next year he's currently um 17 man united have a preliminary agreement in place with his club fortelelsa um and apparently he captains the team to the final of the south american championships so look great great but honestly i'm sort of at the point now where it was really exciting to sign Leon.

3:14And people were like, when we get Leon next summer, he's going to go straight in the team or at least be a backup. Where is Leon? You know, it's mid-September. He doesn't even get on the bench. So he's a player for the future. So I look at Orozco and I sort of like go, great. But as Joob says, we need players for the now. And as it says on the thumbnail, too late. How does this help Ruben Amrim, who hasn't been given a midfielder, who is under immense pressure, somewhat unfair pressure, somewhat justified pressure. How does signings like this help him? These are the sort of signings that have got patience written all over it.

3:51And that patience is something the media doesn't allow and some fans do not allow. So I look at it and I go, oh, Orozco, let's go Orozco, defensive midfielder. We need a defensive midfielder. He's a wonder kid from Colombia. Oh, he's from South America. He's probably got that South American grit. he probably comes from a background if we're being stereotypical that's not that wealthy so you know he's like the old school midfielders of Roy Keane and Paul Ince that you know they get it you know they get that being a footballer is a privilege and they get that playing for Man United is a dream and they're going to come into that midfield and they're going to work their socks off and they're going to be full of passion and intensity and consistency oh we're cooking we're cooking but then you go he's 17 he's not coming till next year by the time he comes here we might have a new manager um if we haven't got a new manager he'll still he'll still be under pressure will he throw him into the midfield you know is mainu getting chances in the midfield or are we picking a guy that's not a midfielder over mainu who's yeah so your brain sort of goes yay this is great to sign a player like this and it is of course it is but then your brain goes hold on a minute we've got a we've got a player called mainu who most of us think are better than british better than bruno in the midfield he's working his socks off in training who's come through the youth setup who has got the right attitude and he can't even get in the team so why would i get excited about well i am excited but why would i get optimistic about how that's going to impact man united right here right now i wouldn't because it's not and why would i get excited about it impacting man united next season well it probably won't do look at leon and will amram even be here so look um we have to be better at our scouting and we have to be better at our scouting in south america so this is another tick in the box but it's long term and we have to have a long-term plan i'm not in any way shape or form dismissing this and saying it's not good it is good but is it urgent is it needed is it yes it is needed does it help us here and now no because as we saw with and i know if you watch the eight o 'clock show last night you probably saw this but i think it was mike mcgrath reporting last night about how um where was that where was that where was it i I think it was, here we go.

5:57Yeah. Mike McGraw last night in The Telegraph, basically saying that Man United are ready to lead the way next summer in the race for holding midfielders with the position expected to dominate the transfer market. But Labour, Wharton and Elliot Anderson are likely to be in high demand next year. And that's where I scream and shout and say, too late. It's too late to apologise. It's too late. And I think that's a cracking song, by the way. But I think it's a very relevant point. like on the one hand we've got this immediacy of let's get rid of the manager let's get rid of the manager on the other hand we're like next summer we're gonna buy midfielders we're gonna we're gonna make a massive splash in the window next summer and i'm like we could have made a massive splash three weeks ago could have you know we really really could have done and we didn't and we need them now we don't need them next summer so um yeah look we've got to have future plans but I do think we often focus too far in the future and not on the now.

6:53And I think that that's my sort of concern about it because you know what? I was down in London yesterday. I had a commitment that I had to go to for YouTube. And fortunately it was only two minutes talking on stage because I didn't feel particularly great. But I was talking on the way down to the person who dragged me down, who was actually Portuguese, talking all about Amarim. And he made a great point. Shout out to Sergio. He made a great point because he said, look at Arteta. Look at Arsenal. So look, what we're talking about here is, I think Ben Foster, I read the article this morning in the Manchester Evening News, has basically said that Amarim's one bad run of fixtures away from the sack.

7:38And I understand what Ben's saying because when you sort of test the water around the media and around the fan base at the moment, it feels like Amram is, you know, a couple of bad results away from the sack. But then I just, I look, we were having this conversation yesterday in the car and I said, you know what surprises me though, is that when you get away from it, you remove, and I've had to get away from it over the last couple of days, obviously. When you take your head out of the, you know, the room for a moment and you just think about it and you go, five Premier League games, two wins, one draw, Fulham, we should have won, two losses Arsenal Man City so we beat Burnley we beat Chelsea and we draw with Fulham better than we were doing last season let's be honest we lose to Man City we lose to Arsenal at the end of last season Arsenal and Man City finished in the top four and we finished 15th so by logic Arsenal and Man City I think we'd all agree were better than us last season yeah Arsenal and Man City have spent more than us in the summer.

8:43So if they were better than us at the start of the summer, and they've spent more than us in the summer, and then they beat us in the opening five games, why are people moaning? Because they are. So why are they moaning? So better teams who spend more money beat us, and we're moaning, and almost at a point where before the Chelsea game, there was a frenzy to sack the manager. and I go, welcome to the problems of Manchester United. Welcome to the world of Manchester United. We are not as good as teams that have beaten us and yet we have to sack our manager. And that's the crazy frenzy around Manchester United.

9:19And so when I read that like, you know, Amrim's a couple of bad results away from the sack, I sort of go, why? Why is he? I mean, Mikel Arteta lost his first three games of the season. I think it was 21, 2021. he just finished eighth he lost his first three games of the season now i guarantee our tether out was a thing i'm sure it was a thing but because people are saying grimsby in the chat yeah grimsby pisses me off i'll be honest with you fartini grimsby pisses me off um i was talking to um at the youtube event last night alice talks football was there and we were talking about how this week is a dead week because we're not in football uh we're not in we're not in the tournament and you know we messed grimsby up that that has to fall on the manager of course it does i'm not saying the manager hasn't made mistakes i think i think picking bruno fernandez in the midfield is a mistake but ultimately hey everybody lady luck here and we're celebrating america's 250th birthday now all summer long i'm going to be celebrating by playing on spinquest.com which is an american-owned social casino it obviously features over a thousand slot games and live blackjack, live craps, live bubble craps, head on over to spinquest.com.

Mikel Arteta lost his first three Premier League games of the season after finishing eighth. Now look at where they are. Three second places, an amazing squad, and a Champions League semifinal. Now, I know some of you would say, wow, you know, he hasn't won anything. There are Arsenal fans who want to sack Arteta because he's got, this line makes me laugh. He's got to win the league this year or the Champions League, otherwise he's not good enough. And you go, so he's got to win something that you haven't won for 21 years, the league, otherwise he gets the sack.

11:17Or he's got to win something you've never won in your history, otherwise he gets the sack. And this is what I mean. Welcome to the modern world of expectations we should all have standards we should all have expectations but sometimes i think they get a little bit muddled up like how can you demand arteta wins the champions league or he gets sacked when you've never won the champions league or the european cup in your whole fucking history and you know i do look at arsenal and i might be the only person in the room here if you offered me third place for the last three years and a champions league semi-final i I would bite your hand off.

11:53I mean, I don't know why you would offer me that and let me bite your hand off. I've never understood that saying, but I would bite your hand off. I would love United to finish second three times and Champions League's in front. I love it. There'd be a frustration that we hadn't won one, but bloody hell. I'd swap that for the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, 100%. Because what I grew up with, with Sarah-Lex Ferguson was, no matter what, every year we'll challenge for the title. We might not win it every year, but we'll challenge for the title and arslan will do that again they might not win it but they you know so what i say is like i get the frustration and that's why we have communities like this because the conversation is allowed it's not wrong you know you're not wrong to say i don't agree with what he's doing with the goalkeeper i don't agree with what he's doing with manu i don't agree what i'm doing with bruno or don't agree with him starting luke short all those things are valid points we're not rocking all over the world you know we're not playing brilliant football there is there is definitely room for improvement but I also think the extremity of opinion you know sometimes when you take the head out the room is incredible like as I said Arteta lost his opening three games after finishing eighth look at where he is now they could have sacked him look at where he is now but more closer to home Amrum is apparently on the verge of the sack I mean if he'd lost to Chelsea by the way if he'd lost to Chelsea on Saturday I think this week would have been a momentous movement to sack the manager.

13:17But you could have looked at it and gone, I don't know how I would have felt if we'd lost to Chelsea. I don't know. Maybe I would have been going, you know, he's sacking himself. Maybe he needs to go. But when you logically break it down, if he'd lost to Chelsea, there is still the voice of reason that could say, you're playing Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal in your first five games. They all finished in the top four. They've all spent more than you and they're all better than you already. why is it the end of the world if you lose those games because logically i would say if you had a hundred pounds and if you get the bet wrong you basically get thrown into a fishbowl with loads of sharks in it man united against chelsea where you're putting your hundred quid based on the fact they're already better than you and they've spent better than you you'd probably put it on chelsea the same with arsenal the same with man city so why is there this expectation that man United losing to Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal means you've got to sack the manager.

14:15Well, we didn't lose to Chelsea either. But my point is, expectation sometimes runs away from reality. We need patience. I don't even know if I've got patience, but where my patience runs out, to give you my opinion, is because I don't want to see Amrim sacked. I think some of the reaction around him is melodramatic. And I think some of it rolls over from last season, to be fair. where I stand is and I've said it to you so many times if Amorim would take Bruno out of the midfield and pick Mane and stick with Mane and Agate and it didn't work I would be going this is what fucking happens when you do not buy a midfielder this is what happens when you've got a shit ownership look at Arsenal look at Chelsea look at Liverpool look at Newcastle an ownership that wants to be good on the pitch they've not bought him in midfield and this is why we're struggling and i would be saying that unfortunately i can't say that because although he wanted a midfielder i still think he would pick bruno next to him and that's on the manager that's my big problem with with amram at the moment is the the midfield issue is huge but he's also played a part in it by putting bruno in there uh so you know i would hold on to that one um if you're tuning a little bit later i'm going to get into some of your comments but essentially manchester united have signed i don't know i've gone scottish manchester united have signed a well are signing a midfielder called um christian arosco uh ben jacobs has confirmed this this morning ben jacobs is on the show at two o 'clock with beth uh cheering for that um live preview tonight at eight o 'clock by the way for brentford we've been doing that the last couple of weeks love that so arosco um is going to be turning 18 next year and he will join manchester united when he is 18 he's a defensive midfielder wonder kids uh coming in at manchester united but you know what i would also say about that very exciting but we did this a year ago with conant so i don't look this is another mic drop right when i look at that manchester i look at that manchester united side gary and it's hard to look at it because my trainers are so white i can't see um but when i look at that Manchester United side, the last thing I think they need is another 17-year-old kid.

16:34I think they need men. They need a good big bunch of men around them, you know. And I don't mean they're in that way. I mean, like, you know, experience. That's what we need. And that is what my United need. I look at Kunia and Mberma and I think, perfection. I think if we brought Donnarumma or Martinez in goal, perfection. I think if we put Jokerez or Osserman up front, perfection. That doesn't mean that Lemens won't work out. That doesn't mean that Sesco won't work out. But I think that United side is absolutely,

17:07absolutely crying out for the here and now, as Fatini said. Fatini said. We're absolutely crying out for the here and now. So Kone, Orozco, these players could be really good in the future but there this is a this is a club that has no future i know i know that's a horrible horrible saying because everybody's got a future but there is no tomorrow at man united there is only today and the past we don't have a future at man united we're we're we're a weird football club um i think at barcelona you you have to live in the today but you can plan for tomorrow i certainly think you can do it by Munich and Liverpool now.

17:51But Manchester United, because of circumstances, we're nothing more than today and the past. The past weighs heavy and drags us back. And the today is all that matters. So all these future signings, Kone, Obi, I mean, it's gone very quiet around Kone and Obi at the moment, hasn't it? Obi, you know, is with the 21s, not on the bench anymore. Leon's not on the bench at the moment. Kone's obviously had his injury issues, but he ain't going to get anywhere near the first team. Tomei's not going anywhere near the first team. Agata and Maynard are sat on the bench. So these future signings are great, and I'm sure there'll be a load of people doing loads of clips and loads and loads of stuff, but I'm sorry.

18:30My opinion is not going to get excited because it's not what we need right now. It's not going to happen right now. And even when he comes in, maybe next season, I don't think he goes straight in the team anyway. And next season doesn't matter. Brentford does. Sunderland does and unfortunately we left Amorim exposed because we didn't bring the midfielder in that we needed now so I do like the idea of bringing these younger players in but it's not like we didn't do it a year ago with Kone is he in the team yet it's not like we didn't do in the summer with Leon is he isn't in the team yet I mean we might hit a wonder kid that ends up being like Fabregas who goes straight into our team and maybe he comes in before the end of the season and maybe he goes straight into the team and maybe he's you know he's the next Caicedo Elliot Anderson Enzo Fernandez combined into one and he's the best player ever and he plays for us for 10 years we've got a new Roy Keane maybe he is but when I look at that United side what we actually needed two months ago was Adam Wharton or Jumann or maybe Belieber that's we needed that two months ago well I suppose when you look at it two months ago when the window was actually open we needed a midfielder and that could have been Wharton or whoever right we needed it two months ago we needed an experienced midfielder two months ago I'm now meant to get excited about a 17 year old that might not be until next year so two months ago I could have had an experienced midfielder but don't worry we've got a wonder kid who will be here in a year's time and I'm like that's my issue too late too late that's my issue it's like it's not that it's a bad signing it's great we've done a lot of these over the years but two months ago we should have bought an experienced midfielder and in a year you're bringing in another wonder kid and and that's sort of the way i look at it we've got to bring those people in we have to bring those people in 100 but we also have to be ready for the now and and that you know doesn't help us against brentford does it um and i don't actually know why we haven't looked at that to be fair um lots to get into this morning um How are you feeling, Mark?

20:41Hey, guys. Lady Luck here. Are you going on any road trips this summer? I know I'm going to be going on a bunch of road trips.

21:36I've got this week's highlights of the Bundesliga going out at five o 'clock today on That's Football as well. Harry Kane is unbelievable. Like, I slag Harry Kane off in an England shirt, but in a Spurs and Bayern Munich shirt, he's just world class. I've always said Harry Kane's world class. I think England don't use the right system for him. Bayern Munich, Spurs did. Harry Kane must not have a number 10 near him and he must have two wide players that are wide forwards. so on the united side if we'd bought harry kane i would have said rashford off the left i don't know let's say michael alise off the right and you know you need three midfielders really not you don't really want you muzziano is a bit of a 10 it could work with bruno to be fair but he likes to what i'm trying to say is the most important thing in a harry kane team is that you have a player the two wide players that run behind him it'd be brilliant it'd be brilliant at liverpool actually it worked really well at Liverpool he needs wide players that run past him do we play in a system like that now no we we need a striker that plays on the last man it's going to press you know Harry Kane wouldn't even suit our system anymore so Harry Kane would be he'd probably score goals for anybody but I don't think Harry Kane suits us now and we've just spent nearly 70 million pounds on Sesco so I don't like um I don't I don't see Harry Kane coming anywhere near Manchester United but what you've got to say is he's bloody unbelievable um he's an unbelievable forward but I don't see him coming to Manchester United in fact I see quite the opposite I mean I sort of hinted at this last week or maybe at the start of the week and um obviously the last couple of days I've had lost time on my phone because I've just been you know lying in bed watching films watched Sicario again very good film but um I've been messaging people a little as well and yeah it's um it's that there's a bit of a rumor going around and i'm hoping it's just a rumor that um amarin is really wanting to get kunya and mount into the team on saturday um now obviously the team's not been picked yet it's only thursday morning i think his press conference is tomorrow but this sort of started off as a fear i mentioned it on monday and actually it's now sort of coming out a little bit that it might become a reality so that reality would be sesco doesn't even start against fulham and if he doesn't start against fulham i start to think this is going to be another look you want your manager to do what your manager wants to do of course you do but i don't like bruno in the midfield and i'm not going to change my mind i just hope i get proved wrong and i don't think people actually understand that by the way Like when Bruno could have gone to Al-Halal in early June, we did a really good show and there was a vote.

24:22And I think like 75 % wanted Bruno to go and 25 % didn't, which was quite high. But I think the vast majority sort of came to the decision like I did, that if Bruno's going to play in the midfield, you take the 90 million. If Bruno's going to play as a number 10, you tell him to go forward and prosper. and effectively um i feel like with bruno that was a decision that amram made and you've got to hold that against amram or you've got to praise amram for it now i want amram to do well i really like bruno so i want to get proven wrong but then i have my own experience my own knowledge and i'm like this isn't gonna work this isn't gonna work and i keep saying it's not gonna work I don't like this more.

25:08I don't like it more than it's not going to work. But I want it to work. I want to get proven wrong because I'm not earning 100 grand a week like Amorim. So I want him to be right about that. And as I said at the start of the week, I was wrong about Demblin's. So, you know, that was something I was wrong about. There's no doubt about that. And, you know, I might be wrong in relation to Bruno in the midfield. Of course I might. So hopefully, hopefully that won't be the case, but maybe I will. And, you know, maybe if Amarim starts Mount and Cunha and Emberma as a front three against Brentford, like he did against Fulham, we'll play some really, really good football and we'll win the game.

25:55So when the team comes out at 11 o 'clock on Saturday and Sesco's on the bench and it's Mount and Bruno, Mountain and Bumo and Cunha, I expect there'll be a lot of people not very happy about it. But it doesn't mean we won't win the game. And it doesn't mean that Amron won't be right. It will just be disappointing in the needs that we have. So don't be surprised if Sesco's on the bench on Saturday is what I'm saying. I'm hoping that's not going to be the case, but Amron really likes Mount and obviously he looks Cunha. So I think he might try and find a way of getting all three in. but let's wait and see.

26:32I mean, the thing is, I'm not convinced that Ruben Amirim wanted Seska. I'm not convinced that that was the guy he wanted. In fact, I'm pretty sure it wasn't. And therefore, when you're moving down the list from plan A to plan D, you might look at plan D and go, I'd rather play Mount. you know and that's that's not unjustifiable like it isn't i want to see man united playing with striker and i think that the way arteta has utilized um what's his name um the okarez basically get him in the team get him in the team get him in the team and that's a very intelligent way of doing things but i also think that we could have done that a little bit more with sesco you know we've been a bit protective of his lack of fitness and there's in certain games he hadn't started.

27:28But these two games are so important to win. It's that balancing act of, do you start him in this game? Do you start Sesko and, you know, try and get him to get goals? Or do you go with the players that you trust? And I think we saw last week, I wasn't particularly happy with the team that he picks, Casemiro, et cetera, the ender in goal. But just keep it in your head. I mean, we've got the preview tonight. I will talk about it more then, but I do think there's potentially an opportunity where we see Maynou, Tanya and Embermo play. I think he's going to go with the players that he trusts and I'm not 100 % sure he trusts Cesco at the moment, so let's wait and see.

28:09But I talk about these things in preparation, like we spoke about it on Saturday that the Inder was going to start in goal against Chelsea. And I said, the reason I'm talking about it now is because in the hour before the game, I don't want to spend my time stressed out about that because I need to focus on Man United winning and we did beat Chelsea but I'm just I'm just sort of preparing myself mentally for that um Mainu Mainu very very quickly um another story coming out about Mainu working really really hard uh the mirror talking about him wanting to go on loan in January I mean nothing nothing made to add there um you know I think ultimately the the main thing is is the transfer window is closed um knowing people who know Mainu and how he trains there's never been any issue with that he's certainly not a player that turns up late or doesn't put the work in amram might look at him and go i don't think you're as good as casimiro that's my point is it's amram's opinion why mainu doesn't get picked it's not application from mainu it's not like you know it's not like he's not working hard it's not like he didn't have a very good pre-season it's not like he's no you know not putting the extra work in international breaks um suddenly told me if he'd have got that move in the final week of the window he'd have gone to whatever club he'd gone to very very fit napoli whatever you've been probably playing straight away what's the issue with mainu and amram is just amram doesn't rate him enough to put him in the team at the moment and not in a bad way he does rate mainu but at the moment he doesn't see him as a starter another manager at another club might do and there wouldn't be an issue with mainu's fitness or his application so it's it's just not the quite the right fit at the moment so look spoke about xerxi about this on monday we mentioned it with frederickson as well there's not a lot of games we should have been playing this week we're out the carabao cup we should be playing next week we're not in europe there's only so many games one game a week they're all bloody cook finals brentford sunderland in a normal season you'd look at them and go can we mix and match a little bit we've got a european game next week we've got a carabao cup game you know let's give a let's give mainu a bit of time let's give zirksi a bit of time we can't do that now because if i start a team against brentford that's got zirksi and mainu in it and laments in here people are going to be going why are you making three changes why aren't you playing in Burma why aren't you playing Bruno why aren't you playing you know the ender you know whatever um heaven at that why not playing you know why taking risks every game's a cook final so it's difficult for these people to get their minutes at the moment I mean look I I'm not here to wish injury on anybody and I certainly don't want to see a player of Bruno's capability and leadership losing um going out with injury but I think probably the only way he's going to get any game time at the moment is that you get 90 minutes a week at what point do you take Bruno off to give Manu some time but look there is a like the the sands of time there is a there is a time egg timer like that because I actually agree if we hit January the 1st and Manu's minutes are low he's got every right to say you know whatever about the World Cup I'd love to go to the World up but i actually want to play football i haven't played football for six months i want to play so we have to monitor that one but happy birthday america it's time to celebrate and play your favorite las vegas casino games by american-owned spinquest.com what's better than fireworks and american pie hitting a black check in the palm of your hand and you won't lose your fingers over a thousand games including slots and live dealers and 30 point packs are on sale for 10 spinquest.com buy american players for american players SpendQuest is a free-to-play social casino.

I think Harry Maguire is the prime example to anybody of how sometimes keeping your powder dry, working hard, football has a funny way of rewarding you. Harry Maguire, like, has been written off so many times. You know, nearly went to West Ham, only didn't go to West Ham because United wouldn't pay him what he was owed in wages. So the story goes, a lot of people were pissed off about that. You know, you should have gone, etc. He's back playing for Man United in England in a very short period of time because suddenly, you know, your fifth choice centre-back and then there's two or three injuries in your starting game.

32:30So things can open up for you. And sometimes it's best just to keep working hard, keep your head down, especially in that midfield. We've only got four midfielders for two spots. You know, Casemiro's actually suspended. at the moment so the you know you're the third choice midfielder and one of them might come off so you've just got to you've just got to you've just got to take your opportunity um and i think those opportunities will come so you've got to be in the right mindset at the right time and i'm sure harry maguire being you know an english player especially will be saying these things to mainu or mainu will be speaking to harry maguire and he'll be saying look you've got a great future at the football club you're only 20 you've just got to wait for the opportunity as frustrating as it is because it is frustrating and i'm sure harry mcguire used to sit on the bench looking at some of the center backs and go i'm better than them but you wait for your opportunity and then you take it um i've told you the story before and on amateur level when i was playing for my school when i was like 15 we were a very good team and we i was on my work experience at grantham town football club we had a friendly on the thursday ahead of a cook gang on the saturday and i said to the manager um i um had a bit of an injury and i was like i'm gonna come back and play on thursday to show you that i'm fit because i was struggling with shin splints and uh he said oh don't worry about that you don't need to worry about that you know you're on work experience no i want to because i wanted to prove i was fit and um anyway he said don't worry about it state your work experience so i thought that meant i'll be starting on the saturday we're on the bloody bus to the to the match on the saturday and he says you know because your skin your shin splints um i'm just not going to risk it we'll probably just give you you know sort of like the last half an hour or something like that bloody court game i'm like human um and anyway um we start off and um we concede two goals quite quickly and i'm on within 15 minutes and it's like you know something i could have had a right moan in the in the in the bus could have called him all sorts of names i have rubbish hair his breath always smelt a coffee but i didn't i just kept my mouth shut and i went you know what this is going to be a mistake and as soon as it went to no i was like come on and and and it worked out you know it doesn't always work out but you know it did work out uh let's have a look at some of your comments um alex says i hope you're well main you should be coming on over agate any day of the week for me it's frustrating when our young talent falls down the order but amory might be seeing something we don't what's up everybody it's bretsky and america is turning 250 and i can't think of a better way to celebrate that than playing on an American-owned social casino, spinquest.com.

Thanks for everyone who's tuning in. please share the video and smash a like uh you yourself said rasmus being thrown in at the deep end was not the right thing but now you want to do the same thing to sesgo as a single striker instead of slowly letting him settle down coming from a different league says vedant a good point in my opinion maybe some people agree with you my answer to that would be rasmus came in from atalanta in his breakthrough season and got stuck up front with manchester united with no striker in a system that needed a striker with no backup striker and no players to give him any service.

35:58So breakthrough season at Atalanta, straight into the United side, no backup striker, system needed a striker and no real service. I think that was a dangerous thing to do. Sesko comes into a team that's got Cunha and Invermo behind him. He's got massive experience. He's been playing in the Champions League for the last four years. And, you know, there are other options if we need it. I think we've tried other options. I think by the middle of September, I would expect Cesco to be starting games, basically. That's my point. Kobe likes the clip of Ginge ringing you on Instagram to his MMA takedown.

36:34Yeah, I saw that. I don't know which way to read that, but, you know. To be fair, you weren't wrong about Dembele. You're not Rain Man. No one could have predicted the path from Ambulance to Bel Andoros' Nick. But yeah, look, my point is, on Bruno in the midfield, I think Amram could be sacking himself. I want to be wrong because I don't want Amram to sack himself. And I like Bruno, but ultimately he's cost us a lot of goals in the midfield. On Dembele, I would put my hands up and say, I was wrong. I was wrong. We should have bought him. But then I look at it and go, was I wrong? If you put Dembele all those years ago at Man United, so was it three years ago we went for Dembele?

37:16If we'd gone for Dembele instead of Anthony, I mean now it looks like an absolute stupid thing to say we should have gone for Dembele of course but if we brought Dembele in into the Premier League where it's more intense maybe his legs wouldn't have dealt with it also on top of that if you bring him into Manchester United instead of PSG where you're pretty much going to win every week maybe he would have sunk maybe would be a massive flop so it's not always about let's not buy that player because he's got injury problems and he's not the right player at Man United but then he goes to PSG and wins the Ballon d 'Or doesn't mean if he comes to Man United he wouldn't Ballon d 'Or we are a ruiner of players as well so but I would I would own that we you know I made a mistake on that but it doesn't necessarily mean in reality I did would you activate Harry Kane's release clause just Alex we've spoken about that I mean I think Harry Kane would be a brilliant player but I don't think he suits what United need and to be honest with you to activate his release clause would be stupid because that money should be being spent on a proper goalkeeper or two midfielders in my opinion uh pz says if amarin is dumb enough to allow the board to waste 60 million on a stride he doesn't want then i don't know what to think of him says pz look going back to the sesco point i think that sometimes take your head out the room go for a walk leave your phone at home actually don't leave your phone at home just put it in your pocket because if you go for a walk and you fall down a hole you need to ring someone and you'll be going damn it i've left my phone at home so I don't read any social media and now I fell down a hole and I'm trapped so take the phone with you but don't look at social media then start thinking about things like this do I blame Amarim if he doesn't start Sesco well yeah because I want to see Sesco start but actually if he's fifth choice I don't think Amarim's going to be there going this is the player that I want you know maybe didn't maybe looks at Sesco and goes not really what I wanted I'll have to work with him on the training ground to get him to be what i want to be i was at the youtube event yesterday there was loads and loads of brands there i was speaking to people from nike and you know all all all sorts of from all around the world and i was speaking to somebody i won't tell you what what brand they were from or or anything like that but i was speaking to somebody from germany and they um big fan of the premier league but watch a lot of german football um frankfurt fan and they were saying, I don't think Sesco is going to work with you.

39:39And I said, tell me more. And he said, a good player, but doesn't score that many goals and don't think he suits the system you're trying to play him in. And I went, thanks for that. See you later. And I thought, you know, everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I said when we bought Sesco, I'm not, from what I've seen of Sesco, he doesn't strike me as this relentless runner who plays up front on his own, runs the channels, this, that and the other. So maybe Amrims took the advice of Favell, who has said he's still very young, he's a fantastic talent and he's going to be a brilliant player. And maybe Amrims gone, OK, right, you've convinced me, but it's going to take time for me to build him into what I want to be.

40:24And in the meantime, I've got to go what I trust. Maybe it's just that if he doesn't start Cesc going on Saturday's game or whenever, is because he's not where he wants him to be at the moment because it's not actually the striker he wanted, in which case you can't moan about that because it wasn't his plan A, it wasn't his plan B. Remember, De Laak was plan A, Jocheres was plan B, Eketike was plan C, Watkins we went for before Sesco as well, and maybe Osserman. So we were down the list. I like Sesco, but it's a little bit like all these people saying sack hammer him when ultimately he's lost to Arsenal and Man City who were better than us at the end of last season and spent more of us in the summer.

41:02So, you know, logically, surely they do beat us. And I would also keep it in your head. Arteta finished eighth and lost his first three games of the season the following season. And look at what's happening. I don't know. I don't know. If I could buy Amrim a year, I'd do it. If somebody said to me, you can fast forward a year and Amrim's still here, if you want to press the button, i'd say i don't really want to lose a year of my life but you know in a way can we just live the next 12 months but i know he's not going to get sacked of course you can better idea thanks uh because i don't want to go forward in 12 months and then someone says you know the wife's left me or something like that i'll try and stop that um so but no i would love to i would love to be able to just say amram's not getting sacked for the next 12 months and only you know it.

41:55Like, don't let Amrim know because he might not work hard, you know? I just think that the road less travelled has to be walked. And I'll be very, very fair here. If somebody said you can go back to Mourinho being in charge and give him another 12 months, I would do it. If somebody said you can go back to Ten Hag last year and give him 12 months, I would do it. If somebody said you can go back to Oli, no, actually, no, I wouldn't. Mourinho and Ten Hag, I would give another 12 months. Moyes, fuck off. Van Hall, no chance. Oli, I'd had enough. But Mourinho and Ten Hag, I would give another 12 months if I could.

42:34So I'd definitely give Amram another 12 months. No, you're going to have bloody 12 months. Bruno's missed penalty against Fulham. Costa's got us to Amram out. This is Trisham. And not marking Smith-Rowe as well. I mark it. It was my birthday on Tuesday. Thank you for what you do. Fancy a pro club's match against Sticky Banta. i haven't even got my pro clubs player going yet but i do want to do that i was planning on doing that on tuesday when i wasn't well but i just couldn't i couldn't get it up the hands and the controller so we'll get anything up and so i just watched the cario morning mark hope you're feeling better i've had the illness as well and just starting to recover just like yesterday i felt really good tuesday obviously i felt shit but i did the tuesday night show today i'm sort of back on full duties but it's just like just it's up and down like with the the energy levels patrick lynch is going to be up here with the voice of reason he says the recruitment strategy the recruitment strategy of the club obviously goes beyond amrin getting these young players suggest this as fans that want the team to do well now that's frustrating it makes wonder how in the austin amrin view his role yeah i think you're right i think there is this long-term strategy and then there's this short term let's not do anything so let's buy a midfielder that might be good in three years let's not buy a midfielder that we desperately need now and that's sort of where i'm with you patrick i'm sort of like i'm confused so we're just we're buying a lad from columbia that's not going to come to next year and might be good in three years and yet two months ago we didn't buy a midfielder we bloody need now and that sort of logic doesn't makes sense well done for the recruitment of young talented players but what the fuck are you doing about now you know and it's that contradiction and I think that's where PR and spin lives because you make a big deal about oh look at what we've done here and you sort of like and what about here and look going back to the striker situation we mustn't forget as much as I'm excited about Sesko and I know you are he was fifth choice as much as we want Lamens to do well he's a backup goalkeeper who was bought on the final day of the window we fucked up on the goalkeeper and we fucked up on the midfield and we potentially fucked up on the striker like the only two signings that you can say were really good was Mbamo and Cunha like I wouldn't argue about that I mean maybe we overpaid but they were good signings the others I think you would always if you wanted to find an issue with them and go well he wasn't even in the top three choices he's not even playing and he's a backup and we didn't get that I look at teams like Arsenal and Liverpool and I mean all right Liverpool might go with they wanted Getty and they didn't get him on the final day but bloody hell you know they did Arsenal did good business Chelsea did good business Man City and Newcastle did good business in the end you know they covered off a lot of areas uh I think this is going to be Bruno's last season at the club which will only be a good thing for Amidfields is Arch welcome back Marcus Sadiq thank you very much good to be back the king is back hope you're well Marcus is Evan thank you mate I'm getting there um Mr Jam says I just started reading that book storybook football the rebuild it's really deep and captivating i think you need to read it as well loving you and your managerial i need to write this down do you have you wrote the book mr jams because you're either very good at promoting something i've never even heard of this and how do they get to use me without asking the rebuild have a look at this and if you want to buy a book by the way fantastic book i was reading it while i was ill uh football according to mark goldbridge um very good on amazon uh alex hornby says hope you're well mainly should be coming on over a guard head on that one as well right let me just make sure i've covered off everything we were actually linked to another midfielder um i just got a little bit of other stuff to talk to you about so the sun gone downhill i mean it was already it's very difficult for the sun to go downhill because the sun is the equivalent of the bottom of the hill but with lookhurst there it's it goes down even further very desperate for clicks and views.

46:28I mean, I think going to the Sun and trying to get credibility is like the guy who stinks of shit getting a camel to shit on his head. I mean, it doesn't make any sense. But Manchester United were offered the chance to sign Conor Gallagher in the summer, but the club felt midfield wasn't a priority as they'd already had enough first-time midfielders. This is a story in the Sun, and yet credible people like Fabrizio and others will say Man United tried to go for Conor Gallagher, but they wouldn't let him go. Manchester United tried to go for Belayba but he was too expensive so that's not true is it?

46:59It's not true that Man United decided not to go for midfielders because they had enough they tried to go for players and didn't get them 17 year old Mohamed Dabu close to joining Man United after a successful trial of the club he was won over the club's management with his raw talents and maturity that was a story coming out from Africa but apparently according to Manchester Evening News that's not actually true reports claiming man united close to an agreement but davu are not true uh he's sung sungolese so that's not true apparently but christian orozco is um that is true um 17 year old becoming to man united when he's 18 quite similar to what happened with leon uh story about sancho potentially going on a permanent move to villa i mean things just go from bad to worse for villa don't they they really do uh mainly was prepared to leave me at iron in january if he doesn't get regular football well i don't even think that's uh it's not yeah you'd expect that to be true anyway wouldn't you okay um i think i'm on terry's channel at 10 uh 11 i just need to double check because he hasn't even messaged me about it but um football terrace at 11 o 'clock if you want to check out if that's there i haven't been able to check my messages just because I'm live.
