Mes Que Un Pod: Honours Even in Camp Nou
Carl Anka takes the helm with Andy Mitten and Laurie Whitwell joining him from the third tier of Camp Nou to digest a terrific first leg of the Europa League play-off tie between Manchester United and Barcelona.Marcus Rashford starred again, flipping the game on its head with a great goal and possible an even better assist, and we think Erik Ten Hag will be the happier manager despite taking exception to some refereeing decisions.***• Take your business to the next level and sign up today for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at shopify.com/reddevils Hosted on Acast.

Leeds Win Caps Great Weekend: Barcelona Next!
Laurie Whitwell (and his cat, Ron) makes a podcast comeback with Ian Irving and Andy Mitten (and his dog).Manchester United beat Leeds at the second time of asking with another goal from Marcus Rashford and one from the recently-criticised Alejandro Garnacho. It wasn't vintage football but it's a huge result, especially with so many rivals dropping points this weekend.As we speak the team, and the fans, are Barcelona-bound for the the first leg of the UEFA Europa League Play-off. It's not the competition you'd expect, or want, to see that fixture in but it's a much higher quality contest than either side might have expected at the start of the season. We've got the juice on the ins and outs of that game, and the host city.Produced by Ollie Bellwood.***• Building a bet just got easier!

Sancho Goal Drowns Out Disappointment of Leeds Draw
Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, and Carl Anka assemble under the eaves at Old Trafford with The Athletic's new boy Mark Critchley.It was a disappointing result, certainly, as visitors Leeds United caught Ten Hag's men cold, not once but twice! However, there was a warm glow in the air (and on Andy's face) after Marcus Rashford and the returning Jadon Sancho scored to salvage a draw.On that evidence, the trip to Elland Road will prove a tough test, but we're hoping one or two of the seven first team players who missed tonight's game will be available.Produced by Ollie Bellwood.

Casemiro was the main man once again, even scoring twice, and he's loving life in England.Everything's evolving nicely under Erik Ten Hag, and Carl's taken a close look at their development for The Athletic, but with Christian Eriksen facing some time out, how much will they miss him during a hectic February?Produced by Ollie Bellwood.***• Get 20% Off and FREE shipping with the code EPL23 at manscaped.com Hosted on Acast.

Weghorst Off the Mark as United Take Charge in EFL Cup Semi-Final
Ian Irving, Andy Mitten, and Carl Anka are in good spirits (in one case, quite literally) and we've added a musical twist to the show as we celebrate taking control of the EFL Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest.Taking a three goal lead into the home leg means Erik Ten Hag should be able to rotate his squad over the next few days. The optimism is flowing, so much so that we're not too downbeat about a slightly ominous financial report on Manchester United from The Athletic's Matt Slater.Produced by Ollie Bellwood.***• Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period to take your business to the next level at shopify.com/reddevils• Get a FREE 1 year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase at athleticgreens.com/devils Hosted on Acast.
