Stretty News - The Strettycast, Manchester United Podcasts

The Red Room is a brand new museum dedicated to Manchester United founded by a die-hard Finnish fan from Helsinki. His name is Jere Virtanen and I am delighted to have him on the Strettycast. There is also some chat beforehand on Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek - following confirmed interest from Manchester United.

This week Dale & Mike discuss Saul Niguez's bluff and Odion Ighalo's loan extension. The game we focus on turns out to be Mark Hughes' most important match ever, as Manchester United won the European Cup Winners Cup against Barcelona's 'Dream Team'. 1991 saw United represent English football clubs in the European CWC for the first time after a 5-year ban saw English clubs excluded from European competition following the Heysel disaster. Hughes, who features in this week's Icons of Old Trafford piece, scored twice in a hard-fought battle with this arguably being Sir Alex Ferguson's most important victory. The Scot was back in terms of European success and United had announced themselves before eventually dominating English football.

We are delighted to have special guest Luke Chadwick on today's show. The former Manchester United academy graduate speaks about his time at Old Trafford, Roy Keane setting the highest of standards, being sent on loan to Belgium as a young lad, and the most expensive cup of soup he ever paid for after getting the hairdryer treatment from former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

On this week's Strettycast with Mike, we discuss the triumphant 1977 FA Cup final when a 2-1 win ensured that the unprecedented treble would lie untouched for another 22 years. Liverpool had already won the league and they'd go onto win the European Cup too, beating Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 in Rome. Manchester United won. All three goals came in a crazy five-minute period early in the second half after a non-event first half. Stuart Pearson opened the scoring when he latched onto a long ball forward. Liverpool equalised through Jimmy Case soon after, but three minutes later United regained the lead when Lou Macari's shot deflected off team-mate Jimmy Greenhoff's chest. Jimmy's brother, Brian, was reportedly given the wrong medal after the match. So too was Arthur Albiston. We also discuss the latest on RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner.

This Monday I am joined by former ManUtd.com journalist Nathan Thomas to talk about his time at Old Trafford and what's he up to now. We chat about the responsibilities he had as a reporter whilst working at the club, how United managed themselves online, and a funny story about how he held two bags of clothing for a former United player in his briefs! It's quite interesting to hear Thomas' experiences with David Gill, who helped him land the job in the first place, and then how he only met Ed Woodward once during his time as an employee at the club. I really enjoyed this conversation with Thomas, a lad I've known since starting Stretty News in 2010. You will get a feel for what it was like being a reporter at Old Trafford in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era and how the club had to give up on a previous podcast attempt because the results on the pitch under David Moyes brought so much negativity. Hopefully you enjoy it too! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad

A new week, still very much in lockdown. There's constant talk about the Premier League making a return and people are debating endlessly about whether it's safe or not. Some of it doesn't even make sense.Anyhow, we have something different on the podcast this week. Stretty News columnist Paul Rowles joins us to discuss his latest Ramblings. We discuss whether there is a need to sign a centre-back this summer, if Ferguson actually contributed to United's fall from grace, and Louis van Gaal taking some responsibility.That is followed by a quick chat with Barcelona fan Navid Molaaghaei about La Masia's latest star Marc Jurado, who is about to join Manchester United!

This week Dale and Mike discuss a lot of politics as well as Marcos Rojo breaking lockdown rules and enjoying a smoke with friends in Argentina. We also take a look at the United trinity or, as Mike says, Manchester United's very own Led Zeppelin. George Best, Denis Law and Sir Bobby Charlton in the same team was something special. The Strettycast wants your all-time Manchester United XI - but take the instructions on board from this podcast. There must be a reason for your choices - not just the best player in each position to have played for the club.

This is an interview that we are very proud of, and we've had to do it using FaceTime rather than face-to-face due to the current situation in the world with COVID-19. However, it was an absolute pleasure to have a chat with former Manchester United goalkeeper Alex Stepney on Thursday morning. We talk about his introduction to football (being told he wouldn't make it) and becoming a European Cup winner in 1968, being part of the first English team to do so and beating a Eusebio-driven Benfica side. That was an incredible dressing room to be part of under the guidance of Sir Matt Busby and Jimmy Murphy. Alex is very open, easy to talk to and we are thrilled he took some time out of his day to chat to us. I hope you enjoy it. Support Stretty News on Patreon: Patreon.com/strettynews Hosted on Acast.

The BBC ran a poll asking readers to vote for the best British football manager.
