Jul 4, 202401:28:51Tap to summarizeDale and Brian are joined by Shaun from Theatre of Red to discuss Manchester United's transfer approach this summer.Ineos plan to make more changes at the club and we will likely see a new approach to transfers and identifying targets.The lads feel strongly about buying players of the right profile and they are not necessarily ready-made stars. Perhaps United need to step away from targeting marque signings to focus on talent determined to be successful.It helps that Dan Ashworth has finally arrived as sporting director.Meanwhile, Matthijs de Ligt has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United and Fulham lead the race to sign Scott McTominay.We also look at the prospect of Manchester United selling the naming rights to Old Trafford.

199: Gunners shoot down wounded Reds
May 14, 202401:36:08Tap to summarizeOn this week’s episode of the Strettycast we analyse the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, plus Barmy Article editor Andy Slator joins us to talk about the women’s team winning the FA Cup over the weekend.Title-chasing Arsenal edged past United at Old Trafford on Sunday as Erik ten Hag’s side fell to their 14th league defeat of the season. There is a growing acceptance that United have not got the players to compete in these fixtures, but that doesn’t make the 4-0 defeat against Crystal Palace any better.Casemiro is attracting more criticism with every game he plays at centre-back. It’s only getting worse but his days at Old Trafford are numbered.Sir Jim Ratcliffe was at Old Trafford for the game to carry out a matchday survey. This somehow led to criticism for the co-owner, who had plenty to say to an Old Trafford employee ahead of the game. He would not have been impressed to see the roof leaking again. David Moyes or Marc SkinnerAlthough the women’s team made history by winning the club’s first-ever major trophy, Marc Skinner isn’t very popular among fans after performances dropped from a cliff after an impressive 2022/23 campaign.The jury appears to be out on Skinner even after winning the FA Cup final. We also discuss the revisionism about former manager Casey Stoney.Slator also spoke to us about a memorable day out at Wembley with United beating Tottenham 4-0. Avram Glazer was in attendance, but not Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Apr 15, 202401:07:31Tap to summarizeDale and Brian dwell on Manchester United's 2-2 draw at Bournemouth, the added drama that came from social media after the game and dressing room bickering.United were lucky to escape with a point from the Vitality Stadium on Sunday and the result means our Champions League hopes are barely hanging by a thread.That result only puts more pressure on Erik ten Hag, so the lads question whether the writing is on the wall for United's manager.The lads also look forward to a trip to Wembley this weekend where United take on Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final.Dale and Brian would like to thank our listeners for their continued support plus the questions submitted for each episode.
