Stretty News - The Strettycast, Manchester United Podcasts

A chat about Manchester United with Dale O'Donnell and Shaun Connolly. The two lads share their thoughts on Manchester United's 1-0 win over West Ham in the Premier League for the latest episode of the Strettycast. Rashford took the headlines AGAIN, with his last-minute winner as United climbed into the top four, and regular listeners will understand how that makes us feel. Later on in this episode, Shaun raises a valid argument about United's future at right-back and why we should be keeping an eye on Bournemouth between now and end of the season. Dale stresses that the damage is done for Martial, even after making an impact from the bench in Saturday's win at Old Trafford. We answer a range of listener questions, so keep them coming throughout the international break. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

On the latest Strettycast, Dale and Shaun discuss the 3-1 win over little old Brentford. It was United's 300th away win in the Premier League and Thomas Frank had a chip on his shoulder at full-time. The Brentford manager weirdly name-checked Jadon Sancho, who wasn't in the squad, and claimed that his side destroyed United. We take a deeper look into David de Gea's performances this season - after another 'standout' display between the sticks. Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford got the goal he needed and Dale explains why Alex Telles deserves credit over Diogo Dalot. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dale is joined again by Shaun to review Manchester United's latest game - a disappointing 2-2 draw away to Aston Villa. United held a 2 goal lead thanks to a brace from Bruno Fernandes, but that was before Philippe Coutinho came off the bench to make an instant impact on his Villa debut. Too many individual mistakes allowed Villa back into a game that United should've won - from the position they held at 2-0 - but we bottled it. Anthony Martial didn't bother showing up - and we discuss the circus surrounding that... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

"What is wrong with Marcus Rashford?" That was probably the most frequently asked question as fans left Old Trafford on Monday night, after Manchester United knocked Aston Villa out of the FA Cup. The England international is not playing well and his body language is completely off at the moment, but sadly that has brought a surge of ill-advised opinions on the United star. Dale and Shaun discuss recent claims made by former Manchester United assistant manager Steve McClaren - and both believe Rashford will soon be back to his best.

Manchester United are reportedly in crisis mode and Ed Woodward is getting the blame. On this week's podcast, Dale speaks about the job at hand for Ralf Rangnick, which has been made more difficult by unhappy players in the dressing room - not to mention the incompetent board he will work with for the following 2 years. United lost 1-0 against Wolves on Monday and crisis reports followed shortly after. Dale also makes a list of the players that should be sold/moved on this month or in the summer. Hosted on Acast.

Some apprehension over Ralf Rangnick's imminent appointment as well as lots of excitement. Dale is joined by Brain, back from his travels to Villarreal midweek and about to set off again for Chelsea away on Sunday, to discuss our new manager for the remainder of the season. There are uncertain times ahead with the German set to move upstairs at the end of the season, then signing a 2-year contract as a consultant on football matters. Includes a review from Villarreal, heavy-handed Spanish coppers and offensive 'Red Army' flags. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

We are joined by prominent voice of the fans, the fantastic Pete Boyle to talk about Eric Cantona. Excellent anecdotes included. Considered by many to be the most important signing in the history of Manchester United, Cantona is the definition of a man who came, saw and conquered all before him. His legacy at United is littered with an array of talking points that extend beyond his footballing ability. Graced with an elegance that the footballing world has seldom seen, the Frenchman captivated many with his grace and charismatic persona. This interview was hosted by Shaun Connolly.

On this episode of the Strettycast, Dale looks at the Manchester derby and where Manchester United go from here. The manager's position will be the talk of the international break but, as of now, the Glazers are showing no indication that they are ready to pull the plug. Thanks to our listeners for this week's round of questions. I hope you enjoy the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dale O'Donnell chats with Brian Murphy about his long trip to Atalanta. Well, it probably felt longer for him than anyone else traveling out of Dublin Airport on Tuesday morning to see the Reds play in Europe. This is a bonus episode from our review of the 2-2 draw away at Atalanta. Massive kudos to Brian for joining us this week. Enjoy Villarreal and don't miss that flight! Hosted on Acast.

All the talk after Tuesday night's 2-2 draw was about how Cristiano Ronaldo was papering over the cracks at Manchester United. Daniel Nardiello strongly disagrees - but that is not to say all is well at Old Trafford, as Dale O'Donnell explains on the show. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is on the brink heading into the Manchester derby, but recent results against Tottenham and Atalanta will give him a little boost before facing the current champions. Man City go into the game without a centre-forward but have plenty of attacking players to hurt us, especially with Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof sidelined through injury.

From The Archives - with Shaun and James from StrettyNews.com. Wayne Rooney is Manchester United's all-time leading scorer and the only player to have scored 250 goals for the Reds. He hung up his boots at the age of 35 and currently manages Derby County, so the lads take a look back to his time at Old Trafford after bursting onto the scene at Everton. We decided to focus on Rooney because he will undoubtedly go down in history as one of United's - and, indeed, English football's - greatest-ever forwards. Rooney has won everything he could have in a Manchester United shirt. Born in the Croxteth suburb of Liverpool, he grew up supporting Everton. It was evident from an extremely early age that he would never be far from a football. He excelled for Liverpool Schoolboys - scoring a record breaking 72 goals in the 1996-97 season, a record that stood until 2010. With performances of this magnitude, he would inevitably attract much attention. "Remember the name - Wayne Rooney!" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pri

On the Strettycast this week, we discuss how the international break went for Manchester United after losing Raphael Varane to a groin injury for a few weeks. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has some big games coming up and neither Dale or Nards are confident about Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly forming a pairing at the back. Leicester City will be out to sniff blood but so will Atalanta, Liverpool, Tottenham and Man City in upcoming fixtures. Hopefully the players got the rest they needed during the break and are refreshed for a big domestic run. Voices: Dale O'Donnell and former Manchester United academy graduate Daniel Nardiello.

Dale O'Donnell is joined by Shaun Connolly to look back on Manchester United's 2-1 win over Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League. The Reds didn't perform well and more questions are asked of the football we are seeing under Solskjaer, though the result on the night shouldn't be underestimated as Villarreal have long proved to be a tricky opponent. Diogo Dalot had a night to form but could more have been done, at least tactically, to support the under pressure Portuguese full-back? David de Gea had his best performance in years and the manager thought he was the best goalkeeper in the world (again) on Wednesday night. The next episode will be recorded after United take on Everton at the weekend. Get in touch with the show via email: dale@strettynews.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is the Strettycast, a podcast dedicated to Manchester United, hosted by Dale O'Donnell who is joined by former academy graduate Daniel Nardiello. Another downbeat episode after a poor result losing 1-0 at home to Aston Villa. One again, a team wearing Claret and Blue came to Old Trafford to pull off a smash-and-grab win. This time we dropped three points - not just a place in the Carabao Cup. The next visitors will be Villarreal and we all still have memories from that night in Gdansk. They don't play for draws but have drawn five of their first six matches in La Liga. While they would love to come and get a point, a draw wouldn't be enough for United after losing their first UEFA Champions League game of the season away to Young Boys. Enjoy the podcast!

From George Best and Willie Morgan to David Beckham and Cristiano, Shaun Connolly begins his From The Archives series for the Strettycast by looking back at the iconic number 7s to play for Manchester United. Author and lifelong Red, Pete Molyneux, recalls watching Best and gives us a lesson on how the number 7 became iconic at Old Trafford - players who would entertain the crowds.

Manchester United have played West Ham twice since our last recording - winning 2-1 win in the Premier League and losing 1-0 in the Carabao Cup. This means Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side has managed 13 points from the first five league matches of the season, but they've also crashed out of the League Cup prematurely - and everyone knows the manager needs a trophy. Dale is joined by former academy graduate Daniel Nardiello to discuss the games and several performers. Cristiano Ronaldo made it 3 goals in 4 games at the weekend before Jesse Lingard and David de Gea took the headlines after a memorable trip to London, but it wasn't a night to remember at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Saturday's early kick-off will see United aiming to get back to winning ways and to stay within reach of first place in the Premier League table. Donny van de Beek and Jadon Sancho got a chance in the cup and both performed well - but hear what the lads had to say on the Strettycast. Get in touch with the podcast by emailing: dale@strettyn

The atmosphere at Old Trafford was something else on Saturday for Cristiano Ronaldo’s homecoming, so Dale is joined by two guests to talk about the 4-1 win over Newcastle United and the drab 2-1 defeat away to Young Boys.   Brian Murphy and Shaun Connolly give their thoughts immediately after the final whistle in Switzerland, and we’ll have a separate podcast later this week with Daniel Nardiello to get his usual insight as a former academy graduate at Manchester United.   It went very wrong against Young Boys but, despite what you see across social media, nobody on this podcast is calling for the manager’s head. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is doing a good job, but he needs to do a great job.   Expectations are as high as they could be even after a hiccup in the Champions League – because that’s what we believe it is… rather than a repeat of last year’s campaign, when United crashed into the Europa League.   Europa League Varane doesn’t quite have the same ring to it!   Put your feet up or prepare for your commute e

A balanced but insightful chat between Dale O'Donnell, Daniel Nardiello and Jonathan Shrager after the summer transfer window shut. In this episode we discussed Cristiano Ronaldo's return to the club and expectations for the coming season after securing 7 points from the opening three matches of the Premier League season. The glaring issues that existed a week ago remain despite the arrival of Ronaldo, so Dale asks the lads whether the business done over the summer is enough to see United compete for the Premier League title. And Shrager makes a very valid point on that - about what people think when they say 'challenge'. Nards tells us what it was like being at United when Ronaldo first joined the club, as a skinny 18-year-old from Sporting Lisbon.

In this episode Nards, Shaun and I discuss the 1-1 draw against Southampton at the weekend. Was it a reality check? Even without our new marquee signings signing, the glaring issues won't be addressed until Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gets the midfield he wants. We analyse the decision to shift Mason Greenwood out wide on the right to accommodate Anthony Martial, kneejerk reactions from social media, implications for Donny van de Beek if Saul Niguez joins before deadline day, Declan Rice's situation and Gary Neville's obsession with Harry Kane. Nards, as a former striker that came through the United academy, shows how all he can see is goals - like a true goalscorer.

In this episode Dale, Shaun and Joe discuss the opening game of the new Premier League season after Manchester United beat Leeds 5-1. We chat about Mason Greenwood's future as United's number 9, optimism as we start the new campaign, Scott McTominay's evolution, needing a defensive midfielder, the right wing and whether the Reds can mount a title challenge. As well as some listener questions about Edinson Cavani, Victor Lindelof and new signing Raphael Varane.
