In this episode of It’s Called Soccer, Rebecca Lowe and Gary Neville are joined by Hollywood star and Liverpool superfan Michael Fassbender for a jam-packed episode covering everything from Manchester United’s future to the Club World Cup’s billion-dollar prize fund!

We kick things off with Manchester United’s rebuild under Sir Jim Ratcliffe—what’s next for Old Trafford? Gary reacts to Ratcliffe’s plans, the potential stadium rebuild, and whether Ruben Amirom is the right man to lead United forward.

Next, we dive into football’s biggest money moves, including FIFA’s controversial Club World Cup prize fund—is a billion dollars too much? Plus, could we see a Super Bowl-style halftime show at the World Cup?

Then, Gary Neville calls out The Sidemen—is a crossover event with The Overlap on the cards? Rebecca and Gary discuss YouTube football’s growing influence and whether The Sidemen should step up to the challenge.

MLS legend Dax McCarty joins the show to talk all things Major League Soccer—how has the league evolved, and is LA Galaxy’s dominance officially over?

Finally, Michael Fassbender shares his incredible Klopp & Van Dijk stories, his love for Liverpool, and what he really thinks of the club’s next chapter after Jurgen Klopp.
