Ian Irving is your host for The Athletic's dedicated Manchester United podcast, with the inside track on the Cristiano Ronaldo transfer and the rest of the week's news provided by club correspondent Laurie Whitwell and United We Stand Editor Andy Mitten.

There was also the small matter of a Premier League fixture with a 1-0 win at Wolves which, while not entirely impressive, did make it 28 games unbeaten on the road.
