Rio is joined by his former team mate Phil Jones alongside Joel Beya on this episode where the trio delve into reasons for the club’s decline over the past decade, hearing from the man who straddled Sir Alex Ferguson’s final years and the decade after he left.
They discuss the aura of managers like Jose Mourinho, the importance of players like Jonny Evans and how few current players could deal with the pressure of that United dressing room, save for a couple of significant exceptions.
Rio suggests Erik Ten Hag should look to develop and improve his communication in the media and the two former centre-halves analyse the current structure and tactics of the side.
Plus Phil reveals what happened in his first meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson and how Mourinho tore into him after returning to the club from international duty.
