Reflections on FA Cup Final & 2022/23 Season

Ian Irving looks back over Manchester United's 2022/23 season with Andy Mitten and Laurie Whitwell, but sadly not Carl Anka.Andy and Laurie were at Wembley Stadium for Saturday's FA Cup Final. Unfortunately, Manchester City won the first ever Manchester Derby in that fixture, but after City's early goal it could have been worse. We had a post-match debrief with The Athletic's Manchester news reporter Mark Critchley.Carl was supposed to be on this show but it sounds like he's been having too much fun in Barcelona so the other three review the now-completed season and what that might mean for Erik Ten Hag's plans this summer.***• This is episode is sponsored by Athletic Greens.

Beautiful Bournemouth, Lovely Leigh: Heading for the Champions League
