Red Devil Rants: A Manchester United Podcast

The World Cup has brought drama on and off the pitch. We cover the latest controversies, celebrate Cape Verde’s inspiring campaign and what it means for Africans football. We debate which styles of play deserve admiration and which simply go too far. We also examine Manchester United’s transfer activity. Is there genuine cause for concern, or is patience the smarter approach? Finally, we reveal th...

FREE KOBBIE!! Or maybe not, is it actually a bad thing if Kobbie doesn't play for England? Also, Elliot Anderson and City's fraudulent wage structure; are England flattering to deceive and does Ugarte's injury make United more or less likely to get extra midfield reinforcements?

In this episode, we start with the UK’s shift to a new Prime Minister and ask the completely unserious but strangely compelling question: Does national stability secretly depend on Manchester United being stable too? From there, we dive into United agreeing to film an All or Nothing documentary and whether this makes Carrick a yes‑man for the board after Amorim famously refused. Do the club genuin...

The World Cup is well and truly underway and it's all quiet on the United front, so we're talking hate watches, crappy cameramen and our thoughts so far. We'll also touch on England's misfortunes before they've even kicked a ball, footballers who are bald by choice and why we wouldn't have Vinicius Jr at United. Then to wrap it up the only real movement at United so far...d...

In this episode, we kick things off by asking whether Rashford subtly threw shade at United after thanking every man, woman and household pet for his England World Cup call‑up… except United. We break down United’s surprisingly electric performance in what should’ve been a dead‑rubber against Brighton and debate whether Bruno’s record‑breaking assist should have stood. We look at whether that matc...

Third place secured. Carrick’s impact has not only stabilised United’s season but earned him the chance to lead the project long-term. We also reflect on Casemiro’s farewell and the impact of a player who brought leadership, mentality and big-game experience to United. Beyond Old Trafford, the Premier League itself is beginning to reshape, with Pep’s departure and multiple managerial appointments...

In this episode, we start with the chaos in Spain and ask whaton earth is happening at Real Madrid before turning to Sunderland vs United and why it felt like footballing melatonin. Was it Carrick’s five changes or have the players mentally checked out with nothing left to play for? We dig into whether Mount and Zirkzee quietly auditioned for the exit door and wonder if Bruno will break the assist...

THE CHAMPIOOOOOOONS!! This season main objective was secured thanks to a tricky 3-2 win over Liverpool, where United almost orchestrated their own downfall! This episode we revel in the victory; wonder if United can ever be good at more than just counter attacking and ask whether Amorim had a personal grudge against Kobbie Mainoo?

A week of endurance and progression, from London Marathon new records to another important United win over Brentford.

Then it’s time to talk about Aiden Heaven , how good he really was, address why United fans keep comparing him to Yoro and whether the hype is justifi...

What's the perfect way to end a 24 day wait for football? We wouldn't know because all we got was a stale display, a red card and a loss at home to one of our fiercest rivals! Once again it seems like the loss was more an exposure of familiar weaknesses than a freak result and it brings its own questions. Should Carrick have tried something more radical than just switching Ugarte for the i...

The international break gave us time to reflect and also a moment to laugh at how Arsenal have once again fallen short for silverware. Could the league be next to slip away? We discuss and predict. We break down United’s final seven fixtures, expected points return, and where things stand in what we expect to see from Carrick as the potential long-term manager.

In this episode, we dig into the soul of the modern game: is football still a working‑class sport, or has the pathway shifted beyond recognition? We question whether academies are being run the wrong way. Should clubs be nurturing their best youth instead of cashing in early? We look at whether international friendlies actually translate into World Cup form and whether France has a brewing defensi...

Horrendous refereeing from Stuart Atwell meant we only took a point against the Cherries...but did Carrick get his selection wrong? Should Sesko have started? Does his rotation put him behind other choices in the race to manage United? Plus, we talk,the Carabao Cup final, being linked with TWO Newcastle midfielders and the all-important question...Scarface or the Godfather?

United recover from the disappointment of a 10-man defeat, with Carrick guiding the team to a needed win at home to Villa. This result and 4 point gap keeps Champions League ambitions alive, but also raises an important question "is this form sustainable heading into next season?”

In this episode, we take a wild tour through the world offootball and beyond: can Sam Allardyce actually save the world, and should footballers ever be allowed near a film set? We dig into the eternal need for a team scapegoat, asking whether Dalot is United’s latest, whether Malacia tookthe fall after the Newcastle loss, and if Dalot would be loved more as a backup. We tackle the heavy stuff too:...

Following a slightly laboured 2-1 win over Crystal Palace we celebrate Big Ben Sesko and ask whether Lacroix should have seen red and if we are still waiting to learn something about Michael Carrick tactically? Then we turn to the table, breaking down our chances against a poor but tricky Newcastle side and whether or not we can take advantage of Villa playing Chelsea, whatever the result a win fo...

United grind out an important win, thanks to yet another impactful cameo from super sub Benjamin Šeško and the safe hands of Senna Lammens. The gap to third is closing, and suddenly the league picture looks far more interesting. In this episode, we evaluate the team form, whether Carrick should start or not start Sesko, where this team can realistically finish and decide who takes our Player of th...

13 days without football...it's unthinkable!! With no FA Cup to *ahem* distract us, we take stock of Carrick's five games in charge so far, and whether or not four wins in five has us looking at Amorim differently? Plus, with Tuchel and Enrique seemingly off the table what are United's managerial options? And would the Brentford managerial model work at United? Finally we discuss Jim R...

Three wins on the spin under Carrick. Not perfect against Fulham, with a hint of complacency, but the United DNA is roaring back. Impactful subs, confidence flowing, belief building, tougher tests are around the corner. For now, we enjoy the energy Carrick-ball is bringing back to the United family.

This week’s episode we ask the big questions: are United’s endless training rondos finally working? And just how euphoric are United players after turning the Emirates into their personal dancefloor yet again? Meanwhile, Arsenal supporters are dusting off the “crisis mode” banners, and honestly… it’s great entertainment. We break down Cunha’s emergence, the return of long‑range screamers, and the...

WE'RE SO BACK...until we aren't! This week we bask in the warm afterglow of our most comprehensive Derby victory since who knows when, and why some United fans reactions are making Flowz feel like a Grinch!
