In your podcatchers a day earlier than planned, it's a transfer junkie special (especially for Andy) with news that Bruno has decided to stay at Old Trafford top of the shop.

Meanwhile, the Matheus Cunha deal is done and another right-sided forward impressing in the Premier League, Bryan Mbeumo, also wants to join the club (that's according to our colleague David Ornstein).

The price tags on those two forwards presumably requires some transfer income. We have a think about all the candidates but especially Jadon Sancho after Chelsea decided to take a £5m hit rather than progress his loan deal to a permanent transfer.

After a few extra days, the season we all want to forget is finally over. Not that that means there's no news.

Matheus Cunha looks poised to become a Manchester United player, but might it be one Portuguese speaker for another with Bruno Fernandes apparently giving consideration to a hefty contract offer from Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal.

And, while the post-season tour wasn't the most eventful in the club's history, there was certainly plenty to pick through. Luckily for us, Laurie has been on location to report on a defeat and a late rally on the field as well as some interesting extracurricular happenings.

It's our first podcast since the calamities of Bilbao, and we're not just talking about the football. Who is responsible for the series of events which led to leaving hundreds, maybe thousands, of fans stranded in a city that had essentially closed for business?

Ruben Amorim's future had even seemed up in the air after that game, but it seems he has been reassured of his future by Manchester United's execs. He used the authority lent him by this vote of confidence to give Alejandro Garnacho marching orders. The Argentinian winger, and his entourage, were publicly critical of the head coach, which appears to have crossed a line. Fan reaction was mixed.

The team went on to play Champions League chasers Aston Villa on Sunday before jetting off to Asia. The clean sheet and comfortable victory at Old Trafford was met with raised eyebrows as much as anything else, but Amorim addressed the crowd to a positive reaction... Now for the difficult part.
