The Promised Land | A Manchester United Podcast

Scott Saunders

The Promised Land is a Manchester United podcast brought to you by football journalist, editor and presenter Scott Saunders talking all the latest on the biggest club in England. Taking an approach of "never too high, never too low", a phrase coined by TPL's former co-host, the late Rob Blanchette, the show aims to bring an element of calmness and measured analysis on what we see on and off the pitch in relation to United. Scott has the unique insight of being a fan of the club for 30 years and working in the football media scene for over a decade, and will often endeavour to bring an alternative eye and critical thinking to what's being reported. There's no shouting or over the top reactions, but instead level-headed conversation on all the latest topics for every United fan to enjoy.

Adam Joseph rejoins TPL to look back on the pre-season friendly against PSG, the lessons to take from it and what kind of team Man Utd are developing into under Michael Carrick. There's also a focus on Marcus Rashford's impending return - looking at the incredible depth United have in attack compared to their rivals if he stays, and what a relatively unplanned reintegration for Rashford means for United's financial position and summer transfer plans - has that unplanned cost delayed them in the market to this point?

I'm Giving Marcus Rashford Another Chance at Man Utd - Here's Why
Having revisited Marcus Rashford's interview from last year, I came away with a different perspective. Rather than focusing on individual moments or performances, this episode looks at what Rashford had to say about Manchester United's lack of long-term direction, constant managerial changes and the absence of a clear footballing identity. Many of the frustrations he described were shared by supporters at the time, but with another year having passed—and significant cultural changes taking place under the current football leadership—is it time to reassess Rashford's situation? I discuss where I think he was right, where I disagree, why the cultural reset at Manchester United has been so important, and what Rashford would have to prove if he is to earn another opportunity at the club. This isn't about ignoring the criticisms of his performances or attitude. It's about asking whether there is now a genuine opportunity for Marcus Rashford to come back into a very different Manchester United. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hall Transfer Not Expected, Baleba Injured & Tchouameni Set to Stay | What Now for Man Utd?
Setbacks all around for Man Utd in the transfer market in the last 24 hours?? Rodri's decision to join Barcelona over Real Madrid was unexpected and Scott Saunders explains how that directly impacts any hope Man Utd will have had of signing Aurelien Tchouameni - is the deal now completely dead? Carlos Baleba - a midfield alternative - has picked up an injury, and the thoughts on Lewis Hall joining United this month are not positive all around. So what now? Scott runs through why he thinks United WILL act in the transfer window before it closes but also acknowledges that business MUST be done in order for United to compete in this episode of TPL.

Transfer Latest: Vitek & Bayindir Sold, Zirkzee to Juventus? Man Utd Start Selling
Manchester United's transfer window continues to gather pace, with major developments around Joshua Zirkzee, Radek Vítek and Altay Bayındır leaving. In this episode, Scott Saunders reacts to reports that Juventus are stepping up their pursuit of Zirkzee and discusses why his departure could be the key to United signing another striker before the transfer window closes. There's also a look at United's deal to sell Radek Vítek to Middlesbrough, including the initial fee, add-ons, sell-on clause, matching rights and buy-back option, as well as Bayındır's loan move to Celta Vigo and why it finally brings an end to a nightmare goalkeeping chapter. There's also the latest on Marcus Rashford's future, what Bruno Guimarães' move away from Newcastle could mean for Lewis Hall and whether a precedent has now been set for United's long-standing left-back target.

Mason Mount as the 'Third Midfielder' & the Lewis Hall Briefings - What's Going On?
So, what if Man Utd don't do anything else this summer? What if they actually do keep Mason Mount as the third midfielder and not sign another one? What if Lewis Hall is too expensive and they don't sign a left back? Scott Saunders addresses the latest doomerisms around Man Utd's transfer window and lack of recent activity. Also discussed is why it's important to control the media narrative - or just not feed it at all - and why United are changing behaviour in the market for the good of themselves.

8 Long-Term Problems That Held Man Utd Back - And the Progress in Fixing Them | w/ Adam Joseph
For over a decade, Manchester United haven't just been missing one or two players – they've been battling deeper structural problems that have repeatedly held the club back. In this episode, Adam Joseph joins the podcast to assess the biggest long-term issues that have defined United since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, and whether INEOS and the current football leadership are finally fixing them. The discussion covers culture, recruitment, financial discipline, the wage structure, midfield balance, athleticism, leadership, squad depth, player sales, football identity and more, with each area assessed based on how much progress has actually been made. Rather than focusing on one transfer or one result, this is a broader look at where Manchester United really are as a football club—and whether the foundations are finally being put in place to compete for major honours again.

The Rodri to Real Madrid Domino: A New Chance for Man Utd & Tchouameni?
Real Madrid are FINALLY moving for Rodri - but what does this mean for Manchester United?Could the deal for Aurelien Tchouameni have life in it yet? Or is his (as yet unsigned?) new contract confirming that the race is over? How will he react to the signing of Rodri is a key question - and one that Scott Saunders explores in this episode of TPL. Scott looks at the wages in the Frenchman's new deal and why they actually were over reported in the first place, and how that could suit United - but there's also a look at the other scenarios that could come out of this. Will Madrid force out Camavinga? Will United pivot to Carlos Baleba? Are the cheaper reported targets like Tyler Adams likely to happen? Get in the comments!

The £6m Harry Amass Valuation & Why Letting Welbeck Join Chelsea Is a Mistake
Scott Saunders returns to outline that what Manchester United need to do in the remaining 5 weeks of the transfer window and digs into the reports from the last 24 hours around United's transfer business. There's an extended talk about the future of Harry Amass, who could leave the club on a permanent deal, and look into the incredibly low potential fee they could receive in exchange - a measly £6m. Scott looks into why it's so low and what United simply have to do to make the deal worth it. There's also a look at Chelsea's move for Danny Welbeck - who would really be a perfect fit for what Man Utd need from a back up striker at this moment in time.

Lisandro Martinez Injured AGAIN? Can & Should Man Utd Sign a New Centre Back?
Lisandro Martinez has suffered another injury in the World Cup Final, raising fresh questions about his long-term availability and whether Manchester United can continue planning around him. This episode reacts to the latest setback, what it means for Michael Carrick's squad, and whether the club now has to seriously consider replacing him - and whether they CAN and SHOULD spend big on a centre back THIS SUMMER in order to fix the problem. There is discussion on why that isn't necessarily the most simple thing to do - given the need in other positions - and there's a run through of why it's a careful balancing act of prioritising a number of different things in the defence as the squad evolves - with Ayden Heaven and Leny Yoro's futures a big part of it.

How Many More Signings Do Man Utd Need? Why Carlos Baleba Makes So Much Sense w/ Adam Joseph
Manchester United have made progress this summer, but the squad still does not look complete. In this episode, Scott is joined by Adam Joseph to go position by position through the depth chart, looking at where United are now covered, where the squad still looks light, and what still needs to happen before the window can really be considered a success. There is discussion on the left-back situation, whether another addition is needed there, and why centre-midfield still feels like the one area that demands another major signing. The conversation turns into a passionate case for Carlos Baleba, why his profile makes so much sense, and why United still need a defensive, athletic, ground-covering midfielder who can win the ball back, carry it, and pass it. The episode also looks at how complete the squad really is, what the remaining priorities should be, and why one more big midfield move could make a huge difference to United’s ceiling this season.

Tuchel Proves He Was Never Right for Man Utd & New Signings Reaction w/ Adam Joseph
England’s World Cup exit has brought fresh scrutiny on Thomas Tuchel, and this episode argues that Manchester United were right not to go down that road.

The second half then turns back to Manchester United, with reaction to the signings of Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos, what both players bring to the squad, and why the club’s midfield rebuild is starting to take shape in a very different way.
