Better Call Sa-ool: Unexpected Loan Rumours

Ian Irving hosts The Athletic's dedicated twice-weekly Manchester United podcast with expert guests Andy Mitten, Editor of United We Stand, and club correspondent Laurie Whitwell.

We've been talking about midfield reinforcements quite a lot lately, but there's been little mention of Atletico Madrid's Saul Niguez. Nevertheless, he's emerged as a potential recruit, but are Chelsea in the driving seat? And why is such a high status player available on loan?

We also take a trip back in time to remember 2011's thrashing of Arsenal, one which all but finished off the Gunners as a Premier League rival, take a quick look at cup draws, and hope for more excitement than usual at Molyneux.
