Summary

In this episode look back at the final pre-season game, the 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao on Saturday. We saw both Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz on the scoresheet, netting goals you might have expected the other to score, as well as one from Bukayo Saka whose pre-season comes in for some discussion. We chat a lot about Martin Zubimendi's performance, and how our new look midfield is shaping up ahead of the new season, as well as Ethan Nwaneri's new deal. Then we answer listener questions about how we deal with a more direct style of play, which striker will start at Old Trafford as well as which players won't even make the squad, the pressure on Mikel Arteta to deliver silverware this season after three successive second place finishes, and lots more.
