The Athletic FFC.

This is Talk the Devils, the Athletic Show, dedicated to Manchester United.

Coming up today, we preview a trip to Andy's favourite ground in the United Kingdom.

Yes, it's Bournemouth away coming up on Friday night.

That's why we're with you a little bit earlier on in the week,

so we'll preview that game of football in the

Premier League a few things to ponder for Michael Carrick may be ahead of that game so we'll take a

look at that and we'll also be having a look at the youth team as well it's the next round of the

f a youth cup later on on wednesday against sunderland that's the quarterfinals and andy has been

speaking to the

Academy Director Steve Torpe as well. So we'll have a chat about how that went. The article's

on the athletic already as well. So I need to say good morning to everyone. Carl is here.

Critch is here. Andy's here. We've actually got Chris McKenner joining us a little bit later on as

well. He was at the last round in the Youth Cup, and he's also been writing about the pilgrimage that Irish fans make across the Irish Sea to come and watch Manchester United on a regular basis. So there's lots of different things to talk about on that too. How are we all doing, all right? Yeah. Yeah, good. Tired. I used to get in at 8am in the morning and keep going and now I'm podcasting at this time. So this is tough for me. I've got to say. Okay. You're definitely replacing Laurie in every sense and form here, Critch, aren't you? Do you know what I mean? People are even talking about the little glow-up that you had ahead of the video record, which is one of Laurie's little things too. I don't know if we'll be seeing that jacket again, though. I don't think the lighting quite works in that studio. I like the jacket. I like the jacket. It worked. Yeah. Andy, how excited are you for Friday? It's a Friday night, in it? I mean, fair play at a club. I'm going to get on one of them three coaches down and I'm going to stay down there.

Born with a draw It's a Friday night, in it? I mean, fair play at the club. I'm going to get on one of them three coaches down,

and I'm going to stay down there.

Borma for drawing every game.

We'll talk more in depth about the game.

You're expecting me to slaughter a Borma for here, aren't you?

But I actually now know people who work at the club,

and I really like them.

Hence me asking the question.
