| 0:00.0 | Rooney. Still Rooney. Henry Larson! There is the fairy tale. A goal for Henry Larson and his |
| 0:14.6 | Manchester United debut in the FA Cup. Gets it back from Larson. More reverse pass Larson. |
| 0:22.9 | It's his second Manchester United goal and it's a brilliantly work goal as well. |
| 0:29.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the Manchester United podcast. Just the two of us today |
| 0:35.0 | I'm Helen Evans. I'm Sam Hoemwood. Macy is missing. Not literally missing but he's missing |
| 0:42.0 | from the podcast. He's driving, I think, isn't he? He's driving. He's been playing golf. |
| 0:47.0 | Shock. Who did you tell me was playing golf with? Lee Martin. He's driving back from somewhere. |
| 0:56.0 | So he's not joining us today. How are you, Sam? I'm very good, thank you. This was very |
