Summary
Since our last podcast, Jose Mourinho has been talking. A lot. Gab Marcotti, Oli Kay and Stewart Robson attempt to dissect Mourinho’s words, including his summer strategy, his Sevilla summary and whether or not Luke Shaw is being bullied.
Away from Old Trafford, we look at the FA Cup quarter-finals, Sparky’s return to Southampton and Gareth Southgate’s England squad. Plus there’s some credit due for Sheffield United.
