Summary
We begin by looking at both Manchester sides; Darren believes it has to be a big summer for United, who must compete against the likes of rising teams Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa (as well as Arsenal, Liverpool and City). Gary believes United will be challenging for the top four next season.
Also, Ben Ransom sits down with Pep Guardiola to talk about Kevin De Bruyne announcing his City departure, what Pep has learnt in this tough campaign, and whether he would have been sacked if it wasn’t for his prior success.
Next to Arsenal, who after their eleventh draw of the season at Goodison, are very much Madrid or bust in the Champions League. Gary attributes the Gunners’ league downfall to injuries and lack of a striker, but believes, after a recent trip to London Colney, that Mikel Arteta knows he has his striker of choice in summer.
And finally, pressure on Ange Postecoglou, with boos on the touchline and a challenging week with the media. Gary names Tottenham v Southampton ‘the depressed derby’ but the Europa League may be the saving grace.

| 0:05.4 | every bizarre VAR, every foregone conclusion, bad pass, slam dunk, tap-in, full start, dead heat, |
| 0:12.5 | an absolutely expected defeat is amazing. From football to tennis and ice hockey to motorsport, |
| 0:18.9 | whatever the moment, it's never ordinary at Bet365. |
| 0:23.2 | Hi there and welcome along to Sunday supplement podcast with me, Vicky Gommasol and the |
| 0:26.9 | assistant editor of the mirror, Darren Lewis. Sky Sports News reporter Gary Cottrell joins us this |
| 0:31.3 | week. Welcome along to you both. Let's start by heading straight to Old Trafford and join our senior reporter Melissa Reddy, who is there ready and waiting to speak to us. |
| 0:42.3 | Morning, Melissa. Look, this is always a massive occasion, isn't it? Today, Manchester City, they're focused on achieving Champions League qualification, aren't they? |
| 0:50.0 | But Manchester United are looking to get their first double, their league double, over their rival since 2019-20 season. |
| 0:57.0 | So aside from the rivalry, who's the win more crucial for? City or United? |
| 1:03.0 | Well, Manchester City cannot contemplate slipping out of Europe's top table and not being in the Champions League. |
| 1:12.9 | So in the context of them still having something to play for with their league games, |
| 1:18.6 | it feels materially more crucial for them to win here today. |
| 1:23.6 | But for Manchester United, who are looking at the Europa League to be their saving grace for the season, |
| 1:31.1 | they actually need to go to Leon with confidence, belief, a positive mindset and atmosphere surrounding them. |
| 1:39.4 | And Ruben Amram has spoken about momentum and seizing every opportunity to find their rhythm, their patterns. |
| 1:48.0 | And you would think that doing the double over Manchester City for the first time in five years, |
| 1:55.0 | or even just turning in a very vibrant, aggressive performance here, that can help lift them as they go to Leon and look to rescue and redefine their season. |
| 2:06.6 | It cannot be overstated how important that would be for the club if they won the Europa League, both financially and reputational. |
| 2:16.6 | Now Amram has a great record against City this season. |
| 2:21.3 | He beat them for one with the sporting side and then of course there was that dramatic late |
