Hi there, welcome along to the Sunday Supplement podcast. With me Mike Wederburn and the assistant

0:28.5

editor of the Daily Mirror, Darren Lewis and joining us this week, the Athletics Laurie Wittwell,

0:34.0

we discuss all things Cristiano Ronaldo and have an extended interview with Antonio Conte.

0:42.8

Yes, making his debut on the show, like me, is Laurie Wittwell, the Manchester United correspondent
