Hello and welcome to the debate filmed here at the Megastore at Old Trafford, where my panel

of guests will be discussing all things Manchester United. So to introduce the panel from the

journalists we have Neil Custis of the Sun and Laurie Whitwell from the Athletic representing

the players, Danny Weber, a former Academy graduate of Manchester United and Alex Bruce who also

spent time at the Academy before going on to have a big football career and of course

is his birthday today as well. Happy birthday Bruce. Thank you. Here's what's coming up in the show.

Ultimately it's a cocktail we've got to get through. Sometimes people can overcomplicate the game.

It kind of just showed what a what a fearsome individual he was. You just need to go on YouTube

and watch 10 many clips of these goals. The basis of everything he does is hard work and

honestly humility. Remember is that game on another game where he hacked down Ronaldo?

I don't think people remember just how great he was. Can he handle the price tag?

You certainly did that.

Yes, so loads coming up for you. Let's begin though by talking about

the Carabout Cupdraw, which pits us again here at Old Trafford. This time against Newcastle,

the trophy looking resplendent beside me here. You can have your picture with that by the way if

you come down to the Megastore. But let's talk about the draw against Newcastle, the 12th domestic

Cupdraw in a row here at the Theatre of Dreams, odds of over 4,000 to 1 to make that happen.

Laurie, it's an unbelievable run of home draws in the domestic Cup competitions, isn't it?

Yeah, I'm glad you brought out the stats for that one, so we're getting towards when

Leicester won the league. That was 5,000 to 1 chance. So if it's another home draw, I guess maybe

that's even more unlikely. But yeah, I mean, I'm sure Eric Tanaga's pleased at that.

I'm sure the commercial guys probably pleased at that, more revenue in from the matchday
