Summary
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Tim Howard joined the UTD Podcast this week, from his home in Memphis, Tennessee.
Tim opened up about his challenges growing up with a Tourette’s Syndrome diagnosis, and how playing soccer was a way for him to free himself from the hurdles it put in his way.
He also talked us through his time at Old Trafford - adjusting to the pace of training, picking up his first silverware, and vying for position with Roy Carroll.
Sam, Helen and Maysie also read out your emails at the end of the episode. If you'd like to write to the only official Manchester United Podcast then e-mail utdpodcast@manutd.co.uk
If you'd like to listen through our back-catalogue, the best place to do that is over on the Manchester United App, where you can listen to and watch all of our episodes in full for free!
We'd also love it if you could leave us a rating and review wherever you listen to your podcasts.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, guys. Before we get started with this week's episode, we just have a little bit of news for you. |
| 0:05.0 | Oh, yes. |
| 0:06.0 | We do. The news is that we don't have a dedicated section on the official Manchester United app just for our podcast. |
| 0:11.0 | May I go on it? Loving it? |
| 0:13.0 | Yes. Loving it. |
| 0:14.0 | We know what you're thinking. Why should I move my favourite podcast up all the way over to New York? |
| 0:19.0 | Well, two reasons. Reason one is that you will get the podcast a whole 24 hours earlier. |
| 0:24.0 | And it's a really good reason. |
| 0:26.0 | That's 24 hours earlier than everywhere else. And you can be first in line to hear every new episode. |
| 0:31.0 | Yeah. And reason number two is it allows us to bring you so much more than just the episode. |
| 0:34.0 | So if we talk about goals, you'll be able to see the goals within the app. |
| 0:37.0 | And you'll also see it associated articles and something a lot of people have requested. |
| 0:41.0 | You'll be able to watch more episodes of the podcast all in one place, which to me seems sensational. |
| 0:46.0 | But if you're not convinced and want to stay where you are, that's fine too. |
| 0:49.0 | We'll still bring you our pods right here every week as usual. |
| 0:53.0 | Right here, right now. |
| 0:55.0 | But also, if you're on the app, you won't have to sit through or is telling you always every time. |
| 1:00.0 | That's good, isn't it? |
| 1:01.0 | Yeah, because this is going to get repeated if you're listening on something else, but not on the app. |
| 1:04.0 | Anyway, that's it. The official Manchester Eye app now has a podcast section. |
