    Oct 15 2026
    Ander Herrera joins Rio Ferdinand to look back on his remarkable career across Manchester United, PSG, and Athletic Bilbao, right through to his emotional return to boyhood club Real Zaragoza. Ander opens up about the painful truth behind his departure from Old Trafford and how a contract letter from Ed Woodward left him heartbroken. He reflects on the dressing room tension between Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba, the difference between Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, and what Michael Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjær brought to the squad. Plus, Ander gives an inside look into sharing a pitch with modern football icons: the unbelievable standard of Lionel Messi in training, Neymar's magic, Kylian Mbappé's freakish athleticism, and a hilarious training ground clash with Zlatan Ibrahimović.

    Martinez Explodes | Is Carrick Under Pressure?! Yoro Red card Controversy!
    Oct 14 2026
    Martínez’s raw post-match comments have sparked intense debate across Manchester United. From the dressing room reaction to the boardroom reality under Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada, Rio breaks down the consequences of taking internal frustrations public. Looking back at past exits like Roy Keane, Jaap Stam, Ralf Rangnick, and Cristiano Ronaldo, history shows that public outbursts against club hierarchy rarely end well. Rio also reflects on his own experience under Sir Alex Ferguson after a substitution clash against Bayern Munich, how squad morale is impacted, and why Michael Carrick deserves time to turn the form around ahead of a massive clash against Leeds. In this episode:The Dressing Room Fallout: What new signings and teammates think when standards are questioned publicly. Did he knock on the door first? Why speaking to Wilcox and Berrada in private changes everything. The Ferguson Standard: How Sir Alex handled players who called out the club or teammates. Backing Michael Carrick: Creating chances, converting opportunities, and the reality of a multi-window rebuild. Drop your thoughts in the comments: Did Lisandro Martínez do the right thing, or should he have kept this behind closed doors?

    Oct 12 2026
    Rio Ferdinand joins Joel Beya and Ste Howson to break down Manchester United’s draw with Tottenham, question what’s changed under Michael Carrick and respond to Jamie Carragher’s comments on social media about Rio and Cristiano Ronaldo. After watching United alongside his former teammates, Rio explains why the performance left them downbeat. He examines the support Mainoo and Tielemans need, questions whether United’s approach suits their players and recalls the standards he demanded when defending crosses. Ste challenges the substitutions against Spurs, asks why Bruno Fernandes keeps playing 90 minutes and questions the squad’s balance with limited options up front. Could Carlos Baleba help change the midfield dynamic? Rio also addresses Carragher’s online tone and debates Cristiano Ronaldo’s response to the Portugal situation with Joel, drawing on his own experience of staying silent when he wishes he had spoken out.
