Description

The Promised Land is a Manchester United podcast brought to you by football journalist, editor and presenter Scott Saunders talking all the latest on the biggest club in England. Taking an approach of "never too high, never too low", a phrase coined by TPL's former co-host, the late Rob Blanchette, the show aims to bring an element of calmness and measured analysis on what we see on and off the pitch in relation to United. Scott has the unique insight of being a fan of the club for 30 years and working in the football media scene for over a decade, and will often endeavour to bring an alternative eye and critical thinking to what's being reported. There's no shouting or over the top reactions, but instead level-headed conversation on all the latest topics for every United fan to enjoy.

Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt have a podcast nowadays...great! But what's not so great is when they cross a line with their criticism of Man Utd players and end up getting into slanging matches...which is exactly what's happened with United defender Lisandro Martinez - who issued a response to some over the line criticism after the Manchester derby. Now Scholes and Butt have doubled down. Roy Keane is making comments about Michael Carrick's wife, and this is the state of modern punditry. Scott Saunders breaks down what's wrong with it and why we're all so tired of this nonsense. 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts on the game YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #Carrick #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.

Adam Joseph returns to TPL to look at the busy last few weeks at Old Trafford, full of change, and the latest indications are that they're for the better. Michael Carrick led Man Utd to a derby win at the weekend with a performance to be proud of, and Scott Saunders directs the conversation through the latest topics at hand - what's changed under Carrick in days, why the players have responded so positively, how United DNA is important and has been implemented again, and more. The guys look early at if Carrick should be considered a contender for the job down the line and what it would take for him to be considered, speak about the remainder of the January transfer window and give their latest predictions on if United will qualify for the Champions League. 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ Follow Adam on X https://x.com/AdamJoseph #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #Carrick #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.

Middlesbrough fan and experienced football journalist Graeme Bailey joins TPL to discuss the new Man Utd head coach's time at Middlesbrough, why he thinks Carrick was a big success, and why he may be a perfect fit for United in the short term following the sacking of Ruben Amorim. Discussed are the reasons behind Boro not getting promotion to the Premier League under Carrick, which players excelled in the team and which players from Manchester United could fit perfectly into Carrick's favoured tactics. Hayden Hackney, often linked to United, is also discussed, while there's also reflections on Ruben Amorim and which coach could be the right fit for United in the summer. 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts on the game YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #Carrick #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.

Scott reflects on the the prospect of no trophy again and delves into the reports that Carrick is going to be the likely choice to steer the ship for the remainder of the campaign. 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts on the game YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #RubenAmorim #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.

Reflecting on the developments of the last week, Scott Saunders offers his final thoughts on the 14 month tenure of Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. Concluding that blame lies at everyone's feet, Scott explores how muddled thinking and changing roles meant INEOS and Amorim got in each other's way and eventually led to the firing of the Portuguese boss on Monday. Featured are the key areas which Amorim held United back, and the important things his bosses did or didn't do which led to him acting in the way he did before getting sacked. 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts on the game YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #RubenAmorim #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.

In the newest bumper episode of TPL, Adam Joseph rejoins the podcast to discuss how active we can expect Man Utd to be in the January transfer window, Joshua Zirkzee's future and potential replacements, and look ahead to Sunday's massive game at Leeds. Later in the show, the guys talk about the latest news out of Chelsea, with Enzo Maresca leaving. This has naturally drawn comparisons to the situation at United given the clubs are on the same points half way through the season, but Scott and Adam explain why the models are ENTIRELY different and why it's better to trust how United are operating at the moment - even while fans aren't taking to Ruben Amorim. 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts on the game YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #RubenAmorim #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy new year! Scott Saunders is back for the first time in 2026 outlining expectations we should be placing on Manchester United that they deliver against over the course of the year ahead, set against the plan the club themselves have set. It's an attempt to align expectations of supporters with the pace the club is moving at, to hold the club accountable if they don't deliver and importantly, have preset targets in order for Scott, the host, to balance his expectations and happiness against.

Scott Saunders reacts to Man Utd's final game of 2025 - a terrible 1-1 home draw with Wolves, who haven't won a game all season. You just knew this was coming from United, didn't you? There are lots of first team absentees but no excuses, with Ruben Amorim handing the initiative over to one of the worst teams in the history of the league. United had their chances to win but could quite easily have lost - and it's a damning indictment on a manager struggling to win supporters over. Scott reflects on the game, how Amorim's decisions didn't help, what went wrong, the approach, the substitutions, and lots more.

Scott Saunders reacts to the news that Manchester United have missed out on Antoine Semenyo to rivals Manchester City, meaning their immediate top target is all set to join a rival club who can offer more immediate success. Is it a blessing in disguise given the concerns over the midfield? What could we see United do in January as a result? Scott also looks ahead to the Boxing Day game with Newcastle, with lots of injuries making team selection difficult and solutions needing to be found. What do United do in midfield?

Bruno Fernandes is out injured — so how do Manchester United actually cope without him? In this episode, I break down the realistic midfield solutions Ruben Amorim has at his disposal and what each option says about United’s short- and long-term direction. From the possibility of Lisandro Martínez stepping into midfield, to Kobbie Mainoo’s responsibility without Bruno, Casemiro’s role in controlling games, and what this all means for Manuel Ugarte’s future at the club. Is this a moment for tactical evolution? The long awaited introduction of academy players? Or a warning sign that United still lack balance and creativity without the captain? We assess: • How United replace Bruno’s creativity and leadership • Martínez as a midfield option — risk or necessity? • Mainoo’s development amid demand for minutes • Casemiro's return • What this injury spell could mean for Ugarte and future recruitment A big-picture discussion about squad building, system fit, and whether United are finally being forced to solve problems they’ve put off for too long. - 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts on the game YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #RubenAmorim #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.

Scott discusses United's performance, the good and bad parts, what's changing under Ruben Amorim's instruction, and more. 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts on the game YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #RubenAmorim #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.

Great result. I've listened to this pod for years but it doesn't quite work in this lone format. A co-presenter is requires to get that spark back that was there with you and Rob (RIP).
