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.

Scott Saunders returns with a new TPL discussing the latest interview from Sir Jim Ratcliffe on a number of topics around Manchester United - with the manager Ruben Amorim's future coming into particular focus.
"Ruben needs to demonstrate he is a great coach over three years," is the remark which maybe indicates what United are thinking on the coach's future, and maybe puts some of the growing media speculation to bed after months of calls for Amorim to leave.
Scott outlines his thoughts on the comments and discusses the patience required from supporters for United to finally start turning around, but how results should play an integral part in deciding the right man for the job.

Scott Saunders asks the question on how long Ruben Amorim has left as Man Utd head coach following the latest damaging defeat, and a wave of reports that United are looking at alternatives.
United sources have maintained that Amorim will be given time, but the speculation is ramping up with a huge game against Sunderland approaching at the weekend.
Scott tries to give a different perspective on what INEOS may be thinking in not acting on Amorim yet and what problems may exist even if they do change manager.

On this episode of TPL, Scott takes a big picture look at the midfield - many people's problem area in the Man Utd team - and runs the rules over a variety of topics.
Not choosing to sign a midfielder in the summer is a risk, but discussed is the balance of waiting for the right player and the immediate need of fixing the problem, the importance of seeing everything through a longer term lens and what the future holds for each of United's five midfielders.
Interest in Carlos Baleba remains and is on the agenda, but what if United miss out on him to a rival? All discussed in this episode.

Scott Saunders looks at Manchester United's goalkeeping situation following the signing of Senne Lammens and decision to ship Andre Onana out on loan to Trabzonspor.
Altay Bayindir is the club's temporary number one in the early weeks of the season, but has obvious flaws. So when is the right time for Ruben Amorim to give his new goalkeeper a start? In a high pressure Manchester derby at the weekend, or some time after?

Scott Saunders discusses the latest news on Manchester United and addresses the reports that KOBBIE MAINOO is OPEN to leaving the club.
While it's not time to panic yet, the developments give suggestion to a potential opening for a club to put in a big bid before the window closes - and that may force United's hand. Scott outlines why it's a terrible idea to even consider selling the player.
Also, there's talk on the futures of a number of outgoing United players - including Hojlund, Garnacho and Antony.
