Fergie’s Gum

Manchester United are scraping the barrel for "superstar" signings

On this week's Fergie's Gum, Nathan Irvine and Mr Paul Cropper discuss Manchester United's early summer transfer window, which, at the time of recording, has failed to start. There's a look at the reasons why, the targets they've missed out on and the new ones being propelled to Tier 1 that probably wouldn't even have been on Tier 20 12 months ago. There are your usual regulars as another player gets the Underrated or Overrated treatment, and Cropper's Transfer Corner cooks up a wishlist of signings. And there's even time for a What If moment, as the pair imagine United with a certain prolific striker in their current ranks. All this and much more on Fergie's Gum. Fergie's Gum drops every week.

If not Mateus Fernandes then who?

Nathan Irvine is joined by Mr Paul Cropper as the pair discuss all the latest coming out of Old Trafford and Carrington. There's a tinfoil hat theory about Kobbie Mainoo and his current lack of minutes at the World Cup. We look at the three positions that should be a priority for the club to fix this summer (hint: it's in the centre of the pitch), and we head down memory lane to reminisce about the best - and worst - performances we've ever seen at Old Trafford.

Rashford back to Manchester United?

Nathan Irvine and Paul Cropper return after a small break to cover the ins and outs, ups and downs of Manchester United. It might be World Cup season, but that hasn't stopped United from making the headlines recently. If they're not toying with the idea of bringing Marcus Rashford back into the fold after being snubbed by Barca, they're launching new shows with Amazon Prime.
