Amorim’s Struggle | Jackson Transfer U-Turn | Wissa forces Newcastle move

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by The Times’ Alyson Rudd, The Sun’s Charlie Wyatt and Football Journalist Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action.

We begin with Man United, and Alyson isn’t impressed at how challenging Amorim’s side found it at home to Burnley. Charlie considers the situation a shambles and Julien believes Amorim doesn’t have the personality to succeed.

Next to Nicolas Jackson, who looked to be getting a dream move to Bayern Munich, until Liam Delap got injured. David Ornstein comes on to the pod and considers whether Chelsea will sign another striker, or use Jackson as their striker this season.

Then to talk last minute transfer news, and Keith Downie reports on Yoane Wissa’s statement to force Newcastle move. Julien thinks the price tag is a big ask from Brentford and Charlie questions Wissa’s professionalism.

Later in the pod, we return to Manchester United and we're joined by Samuel Luckhurst from the Manchester Evening News, who fills us in on the latest situation with Ruben Amorim. Sam thinks Amorim may have underestimated the size of the job at Man United but believes he will still be in charge for the Manchester derby.

Finally, we look at the VAR controversy robbing teenager Josh King of the opening goal in the West London derby against Chelsea. Alyson is stern in her view that there was no foul and that the decision goes against the spirit of VAR
