Welcome to the latest episode of the Samuel Luckhurst Show from the Manchester Evening News, hosted by George Smith alongside United’s chief writer, Samuel Luckhurst.
With the transfer window in a lull and the PSR deadline looming, Samuel and George go in-depth on one of the week’s biggest stories: Nick Cox’s departure as Manchester United Academy chief and what it means for the club’s future. We look back at Cox’s legacy, the revival of United’s youth set-up, the rise of stars like Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo, and the challenges ahead for whoever takes over.
PLUS: In the second half, Samuel & George take you behind the scenes at the MEN – what it’s really like covering United through the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Samuel shares memories from a decade on the patch, his standout moments as a journalist, and what it’s like reporting through both United’s triumphs and turbulent times.

Are United set for a tricky start with Arsenal, City, and Chelsea early on?
What does the fixture list reveal about the season ahead under Ruben Amorim?
Fixture nostalgia: Samuel recalls Moyes, Fergie, and when schedules really mattered!
Transfers: Why Samuel thinks the additions of Matheus Cunha and (hopefully) Bryan Mbeumo are actually the “right” moves for once.
Why signing a striker is make-or-break for United, and why it could drag out all summer.
United’s new focus: proven Premier League talent, disciplined fees, and no more panic buys?
How missing out on Europe could become United’s secret weapon this season.
Samuel’s brutally honest takes on past signings (and George’s / Steven's grading skills!)
