And of course we check in on the obvious leaders right now -- Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane -- as well as some players we're watching to see if they can get into consideration.

Scott McTominay left a struggling Manchester United to become Serie A’s Most Valuable Player, win the Scudetto for Napoli and be nominated for the Ballon D’Or - all in one year. Was he this good all along? Is he finally getting the respect he always deserved? This episode of Football Daily, hosted by football writer and Copa 90 presenter Eugene Noble, goes right back to the start of Scott McTominay's incredible story and explores the making of McTominay: How he grew from the Man Utd academy, to being taken under the wing of José Mourinho and performing on the international stage. We speak to the likes of Paul McGuinness and James Weir, coaches and players who knew him at the academy, as well as podcasters, pundits and fans such as Jay Motty, Joe Fischetti and Umberto Bernardo, who have tracked his career from Old Trafford to the Neapolitan sun. We also hear from football journalist Mina Rzouki about how Scott has transformed under Antonio Conte, as well as Scottish Legend and commentator Pat Nevin about how he is becoming a symbol for the nation in the blue shirt of Scotland. We even speak to Scotland head coach Steve Clarke about Scott’s crucial role to the international team and a conversation that sparked Scott’s career back into life. In 2026, McTominay is facing his biggest season yet: Napoli have a title to defend. They’re back in the Champions League. And Scotland have their World Cup qualifier campaign already underway. So, the question isn’t just how Scott McTominay got here - it’s how much higher can he go?

Can Forest be a real threat in the Europa League after a strong start against Real Betis? Was Arne Slot right to call Hugo Ekitike stupid after getting sent off against Southampton? Should we just be celebrating Ousmane Dembélé for winning the Ballon d’Or, rather than moaning about who didn’t? Gary and Micah also discuss an impressive week for the Welsh clubs, as Cardiff, Wrexham and Swansea all make it through to the fourth round of the League Cup, the first time three team from Wales have made it that far in the competition’s history.

Welcome back to a brand-new episode of Stick to Football brought to you by Arne. Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Ian Wright dive into the biggest stories in football. We start with the Ballon d’Or, asking if winner Ousmane Dembélé is a great player and whether Mo Salah was robbed because he didn’t win the Champions League. The panel then discuss Arsenal against Manchester City, asking whether Mikel Arteta missed a big opportunity and if City were there to be beaten. They also debate whether Pep Guardiola is evolving his style or moving away from the possession principles that have defined his career. Liverpool’s flying start is also on the agenda after five wins from five, and the crew tackle a wide range of community questions from the best sporting event to the key differences between the Championship and Premier League.

This is the one we’ve all been waiting for – an in-depth official podcast episode with star striker Erling Haaland. Haaland has been a revelation since joining the Club at the start of the 2022/23 season, a campaign like no other in City history as we won the Treble. The fab forward was a driving force in these remarkable achievements, as he smashed a host of individual records. He scored the most Premier League goals in one season with 36 and the most goals in all competitions by a player at a Premier League club with a whopping 52. He won the Premier League Golden Boot, City's first European Golden Shoe, Premier League Player of the Season, Premier League Young Player of the Season, FWA Men’s Footballer of the Year, UEFA Men’s Player of the Year, the Ballon d’Or Gerd Muller Trophy as well as finishing runner-up in the main Ballon d’Or competition. Despite missing five games so far in the Premier League across 2023/24 through injury, he still sits as No.1 in the scoring charts with 14 goals, alongside Liverpool Mo Salah. In this fascinating podcast, he chats with hosts Rob Pollard and Nedum Onuoha about his initial hopes on joining City, his impressions of the dressing room atmosphere, his thoughts on the Premier League, his debut season and the personal pressure he felt on arriving at the Etihad. He also discusses our ‘unreal’ Treble, how he thinks he can improve, his belief in Pep Guardiola, his insistence on football as a team sport, the influence of his dad Alfie, his diet and his aspirations with Norway.
