Mason Mount

Paul Scholes and Marco Materazzi have delivered strong criticism of Manchester United’s transfer decisions. The heavy investments made by Manchester United in recent years to sign players have not translated into satisfactory results on the field, prompting soccer icons like Paul Scholes and Marco Materazzi to weigh in on those transfer decisions. In a recent appearance on The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast, Scholes discussed the roster changes Manchester United need to make ahead of next season, stating that at least eight players in the squad should be moved on this summer and replaced with new talent. Among those mentioned is Harry Maguire, who recently extended his contract through 2027. “I’m thinking about a Manchester United team you want to win the league and the Champions League… I’m not sure you’d do that with Maguire,” said the former English midfielder, who made more than 700 appearances for the Red Devils between 1993 and 2013. Luke Shaw was also identified by Scholes as a player whose time at the club may be over. “When he was playing consistently, I don’t think there was a better left-back in the world, not just Europe. But if you’re asking me now… I’d sell him. He doesn’t play enough games,” he said. Harry Maguire of Manchester United. That list also includes high-profile names such as Mason Mount—whom Scholes questioned due to his fit alongside Bruno Fernandes—as well as lower-profile players like Lenny Yoro, Noussair Mazraoui, Patrick Dorgu, Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee. Materazzi points to Manchester United’s ‘biggest mistake’ While Paul Scholes focused on the players Manchester United should move on from, Marco Materazzi pointed to a past decision: the sale of Scott McTominay to Napoli in 2024 for around $34 million. “McTominay is an incredible player from start to finish. I don’t understand how Manchester United sold him for almost nothing, because his value, in my opinion, is €60 to €70 million or more. It’s the biggest transfer market mistake we’ve ever seen, without a doubt,” said the 2006 World Cup champion with Italy during a promotional event, according to Mundo Deportivo. Manchester United have spent a fortune on signings The fact that Manchester United have gone 13 years without winning the Premier League and 18 without lifting the UEFA Champions League trophy can be explained not only by the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, but also by years of poor executive decisions that have impacted the team’s on-field performance. Financially, the Red Devils remain one of the most powerful clubs in the world, but that has not translated into results. In fact, last summer they were among the biggest spenders in the transfer market. Ahead of the 2025–26 season, Manchester United signed four players: Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Senne Lammens. The club spent close to $288 million on those deals—an enormous outlay that has yet to be justified by performances on the field.

In the hot seat this week is Martyn Waghorn. Waghorn was a young pro at Sunderland during the time Browny was making waves on and off the pitch. Despite ‘looking after’ Waghorn, Browny did forget to tip him for cleaning his boots so there is a score to settle right off the bat here. With a path into the first team blocked Waghorn dropped down to Leicester following a successful loan spell and got his first taste of first team football under Sven Goran Erikkson. When Rangers came knocking it was impossible not to jump at the move even though they were playing in Scottish Championship at the time, witnessing a true juxtaposition of playing at Ibrox to teams who rented out their local pitches after matches. Returning to England Waghorn got to play under footballing legends Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney and encounter a serious array of young footballers coming through including the likes of Viktor Gyökeres, Mason Mount & Fikayo Tomori. 🌏Get an exclusive NordVPN deal here → https://nordvpn.com/cosh This is risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee!

Manchester United fan Gary Robinson joins James to discuss United's #FPL assets and begin with reflection on the FA Cup Final victory over rivals City and club's decision to stick with Erik Ten Haag, though some backroom appointments, including legend Ruud Van Nistelrooy have led to to James remaining cautious on the current manager's future. Bruno Fernandes will appeal to many FPL managers at 8.5, but with Marcus Rashford back down to 7.0 and Alejandro Garnacho seemingly established and now 6.5 which, if any, of the trio is worth investing in? Pre-season has continued with last season's theme on injuries but key centre-back Lisandro Martinez is fit again and at 4.5 offers a cheap route in to a backline, that did admittedly give up an alarming number of shots last season. Andre Onana, Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw, all 5.0 are covered but with no new holding midfielder signed (yet) should they be swerved? Plus, Jadon Sancho is back, Mason Mount is playing, Amad Diallo is impressing and why Scott McTominay should not be discounted as possible FPL asset to consider.

So Erik ten Hag has been able to strengthen his squad in three key positions this summer already but will the arrival of Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund help Manchester United close the gap to Man City? Host Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic's Adam Crafton and Carl Anka, to discuss what United have learnt from their recent mistakes in the transfer market, why they didn't pull out all the stops for Harry Kane, replacing David de Gea and the protracted sale of the football club.

Gary Robinson joins James to discuss all the latest at Manchester United including key and popular FPL picks Andre Onana, Luke Shaw, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. Many FPL managers look like they may go with both Fernandes and Rashford, but if it had to be just one, who’s best? Is Onana worth the 0.5 saving on Shaw? Or should an alternative defender that should be considered. Plus, there’s discussion on what impact Onana and new signing Mason Mount are likely to have, there’s thoughts on the likely signature of Rasmus Hojlund, the chances of United making a title challenge and the Podcast begins with a chat about the potential takeover of the club.

Can Newcastle maintain their strong defensive numbers from last season and how will Sandro Tonali fit in? Which of the mid priced Liverpool assets is most likely to stand out?
