    One of the best!
    Aaron and Kees have created one of the best soccer podcasts out there for Manchester United fans. If you’re looking for good technical analysis of players and play styles then this is the place to be. I have personally learned a lot following their work and eagerly look forward to their podcast on my way to work every Monday. Really bring a lot of clarity and calmness in a world of sensational commentary on anything and everything related to Manchester United. Thanks for the wonderful work.

    Distinct approach from all other MUFC podcasts
    Unlike lots of other podcasts that report on rumors or talk about vibes, the hosts go deep statistical analysis on the tactics and data on player fit, performance and discuss how the tactical system should work and how it is working. Very insightful and steeped in modern data analytics.

    Original content lives here
    The analysis in this pod is not influenced or regurgitated from other places. Their thoughts are original, analytical and that they stick to them.

    Brilliant Show
    Always enjoyed listening to Aaron and Kees. I personally think this is the best show about Man Utd and kind of surprised that it hasn’t become a mainstream hit. But hey those who know just know. I am pretty confident they will make it big sooner or later.

    Great podcast content
    Guys do a great job and love listening to them. They don’t pander to audience and have their own take. It’s not as polished but these folks are not media professionals so listen for content !

    Very interesting analysis show about Manchester United
    This is my favorite content about Manchester United! The hosts have a good mix of tactical analysis and have changed my views on many players.
  • Average Pod Enjoyer
    Heartfelt fan content with an analytical bent
    I don’t always agree with the opinions of the hosts, but I appreciate their reasoning nonetheless. They bring an analytical view of the game that is in stark contrast to the vibes based judgement of other creators. A good, refreshing palate cleanser from the wild swings of emotion from the fanbase. Looking forward to the next 100!

    Great Analytical Football Pod
    Love the detail these lads get into. To have a whole pod focused on what actually happened/happens on the pitch is wonderful. Thanks for the hard work, and great guests!

    Good show and improving all the time
    Really unique perspective on united and love the work and thought that goes into each show. Especially good on tactics and player role fit analysis. If you like The Athletics content, you’ll love this.

    A different kind of United podcast
    I’ve been a listener since the beginning (or near it, at least) and have loved every episode. Each week, Aaron and Kees provide fantastic commentary and analysis on the current state of the team and I look forward starting every week listening to the latest pod. Congrats on 100 episodes, guys!

    Great analysis
    My favorite United podcast. Appreciate that the boys stick to their opinion whether it is in tandem with the popular narrative of the week or not.

    Hundred ep deserves 5stars
    I write this having just started listening to 100th episode. Very good show. Will this be where they admit they were wrong on Amad or just pretend they just had concerns?

    Waste of time
    Miserable “fans” who spend more time saying “trust me bro” than delivering actual content.

    In my opinion…
    I usually listen to podcasts while doing something. Mostly, while working in the lab. For Aaron and Kees, I have to put down whatever I am doing and just listen. This is such an intelligent podcast and it is so refreshing to have people who are so rational and objective with their words. I often listen to each episode multiple times. Oh, and also this is definitively one of the 2 best United podcasts in the world along with The Athletic’s Talk of the Devils, although the latter is a different flavor.

    Informative, engaging, and accessible Man United analysis
    There’s always so much noise around United and this podcast is a great way to tune that out and get smart analysis on what’s actually happening with the club. I’d also recommend it to anyone who wants to get into writing about football or does already. Kees and Aaron view the game in a way that I’ve found a lot of benefit from and it’s made me more conscious of my own writing about football.

    Devilished detailed
    This a superb-nerdy (that’s a compliment), top-ranking podcast that goes into ultra-knowledgeable detail about tactics without ever being irritating and does not have the usual excessive fooling around that you get with some self-conscious podcasts where the presenters know their stuff inside-out. These guys are definitely MU fans but have their feet firmly on the statistical ground. The occasional light moment, which is fine by me. British listener in Japan.

    These boys are informed
    Much needed analytical United pod. The boys bring takes that are well informed, go in depth on tactics, no hyperbole. Less de gea talk though 🤣

    Fills a gap!
    This fills a huge gap in united content! Love it. Hope you guys get Kees a good mic and develop a better cadence
  • cassy ferdinand
    Expert Manchester United analysis!
    These guys are awesome! I look forward to this show every week. If you want to be a smart soccer fan, this show will be perfect for you!
