Live in Malta with Mike Phelan

The Official Manchester United Podcast

Show Notes

For the first time ever the UTD podcast has been filmed in front of a live audience! We're back in Malta but this time we've got the whole gang together plus our special guest Mike Phelan.

Back in early February Sam, Helen & Maysie were invited by the supporters' club to celebrate their 65th anniversary and they had plenty of activities planned for us. Thank you to everyone at the Manchester United Supporters' Club Malta for your hospitality.

Mike Phelan has been on the UTD podcast before talking about his coaching career, so this was the perfect opportunity to focus more on his playing days. As well as his time at Burnley and Norwich, he talks about how he first joined United during that early Alex Ferguson era, before the gaffer had won a single trophy at United. Mike shares his memories of that famous 1990 FA Cup victory and tells the audience how things really clicked into place after that, putting in place the foundations for domination in the years that followed.

Maysie and Mike were also able to take some questions from the audience. Don't miss this truly unique episode of the UTD podcast!

The best place to catch up on the back-catalogue of our interviews is over on the Manchester United App, where you can listen to - and watch - all of our episodes in full, for free. Here you can get early access to new episodes, published 24 hours before everywhere else.
