Marcus Rashford returning to Manchester United is becoming a REAL possibility.

This episode of TPL looks at the reports around Rashford’s future, the new meeting that took place and all parties being open to reintegration.

Host Scott Saunders remembers the past, and outlines the only three conditions under which a return to Old Trafford would be acceptable in his eyes.

There is discussion on Rashford’s role in the squad, the attitude and application that would need to change behind the scenes, and whether a new contract on reduced terms would be the only realistic way to bring the situation back into line with Manchester United’s new wage structure.

There is also a look at why United should not entertain another loan, why a rotation role may now be the only serious level available to Rashford at a top club, and how all of this affects the wider squad build — especially on the left side and in midfield.

Elliot Anderson was never a realistic signing for Manchester United in the end, and the numbers now being talked about only reinforce that.

This episode looks at why United were never getting close to Manchester City in that race, why the deal never really made sense, and what Anderson’s move now does to the wider midfield market.

There is also discussion on Matheus Fernandes, why Manchester United may still have a real chance if the player prefers Old Trafford, why Spurs’ moves in the market are raising questions, and whether United could still end up doing both Aurelien Tchouameni and Fernandes as part of a bigger midfield rebuild.

There is also a quick update on Andre Onana heading back out on loan to Trabzonspor.

In a crusade against the nonsense you see online this week, Scott Saunders comes to TPL with the latest on Matheus Fernandes and a reminder of an interview Man Utd CEO Omar Berrada gave....just three weeks ago.

Berrada sat down with Andy Mitten and gave fans the answers they're looking for for scenarios that are literally playing out as we speak with United's most recent transfer target.

There's a reminder on the club's approach to overspending, being responsible, their ambitions to win the title, and how they won't let agents dictate the market to them beyond reason any more.

Go and check out the excellent interview on United's 'Inside Carrington' podcast on audio platforms and YouTube, posted in early June, if you've not seen it already.

Manchester United’s midfield plans remain fluid, and one big question is whether Aurelien Tchouameni’s potential availability is affecting the club’s move for Mateus Fernandes. This episode looks at why United may be hesitating, how the market around Fernandes has changed, and whether waiting could make more sense than rushing into an expensive deal.

There is also discussion on why Fernandes’ price and the growing competition for him may be changing the appeal of the move, what Tchouameni would bring as a more senior midfield option, and how United’s wider midfield priority list could still shift again before the end of the summer.
