In this episode of The Fan Debate brought to you by Sky Bet, Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes are joined by football finance expert Kieran Maguire. We get an update on the ongoing case surrounding Manchester City. If the club is found guilty, what could the future of the Premier League look like? The team debates what a fair punishment would be and how it could reshape the league’s landscape.
The conversation then shifts to Liverpool, as lifelong fan Gareth shares his perspective on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential move to Real Madrid. Are Liverpool fans being unfair in their criticism of the transfer?
Manchester United’s midfield also comes under the spotlight, with questions raised about how the club can get the best out of Kobbie Mainoo following his dip in form under Rúben Amorim. What has changed in his performances, and can he rediscover his best form in Amorim's system?
The team also discusses Aston Villa’s balancing act between the Champions League and FA Cup, Arsenal’s ongoing striker dilemma, and who Mikel Arteta should target in the summer transfer window.
