About this episode

Owen Hargreaves joins Rio and Joel to discuss the hugely important Europa League tie against Athletic Bilbao following Manchester United’s 15th loss in the Premier League this season.


There’s advice for Rasmus Hojlund and tips from Owen Hargreaves on how he could better utilise his pace in the Premier League, there’s analysis on how Declan Rice came out on top in his battle with Jude Bellingham as Arsenal dismantled Real Madrid and Rio details how INEOS could sell the club to any potential suitors in the transfer window.


Rio and Owen also reveal the financial implications for the players if they help United qualify for the Champions League and the importance of Casemiro’s experience in these crucial knockout fixtures.


Rio is delighted to hear that Owen agrees with his assessment of the importance of signing Victor Osimhen and details how the development of academy player Chido Obi hinges on recruiting the correct striker to be the ’number one'. Plus Rio reveals why he was so happy for Trent Alexander-Arnold to get the crucial goal as Liverpool took one step closer to securing the Premier League title.
