Can Manchester United be restored to its former glory?

The Sports Desk

Available for over a year

When it comes to Manchester United, the fall has been almost as dramatic as the rise. But could a change of leadership herald a change in fortunes for one of the world’s biggest clubs? With Richard Arnold replacing the much-maligned Ed Woodward as United chief executive, we analyse the task facing him as he looks to revive the team’s fortunes, renovate a decaying stadium and navigate the toxic relationship between the club’s American owners and their fans. We hear from former Manchester United chief executive Peter Kenyon, Ian Stirling from Manchester United Supporters Trust and football finance expert Kieran Maguire. Panel: Delyth Lloyd, Dan Roan, Simon Stone & Oliver Holt Producer: Sam Sheringham
