Two and a half months since euphoria at Wembley, we head back under the arch. The same opponents again. A Manchester derby. Not quite a heavyweight rematch. The Community Shield rather than the FA Cup. But a game with meaning, a chance to lay down a marker, to use that old football cliché: to notch a statement victory.
In this episode of the Manchester United Weekly Podcast, hosts Harry Robinson and Jack Tait preview Saturday’s derby and make their predictions for the season as a whole. There's also unrivalled insight into the new crop of Academy players entering U18s football this year and our Patrons get a bonus Q&A with plenty more topics to debate.

Our Patrons get an extra 20 minutes of conversation on fixture congestion, United Women and whether there's any chance United could be involved in a title race and, if so, for how long.
