The Promised Land is a Manchester United podcast brought to you by football journalist, editor and presenter Scott Saunders talking all the latest on the biggest club in England. Taking an approach of "never too high, never too low", a phrase coined by TPL's former co-host, the late Rob Blanchette, the show aims to bring an element of calmness and measured analysis on what we see on and off the pitch in relation to United. Scott has the unique insight of being a fan of the club for 30 years and working in the football media scene for over a decade, and will often endeavour to bring an alternative eye and critical thinking to what's being reported. There's no shouting or over the top reactions, but instead level-headed conversation on all the latest topics for every United fan to enjoy.

The final word: How Amorim failed Man Utd & INEOS failed Amorim
Reflecting on the developments of the last week, Scott Saunders offers his final thoughts on the 14 month tenure of Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. Concluding that blame lies at everyone's feet, Scott explores how muddled thinking and changing roles meant INEOS and Amorim got in each other's way and eventually led to the firing of the Portuguese boss on Monday. Featured are the key areas which Amorim held United back, and the important things his bosses did or didn't do which led to him acting in the way he did before getting sacked. 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts on the game YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #RubenAmorim #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.

Amorim Stays, Maresca Goes & What United Must Get Right in 2026 w/ Adam Joseph
In the newest bumper episode of TPL, Adam Joseph rejoins the podcast to discuss how active we can expect Man Utd to be in the January transfer window, Joshua Zirkzee's future and potential replacements, and look ahead to Sunday's massive game at Leeds. Later in the show, the guys talk about the latest news out of Chelsea, with Enzo Maresca leaving. This has naturally drawn comparisons to the situation at United given the clubs are on the same points half way through the season, but Scott and Adam explain why the models are ENTIRELY different and why it's better to trust how United are operating at the moment - even while fans aren't taking to Ruben Amorim. 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts on the game YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #RubenAmorim #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.

Amorim submits to the worst team in the league - United 1-1 Wolves REACTION
Scott Saunders reacts to Man Utd's final game of 2025 - a terrible 1-1 home draw with Wolves, who haven't won a game all season. You just knew this was coming from United, didn't you? There are lots of first team absentees but no excuses, with Ruben Amorim handing the initiative over to one of the worst teams in the history of the league. United had their chances to win but could quite easily have lost - and it's a damning indictment on a manager struggling to win supporters over. Scott reflects on the game, how Amorim's decisions didn't help, what went wrong, the approach, the substitutions, and lots more.

How do Man Utd replace Bruno Fernandes? Mainoo's injury, Martinez in midfield & more
Bruno Fernandes is out injured — so how do Manchester United actually cope without him? In this episode, I break down the realistic midfield solutions Ruben Amorim has at his disposal and what each option says about United’s short- and long-term direction. From the possibility of Lisandro Martínez stepping into midfield, to Kobbie Mainoo’s responsibility without Bruno, Casemiro’s role in controlling games, and what this all means for Manuel Ugarte’s future at the club. Is this a moment for tactical evolution? The long awaited introduction of academy players? Or a warning sign that United still lack balance and creativity without the captain? We assess: • How United replace Bruno’s creativity and leadership • Martínez as a midfield option — risk or necessity? • Mainoo’s development amid demand for minutes • Casemiro's return • What this injury spell could mean for Ugarte and future recruitment A big-picture discussion about squad building, system fit, and whether United are finally being forced to solve problems they’ve put off for too long. - 🎙️ The Promised Land – A Manchester United Podcast 👍 Like, subscribe & comment with your thoughts on the game YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1⁠⁠⁠ Apple: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846⁠⁠⁠ Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Scott Saunders for daily United analysis X ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ IG ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/⁠⁠⁠ TPL X ⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/tplmufc⁠ #ManchesterUnited #MUFC #ManUtd #PremierLeague #RubenAmorim #ThePromisedLand Learn more about your ad choices.

"The club wanted me to go" - Bruno drops another bombshell on his United future - REACTION
Scott Saunders reacts to Bruno Fernandes' latest explosive interview that has dropped after the draw with Bournemouth, where he has stated to Portuguese media that Manchester United wanted him to leave in summer 2025. Scott digs into the comments, how the interview came about, whether he's right or the club are, if Bruno should have been sold or kept, and a ton more. It's an emotive issue but Scott digs in to the nuance. Bruno told Canal 11, via SportWitness: “I could have left like many people do and said: ‘I want to leave, I don’t want to train, I just want to leave for €20m or €30m, so they pay me more on the other side.’ But I never did that. I never felt in a position to do that, because I felt that the empathy and affection I had for the club were the same.  "But there comes a point where, for them, money is more important than anything. The club wanted me to go, I have that in my head. I told the directors this, but I think they didn’t have the courage to make that decision.  “I decided to stay, also because of family reasons, but because I genuinely like the club. The conversation with the manager also made me stay. But, from the club’s side, I felt a bit like, ‘if you leave, it’s not so bad for us.’ It hurts me a lot. More than hurting, it makes me sad because I’m a player they have nothing to criticise about. I’m always available, I always play, good or bad. I give my all.  "Then you see things around you, players who don’t value the club as much and don’t defend the club as much… that makes you sad.” Please subscribe now to the TPL YouTube channel for LIVE shows: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisedLandMUFC?sub_confirmation=1 Subscribe to the podcast on Apple & Spotify: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-promised-land-a-manchester-united-podcast/id1582616846 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hS1UG1wGf52m2hcQcEZbH And follow Scott & the show on social media: X https://twitter.com/__scottsaunders IG https://www.instagram.com/__scottsaunders TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@__scottsaunders/ TPL X https://x.com/tplmufc Learn more about your ad choices.

The Promised Land | A Manchester United Podcast
"Amass is struggling" - Is Ruben Amorim putting down the Man Utd academy?
Ruben Amorim has made headlines ahead of the Bournemouth game (again) with something he's said (again!!) when speaking about the Man Utd academy (again!!!), so Scott Saunders digs into the United manager's inflammatory quotes about specifically Harry Amass, who is out on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, and whether Amorim means what people are digesting. There's also a look ahead to Bournemouth and discussion about the ongoing uncertainty about whether United will have some of the most important players missing in the lead up to the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Promised Land | A Manchester United Podcast
The Promised Land is a Manchester United podcast brought to you by football journalist, editor and presenter Scott Saunders talking all the latest on the biggest club in England. Taking an approach of "never too high, never too low", a phrase coined by TPL's former co-host, the late Rob Blanchette, the show aims to bring an element of calmness and measured analysis on what we see on and off the pitch in relation to United. Scott has the unique insight of being a fan of the club for 30 years and working in the football media scene for over a decade, and will often endeavour to bring an alternative eye and critical thinking to what's being reported. There's no shouting or over the top reactions, but instead level-headed conversation on all the latest topics for every United fan to enjoy.
