  • United Podcast Worth Listening To

    There are very few Man Utd podcasts listening to but ‘Theatre Of Red’ is certainly one of them. I look forward every week to a new show dropping and whether Sean is on his own or talking to a guest of the calibre of David May or Henry Winter it is always a great listen. Highly recommended imho.
