Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should Carrick Start Benjamin Sesko? | Racist abuse shows football hasn’t evolved
Q: What do you want to see from Vinicius in the second leg against Benfica?
10 out of 10 performance and a hat-trick would be lovely.
Diogo Dalot: I won't hide and I will not play the victim | Why Amorim was so important
Q: What is the Michael Carrick, Manchester United DNA?
Without the ball, we are closing very well the middle, allowing to play a bit more on the outside and then we make them press.
Diogo Dalot: I won't hide and I will not play the victim | Why Amorim was so important
Q: How do you deal with criticism?
As long as I wear this shirt, I will not hide and I will not play the victim.
Diogo Dalot: I won't hide and I will not play the victim | Why Amorim was so important
Q: What would you have changed yourself, given hindsight?
I will look at Ruben as something really, really important in this club's history; he changed a lot of things that you don't see.
Asamoah Gyan: I was 8th highest paid player in world! Why AFCON should be moved
Q: What would be the advice that you'd give to any young aspiring, especially African player, that's making that journey to Europe or the Premier League?
My advice to this young generation is when they are coming to Europe, they should stay focused on their crafts because the difference between African football and European football is based on consistency.
