Manchester is RED

Manchester is RED comes from the Manchester Evening News, which means Steven Railston and Tyrone Marshall bring the kind of local journalism perspective that national outlets simply cannot match. With 747 episodes and semi-weekly releases, the MEN team has been covering United through every twist and turn of recent years. The show is strongest when it breaks local news or provides context that only beat reporters embedded in Manchester can deliver. When there are rumors about what is happening inside the club, these are often the journalists who either confirm or deny them first. Episodes run 33-59 minutes and cover team news, match analysis, and the politics surrounding the club. The production has a straightforward news-podcast feel — no comedy bits, no elaborate segments, just two knowledgeable reporters discussing what they know. Some listeners flag excessive advertising and occasionally uneven audio between hosts, which is a common issue with newspaper podcast operations. The show holds a 4.1 rating from 94 reviews. That score partly reflects frustration with ads rather than the quality of analysis, which is consistently solid. If you want your United coverage from journalists who attend every press conference and have relationships with people inside the club, this delivers that local newspaper authority in podcast form.
