    11/08/2026 | 18 mins.
    Did Alan Shearer actually turn Manchester United down in 1996? It's one of the most infamous 'what if's in United's history of failed transfers.

    Former Manchester United chairman Martin Edwards reveals the truth of the matter, joining Wayne Barton to look back at the reaction to Shearer joining Newcastle in 1996, and reflecting on it thirty years later.

    “We’ve got a championship to win” Roy Keane in 2000

    07/08/2026 | 12 mins.
    Roy Keane has become renowned for his explosive outbursts regarding the standards at Manchester United.

    In this episode of United Unheard, we look at the European campaign of 1999/2000, where, as reigning holders, United faced off against Fiorentina and Real Madrid. The club were in dominating form in the league but, after suspension ruled him out of the 1999 Champions League final, Keane had an extra incentive to win the biggest prize in European football. His comments around these matches make fascinating listening of a Manchester United captain at the very peak of his powers and influence.

    What if Sir Bobby Charlton had been appointed chairman of Manchester United in 1989?

    In the first episode of United Unheard, we examine the aftermath of the Michael Knighton takeover saga, where a new group emerged pledging to appoint one of the club's most beloved figures in the club's history as the man at the top. Only, that was news to him, and Charlton was keen to put the record straight.
