The Michael Owen Debate & Was Louis van Gaal Better Than Fergie?

Does Wayne think he was better than Michael Owen at 17? That’s what you’re all here for and Wayne, Kelly and Kae discuss this on the latest episode. Wayne gives his response and reveals what it was like playing alongside Owen and what he’s really like behind closed doors. Meanwhile, Wayne remembers how a helicopter used to sometimes show up at the Manchester United training ground: but who was the passenger and where was it going? Wayne also takes us inside the colourful world of the Louis van Gaal era at Manchester United. He explains where he thinks he was better than Sir Alex, what it was like when everyone knew Van Gaal was being sacked after the 2016 FA Cup Final and reveals the incredible comment the Dutchman made the first time he met Colleen. There’s also some chat about which reality show Wayne would do - and the one thing that might put him off it, why Roy Hodgson wanted a statue in Malmo, Kae explains how the first 30 seconds of a stand up comedy gig is like a first tackle in football, and Wayne gives his verdict on England’s win over Andorra and declares whether he’d ever want to be an international manager.
