The Overlap

This episode of My Best Coach with Harry Maguire is produced in partnership with Gillette.

Ian Wright sits down with Harry Maguire and his dad, Alan, who played an instrumental role in his career.

The Manchester United centre-back reveals what Michael Carrick is really like in the dressing room and the impact he has made this season.

They look back on Harry’s journey from being coached by his dad to an £80 million move to one of the biggest clubs in world football, including whether the pressure of that transfer fee affected him.

Harry Maguire also opens up on one of the toughest periods of his career, becoming the focus of online abuse that impacted both his dad and his family.

Together, they discuss what happened behind the scenes and how he came through it.

The conversation also covers Harry Maguire’s contact from José Mourinho, losing the Manchester United captaincy, signing a new deal, and his 2026 FIFA World Cup dreams.

Welcome back to another episode of the Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.

Gary Neville returns to the sofa alongside former Manchester United teammate Paul Scholes as they sit down with some of the biggest fan channels in the game.

We start with the title race between Arsenal and Man City, which is going right down to the wire. With a tense end to the season approaching, how are Matt and Luke feeling, who do the fans want to win, and is this Mikel Arteta’s last chance to deliver silverware at the Emirates?

Attention then turns to Manchester United and Spurs, who find themselves on very different paths. United are pushing for Champions League football under Michael Carrick, who has put himself firmly in the frame for the permanent job, while Spurs are dragged into a relegation battle.

Chelsea are also facing uncertainty following Liam Rosenior’s departure. Who comes next at Stamford Bridge, and could former Blue Cesc Fabregas be in the running?

We also hear from Liverpool, Everton and Nottingham Forest, who still have everything to play for as the Premier League season reaches its climax.

Welcome back to another episode of the Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.

In this episode, former Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given joins Jamie Carragher on the sofa alongside some of the biggest fan channels in the country to talk all things football.

We begin with the title race, which is heating up as we approach a blockbuster end to the Premier League season. Can Manchester City catch Arsenal, or will the Gunners finally get the job done?

Attention then turns to the bottom of the table, with Spurs edging closer to the drop. The club have turned to Roberto De Zerbi to try and save their season, but can he turn things around?

We also hear from West Ham and Aston Villa, who still have everything to play for. The Hammers remain in the relegation battle, while Villa continue their push for Champions League qualification.

Liverpool and Manchester United are next under the spotlight. Where does Mo Salah rank among the Premier League’s all-time greats, and would a call from Luis Enrique be too good to turn down at Old Trafford?

Looking ahead, the panel discuss the FA Cup and who could lift the trophy, before turning to Scotland as fans from Hearts, Celtic and Rangers join the debate with the SPL race going down to the wire.
