Welcome to The Good, The Bad & The Football – the new show from Manchester United legends Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt and comedic superfan Paddy McGuinness. Every week, they dive into the conversations fans are really having - on WhatsApp groups, building sites and in barbershops across the country - served up with the humour and honesty only real Northern lads can deliver. Across the season, they’ll be joined by some of football’s biggest names, sharing stories, debates and behind-the-scenes insights from years at the heart of one of the game’s most successful teams. No executive boxes. No croissant-laden tables. Just real football, real talk, and real laughs. Straight from the heart of the game. New episodes every Monday.
