This week The Football Book Club are reading former United maverick and current Lyon striker Memphis Depay's 2019 book 'Heart of a Lion'. And who better to read it with them than journalist & The Athletic's Manchester United correspondent Carl Anka?
In a book like no other we've read before, we're whisked from Ghana to Manchester, with a quick stopover at Wickes, chatting Memphis the rapper, Pokemon tattoos and why it never worked out for him at United.
Plus Ken's back with a new song and we talk to Carl about what's shaping up to be the most open season in Premier League history.
