Joe Molloy was joined by Matt Slater on Tuesday's Off The Ball to discuss Dave Brailsford, a central figure in Jim Ratcliffe's plans to revitalise Manchester United.

Having spent a number of years covering Team Sky for the BBC as they came to dominate cycling under Brailsford's stewardship, Matt has explored the rise (blemishes and all) of Brailsford in an exceptional two-part profile for The Athletic.

In this conversation with Off The Ball, Joe and Matt discuss Tour de France victories, 'marginal gains', jiffy bags and what Dave Brailsford's longstanding reputation for achievement in sports that haven't yet been football might mean for Manchester United.
