In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Play a right footed winger on the right side and he crosses with his right foot to get an assist. Logic eh?
You could see what he was trying on the left but didnt have the end product which was not surprising at times. He needs to play on the right tbh so he can cross first time. Glad he got his assist and finished the game.

I liked that he kept taking their defense on and trying to make something happen, eventually getting his rewards. I'm surprised how harsh some are on a 22 year old Academy product who has about half a dozen senior appearances, it's the same ones usually defending their favourite import no matter what.
He produced nothing.
Positive performance, worked hard but lacked a bit of end product at times. Still, he got an assist.
I swear some people think that great movement is easy. Despite us having had dozens of laboured, static attacking players play for us over the last decade or so who rather suggested otherwise.
Yeah sure.that's why he was doubled all the time right?And marked even tighter in the second half..
it's very hard to mark player with such fantastic movement all game, that's is one thing you should remember from now .-)
You're simply too infatuated with him.The most positive thing about Lingard's performance was that he never let his head drop. Jesse messed up a fair deal of good moves and some players would've let that get to them. Depay, for instance, has allowed things not falling for him to really get on his back.
Our goal came from the fact that, instead of going into hiding after squandering chances, Lingard kept playing his game. Obviously we want him to stop being so wasteful, and given that in the past his finishing has been good in the past, you'd imagine its just the pressure of scoring his first United goal that's got him messing up. Still, I was impressed by his willingness to keep receiving the ball and keep running at the CSKA back line.
Very promising.

Well done son nice and positive
Yes I can read. You qualify his good second half by essentially saying it's not really to do with his movement but because he's so shit that the other team just lets him have the ball instead of our other attackers. You must have watched a different game to me.
problem is Rooney tries to control easy balls nd to basic stuff.. Can I ask you who you rate better Mata or LIngard this game? f it's Mata for you even for the first half where he didn't do absolutely nothing then amen.."Lingard tried things"
If you can read, you can also see I said he turned it around in the second half, so take a chill pill.
Get's at his man, he's maybe fell into the United side as we are seriously lacking pace, having said that he's took his chance and now looks like a first team player.
Frustrating moments in parts but kept his head up and finished the game brilliantly. Created some very good chances out of nothing. Fair play to him.
Mata didn't have a good game, but just because Mata didn't do well in the first half doesn't mean Lingard did.
I think that it is his 6th professional game, some people should keep that in mind.
I never said his movement wasn't good but as I also said before, other players (not necessarily in our team) move around well to and don't get this type of space because teams are more aware of them.
I'm not joking, it annoys me so much seeing the slating he got after the first half and the faint praise that some are giving him after an excellent second half. At times he looked relentless.
This is a local lad and he's done very well with the chances he's been given this season. To me he's something to get excited about.
For us you mean? He's had plenty of loan spells.
Thought Jesse was fantastic tonight, just his final pass / finish let him down. Thankfully he got that cross spot on for Rooney which was more than difficult, but he did it perfectly.
He made great runs all night and really dribbled well, often 2v1 he made something happen. I can't believe Some people are criticising him tonight and wanted him subbed, he looked out liveliest player all match!

maybe 6th game for United, he has around 50 games in his professional career.
these forums are full of people like you who lack football knowledge unable to judge player by their overall performance, you don't see the bits of play which we lacked for so long and were so refreshing even if it didn't always come out for him. If everybody played like Mata. That would have been as boring game as last three 0:0 games. that is the reason he was subbed off, you know.-)Yeah sure.
I really like Lingard. Not afraid to try and take on defenders and doesn't let his head drop when things don't pan out for him. Very hard working and has a lovely touch as well. Some more game time and I think he'll develop quite nicely.
doing the basics well. running at his man, making runs, always on the move to make himself available for a pass and working hard for the team. depay needs a slap on his face and needs to watch lingard.
Don't get the first half mass flack. Everything was coming down his side. So many other players that did nothing.
No doubt about it he's better on the right.

This is my opinion too. I don't think he will develop to the right level either.
I liked his positivity today, ordinary first half, but he got much morw joy in the 2nd. Our best attacking player, gets a 7/10 from me
Obviously for us and at that level of exigence.
also I'm glad he's finally getting the chances to shine on our first team after only having pre-season stints and being loaned out afterwards.
He was relentless and kept probing and attacking until they broke down. That is exactly what LvG's system is supposed to do in theory. A wide player is never going to be a high percentage player unless he is extremely cautious and controlled more like Mata. We don't need any more caution and control in attack right now, we needed someone to take the game to the opposition and he did that today.
Are you related to him or something? You respond to nearly everyone who doesn't praise him.
He was shocking first half but much improved in the second. Did very well to cushion the ball into Rooney.
Codswallop. Martial is a fabulous talent and looks a nailed on top class player but ultimately Lingard provided the most threat of anyone today. More dangerous on the night, simple as that.
Loved his attitude, he just kept going at them!
Starts on the weekend for me.

Some people are talking utter shite about him and he's a local lad so I have no problem arguing against those people.
His finish for sure but he had an assist, should of had another early in the 2nd half and set Mata though for the chance Rooney should have put away.
Looked sloppy in the first half but didn't let his head drop and kept looking for the ball and trying to make things happen. Looked sharper in the second and was involved in most of our best moments.
Still think there is more to come (and he'll need to bring it to stay in the team long term) but even now he is developing a the habit of looking like our most dangerous player whether that is scoring or creating (him and Martial anyhow).
It is refreshing to see someone running with the ball from midfield areas on a consistent basis, didn't expect too much of that from him.

aye, pretty much spot on.
didn't have the best of first halves but still looked dangerous. stayed positive and got an assist.
i'm still not convinced he'll make it here, but he deserves his chance and i really hope he proves me wrong. should start at the weekend.
Yeah I don't lack football knowledge, I simply know not overrate a performance. I see good movement, I also see plenty of free room for him to move into. Martial was active in the first half as well, you know, but didn't have the space Lingard received. If you wanna deny that, maybe you should learn to pay more attention to how the opponent plays us.
For us maybe, he's had plenty of professional football out on loan. He was a fan favourite in Brightons successful run.
Had a very good game for someone who has had so little action in our first team.
He was always looking to take people on and was very direct.
He gave it away a lot but I think the more he plays the less of that we will see.

I am certain he will make it here and very happy he is being given an opportunity.
Just want to add. Despite the number of times he lost possession, he never stopped trying. There's players who go into their shell, but he showed a strong mentality, which is vital when playing for a club like United.
