I reckon we could paint a Chevrolet logo on a brick wall and cover our goal with it and people wouldn't notice anything was different.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I am convinced we will keep De Gea
Navas is a fans favourite and to be fair Courtois is an easier option to get for Real Madrid if they want a goalkeeper.
Trophies. Neuer has won too many, but David hasn't. Until De Gea start winning a lot of trophies, and doing well in UCL and for Spain, it will be like this. It doesn't make it right, but it has always been like this.
If he was playing for Barca/Madrid/Atletico, it wouldn't have been even a debate on who is better.
Best in the world.
Tbh, and I know the whole "defenders & gk's aren't valued as much as strikers" bit is true - but I'd fleece anyone for much more than £50m, especially considering the market.
He's still young & the best in the world in his position. Hell give anyone another 10 years+ easily. In a market where very good players & top potential are touted at starting prices of £40m....id demand huge money.
Back to back penalty saves vs Everton.
I agree with you to some extenet, but it's only because as you said yourself he's a GK, which is pretty much why I stopped at £50 million. Considering Buffon is 38 and has been the most expensive keeper for the last 15 years it just shows that clubs will seldom spend the huge millions on keepers. I genuinely think De Gea is the best keeper I've seen and when I think about it £50 Million doesn't seem enough when you look at the players who have gone for £40 Million + (D.Luiz & Sterling).... But keepers just don't demand those big fees. But if a keeper was to break the record it will be De Gea imo, he's still young and Neuer is 30 so he'll be retiring at Bayern.
Yeah, agreed. I just hope we didn't put in a £30-35m release clause in his contract
Yeah, i agree. It's frustrating though. There's a few "good alternatives" out there but they're all a level or even 2 below DDG. Imagine we got £40m for him? We wouldn't even be able to replace him with a Lloris for that money
If someone at the club did put a clause in the contract and it was only in the £30-£35 range, than that employee probably felt that was a good deal for the club at the time. If you asked me in summer how much I thought De Gea was worth I would have told you £30 million, but his performances this season is making his valuation go way north. I don't see him going to Madrid either, he was banging on about wanting to be a United legend a few months back... That fax machine fecking up in August is going to win United an FA cupYeah, agreed.

let's hope the FA cup and lots of other trophies in the near futureFirst time I heard him speak yesterday, after the game. His English is decent actually. Always had doubts about it, as I've read he had problems with learning it. Glad that's getting sorted, gives me more hope that he could stay longer.
For me he's the best keeper I've ever seen and I'm a huge fan of Schmeichel.. Dave is just too good at times.
Everton fans must hate him. Think that's two or three highlight reel performances in a row against them.
I can almost feel their frustration.
You just know @Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber is having a wank to that gif.
I feel sorry for hating his guts during his first season.
I thought that it was just the press who disliked him
Who remembers that guy who was banned, Kie-something, spent months telling everyone De Gea wasn't very good and wasn't among the top 5 goalkeepers in the league. Wonder if he's finally changed his opinion

I swear there was also someone insistent that Craig Gordon was better and that we'd been robbed for De Gea.
We can't let him leave. He's the best in the world in his position. I don't give a feck what Madrid offer.
@Mockney is a psychic

Lenin said:He's made loads of mistakes. Reminds me of Craig Gordon. Cost twice as much though.
Lets face it if his name was Dave O'Hara he would be getting rightly slagged by everyone.

The Danny Welbeck delusion on here is/was simply astonishing.
Probably would have had more records and trophies if he'd stayed at Atletico.
Sad but trueProbably would have had more records and trophies if he'd stayed at Atletico.
Maybe, there's still plenty of time here, we can hopefully reward him with an FA cup this season for a start.Probably would have had more records and trophies if he'd stayed at Atletico.
Man Utd 1:1 Leicester
Congrats, poor guy
Name the East Stand after him
He doesn't even have competition

There's no keeper in the league who's close to De Gea. And only Neuer on the planet who's near De Gea's class.
Another brilliant season. Ridiculous keeper.
Honestly think he has surpassed Neuer now. Neuer makes a fair few mistakes, whereas De Gea rarely does. I can only remember 1 mistake of his in the last two seasons, which is the Coutinho goal where he allowed the angle for him to score in. If he was at Real, Barca, Bayern, or maybe even PSG he would be classed as the best in the world.
