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 want to do unspeakable things to Florentino Perez. There is not a more vile cretin in the game today.
I have faith in Mourinho. I think DDG will be happy to play under him.
No more than three tweets per post please.
Sorry, will tidy it up now.
That is Duncan Castles speak for 'De Gea is staying'.
Although De Gea is miles better, if he wants to leave and has a release clause then Courtois wouldn't be an awful replacement.
Perez is such a Muppet 
If we signed Kroos I'd be so happy, he was class as usual tonight for Germany.
Likes a hollywood pass too, Rooney will be against this transfer
Wouldn't matter if Verratti wanted the move though, would cost an arm and a leg, mind.
And the list goes on!
I thought slap head was banned
Not since Mourinho is our manager.
Courtois would be a good replacement but Chelsea wouldn't sell to us and I think we're keeping DDG anyway
hyperbole is so popular on football forums... DDG had a better season but he's not miles better than Courtois, who is still TOP5 goalkeeper and one of the biggest prospects in the world of football when it comes to goalkeepers. I wouldn't change DDG him for any player in the world but he's replacable mainly because he cant dominate the air space, we were freaking terrible last couple of years in the air and having a goalkeeper who can do that is very useful especially in the premier league.. Curtois, only one cm short from 2m tall goalkeeper, has a big edge on ddg in this, he would be a great replacement certainly better than Oblak or Navas, chelsea wouldn't sell though
Yea, "miles" is exaggerating but he's better than Courtois no question.

I actually do think he's miles better. DDG has improved incredibly over the last few years. Apart from his insane reflexes, his distribution has incredibly improved as has is commanding of the penalty area in set pieces. I agree that Courtois would be probably be better than Navas and Oblak, I just think DDG is in a league of his own along with Neur. The rest are just a tier below.
^^ Thats a tweet I don't mind the look of
This is going to be this seasons muppetry full swing, I ain't getting involved as I've retired as Thiago and Vidal pushed me over the edge of muppetry breakdown!
Fabinho would be a great signing.
Fabregas, Vidal, Bale ...
I dont believe a single thing coming from that cnut Castles.Doubt its true at all,Perez is not pushing nor is JM convincing DDG to stay but this way JM will be turned into hero.
Yeah he is talking crap. Also us being linked with another Chelsea player in Courtois. Maybe we can just swap their entire squad with ours as Jose had all those players on his side when he managed them last.
Bale was never really muppetry to me. I was deep in the Fabregas and Thiago stuff though. I view this one like Bale in that it's too far out of our reach for it to happen.
I thought Castles was ban from here or at least he used to be...?
Castles was banned for a few hours earlier this month. Utdreport is banned though.
Probably not, but Verratti has more quality and potential. He's the perfect replacement for Scholes we've needed all these years.
Even though I believe that Darmian can improve a lot under Mourinho, I really like the idea of signing Fabinho. He is able to play as a DM or a CB too.
Verratti has more quality right now but potential? Thats easily Pogba. Verratti is 5'5" while Pogba is 6'3" and a much better athlete. Pogba is more capable of producing that match winning moment.
Scholes is 5'6, N'Zonzi is 6'3. Pogba may be the better 'athlete', but he's not the better midfielder...
Hindsight is amazing isnt it?
Except that is still debatable for many people. And that comparison is really insulting to Pogba's quality.
What's 'insulting' is claiming that a footballer, because of his size, is better than another. My comparison is based on the claim you've made, where Pogba's superior physical attributes make him the better footballer... Absurd claim. I do understand the qualities of a physical specimen (take Yaya, for example), but I absolutely do not see any negative to technically gifted, controlling midfielders who are 5-foot-something. There is no correlation between physical size and ability.
Pogba fades, I don't find he's consistent enough yet. Verratti controls games. I would say most on the caf at the moment would rate Verratti higher.
Sneijder, Ozil, Benzema, Ronaldinho...
