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?

They've got Lovren and Sakho and got at least Matip coming in the summer.
Gosh, that's awful.

EMD: Barca's main target upfront will be Gameiro, who has a €40m release clause. They only want to pay €25m though, and alternatives are Vietto, Lucas Perez of La Coruna and a currently still unknown player.

Jese Rodriguez close to signing for Espanyol after QSF chat
I was hoping he could be an outside option for us. Very quick, good finisher and also strong. Can play right and centre.

No he's fallen down to 4th choice behind Toure. Lovren has improved loads since Klopp came in, and Sakho was the best of the rest. I think Matip has been brought in as a starter too so Skrtel was always going to struggle to get any game time.
Looked very good in the game against Iceland.

Why is it that BVB can tie up deals for players currently playing in the Euros but we can't?
It's as much of a secret at this point as Mourinho was.

The least he could have done is mention the right paper?
As if we'd ever pay him so much. Maybe half that if he's lucky.
5m euros is about £65k a week.

Surely he is not worth that much!!!!
Mental. 35m??
He is. A lot of people will eat their words in the future.
The €5m is Embolo's wages. Inaccurate from Utdreport.
The funny thing is that people are worried that BvB are selling too much but they are actually tying up deals as they go along on the other hand we are still tying our laces!
€35m is not much for a forward nowadays.
It is for a kid.
Kids used to be cheap but not anymore.
He's a full fledged international playing regularly in Europe with great potential, hence the price.

Yet nobody's batting an eyelid at City (or us) throwing €50m at Sane, a kid we've seen just as little of.
Unfortunately I think that City will be in pole position here since I can envision CL being a deciding factor, and probably Pep.
We could point to Martial and Rashford and show which chances youth are offered at us compared to City though, basically if you are good enough RW starting spot is yours.
Really want this player. Him on the right and Martial on the left would traumatize defenders.

Our name being thrown in there now randomly when it seems the City deal is so close, swear this is the first time we've been linked with him in a long time.

This. I'm yet to see why the huge fuss is made about Sane.
Champions League Qtr Final in Madrid.... plus hes been good in a better league than Embolo. Both are top talents though.
You haven't learned from Martial?
I'm not siding on one over the other it just seems the Caf experts can tell you whether a player is worth a certain amount based on his age, contract or even tell you if we shouldn't sign someone because of their mentality.
The way I look at it is if the club truly wants a player the selling club will always raise the amount if United are involved, we can't base it on our own valuation as a supporter or then feel we were right, if the said player then goes to another club for less. We tend to buy high, sell low and I'm not sure how some of the other European clubs tend to do the opposite.
Personally though I'm all for signing young talent but nothing will get my inner muppet harder than signing an already elite top class player.
I hope Memphis and Adnan are given chances to show their quality next season. Not sure if I'm in the minority in that regard but it sure does feel like it.
I hope so too, but I also hope we bring in players as competition too, in case they don't do well.
Depends on their attitudes. They have to give everything they have in training to get chances in games. If they carry on as reported, which has not to be true, but if it was, then i see dark for boh of them, especially Januzaj
That's true enough. I think that having Ibra around will help them, take the spotlight off them, so to speak. From what I've seen, I think they've got enough talent between them to still build successful careers at United, even if they don't hit the heights of Ronaldo or Giggs.
