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?
Higher ceiling than R. Pereira in your view?I agree. Very difficult to beat 1on1. Suffers from overconfidence though
Different players. Pereira has more work rate and team play but not so strong defensively. He's more like a less elegant but unpredictable Valencia
Which ceiling is higher is up to each own tactical adaptation and difficult to say at this time.
"Less elegant Valencia" is quite the backhanded compliment.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm almost sure António is an excellent dancer.
I hope the reports are true about Semedo coming to us. Would be a very exciting addition at fullback.
More excited about the possibility of getting a new young RB than signing the Swedish CB tbh
Hopefully not another Bosingwa
Me too, I'm not negative on Lindelof, I don't feel about him any kind of way, just trusting Jose, but Semedo has looked exciting in a few games I've seen, he's technically great and agile.
Yep. Same here. I didn't know who Bailly was before he signed but when I saw his highlights reel I thought he could have a chance. Not saying I doubt Lindelof based entirely on clips but I just haven't warmed to the idea and he looks a bit like Jonjo Shelvy and Skyrtel
. So yes we just have to trust JoseHe does have a bit of a Skyrtel look.Yep. Same here.

Jose has a really good track record with CB's so it's all we can do, but I want to see more on the Semedo part of this deal, it dried up a bit after the news first dropped.According to Record we're sending scouts to watch him tonight, Twitter rumours rehashing what was said yesterday that Benfica willing to sell but only if he can be loaned back to them for the remainder of the season.
This guy is the new Phillip Lahm
That was fabulous
I sincerely hope he's coming in, those vids look fecking impressive! Would be like a right-sided Evra. Imagine if/when Shaw gets his form back, that would be one threatening FB partnership...
Perfect understudy for Valencia for a year or so
Playing now on Sky Sports 2
Gonna catch the second half. I've heard varying reports on the guys.
BT sport 2
Any chance he can play on the left? Happy with Valencia on the right, but non of our left back options are any good.
That second clip was pretty impressive. Lovely strike in the first too.
My bad.
Want want...want.
Reminds me of Gary Neville
Phillip Neville I reckon
Shaw will be a very good player
Rio Ave didn't offer much opposition tonight but boy the guy is so slight.
Brilliant
Looks rapid with a good touch.
Understudy? He's probably been playing RB longer than Tony.
He looks really good from the clips! He's rapid. If Jose wants him I don't see any reason we can't do this transfer in the summer at the latest. Question is if he'll join in January or not.
He's still young and Valencia is not gonna step back right now, so he could be eased in and given the time he needs
Aka a younger Valencia. Let's get him.
uses his left foot. Do not want!This kid drives forward with the ball so well. He reminds me a mixture of Valencia and Rafael, that can't be a bad thing!
We need to see how good he is defensively, as most of those videos are attack v defence. But hell I would rather this guy be playing at RB than Darmian

Jose will hone his defensive side, but his attacking quality would be a great addition as we've seen how much Valencia offers on the overlsap, especially in the bulk of games where we dominate the ball and have to stretch the pitch against packed defenses.This kid drives forward with the ball so well.

Yep, he actually reminds me of Maicon the most. Got that brilliant stamina, but also quick feet.
