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?
Di Maria crosses to Lukaku would be a pretty lethal combo. Certainly could use his creativity.
We should just buy Neymer and save them the hassle of thinking who to sell.
Aurier and ADM on the cheap would be good business - opportunistic
Yes please.We should just buy Neymer and save them the hassle of thinking who to sell.
The sad thing is Neymar hinted that he wouldn't be opposed to joining us a couple months ago. But there's no way we have the money to pay what is necessary to get this deal done.
Football needs to get on top of this quickly because it is not right that the biggest and most financially successful clubs cannot compete with playboy oil money.
It does sound like UEFA are going to investigate Man City again though at least.
it depends on the nature of Di Maria's exit - did he settle in Manchester?
I think it had more to do with Van Gaal and his use of him - what attacking player apart from Martial and Rashford prospered under Van Gaal
along with Lukaku, Lindelof and Matic this would represent a very good summer
People really suggesting we get ADM back? I wouldn't want him anywhere near the club.
Same here, I'd prefer we sign James Milner
Anyway I am sure ADM feels the same way about us, he ain't coming back.I respect you have some measured and objective opinion on Shaw, but serious injuries are not like in FIFA career mode. There's no timeline in which you get back restored to your previous condition. A broken leg can have other effects especially at the age of 20. Some should really cut the boy some slack, i'm not saying you, but there are posters here slating him like it was his fault for losing a crucial year of his development.
Needless to say i like Shaw, and in those few games he played fit and ready he's showed what he's capable of, some people have short memories. In those games he's showed and looked much more a Manchester United full-back than Darmian for example.
bannable offense
This will be a superb signing!
Totally agree with this.
People are saying we need a LB more than we need a RB. I get the point but I think Jose is happy to trust Darmien, Mitchell and Blind to handle that wing. The right back position is more light. If Valencia gets hurt, we might be in serious trouble. Darmien is a back up there but he is limited. Getting Aurier makes a lot of sense especially considering his versatility (he can actually play across the backline and even in the midfield) and attacking instinct.
He got injured after a whole season here, even in his first season he wasn't particularly impressive.
In any case, nobody is saying the injury is his failure or whatever. The facts of the matter though, is that we thought we were signing a left back for the team because we needed one. If for whatever reason - broken leg, gone to prison for a few years - whatever the reason really, that Shaw cannot give us the service, the need still exists, and basically hasn't been addressed for an entire 3 years since Shaw joined, for a number of reasons. We need to sign another left back, so that we can have a left back when Shaw can't be a left back (which seems to be often). Again, that player doesn't have to cost 50m, the club need to do a lot better than only seeing a 50m player as the only optional on the market.
I'll say again, Andy Robertson is a quality LB who cost Liverpool 7.5m. We could have done far worse. As it is, Shaw will miss the start of the season, then I'm unsure how long exactly will be written off after that under the 'cut him some slack, he's just recovered from injury' policy. By that time, we'll be well into the fourth season in a row of getting very little return on our investment in him. A squad should have two good options at LB anyway.
I don't want Di Maria and really hate him, but at the same time, it won't be surprise if Jose moved for him if there's a chance as he definitely won't know the circumstances of him leaving.

I dont think Di Maria would want a move back. He can take the another option and move somewhere else, we are not the only club interested in him anyway
He wasn't particularly impressive but none of our players were. That was under LVG and i i remember there where couple of small injuries that interrupted his first season here after playing 2 seasons for Southampton without a single injury if i remember correctly. Which to me points out to a bit of bad luck as well as his young age and development.
It has been addressed by investing in an expensive, young English talent in Shaw, who as i said has been unlucky. We could have gone for Robertson but we already have solid option in Darmian and Blind, while Mitchell should be in our future planning when we think of buying another young left-back like Robertson/Tierney.
My point is i can see the management's logic in having trust in Shaw's potential and giving him a final season while we have other priorities at this moment, like the problem of scoring goals and not having an influential winger that could win us matches. Bringing even Mendy for example wouldn't have solved that, whatever way we put it out.

Sunderland to consider Gibson's future after calling the club S*** and his teammates don't give a f***.
I personally don't agree that Darmian and Blind are good enough to play left back for a prolonged period for us. Mitchell isn't up to it yet either, and the fact he played only 55 mins on tour, 10 mins at right wing, the rest at left wing back. It doesn't look like Jose sees him as a proper LB option.
Your points are fair though, and I don't intend to write off Shaw, but I don't think the Plan B is good enough. For one reason or another, we have had to rely on Plan B at left back a lot more than we have.needed to at RB, which is why I preferred an extra LB to Aurier, good as he is.
He's only 29? Looks about 40. Must be the booze.

Would love us to snap him up.
If we do get him we would have unbelievable attacking talent in our reserve/youth team.
I mean, he's got the right idea of leaving City, but a 17 year old failing to turn up for training several times is ridiculous. Imagine somebody like Angel Gomes kicking up the same fuss?
I'm going to take a wild guess and say he'll never make it at a top club, to show signs of disrespect at 16 to a club that pays you handsomely shows terrible attitude problems.
Do it.
Didn't he get done for drink driving a couple of years ago? Starting to think he has a problem. He looks in awful shape though, I barely recognised him from the picture.
Didn't he supposedly, I emphasise supposedly, turn up worse the wear for training with us, the supposed same incident with Wayne.
Is Aurier a right back? And what are the chances of him getting back in the UK?

He would be excellent for Liverpool although I think he would prefer Arsenal.

PSG hopes to complete the deal in 24-48 hours
if this were to happen.Yes please. Sancho and Gomes together.
I doubt it will happen as he would only be moving because he wants to start getting chances, and we've already got the likes of Rashford and Martial looking for opportunities alongside Lukaku (who is quite young himself). He's probably more likely to see the other top teams as more likely to give him chances in the not too distant future.

have only seen YouTube clips of Sancho, what's his main position?
not turning up to training several times is not a good sign... (Unless of course, the reason he has not turned up is that city have let him go or he has already signed for another team and the paper is trying to sensationalise it)
