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?

Thanks. I thought it was about klopp
SW is pretty awesome.Oh. Who is the guy from PSG we were linked with, am confused. Anyway, I could see us sign two this window...
Sanchez has mostly played on the left. Played once on the right last season and nine times the season before according to transfermarkt. We'll see.
Sign him first then we can think when he'll play. That's the least of our problems now.
Lucas Moura.
I don't agree with this. One thing Jose always does is build functional, defensively well-drilled teams that rely on sporadic genius from a couple of world class attackers to bring the goals. Sanchez would be given the freedom to do what he does. It's not quite the same for the likes of Mata/Martial/Rashford/Micky as they've never shown that level of genius on a regular basis, and have to make up for that with extra work rate and defensive stability to earn their place. Of course, Sanchez would still have to work hard, like Jose demanded of Hazard, but I don't think he'd be strait-jacketed, per se.
What about Rashford and Martial then? Move Sanchez centrally every now and then? Lingard on the RW. Could work
Sanchez can, and has played on the right wing, though. Actually, according to transfermarkt, he has spent most of his career om the right.

Him!!
He barely has the last three years though (when he's been at his best). We'll see.
Alexis - Lukaku
Martial - Matic - Pogba - Mata
Shaw - Rojo - Bailly - Valencia
De Gea
Literally just Atletico Madrid but better.Martial - Matic - Pogba - Mata
Shaw - Rojo - Bailly - Valencia
De Gea
He's good enough that him simply being available is enough reason to buy. I like Martial and Rashford plenty, but Alexis is a better player than both and we'd have a stronger squad with him. I believe he can play on the right anyway
If Alexis is not in the Arsenal starting XI tomorrow...
I have to be honest, and I am sure theres a few like me, I would take more joy in pissing of City than having Alexis in the team but only because Im not enamored with his behavior at Arsenal. He is still quality though.
I really hate to get excited unless it’s absolutely done but feck me It’s getting weirdly exciting. Can’t believe it still happens. The heartbreak will be a disaster.

We probably (or most certainly) paid Raiola something for his involvement but the fee % owed to Raiola was used as the agent fee in the media and it's definitely the one this City reporter is referring to. Most even suggested that Juve would only sell if we paid Raiola's share. So no wonder that most people conveniently "missed" Juve's official statement as it didn't fit in with the narrative they were going for the entire summer.

pretty much what I expected him to say.
“The word we can find to be speaking about players of other clubs. If somebody speaks of one of my players to tell we are interested or we are not interested, I wouldn’t be very, very happy.
“Sanchez is an Arsenal player, I don’t know but probably this weekend he is going to defend Arsenal colours so I don’t think it’s correct to say things about Alexis Sanchez.
“At the general level what I can say is myself and the Manchester United board, the owners, we don’t believe a lot in the January market, we don’t believe in signing a player just to sign a player, just to do something, we don’t believe in that.
“What we believe really is there are some players in football world if you have the chance to sign them in January, in March or in July, you have to try and that’s it.
“But in relation to Alexis Sanchez I don’t say a word, the only word I can say is he is a phenomenal player, apart from that an Arsenal player and I feel I shouldn’t say much more than this.”

"No value in the transfer market" Pep Guardiola
Can't believe the love rival fans have for each other. Liverpool, Arsenal and City fans absolutely fawn over one another.
He'll score on his debut here
I don't think Martial tracks back enough to play as a left midfielder in that setup.
I think it's going to be more like:
Lukaku
Martial/Rashford --- Lingard --- Sanchez
Then next season:Martial/Rashford --- Lingard --- Sanchez
Lukaku
Martial/Rashford --- Griezmann --- Sanchez
Martial/Rashford --- Griezmann --- Sanchez
Since when have Man City started penny pinching?
They all hate us, thats their denominator.
Its time to unzip lads, its no going back now
I'm sure he can manage the weight of a jersey number.
Just think about that. Sanchez combining with Pogba and Martial
Exactly. Our dominance under SAF was too hard for them.
Isn't this a spitting replica of the van Persie transfer? World class attacker has outgrown Arsenal and looks to be going to one of the Manchester clubs, aged 29 for one last major transfer, with his contract expiring so for a cut price.
It's so on
It's so on
Don't think he will be. Not with all this talk going on. His mind won't be on the game.If Alexis is not in the Arsenal starting XI tomorrow...
So true.I really hate to get excited unless it’s absolutely done but feck me It’s getting weirdly exciting. Can’t believe it still happens. The heartbreak will be a disaster.
Martial better not spend the rest of the season on the bench though. Martial Lukaku Rashford. Im off to make this happen on pes.
Maybe it was a case that it'd smash their wage-structure and FFP might get involved, I don't have any expertise on this however.
It's the new, 'holier than thou' Manchester City.
Either that or he's hinting at said colours being predominantly red
I really dont give a feck where he plays. Sign him up first and then Jose will figure how to use him. Maybe we need a back up for Valencia, after all we signed him as a winger.
