In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Meh. Too diplomatic for a pundit. Sack him
No controversial comments. Boring. Get rid
EDIT: Around 9:00 ish and so on. Free kick comments about CR.

I watched this yesterday. Someone who actually knows what they are talking about is a strange thing to witness in football punditry
This reminds me of back in 2004 after just winning the CL with Porto he was the commentator on portuguese TV for Portugal-Spain in the Euros group stages and it was the best commentating I've ever seen. He likes coaching too much and it would be a waste but I like pundit Mourinho.
Watched that last night. Talking about attacking fullbacks must have pained him. Talks a good game but....... Doesnt walk a good game these days
Sad when people associate controversy with exciting. It's what gives us the likes of Souness.
It's the info they give you want.

What did he say about De Gea?

Exactly
Did Mourinho say anything controversial?
Oh ffs Mourinho throwing his players under the bus yet again, where's the protection?! Hahahahaha
Good comments from him. As much as he can really say in that situation.
Best punditry there is, could listen to the man for ages. Hopefully he does this more often and other top class coaches will follow.
But Jose should never ever defend a player!! He does things wrong! just like with Martial especially!!!
Wtf is this, his persona in WC is a different one. He's a manager who is gloomy and talks shit all the time. He's past it, sack him before the season starts, He's pretending.
Everything is his fault, in the land of make believe.

Kind of has to be careful because if he speaks praise of a player everyone will think he is after them and it will also per off other managers
This
One of the few times I enjoy listening to the studio stuff is when one of the top coaches are there. Interesting to learn how they think about the game, as they're arguably those who understand it the best.
Is there a link where we can watch/hear his post match views live?
Its very bizarre these days.
Iceland Analysis
Absolutely love the guy. Outside of his United manger persona he offers such a likable character, one with actual knowledge about the game also.
Damn, he's so handsome.
I think Iceland were compact
Mourinho of course loved it, thats how he would like United to play against the big boys too. Compact and tight
I think Iceland were compact
Iceland did it the Mourinho way. See the joy in his eyes talking about their compactness.He's not bad. I'm just a little confused why he's spending the summer working for one of Putin's propaganda channels instead of taking a month off.
"I would save the same as Caballero"
Man, I want to dislike the guy based on his team's playing styles and his managerial decisions. The truth is, he is so eloquent and funny when he's not in a post-match interview after a loss.
If I was his player, I would run through a brick wall for him. I know many say he is not great at handling young talents, but if you were someone like McTominay, under the radar, working hard, just pushed onto the big stage and needing guidance on how to act in your first steps in a big team, Jose sounds like a perfect fit. Look at how Varane turned out, one hell of a CB and no prima donna behaviour.

Give it to Giggsy til the end of the World Cup
It's interesting to hear him talk, he's all about the defence. Quite a unique point of view and really insightful, he also speaks really really well, as he usually does when he's not raging.
Thought the part on the Ronaldo free and how he wouldn't have given it was really interesting.

He's only covering the first week. And earning £1m+ in the process.
He should consider a permanent career in punditry.
Would prefer if he'd chosen to spend the summer resting, and studying how to play the sort of football that is befitting the club he is currently managing.
Well, I think a World Cup is a pretty good place to pick up some new ideas.
You’re right. God forbid a guy go to watch his country play in the World Cup.
Just as long as he's open to it then great.
Oh come on, most managers are on holiday right now. He has to have a life outside of United and apparently he's only there until next week.
Whilst been paid a fortune to do so, flipping hero, nice to see all his co mangers there doing the same..
I will admit that I am biased though, I just don't like him.
