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?
what a weird move for him, shame he didn't get a proper chance, got stuck in a team with some average players, some early promoted players and a sub-par manager. Best of luck, still think he can become a great player
Don´t understand this press release.
A 18 year old doesn´t play for the Academy or youth squad. Is he a signing for the u23s, the foundation or just going on trial? Wouldn´t United let them have kits?
I don't understand it either, I read it 3 or 4 times, thought somebody on the Cafe might be able to shed some light on it
Crystal Palace academy head of operations and performance director Steve Higham is set to join Manchester United.
Higham joined Palace in January 2017, in part to replace academy manager Ben Smith, who departed to take up a position with the Football League.
Higham was tasked locating a permanent home for the academy since it moved out of the main Beckenham training ground, in order to help push them towards category one status.
The role works alongside academy director Gary Issott, who focuses more on the coaching and recruitment side.
It has been a successful season for the academy. The under-23s and under-18s both came out as winners in the regional section of their respective leagues, while the under-15s were defeated in the regional Floodlit Cup Final by Chelsea, and the under-14s progressed to the quarter-final of the Albert Phelan Cup where they suffered defeat by eventual regional winners Wolves.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Levi Lumeka and Jason Lokilo stepped up from the under-23 side to make their first-team debuts, with Wan-Bissaka also earning a maiden England under-20 call-up.
But after just 18 months at the club, Higham will leave South London this summer to join United.
He previously spent 13 years with the Premier League and his final role before joining Palace was as head of youth operations where he was responsible for implementing the Elite Player Performance Plan.
Palace are set to secure a long-term home for the academy and there is due to be a significant investment which should propel them to reach Category 1 status in the coming seasons.

Hopefully the managerial appointment is also close.
Probably to fill McKenna's boots.
According to a guy who runs Palace Youth twitter account, he did an excellent job in improving Palace's academy.

Be a good move for the lad if he stays in England.

Actually United has offered him a new contract, so the article is build on a misunderstanding.
Yeah didn't understand that part, but if there is any truth in it still a good move for him
Apparently signed another promising American talent.

Nah been with us since U15s.
Has it been announced who'll take over as u18s manager?
I haven't heard anything but I wouldn't be surprised if Neil Ryan moves up from the u16s
If you don't mind me asking, what style of football does Neil Ryan play? Is it anything like the U18s last season?
I read somewhere that Neil Ryan was going to Austria with the youth team. The only other coaches the article mentioned were Nicky Butt and Ricky Sbragia, so I'm assuming they are implying that Ryan will be leading the academy team
Just found this, don't know if it's been posted yet:
Man Utd have signed two youngsters but did not name them among their academy intake in the summer transfer window.

They tend to play decent football but when I've seen them they tend to look a bit tactically naive compared to the opposition & throw away games they should be winning comfortably but obviously they don't do a huge amount of tactical work below the u18s.

Is Paul stalking someone? Or is he on trial and not on trail

Wiki has him as 16 years old, poor journalism if theyrr wrong, anyway is he any good JB? I ask as you're clearly clued up on all matters youth.
Forgot to tag, thanks.
Yes he's 16. 1 month older than Greenwood. Manchester born.
On Twitter, someone asked JB what he thinks.
“Would be a bit surprised considering the players we already have in the same position & the same age”
Thanks, so nothing like a got prospect? Strange considering its take a milkiom pounds, obviously that's chump change to United, but seems a waste.
I've never seen him play so hard to say but he'll have to be very good to get games ahead of the likes of Garner, Levitt, Galbraith, Traore ,Puigmal & a few others
Hard to believe he's only 16
He looks like Tanguy Ndombele! Obviously not in appearance, just playing style.
From that video he doesn't remind me of anybody, which might not be a bad thing.
It's gone quiet on the Ndombele front, last I heard he was linked with Spurs
