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?
Link doesn't work. Leads to a 404.

Edit:System seems to be editing the link. Should be lower case for mourinho not title case

It's simple guys, according to Jamie Jackson we should sign 7 first team players.
He saying what any halfwit utd fan knows,get rid of Smalling, Valencia, Young, Jones, Darmian, Rojo, Herrera & McTominay.
And still it does not happen
We sign players and they stagnate. It's ridiculous really. How many of our signings have come to this club and improved as players? We need a shake down from top to bottom.
It has happened over and over, with different coaches. Rarely has there been a positive surprise, but many negative where talents or established star players disappoint.
We're at the point now where before big league games they must drop acid.
So his solution is to spend a billion pounds by signing the likes of pjanic(unavailable), sandro(unavailable), another cb, another mid, a talent like sane cos they are lying around and a 20 goal scorer from the wing?
Wow managing is easy.
Wow managing is easy.
So we only need to sign a completely new back four, get a new midfielder, an elite finisher and a game-changer. Genius! Incredible insights in this article.
Other clubs sign players and they make an immediate impact. People on here write it off as the honeymoon period before they get 'found out'. We sign players and they can't even make it into the starting XI
Whats your definition of unavailable?
Juventus wanted €60m but we werent willing to pay and decided to rest our hope on shaw.
Quality players are usually not cheap.
Players who wouldn't want to leave a juve side top of serie a for a united one that is eight right now
One of uniteds biggest issues is player loyalty.
For example chelsea signed bakayoko last summer and he was shit, so this season they replaced him and hes disappeared.
We sign a player, they're generally poor, yet thry remain around the first team squad for year, getting loads of playing time. We seem to have quite a few of these sorts of players as well.

Do you have any evidence that either player doesnt want to come to United or you are just assuming?
If a signing doesnt work, its the managers fault and we cant let him replace them
It's even simpler than that.....hire a manager who has a fecking clue.
Jamie, we all know you're reading this, so let me do the honours: just feck off and find a new job.
So Jamie's solution is to buy Juventus.
The link is not working. Can i copy paste the article here?
Genius advice for the attack: get "an elite-level finisher and a game changer", not even suggesting actual players
Did Souness write this article?
Amazed at how fans think they know better as they can see the bigger picture. We've no idea of how a club runs and the politics involved. We're certainly not privy to how the owners direct the club to be ran. Sounds so simply just to offload players and everything will,be fine, but it isn't.
He's not wrong but personally I'd keep Herrera as a bench option and sell Lukaku.
This is not a realistic article for an overhaul of a real football club but it is guidance and tactics for when starting off playing a football management game.
Rojo, darmian, fellaini, herrera, jones?
Jamie cribbed this article from the caf. It's just a cobbled together rehash of what we've been saying for a long time.
we cant replace them cos its mourinho's job to turn them into superstars
Why would any Juventus player want to join us?! That seems to be his solution.. Buy Juventus. Yeah... Favourites for the champions League, just signed Ronaldo, but sure.
He's an arse. It's not about competing with city right now, it's about being able to outplay Brighton and Newcastle without it being a total struggle. If we were only second best to city we'd be 3 points behind them, not 12.

Ah. Sarcasm. Missed it the first time!
Do you have any evident that either player wants to come to United or are you just assuming?
Jamie Jackson article so on that basis I won’t be investing. I’m out
It is fair to assume, until there is clear evidence to the contrary, that a player is willing to join and the club is willing to sell at the right price. Otherwise why bother pursuing players and not simply wait for them to profess their undying love for our club from the top of Everest.
Utterly pointless article and not really worth the thread, pretty much every team in the world could be improved if you bought a better defence than they already had, a world class midlfielder, an elite finisher and a game changer. just crap clickbait
Jamie probably got the idea from City because thats exactly what Guardiola did, signed more and more players until he got it right.
Problem for United and Mourinho is they have to work within legitimate income and are not being financially doped by a gulf state.
Oh, so it wasn’t a unique problem! I’ve tried to post another Guardian article in the morning and for whatever reason that title case fecked it up.
Maybe we should just get Jamie in as manager/director of football
Phew. I was worried it would be complicated or unrealistic but according to Jamie, we just need to:
- Sell Sanchez, McTominay, Herrera, Smalling, Valencia, Young, Jones, Darmian, and Rojo.
- Loan out Rashford.
- Buy 2 CBs, LB, RB, a creative CM, an elite-level finisher, and a game changer.
- Decide Mourinho's fate and either back him for the next few years or sack him.
- Renew De Gea's contract
The same reason why Pogba rejoined us, money. I bet Antonio Valencia earns more money than any defender at Juventus.
