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?

You know he wasn’t there when they won the league right?
If true, then this is an example to Woodward about what the biggest club in the world can do. We need a similar summer and similar amount, but sadly he's just talk and very little substance.
Jones 40m pence or cents!?
while the glazers will not care about trophies and just want top four. Glazers I think are the main problem.
He'd be a perfect winger and has United DNA written all over him
, we had a lot of great legend winger like Giggs, Best, etc. It's shame he's at City but if he was at Juve, Madrid club, Barcelona or Bayern, we probably could have a chance if he wanted to leave.Perhaps you should wait until the actual window and see what both clubs spend?
Sanchez, Di Maria, Schweinsteiger, Ibra, Falcao and the laughable attempts at Fabregas/Bale spring to mind.What is this so called "superstar strategy era" supposedly? Where are those superstars? Pogba, yes. I don't recall others. Well, I hope we get good players.
Maguire, Rice, wan-bissaka and sending well wishes to Sancho it is then.
do real even have 600m to spend? Id sell them pogba and rasford for 400m if they have
I'm sure they have a training ground or two they could do without.do real even have 600m to spend? Id sell them pogba and rasford for 400m if they have
I think the smart thing to do is go cheap on the defense like with Alderweireld and Focus on other more important areas such as RB,CM and RW. That should we enough to get us top 4 and from there rebuild again. Throwing money at the situation like we always do isn't going to work.
State of this post. If Diane Abbott did football transfer speculation.
I said "if true" for the Real rumors. Regarding Woodward we all know what a bellend he is, regardless of the summer he is having.
There was a time when Luke Chadwick had won more than Steven Gerrard, at no point did that make him a better player
We would not be 'lucky' to have Maguire at all because at the risk of repeating myself, he's bang average
On which planet do you live?
and I'm sorry but what exactly has he won? A play off final? Winning competitions that other don't even play in... well done to him. Sancho has a chance to win a major championship this season, your comment is a bit out there.He is no better than Smalling or Lindelof at defending.
Couldn't agree more, he was flavour of the month during the World Cup, but he is extremely average. No better than what we already have and would cost a small fortune.
He is no better than Smalling or Lindelof at defending.
The same could be said with Eric Dier when some people were clambering to sign him because the media linked us with him. Although, like with Maguire, most could see he was nowhere near the standard of what we needed.
I feel the same way about Declan Rice, a very committed player but very limited on the ball. Again, don't think he is anywhere near the quality needed. And the issues I have with him aren't something that can be explained away by his age, he just doesn't have the natural ability of a top class midfielder. He can tackle though, and is a big unit, and that's enough for some people.
I'm with you on that 100%
He is no better than Smalling or Lindelof at defending.
Don't see all the love for Maguire. He is not better than what we have.
I always ask myself, who do we want to be as good as? Barcelona? City? Liverpool?
Then ask yourself, would xyz player get into their side? If the answer is 'heeelllll no' as is the case for Maguire, then why on earth would we go for him?
That’s just unrealistic that I don’t know if you’ve posted it as a joke
No way in hell we will get £40M for Jones nor will we get Sancho, Rodri & Saul for a combined fee of less than £150M.
It's time for you to change your dealer my friend.
40 million for Jones is by far the most hilarious bit.
Corrected for you.
Initially i was completely against Rice and AWB given their clear limitations in technique, or passing & dribbling ability in tight spaces. However, if it meant Sancho ahead of AWB on the right, or Rice shielding Pogba & another attacking midfielder like Fernandes, it seems like a good balance of attack n defence. It really boils down to tactics and playing styles which Ole wants, and more importantly to create 2 quality players competiting for every position.
Very few posts in this thread actually contain tweets nowadays
I agree and think if some of them were playing abroad we would be raving about them like Sancho. Alexander Arnold, Joe Gomez, Bissaka, Chilwell, Sessegnon, Foden, Odoi, Rice, Cook, Grealish, Redmond, Gibbs-White, Angel Gomes, Greenwood just a few of the sheer numbers capable of playing for big sides.
No guarantees with youngsters as Loftus Cheek, Will Hughes, Barkley just a few names that have taken quite some time to break through and not to the levels expected so far.
I think Bissaka, Rice and Sancho would all be excellent signings if we made them, Rice is probably the only one that wouldnt be my first choice.
I wouldn't mind us prioritising British talent if we had a dearth of it but we've got loads of talented British lads in our system already just waiting to be given a chance. Rashford and McTominay are already with the first team, Henderson and Tuanzebe who are around their age are both out on loan and highly thought of. Within our U23s and U18s we have O'Connor, Laird, Garner, Gomes, Greenwood and to a lesser extent Williams and Levitt, all waiting for proper opportunities.

You don't remember sanchez, di maria, falcao, ibra or schweiny?What is this so called "superstar strategy era" supposedly
All superstars. Just not by the time we got them!!
It's not so cut and dried as having x amount of defensive players to offset x amount of attacking players. As you said, Rice and AWB are not great in possession, and since we often struggle to move the ball out of deeper areas I really think we should avoid such players.
No chance we sell Jones for £15m now that he has renewed. Lewis Dunk wouldn’t even go for that. Heck, you would struggle to get Ben Gibson for £15m.
Maguire is not average. He’s a very good defender and a realistic target. You’re not getting Koulibaly or Varane. And Jones Rojo Smalling Bailly are bang average and why United are where we are right now. Miles behind.
I disagree that Smalling and Lindelof are better than Maguire, either way we’ll win nothing with them. AWB will definitely not make us contenders either. Sancho would be a huge risk for the money Dortmund want and he was a zero against Spurs when it counted in the Champions League which is not a good look.
He is no better than Smalling or Lindelof at defending.
I have to agree with him, Maguire is hardly £50m or what ever price Leicester would ask for him, better than what we already have, think he is nowhere near the level needed to compete at the top level again. Massively over rated, and over priced. Just my opinion, but think it would be madness to splash out on him. Not going to improve us drastically at all.
Salah, Joao Felix, Umtiti, Chiesa, Ruben Dias and Zaniolo all targets apparentlyTweet

Is this reliable at all? The only guy I know that is good for City is Sam Lee.
