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?

Scary.
He's just trash and no one can tell me otherwise
What's worse is Sane's stats this season, 10 goals and 9 assists. How many seasons would Jesse need to match that?
I wouldn't mind as much if he was 19/20/21 but the guy is nearing 27 and fleecing the club 100k.
Always want local lads to do well for the team, but he’s an extremely limited player.
Energy, sure. Runs behind the back, sure. None of these attributes matter if you’re not technically solid when it matters.

He’s a good young player who will need to play well into his 50s to reach his potential it seems. Prepare for the long-haul, I have a good feeling that he’ll peak ready for the 2042 League Cup Final.
I'm actually quite saddened by the fact he'll still be lining up for us next season.
SAF wouldn't even had him as a sub for us, he's woeful. Just has 0 about his game.

Energy? Clever movement? Local lad?
Adam Johnson has more assists than Lingard in the last six seasons in the premier league and he's been in prison for three of them.
Tonight summed him up. Plenty of movement but about as reliable as an ashtray on a motorbike
Jesse is useless and that’s obvious but how does our manager not see that? How did he start tonight? Unbelievable.
He also has his fingers things where he forms the J L.. that is supposed to be his signature move... i think he even has or tried to trademark it. He cant show it very often though because he never scores....
Much like Pereira, his work ethic was there tonight but that's bare levels, that's Burnley's requirements, he's just not good enough.
It is like playing with 1 less attacking player because he is so ineffective in attack.
I find it bizarre why he isn't tried in midfield. He has unbelievable stamina. I still not sure if he would be good enough there
Starting him in the attacking positions is an absolutely shocking tactic and OGS is clueless.

Sterling isn't a local lad though nor does he have a clothing line or fancy handshakes or a killer hashtag #Jlingz.
It looks even more baffling that the media were picking on Sterling for so long when Lingard has so much more nonsense to him.
First half -- that's the old Lingard we all trusted. 
Competitive, run hard, attack with strong intent, worked hard for his team, etc.
Second half -- that's the Lingard we hated. Rubbish and lazy.
What's wrong with him switching it off in the second half. Disappointing.

I’m going to come off as extremely bitter, but I can’t wait for the day he leaves our club. The only reason this guy plays for us is because he’s from the academy, which is a huge problem in itself if the people resonsible start placing more emphasis on sentiment rather than actual ability. It’s just embarassing how far our standards have fallen and a testament to how acceptant we have become towards mediocre players.
I also hate this hyperbole that’s always thrown around of him being a decent squad option. He’s just not good enough, neither as a starter nor as a squad player. But hey, he’s just 26 so he still has 20 more years to develop and then he’ll prove us all wrong.

Two chances = 2 goals. He took those chances and made sure Liverpool don't win the title. Proper local lad
Everton player in 2 years time? I can't see him leaving next season.
Even everton is too good for him. He will be playing for a team in the bottom half of the table. Maybe at Newcastle or West Ham.
People on here seem to forget he's got good handshakes.
His dance moves ain’t bad either
The strange part is he has just had at max 2 months of top football with us and yet acts like some kind of club legend. Ofcourse the likes of neville and scholes won't question him as he is a local lad.
Good post and something that I strongly agree with. People lay the management but the reality is that the reason we are where we are is we are heavily reliant on players such as Lingard who wouldn't look out of place in a lower league side. We are where we deserve to be. Aguero, De Bruyne etc. vs this lad and rashford. It's night and day.
Like many of our constant starters this lad wouldn't even make the bench for any other top team in europe. He's the Phil Jones of forwards minus the constant grimacing and limping. Sadly I don't think Ole will get rid of him which will eventually be a shambolic decision.
Have to say his purple patch is even more amazing looking at how he's fallen since. When's the last time he shot from range?
Do you really need to ask that question? It's actually obvious why he starts and that's actually even worse.
We have nobody else to play in that position who offers at least the energy and stamina.
If we drop him we would have zero movement in the final third. Rashford can't beat a man if he doesn't have clear path in front of him, martial doesn't run at all and we have zero right wingers it the squad.
I honestly can't believe that the club didn't address the no. 10 position and didn't buy a right winger.
He is the new Fellaini, in that whenever he starts the odds of us winning a match decrease.
He's a new invention, the non-dangerous attacker who is also pretty terrible at defending. At least Park could defend from the front.
No United attacker should be even getting on the team bus with the 'numbers' he's put up this year.

Even those teams are above him I think. Felipe Anderson and Yarmalenko are a good 2 levels above him - for one they can actually beat a man every now and then.
I think a team like Burnley or Cardiff would suit him better - not much quality but a lot of effort. Whenever he does move wouldn't be surprised to see him in the Championship before long.
He invented a new position, known as a "False 9, 10, 8, and 7" in literal sense.
Biggest joke of Manchester United.
Fcuk off!!
Fcuk off!!
Alexis should be played over him for the remaining games. If not, then Tahith Chong should play over him. He can't do worse than Lingard.
In light of this absolutely terrible stat for a, what is he, 27 year old, how much do people feel Lingard offers outside of the final third? His movement is pretty good but again, it's mostly a final third thing. Unlike somebody like Park, a genuinely brilliant squad player, do we really feel Lingard offers enough outside the box and in the buildup to justify his role as the solid squad option?
I certainly don’t. As I’ve said before, he should be one of the first players out the door.
He doesn't offer anything to the level we require Amol. Definitely not as a starter and I wouldn't even have him in the squad. I'd give his spot to Chong without hesitation..
I wouldn't mind him if he was somebody who really aided the buildup and added bite, physicality and link up play like our Korean energizer bunny did. But I'm just realising that Lingard has never been somebody you rely on for any of that. Which makes him a pretty average player given his end product.
He's okay at a 5th choice forward or something but how many attackers are we going to have who are either rotational or development cases. The way it's going I see Lingard, Rashford, Martial and Lukaku all here next season which leaves the room for, what, one attacker to be added? Maybe two if Sanchez and Mata go I suppose.
You'll be disappointed by Chong. On one hand, it's true that Chong could be more dangerous because he wants to run at players and will run at players. On the other hand, I believe his decision making is still too immature. His end product isn't all that either.
Think Chong will take a while before he's a good contributor to the first team.
Greenwood makes the most sense. He has a more mature playing style, and has better end product than Chong.
Mason I know well for a number of years and I believe he should play centrally and shouldn't be shunted out wide.
I do agree that Chong is still raw, but believe he would impact our play more than a nothing player like Lingard on the wing. Chong would at least give us an outlet due to his pace and we'd see a semblance of wing play. I'd bring Gomes, Chong and Mason into the squad for the next game. Gomes can't do worse than Fred.
The issue with his miss wasn’t the technique (or lack thereof) of the airshot itself, it was that he’d already given up on the play as soon as the first pass went behind where he wanted, and was already throwing his arms up and whinging rather than being alert to a ball that was still very much in play... That’s what caught him off guard when Rash (who was being alert) got the ball back in... he was mentally unprepared for it. Which frankly, is lazy schoolboy stuff.
Yeah, noticed this as well. Infuriating to see him turn his back with the ball still in play in the opposition’s box. More interested in posturing for the crowd than doing his job.
Either way he didn’t need to swing a boot at it. Just block it into the net. Foot, shin, knee... anything.
But what do we really expect from him at this point.
