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?

I think we tried but he prefered to go to Barcelona. All worked out eventually... we got him now, its just too bad he isnt as good as he was at Barcelona/Arsenal anymore.
Absolute class of a player, I would love him in a United shirt. Never should have let him go to Spurs in the first place, but the story of our shambolic management.
True, but there are better DM's out there I feel.
Yeah. Spurs signed him for like 11m on a deadline day. He was in that Ajax team that tore us into a new one at OT. Whatever our scouts are smoking, i would like to have it
You said "Martial is probably worth twice what we paid for him today".
You've paid £46.5m for Martial so far. Double that is £93m. The CIES valuation - for whatever it's worth - says 70 - 90m euros .... so even at the top end that's less than £78m, and only £60.5m at the bottom end.
So your claim is refuted by the very source CIES that you quote ... that's not what I'd call "making an argument and providing basics for it".
No-one is going to offer Eriksen £350k per week.
I think his future very much depends on whether Real Madrid get Pogba or not.
Not room for both Casemiro, Kroos, Pogba, Eriksen and then Hazard + their other wings/strikers.. Kroos would have to go then.

We bought Victor Janssen less than 3 years ago for £19.9m, aged 21. He'd just been awarded the 2016 Johan Cruyff Trophy, the Dutch "Talent of the Year" award.
His current market value is way less than what we paid for him.
Moreover, your argument assumes that the market bubble will never burst, but just keep on rising. That's what's all those caught up in the bubble-hype believe ... until the day it does burst.
Yes, Vertonghen also. In theory very easy transfers that would have made our team so much better.
Big differences between Janssen and Eriksen when they left the eredivisie. Eriksen had played 100+ games for Ajax, including CL games. Was a well established name, had a hand in Ajax winning 3 league titles. He was seen as being ready for the next step. Janssen had just played 1 season in the eredivisie, and not even at one of the top clubs. Most people thought his move to Tottenham was very risky and too quick, and that he should have went to Ajax or PSV first.
True. I'm not comparing the two players. I'm simply saying that, contrary to what @Johan07 claimed, not every promising young bought player two or three years ago is worth more today just due to the market inflating.
Yeah, this was during a short period of time when Ajax were recovering from financial problems, and were basically forced to sell Eriksen and Vertonghen for low prices because they only had 1 year left on their contracts. Tottenham were smart to take advantage of that.
Not worth it. Even if there's a chance Spurs will sell to us, the negotiations will take all summer and he's cost more than £60m. United should put recruitment efforts into improving as many positions as possible. Forget about star players until we have a team of excellent, hard-working, players. I'd rather see United recruit 6 players this summer for ~ £33m each & sell or, loan out, more of our so-so players. The only essential summer recruitment is a Football CEO, or, at least, DoF.
I think he should be our number one target after centreback and right wing. A huge issue we’ve had is that when Pogba is manmarked out of a game, the other midfielders can’t step up to offer creativity. Not only that but Eriksen knows how to control a game, something that’s never really been Pogba’s game.
I would just love him at us but can’t see it happening.
We need quality not hard work. We lack both. Eriksen is both.
I would have Eriksen over Pogba any day of the week.
Spurs apparently want £60 million for Eriksen. We should do that deal in a fecking heartbeat.
He's definitely worth 60m. So no problem. Just don't think they will sell him to a direct competitor
I wouldn’t there pretty much the same player. Pogba’s just more athletic.
That's fecking incredible. Just wouldn't happen if Man Utd come calling.
Pogba is also, you know, better.
Not as a shield whose job is to supply better players with the ball. Dier is very good at his type of job.
I love Eriksen but feck me, Pogba will never be appreciated by some United fans I’ve come to that realisation.
Fecking hell, he's worth double that.
I said i wouldn’t swap them so I thought that went without saying who the better players is. But the traditionalist will disagree because of Eriksen’s lack of star status.
The thing is, Eriksen is both excellent and hard-working. He’d be a brilliant signing for whichever club that gets him if he moves. Frankly, I don’t think United is in contention, as I’m sure if he moves, he’d go to win trophies or at least be in contention. And right now United aren’t that and there are a few question marks whether you will next season or the one after that.
Not really. It was a different time then, before most of the insane prices being quoted. Ask Ajax now to sell you a similar player (though not as good imho) in Ziyech and they probably wouldn't even consider anything less than 35m. Doesn't matter if it's Spurs or United.
Have you heard of Mr Ed Woodward? Ashley fecking Young is on 120k pw!
I thought Eriksen was about 30, but at 27, he is well worth up to 100 million.
Can we fit him and Pogba in a mid 3? That would require a very mobile and solid DM.
So then, 35 for Spurs and 50 plus for Utd. Principle holds.
The thing is, Eriksen is NOT a gamble. We all know how effective and well he already works in the premier league.
We'd make him worse.

If we had anything about ourselves we would sell pogba and get Eriksen and Hazard who both have a measley year on their contracts.
Sell Pogz for 100m buy Eriksen and Hazard for 80m each sold.
Ed if your reading hire me as DOF you tight penny pinching bastard

But you can't get him for £60m
Martial takes a pay cut to join Spurs and Spurs won't sell us anyone until Martial takes a pay cut. Silly Spurs fans.
Do Spurs fans actually read their posts when they type them. Most of you guys have your heads so far up your backside that everything you write is shite. I mean this thread is a possible link with Eriksen, yet you post like you're Levy himself! You've got no idea, but you put your opinions across as facts. It's amazing how often you guys do that
He is; if he had two or three years left on his contract he would be 100m plus on the market. Now its one year left and Spurs will struggle to get 50m for him this summer. Its not as he is going to be cheaper though. What a buying club will save in transfer fee will go towards his wages and/or sign-on fee instead. Thats why why he easily will command 350k a week this summer. Its simple math really, even if a certain Spurs-supporter here is still living in denial about it.
He'd be a great transfer. So it won't happen
