In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Chelsea have been shite at corners in pre-season. Slabtime.
Slabtime better catch on this season. You need to get that trademarked quick. I can feel a chant to the the MC Hammer classic brewing.
I see you've been influencing other cafe membersSee, it’s not only me
I see you've been influencing other cafe members
I love that he loves being here 
What a week, dreams do come true
That face in the OP is scary
Fancy him to score a header on Sunday. Chelsea aren’t a huge side.
And we’re not a good crossing side.
Ok from corners, and I may have a small wager on Maguire scoring United's first goal of the season.
They’ll have zouma and giroud mark him I assume.
Leaves room for McTominay then.
Van der Vaart thinks he’s shit. Video of of him in Sky yesterday where he said he was the worst player at the nations league.
Another footballer added to the list of footballers that talk cack about football.

Came here to post that, "by far" Worst player vs Netherlands
Someone is trying the usual........ say stupid shit to get more tv time.
Watching that video on the previous page I never realised how good he is with the ball at his feet, skips past quite a lot of players.
I remember that. I believe it was during half time and van der Vaart was basically laughing at how bad of a player Maguire was.
Its how some of the poorer pundits get them self noticed, take utter c**p
He is not the only one.
They dont have the style or ability to keep the listener engaged otherwise.

So Ole is saying Maguire was his number 1 transfer target and made that choice after we played Leicester in Feb 2019
“I'm delighted that we got Harry in,” Ole told reporters. “He's going to be great for this club. He was my number one target, and of course it took some time, but it does sometimes take time.
”I, more or less, made my mind up when we played Leicester last season that if it's possible to get him we should try, because he's so composed on the ball and he gives the team another dimension.”
“He's already come in and shown the presence that he will be and what impact he'll have in the squad,” said the boss.
“He's a leader, an established international, a goal threat, a very, very good defender.”
“It is important to have a foundation to build from and to play from, and the spine of the team is always key. If we can get a settled back four with David in behind them, I'm sure we'll create enough chances to score goals.
”They're not just defenders these boys. They've all got attacking attributes, as well as being good defenders.“
This is the match he talked about against Leicester :
United won 1-0, kept a clean sheet even with the calamity partnership of Bailly and Lindelof together and statistically Maguire was the 4th best CB on the pitch. He made 0 tackles, 2 interceptions, 2 clearances and 1 aerial. The one stat in his favour from that match is that he made 59 passes to Lindelof's 49. Although a bit surprisingly Bailly made 1 dribble and Maguire made 0.
Its going to be interesting seeing how our defense does this season as we added a stats monster in Wan-Bissaka and yet our big "marquee" signing is a CB who the stats suggest doesn't improve us defensively. Even the match that convinced us to sign him he didnt do much.
Will Wan-Bissaka's stat mastery cover Maguire, or will Maguire improve a lot on his own? Or will he have the same stats for United that he had for Leicester, but we are rock solid at the back regardless because "stats dont matter". We'll find out shortly.
My bet is on Maguire helping us on the ball, bringing the ball out of defense and becoming a passing option coming into midfield which should help the midfield. But defensively I think we'll still be looking for a new CB come next summer, this time as Maguire's partner longterm

That’s what United have prioritised this window and it’s extremely important. He’ll be an important player for us because he’ll do everything to improve and contribute!I love that he loves being here
Also this cracked me up on twitter earlierTweet

for those that didn’t like the chant, if this league 2 steward can take it on the chin I’m sure Maguire will find the funny side tooFergie thought we should get him.
Good enough for me.
Good enough for me.
Jamie Vardy + Harry Kane combined.

Rashford
Lingard - Pogba - Sanchez

Our attack would have performed better if we set up like that.
Debut V Chelsea @ Old Trafford
MotM vs Chelsea imo. What a debut.
So many crucial interceptions and clearnces that started counters.

Bossed it. People who don’t rate him are clueless.
Not bad for a 'slabhead who is no better than Jones, Rojo etc' His strength at the back has already directly contributed to a goal
Vidic and Rio rolled into one.
What a guy
I fecking love him. My mate was telling me about how good he'd become when he was at Sheffield but I didn't see it. He's a colossal leader at the back for us. Settles everyone down.
Had very good game. It was weird to see our CB having so much composure on the ball and not afraid to pass between the lines. Very good debut.
It's a joke that people say hes just another Jones. Either they are clueless or have never seen him play. The guys a Rolls Royce of a defender.
He stopped them.
Very good. Didn't really want him as thought we needed a RW more, but if he keeps that up will have been very worth it.
Instantly our best defender by an absolute mile.
Excellent debut. Calm, composed, brilliant.
Beast.
Bit of the Vidic about him.
1 game in and while he wasn't our best player statistically, he still had a very good performance statisticallyhttps://www.manutd.com/en/news/deta...ry-maguire-was-his-number-one-transfer-target

He's gonna do a Van Dijk.
Instantly one of my favourites. Solid.
