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.

How do you know how much he’s haggling over?
sending Rojo the other way so Bruno can get the number 16 on his back
Hope we get this done, and preferably before the Liverpool game but this really drags on, so annoying with all our transfers being this way

Sneijder...?
Its only ludicrous cause it's not your opinion. Watched them both a lot, just not fussed.It's a ludicrous opinion. Do your own research man
Good thing he's Portuguese then,got a better track record with them if I'm not mistaken
We need to find out where his wife is from....Jamaica?
Or did she come on her own accord?

Yeah, you know, the most important ones
You might be right, of course, but I really don’t see him doing any worse than Lingard, Pereira or Mata. Quite the opposite.Quality.
No I think she drives a Civic
Would rather he take 8, Mata never plays there anymore
He’s Italian by way of Russia.
Lingard won't go to Portugal. He might fancy Serie A, Raiola's meant be be speaking to Italian clubs about him. Rojo seemingly has a much better financial offer from Fenebache.
Nonsense, he is french and from Perpignan.
Anyone asked why we’ve got no competition for him? No City, Liverpool, Madrid, Barca, Atletico, Juve, PSG or Bayern.
Just Sporting trying to drum up a deal with us and nobody else enquiring despite his apparent productivity.

Said this in the summer, it’s certainly something to be a bit wary about that we’ve seemingly got zero competition for him.
Do any of those teams need him? They have quality options. I didn’t see a queue of top clubs after the likes of VVD, Salah, Aguero, KdB and Mane either but they are decent players.
wouldn't mind it, but it happens rarely that players get their numbers taken from them mid season no?
I know Fellaini gave his up for Scwheini but that was not mid season though
He might be involved in the negotiations from his bedroom?
I thought Spurs were close to signing him?
The truth is though that it’s a bit of a punt! If he hits the ground running and can get anywhere near the numbers he’s getting in Portugal however; then we’ve got a diamond

Genoa?
Castles claimed on his podcast today that United have been told that this is their chance to get him.
He said they've been told other clubs will be in for him in the Summer and that Real had a long look at him in the last window but couldn't move on some of their older midfielders.
Don't know how true any of that is as if the first I've heard that anyone else was interested.
Three titles update? God I love those!
I heard city were in for Sanchez as well... How did that turn out? You can't judge a transfer about who is in for them. That's the stupidest thing ever. Chelsea wanted Lukaku but he was shit here. What about Fred? Apparently City warned him too, and Maguire.
Judging a player as "good" only if a rival wants them is stupid as feck.
Can right. The guy you're responding to is mental.
For what it's worth I have it on good authority from a friend that's entering the world of player management (former professional player in Greece, France and Australia) and was at Sportings last game, that our scouts along with Spurs scouts were running their eyes over him.
I trust his judgement when he says "he's a special player.. really stands out here.. good technically, smart, composed and has a real engine.. ran everywhere."
Obviously the Portuguese league is of a different standard but we are in desperate need of a creative spark so I'm hoping talks continue to advance.

He's still working on it
Wow. Castles must have a good source for this transfer as he said all this hours ago.
His source is probably the portuguese journo Goncalo something who reported it yesterday. At this point they are all rehashing the same tidbits of news
If that's the standard we evaluate most players against, then no wonder we had to sort through 1000 different players for a new right back.Yeah, you know, the most important ones
We both know that he will never be able to get the same numbers for our club. Attacking players with a high output (goals/assists) is seldom able to replicate the same output for a new club in a different role and system. Pepe, Mkhitaryan, Kagawa etc. Bruno, playing in a free role and allowed to shot and pass whenever and however he likes, could very well be an example of this.
At least we will not see Fred taking corners anymore. If we are able to set Fernandes up in situations where he is given time or space in the final third then he should be able to make an impact.
Checked some flights, couldn't find anything.
This is what we lack currently. Nothing infuriates me more than seeing us a goal down/in a bad moment and not one player visibly giving a feck. You need fire.
I've heard he's got 3 lungs -- he's probably running over here.
Nah. Lopes didn't have as much info plus is a know bullshiiter. Also stone wouldn't parrot random stuff on BBC radio so therefore we know Castles is bang in in this one.
Brazilian Portuguese?
