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.

.why?
Also, I can't believe that clown Woodward is still in the same job.
I know we do and I think he will sign for us too but I don’t see why we keep doing it.
Why shouldnt Woodward do his very best to get the lowest price possible?
We have no competition For Sancho or immediate deadline and Dortmund have to sell as the player has already mentally and emotionally left the club.
If it comes off, great. If not, nothing lost either.
Great job, kid! Would you like a gold star?
I dont get this either, people complaining over Ed trying to lower the price. And if he pays what they want imidiately it's not good either.
His best 'source' in Dortmund is Haaland senior. The feck would he know?
It beggars belief how that clown indykalia has accrued over 300k followers on Twitter for being a bullshitter.
Yes, and they've all been absolutely worth it!!
It’s impressive how we can continually use the BBC as our own personal propaganda arm. Stone is Ed’s Laura Kuenssberg
What's amazing is how he kept them even after being outed as a bullshitter over and over. Just goes to show you many people don't really care about truth or facts, only what they want to hear.
Doesn't seem all that difficult tbf, the Tories have done it for yearsIt’s impressive how we can continually use the BBC as our own personal propaganda arm. Stone is Ed’s Laura Kuenssberg
He has echoed what Falk has said and Fabz has echoed what they have both said.
We have posters on here wanking themselves silly to these reddit clowns. Most know it, but still can't help themselves
Jan the Swindon leg-end.
I don’t suppose there’s a chance that Dortmund have leaked that this deal is really close to being over the line so if united don’t cough up it makes Ed and United look awful to their fan base? It’s certainly one way of putting pressure on.
So united have tried to counter that with a leak underplaying how far away we are.

Yes even if we manage to shake off 10-15m, it's a huge deal for self sufficient club like ours. That's almost 4-5 % of our revenue. In Covid season it could be even higher.
Are you asking why we do our best to negotiate? Why wouldn’t we?
All I will say is that think it's unlikely that it's going to be announced on Friday
plus it hel
The deadline of August 10th
I’m guessing aug 10 2020 right? Not 2021?
Sancho is a huge talent. One question about the whole thing is bugging me, though. Why does no other top club appear to be in for him? It's unusual to see a great talent go uncontested like this.
I was laughing all through the video, Ed will soon become a meme
Sancho is a good player with a lot of potential but playing for a big club like United comes down to character and just being a good fit from the get-go. He could be a Bruno and hit the ground running or be a Pogba who delivers in patches or worse a Sanchez, who despite having PL experience struggled. It's a huge gamble. Hopefully, it works out.
COVID, clubs have pretty much confirmed they’re not going big this summer.
They paid 50mil euros so not a great example.
Every single player we have bought has played in patches, not a single exception.
Is hope by this point most people follow him for the laugh rather than believing him. He’s pretty much a parody at this stage, but lots of wanna be indys that’s for sure!
No, my initial point was that I can’ t believe clubs fall for briefs in the press.
$$$
Not many clubs can afford this kind of outlay under the current market conditions, you could probably count maybe 2-3
Relax, he's coming, the problem is because we are Man Utd we have to do the dance in public. We take no longer than any other club, just the selling club like to make it known from day one that they are doing the dance with us.
Werner and Havertz are hugely talented players and there are going to Chelsea unopposed as well. It's just that not everyone can take the hit of paying over the odds and accepting the risk to reward ratio.
It's baffling though that despite not having another team to drive the price up and despite the pandemic climate, we are still be held to a ransom of 120m euros.
Which top club has 100m to spare to strenghten a position they don’t need to?
Why you are comparing the second most hyped young player in the world with a defender?
The latter was worth every penny and is the only one for which there is possibility of multiplying what we paid if he was to decide to leave.
Torres is a winger
A perfect storm (from United’s perspective) really:
• In the Premier League, he won’t rejoin City. Liverpool can’t afford him and arguably don’t need him. Chelsea are stacked.
• In Spain, Barcelona are in financial trouble and Madrid don’t seem to have the funds to go £100m+ on a player again this summer.
• In Germany, Bayern won’t pay that amount for him.
• In Italy, no Italian club will commit that amount post-Covid.
• In France, PSG are stacked up front and don’t need him.
It genuinely is only United who have a pressing need for him and are willing to spend mega money to get it done. Nothing at all to do with his talent and/or temperament. Every club in the world would take him if offered in the morning.
I said this last week. Manchester United trust the BBC for leaks. It is obvious though because you can't compare the BBC to some random journalist on Twitter. Its a publicily funded organisation and is more accountable to its audience than twitterati. Anything Stone says, the public will believe it because it is the BBC and trust me if push came to the shove and he was asked to reveal his sources, he exactly has to do that. He works for the BBC and every strory he publishes, 99 per cent it has a verifiable source. I don't want to sound like an Idiot but we here on the Caf like to believe more in what we want to hear rather than the actual truth. Its understandable because we are football fans on an internet forum who want good news for United all the time.It’s impressive how we can continually use the BBC as our own personal propaganda arm.

So its dead in the water then ?
Still money saved buy Grealish and Zaha and we come out smiling
