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.

Oh no! Poor Fabrizio, not sure how he will be able to recover.
I'm not so sure. Mourinho has favoured Davies from the start given his defensive prowess in that position. Reguilon doesn't offer the same defensive security that he does. My guess is that Mourinho wants more depth, and Spurs are looking to bring Reguilon in to replace Rose.
Reguilon's choice will depend on where he'll get the most football. Playing for Spain and impressing Real Madrid will be key for him.
That's true. Shaw is better than him, plain and simple. Reguilon would play only when he's injured, and however frequent that is, it won't be ideal for him at that age. Also, there's the case of the buy-back clause which United would never agree to.
What's interesting in all of this is that none of the Spanish media reported on Spurs's negotiations for Reguilon. Mundo Deportivo only mentioned that they were monitoring him. It wouldn't surprise me if Spurs only recently jumped in once United hit a roadblock on that buyback clause.
He also probably knows if they do go down they would probably have to cash in. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if his new contract doesn't have some kind of transfer clause about getting relegated.
Haha no as in he has constantly said we’re close to things all summer and has just been wrong constantly. I don’t think there’s been any moment he’s called anything right for us. More and more he’s looking like someone who just picks up the rumblings of rumours and goes with it. On r/soccer fans of other clubs are saying the same thing and confidence in him is waning. He’s going the same way as Di Marzio.
I hope they have a signing up their sleeve then, because Shaw getting injured fecked us in the end.
Looks like Spurs are accepting of a buy back. Small time.
Was surprised to see he was still playing but not nearly as surprised as i was to learn that despite his looks he's only 34.
One thing's for sure, Woodward will never recover his reputation if we mess up this window as well as all the others. This could be a real disaster. Not getting Reguilon might mean we just pay for Sancho after all.
Could you imagine if Spurs sign this lad and there is no buy back clause. I hope there is one or we will look idiotic.
Wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last time that United look completely idiotic (at least as long as Woodward is in charge, anyway).
That - especially the bit in the cockpit - would be the perfect antidote to the glum mood in some of these threads.This window feels awfully similar to our last top 4 finish where instead of building on the squad we had that summer, we decided to rest on our laurels in the market as those around us strengthened.
Back then it was Fred and Dalot, now it's just VDB?
I feel for Ole after he explicitly outlined what would be needed this summer at the end of last season and delivered CL football for the board with the maybe naive expectation that he'd be backed properly...

The Reguilon one was always weird.. all the noise came from weird sources .. it had the feel of the link being made to draw out bids..
Then Romano started talking and I thought it was serious.
Now I am back to thinking it was just to draw out a bid from Spurs.
Feel the same way about Bale fwiw.
feck knows what link is real and what is being made up..

That I agree with. Shaw will break down next season even more now with the hectic schedule. We need to sign a good back-up for him and I wouldn't mind Reguilon but the conditions won't be ideal for him.
Duncan Castles special guest referee.
Preach mate. Been saying it all summer and getting abuse from his gang of worshipers. He's a BS merchant just like his boss Di Marzio. They get some info on deals (usually involving Italian clubs). The rest is educated guess work and like you say they go with the strongest rumours.
Looks like most 25 year old Dundonians, he's in great shape.
That would be such a classic Jose move. He has a habit of hijacking transfer targets (mostly ours) from back in his Chelsea days.
Guess we'll be putting in a £50 million+ bid in for him in a couple of years, with Levy doing everything to resist.

Yeah, too right in fairness.
The official United account did just post 4 times in last hour, gone down as well you'd think.
Meh. United should absolutely be above buy back clauses
Summary of the Italian transfer merry-go-round between Napoli, Roma, and Juventus.

- Roma will pay 25 million Euros (3 million loan fee, 15 million obligation to buy, 7 million in bonuses)
- Dzeko already had an agreement with Juve: 2-year contract, 7.5 million Euros/season
- De Sciglio has entered the negotiations between Roma & Juve
- Roma are offering a loan with an option to buy
- Suarez to Juve is looking slim; he might not get in on time to be registered for their CL squad.
I agree, they will probably want a buyback clause for about 40m. Feck that.
If I were you I would avoid mentioning the word "Suarez" and "slim" in.the same sentence
I can see that. We have to see what it is. Either he isn't great so they don't exercise it, or he is and they get him relatively cheap. Do now United have to go out and get someone better at LB than Williams or Dalot, god help us if we are considering Rojo at LB. They also have to be a challenger to Shaw to keep him focused.
Aaaand another one bites the dust. Said all along that it wouldn't suprise me if VdB would be our only signing and we never planned to spend much than what we did on him. Having Corona in mind. Would be such a random transfer as well.
Or the buy back clause
If this is true, I'd back the Board 100% on this occasion.
I almost said have we ever included a buy back clause in any of our outgoing transfers, but the recent ones we wouldn't want them to darken our doors again.

Plenty of time left yet and we've not kicked a ball. This window is for once one I am quite comfortable with us taking time.
The financial implications (with the way we are run) are important even though we'd all love to spend another 200m.

I suppose it confirms that Spurs are not as prestigious club as Manchester United.
Another day and another player slips away, personally I have always liked Shaw and he's looking lean and ready to go for the new season. I wonder who we will be linked with tomorrow?
