In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

He should do if we had a better manager
Its the cafe. Myth=fact most of the time
Zero point in waiting on minute by minute updates. If it’s to be done it’ll be on deadline day or whatever artificial deadline constructs.
His real surname was Toombs. Sorry for the correction. I can't help it
What are the chances we already agreed a fee for this window last year, hence the gentleman's agreement with Sancho.
Surely United will agree a fee this week?
They’ve clearly been leaking progress and our new recruitment team and general club runners are going to look inept if they can’t wrap up the longest saga in recent history soon

He's not clearly better than 3 of Foden, Rashford, Sterling, Mount and Grealish to 'walk into the side'.
Do we really expect them to announce his move a couple of days before he plays for England in a tournament?
We'll have to wait until after the Euros for this.
Next you'll be telling me wrestling isn't real!
But his first name is still Rowdy right?
I expect they should be able to agree a fee, considering they’ve been trying to sign him for 10 months and his price has dropped
Then just say they’ll do the personal terms and medical in due course
Surely we can agree a fee before the euros and announce it subject to medical and personal terms.
I know we are incompetent 99% of the time but we have had over a year for this one

@Judas I'm assuming you are already camped in here? Definitely happening this year mate 
You're underrating his technical ability. And you're overstating what Neymar had accomplished by age 20, having just turned 21. I don't really have a problem with anyone saying Neymar is more talented than Sancho. I just don't think you can compare their careers at similar ages and conclude Neymar being on another level. Just look at players like Hazard and Neymar. It's not like they just came to the PL and La Liga and automatically delivered the same output as their previous seasons. They too had to adjust and then took a leap thereafter.
There is no guarantee Sancho takes that leap. However, I don't find it reasonable to conclude he can't make that leap.
Sancho has always been an elite talent like Foden, and the seasons he has had is not unexpected unlike say Rashford who did not look the same caliber of talent at age 16-17.
Damn, I have not seen you before now. Good to see a fellow muppet@Judas I'm assuming you are already camped in here? Definitely happening this year mate
The muppet crew are ready for muppet season. It will happen this year. The muppet in me thinks before the Euros
I am very happy to be here my fellow Muppet I should have tagged you also!Damn, I have not seen you before now. Good to see a fellow muppet
It will happen this year. The muppet in me thinks before the Euros
Very confident this year, more so than I ever was last year. I think we will have big news soon
Muppet Team, Assemble!Practically a done dealio already mate, short little muppet train journey this one! Already thinking of the next destination.@Judas I'm assuming you are already camped in here? Definitely happening this year mate
Agreed mate, exciting but I don't think it will be a drawn out thing either! Who we thinking of next?
Extremely quiet day today
How dare you say this when we are nearly sort of almost preparing to consider making a framework (that was a new one) towards possibly putting together a suggestion of a bid after having agreed personal terms for the 50th time?
Well the whole point is if Dortmund have had a dose of reality and dropped their price to something realistic.
There is no doubt we need a creative outlet on the RW but do you not think if we could control games better in CM that would mean we wouldn't have to keep giving away leads and having to produce comeback wins so much
Of course, it’s another massive priority. That’s my point. It’s not one position fixes all with this squad.
The trouble is that Utd seem very willing to sacrifice DM for a backup RB which suggests no targets outside of Rice at all and because they have been priced out for him they are looking for some squad depth instead
Yeah, quiet before the ...ah who am i kidding.
This will drag on all window.
Tomorrow will be a very big day. But I feel Wednesday will be even bigger.
Hating agreeing with a gooner but you do make a very valid point there about those being the key positions

Ah good. Chelsea being interested in Haaland is yet another excuse to embark in everyone’s favourite hobby: bash United.
Sure, agreed on effective. And I don't think it's a problem to have quality in depth, it's of course much needed. I just think if it ends up being Greenwood and Sancho for the right wing, and Martial still slugging it out with Cavani for the spot up top, Amad will miss out on the playing time he definitely will need. So hopefully, if Sancho ends up coming, Greenwood will be deployed as a striker, with Amad getting minutes when Sancho is rested.
I'm in the same boat when it comes to the positions that need fixing, but then I look at our midfield and compare it to any great team now or before, and it's as clear as day that we need two midfielders. I think I'd go for a new midfield with passing ability and technical competence over any other position at the moment, even though we seriously need a centre back and another attacking player on the right.
Pogba doesn't fit there, Bruno won't fit there, Donny doesn't suit Ole's style at all, and McTominay and Fred are just way too limited to be first XI players in a side that dominates (and opens up defenses, playing at a high tempo).
What are these lasts tweets about the £80 million plus add-on?
Last summer the price for Sancho was £103 million.
Now they are talking about £80m PLUS add-ons....
So if the add-ons will be around £10-15 million, then the price hasn't really dropped? How that can be?

Haha..what online game is that? Just find it funny that you know its Delaney who is playing. (I am not doubting you, just saying)
And let’s not forget that we aren’t negotiating with ourselves. Dortmund were fighting for CL until the end if the season. Securing it means they have a better bargaining position. So likely they didn’t want to negotiate until then.
And Dortmund don’t want to be negotiating for his successor with articles stating that they have just pocketed 85m circulating world press
Exactly. But these little details shouldn’t prevent any knee jerk United bashing.
Mainly because I was speaking to him for 3 months before he said who he was, he played it down at first and then just said he was a footballer at Dortmund, I totally thought he was a youth player or something but then we were chatting one night and I was taking the piss saying he will make it eventually and he told me who he was. He's such a normal bloke and didn't want the bullshit as you can imagine but if someone asks him he's honest but it's just courtesy to not ask him loads of shit questions.
If he's taking the piss he's playing the long game! I've been playing with him for about 2 years
And if you heard him it's without a doubt him, crazy half Danish half German accent. He was straight up about Sancho though, he's awesome.
Not even particularly excited about signing him.
It's like I processed his signing last summer so have already fully mentally adjusted to him playing for us.

Zorc said it clearly, Sancho will be sold for the right offer, Haaland won't be sold. So there's no connection whatsoever.
