- Thread starter Damien

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?

Doesn't make sense to sign a big name player and force him to wear another number for a few months because a soon leaving 34 year old currently occupies the number
Real did it with Ronaldo.
He’s been sulking wearing the 9 as well, hasn’t he.
Ribery-esque not even joking.
Sounds like they are going for Donyell Malden and/or Noni Madueke from PSV. I’m sure whoever you get will turn out to be a good singing once they settle
He'll wear it for one year only, no biggie.
I think if Cavani gets the 9 he'll happily give the 7 to Sancho... but that means stripping Martial of his number again. Ole is too nice to do that.
Yeah but he hasn't admitted it yet. This season his excuse was "I don't know what's wrong", when Zlatan joined he genuinely sulked about the number thing, and having competition.
I think marketing will pull rank on this. Give Cavani number 9 and give Martial 21 or something
It's just a shirt number
Will have to wait to see how he does in the PL first.
I know, and I don't honestly care but marketing will insist on this, like when Zlatan got the 9 shirtIt's just a shirt number
What?
Doesn’t make sense not to do it to be honest.
I’ll rather he had a year to settle in without all the excess bullshit that comes with wearing that shirt. Cavani’s the first player since Ronaldo to do it any justice.
Plot twist: Sancho has bought Manchester United for £729m.
Very true
Cavani wears 21 for Uruguay and his Instagram is Cavani 21, surely that would make more sense if he was to give it up.
He didn't sulk for any of these things, he was disappointed by the fact that the club didn't tell him beforehand and Martial under Mourinho has never had an issue competing with Rashford, both players competed normally.
Sancho is a better dribbler/vision
But he’s not as fast or as good at shooting
That would be my tuppence
He faces a pretty stark choice. Find another club or get over it.
If he carries on in his present attitude it will just be few years before he is selling his "AM9" branded goods alongside Mach3 blades and deodorants on a market stall outside Lyon.
I was referring to Zlatan joining the club and Martial downing tools for about 6 months as well as losing the number 9.
Well done to @Pexbo @Judas @horsechoker for being the three top posters to date for this thread. What’s next for you?
that could depend on Martial and what Ole decides to do with him. He could easily start with Martial on the left with Sancho on the right just to see if Martial finds any form otherwise ship his ass out.
7 for Palermo, Napoli and United. 9 for PSG. Hm.
Looking at Cavani’s shirt number history, I’d say he’ll happily gives the number 7 to Sancho.
At least if he gets the 9
I think he'll get an ultimatum from the club at the start of this season anyway. We've got some good youngsters coming through that are going to keep him out of the team if he carries on
Hands up, after signing Pellestri and Amad i didnt think Utd would sign another winger. Obviously i was wrong. Do wonder what they will do with amad now? Send him out on loan to get needed first team football ala Pellestri or keep him in and around the first team and build up his minutes?
Forum mediocrity?
Rio’s thoughts.
I would of posted alot more in here but with only 5 posts per day its very hard to get the numbers up,
So glad the deal is now sorted, great signing and I think everyone will be happy, fair price too,
Hopefully we'll get all our targets done quickly this year

Can somebody tag all those annoying Dortmund posters from last summer? Would greatly appreciate it. Just want to have a chat with them… xoxo
Absolutely thrilled with this signing. Wonderful player and will start right away.
Any reason why he briefly switched to 16 & 17 at PSG?

This narrative makes me laugh. Cavani threw a massive hissy fit when Neymar wanted to take a penalty off him for PSG but you don’t hear anything about him sulking. Scholes once refused to play a game with the second team, but you don’t hear much about that. The amount of time that you and some of our fans spend hating on Martial is very weird, and top of that it’s dishonest. Ibra was brought in as a striker, Martial was playing on the left at the time, so they weren’t even in competition.
He said what's next?
Martial could have next weeks lottery numbers on his back and he would still sulk about with his arse in his hand.
Come on, you know by now it is pretty useless to correct these posts.
Every 2nd post about Martial has one or 2 myths that have no basis in reality.
Final fee: just above 76 million Pounds

Key difference is what those player had or went on to achieve. Martial will never get even remotely close to the examples you listed.
