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.

I just had the same thought reading about this. It seemed very easy to get Ralf and his connections with the RB clubs are pretty extensive....
Wasn't he the same guy who signaled Lingard to get ready to come on yesterday?
Jobs for the boys FC still remains I see

He's only 5'8, so he probably got the same puppy power attitude as Jack Wilshire.
NY Red Bulls play some really high intensity attacking football. I hope Ragnick gets his man

Assistant what? Assassin? Guy looks mean.
He was quite good in Fast and FuriousLooks nothing like Stam. A quick browse and you can either see him like a henchman or..
Looks like Phelan if he spent the last 10 years in prison.
Ho ho ho
His team is 7th in the table, but noticed they have conceded the least goals. He must be good at setting up a defence.
So you were perfectly fine when we sold him. ?
My brother in law is a Barnsley fan and says he’s nothing special.. kept them up during a relegation battle, but the football was tumescent…make of that what you will
Can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
Wow, as a NYRB season ticket holder for 7 years this is certainly a clash of worlds.
RB global certainly think highly of him as NY just paid a big fee to get him Barnsley, but I mean he hasnt really done anything to great since hes been here.
We finished the season about where most predicted and lost in the first round of the playoffs. We were absolutely woeful in front of goal, and out main ST was the worst xg-g with like -7.2 so its not totally his fault we were crap.
He for sure made us a good defensive team but we were pretty crap to watch attacking wise.
Jesse March at RBL has been the only coach id say id be happy with United getting that's been associated with NYRB, but hes not going to leave there to be an assistant with us.

sounds like a die hard villain
No we dont - like at all.
Our offense is terrible and our play style would be so foreign to United fans they would boo the coaches.
All we do it hit it long or break the lines really quickly if we lose possession no one cares and a turnover in their 3rd is just a chance to press and win the ball up higher up the pitch.
This play style upset our fans I have no idea how United fans would react to kick and rush and chaos ball.
Isn't he managing New York Red Bulls at the moment? Why would he leave the post to become the no 2 for an interim manager?
The code, please.
We're finished... first a German and now Gerrard.
The chance at being United's number 2 or 3 is bigger than any job in MLS. If he does a good job he might be able to manage a PL side or Bundesliga.
RB global would be the main reason not to take the job, RBL isnt doing great and he would be top of the list to take that over or be an assistant there.
It's Christmas Theo it's a time for miracles.
Sign him up asap!
It's not that all of professionals just wait to Man united to call them, people need to work and commit.
Also not a lot of people will come to a 6 months job
Get Ancelotti ffs we need experience
The German Jason Statham. Sun = toilet paper though.
No one has mentioned we've been linked to his assistant at Red Bulls as well (reported originally by Mark Gleeson). 44 year old former South African international Bradly Carnell. He played under Ragnick at Stuttgart and was apparently one of Ragnick's most trusted players. He was a mainstay when Stuttgart under Ragnick finished second in Bundesliga behind Bayern in 02/03

Its a really hard decision.
Looks like Ralph is looking to make friends as well now, no more jobs for the manager's mates just hire the best coach available. Preferably someone who doesn't speak English or German so he and Ralph aren't wasting time getting friendly with mindless chit chat in between games/training.
The more coaches we have who's names sound like Die Hard villains the better.
Its happening! We are getting a real life Ted Lasso!!!! All be it one that looks like hed kill you for looking at him funny rather than bring you biscuits in the morning.
I can imagine the pitch to convince him to come down in my head...and it goes something like:
Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs...

Yes. But a shit manager as coach is better thana good coach coaching.
Doesn't sound good. However being an assistant manager under somebody who has a proper plan and knows how to implement it is completely different than being the manager yourself. Carlos Queiroz never had much success as a manager but most would agree he was the best assistant that Fergie ever had and played a big role in our success in the mid-to-late 00's.
Hopefully this would be a similar situation to that.
All news managers/head coaches brought in their own coaching team, mostly their “mates” who know their methods. Nothing new.
I thought he looked like Jaap!
I was joking, I don't care who he brings in
