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.

Basically our captain needs someone behind him to cover his arse, another one to do the running for him + coaches and a manager capable to make the team work well for him.

I really can't wait for the day this shithead, with all his leaks and self preservation tactics are gone from the club. Worst captain in premier league history and it's not even close. He should be ashamed.
Anyone remember all the highlight reels he retweeted of himself just passing the ball around, as if that was justification for his selection last season? How insecure do you have to be to do that? Utterly despicable character.
Those rumours last season of there been a divide between Maguire, Henderson and certain other members of the squad must have been true then.

It was the case with Leicester where he had Ndidi in front of him and a fit and in form Ricardo Perreria to his right. But it's also more about the shape on and off the ball.
Maguire has put himself and others in terrible positions because his off ball decisions have been moronic and it is further exposed because of his lack of space and everyone elses, to a degree.
Another international break and another 'hit piece' by a journalist from an English player.
Maguire has never been and never will be better than a fit Varane. Lisandro is also our most fierce and brave defender, who also happens to pass the best compared to all 4 CBs. So Maguire has been out through merit and whatever he wants to blame, it's just noise.
His coaches and teammates weren't there with him in Greece when it all really started going downhill. As usual, you have to look in the mirror and assess things with yourself first and foremost in a performance based situation. The performances and expectations under EtH have increased significantly, and for his position at the club, he's struggling. He doesn't fit what is needed to the team.
This natural culling was always going to happen. He might have a professional approach to things and have a good attitude, but he's not a character nor personality to be a main player.
He's still a good CB, but as EtH says, good isn't good enough. Harry isn't good enough. United aren't meant to just be good, they're striving to be the best again. He ain't the best.

Get this loser on the transfer list and out in January
Absolute flop of a player who has become a literal joke in football. 4 relegations and zero trophies, how the feck is he captain of this club?
Needs a back 5 and 2 DM’s to start looking like a professional player? what a joke.
I also love how he’s pulled a ‘Pogba’. The minute he joins up for international duty the leaks start coming
what a shitbag

what a shitbagWhat a loser this guy is. Absolutely useless. He also has an insanely punchable face.
You forgot to mention that they all have to be fast too, to cover his lack of speed.
I’m certain the moment we remove Maguire, Ronaldo, de Gea and Shaw from the first team squad, we’ll see a genuine lift in the team. (De Gea isn’t disruptive but we need to move on from that type of keeper).
And apparently he also needs a decent keeper to cover as well. So he needs a decent keeper, back 5 (with pace) and 2 DM’s before he feels comfortable.
Issues with that are:
1) If Maguire that badly needs pace around him to be able to function to a competent level, that's a fault with Maguire first and foremost. You can't just say "I'm shit at this part of football, why aren't the rest of you doing something about it?".
2) He's previously played a lot better with that exact same level of pace around him than he did last season, so clearly that deterioration in his form can't just be pinned on that.
3) While De Gea's communication may well be an issue, it hasn't stopped Martinez immediately looking better than Maguire upon arrival or Varane looking better when paired with Martinez rather than Maguire. Similarly while sweeping is one of De Gea's weaknesses, he's at least made some improvement in that regard this season while Maguire has continued on looking exactly the same as last season.
One suspects that De Gea, who incidentally was deemed to be POTY last season by the squad at large, might argue that a bigger factor in last season's malaise was Maguire performing a clown show in front of him week in week out.
Love the "leaks close to the X" stuff....
They always end up being the truth, don't they.
And it's always the same individuals, the entitled ones....
Harry, take a long hard look.
Yes, you.
You know you don't belong at this club.

ETH has put a cat named Martinez among pigeons.
we know damn well who those quotes are from @SadlerMUFC
80m for a guy with the agility of an Eddie Stobbart. Biggest fraud currently at the club, maybe even in the club's history.
DDG has minimum four good years left and doesn’t seem like a controversial player in the group. So I wouldn’t spend to much energy or money on replacing him.
He needs taking for a forrest and to be given the old yellow treatment.
How do we sell for a profit when we paid 80m for him?
In the England setup he has had Shaw to his left, Stones to his right and Walker further right. For us most of his time here he has had Lindelof, Shaw and AWB. That's more than enough pace. Just constant excuses from him is all I hear. No wonder our mentality has been so poor with him in the team.
A lot of our players seem to lack self-awareness. These comments aren't surprising. Maguire's comments before the Liverpool game last season said everything I need to know about him. Then cupping his ears after scoring against farmers in a friendly for England.
He will be replaced in the summer if ETH has any desire to play the style he played at Ajax. If the goal is to continue playing like we have over the last 4 games, De Gea is sufficient. Not being controversial is the bare minimum requirement. His skills aren't up to the required standard.
It was very obvious at the time a good chunk were. So many people were ardent that it was simply journalists using us for sensationalist journalism, but the facts were there to see.Guess the rumours about him preferring to work with Henderson are true then. So many of last season's rumours are turning to be true
Worth noting Harry that the defence also shipped 44 goals the season before too
Ole basically gave the entire bench false promises, played a good few players through injury, and then got sacked. Rangnick came in and tried to be head-teacher when it was basically 'schools out' for the squad owing to the fact that everyone knew he was interim, and chose to basically shit on every single player in every press conference. And then sprinkle in the fact you had at least 5 senior players who knew they were leaving that summer; Ronaldo vetoing both the interim and at least one other potential option; Greenwood being banned from the side for alleged rape/kidnapping claims; one or two players literally choosing when they would play... It was a bit of a warzone last season.
The audacity to have your PR leak this while being paired next to Varane. Takes a true leader to blame everyone else for your mistakes.
Captain Harry, everyone.
Captain Harry, everyone.
The funny thing about those tweets is that Maguire is basically a defender who does well on an individual basis, as a defender alone. Even in his periods of good form he never really clicked and formed a partnership with anybody, which is really weird, considering he is supposed to be the leader.
Without a doubt the worst captain we've had that I can remember.
He needs to go
De Gea is currently one of the major weaknesses in our side. He might have four good years left in his career but it's not with a side who play the way we want our team to play.
But in relation to this thread, that's by the by. The only relevant point regarding De Gea is that it would be pretty ridiculous for Maguire (or "sources close to Maguire") to try to suggest De Gea was more at fault for the defensive issues last season when pretty much everyone including their own teammates could see that wasn't the case.
Maguire could also do with taking note of the conspicuous lack of hot takes from "sources close to De Gea" that have found their way into the press over the last decade or so he's been at the club.
He’s on crazy wages and his form has been inconsistent for way too long. We need a younger more proactive keeper.
Forget buying him, whose bright idea was it to give him the armband?
We used to laugh at Arsenal for giving randos the captaincy like it was nothing.
Ridiculous wages, no chance we are extending his contract, he’s nowhere near good enough, he hasn’t been good enough for years, we need a better keeper for where we want to be and achieve as a club.

I don't disagree with anything he's leaked, but I don't see any benefit now to doing so, in fact the opposite. He lacks pace, we all know that. Playing him as we often did with Lindelof and a keeper afraid to come of his line, with no actual defensive mid was a recipe for disaster. We've moved on, morale in squad is improving, all this does is cause issues. Bad enough when starters says crap like this but when subs as he now is, do it, it's disgusting.
Blames everyone but himself. This guy needs to be booted out for leaking this stuff. Squad morale is going up and then the captain PR team leaks this. Has to be in list of Worst United captain
Maguire is quite the selfish fecker isn't he.
Not once did he come out in the press talking this none sense when we were losing and he was playing regularly. Now we're winning and have started decently he comes out with this shit just because he's not playing.
Hopefully ETH will deal with this the way Fergie would, by getting him out of the club. For too long the players have been given free reign at this club, time to end it once and for all.

This ironically admits he doesnt belong in this team when they are winning and full of positivity. Great job Harry
Yeah the De Gea comments piss me off the most. He’s won things here and has shown he was world class for a while.
Then you have this guy who’s our captain blaming him instead of fronting up and improving his performance?
I get that Dave’s time might be coming to an end here, but Maguire so clearly believes he’s one of the worlds best and a team should be built around him

Aren't the comments from "sources"? Besides blaming De Gea for Maguire and Shaw's performance was a regular occurence on caf last year. Although not from a majority posters.Yeah the De Gea comments piss me off the most. He’s won things here and has shown he was world class for a while.

He’s not going to work in the kind of team ETH wants to build. Hope he has a great World Cup and the clamour for Newcastle to sign him kicks off.
De Gea makes our defence look worse. It doesn't matter who plays in front of him. Every defender will look worse when you have a keeper that does little to no proactive keeping. He doesn't sweep or catch crosses. Even though Maguire shouldn't make comments on his teammates like this, he is right about De Gea. That being said, De Gea isn't the only reason why they were bad. The individual errors they were making were clear for all to see.
Wouldn't be surprised if the source is Henderson especially with the " it's all De Gea's fault everything was better with Henderson"
Disgusting PR article and utterly shameless.
Whatever lingering support he may have had is long gone after that article.

Correction.... Flying somersault kickable face
We won't even get 25 million for him. End of days for him, finally. Captain my ass. Mr. Relegation.
