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 hope the club doesn't make the same mistake again, sign some older incredibly expensive star to sell more shirts. Allow the remaining players to develop instead and use the money to sign younger players who can deliver for many years.
You probably need to get a little bit of perspective in your life.
Ultimately the right call.
Goodbye Ronnie. Absolutely gutted with how things ended.

Doubt there's any takers for him, wouldn't be surprised if he's going to regret his interview with that rat. At least we can finally move on.
Also nice that the social media accounts won't be flooded anymore by the entirety of the Middle-East claiming how shite of a manager ETH is. Finally he can play his preferred strikers for the rest of the season without having to defend himself every weekend.

And on we move. Ten Hag the big winner.
feck off scumbag
This shouldn't be underestimated. After several years of it with Pogba, Lingard to lesser extent and more recently Ronaldo, it is very refreshing to have characters like Martinez and Eriksen instead.
Good riddance and I'm glad the club acted now rather than the day before he was due back for training. It's over, onwards and upwards.
No great loss, did not want him when he came back.
All you will get now is him bad mouthing United to anybody that will listen, hopefully the rabid fanboys will also do the same and leave.

Plateaued means staying the same! We'd all have taken that from the past!
be interesting to see who snaps him up
The manager played this beautifully. Silence and then bang.
It's not how you spell plummeted.
Oh no Now Iam a saaaaad panda, anyway ... this was not supposed to happen, way to ruin your legacy Cristiano.
Now Iam a saaaaad panda, anyway ... this was not supposed to happen, way to ruin your legacy Cristiano.Ducker and Wheeler reporting no pay-off for Ronaldo. Good stuff.
So glad he's gone. His insane arrogance and ego don't allow him to recognise his decline and accept his place in a squad. He could have offered us so much as a squad player with his winning mentality, inspirational dedication to fitness, and as a player to come on and score the winning goal or crucial equaliser when we've got teams pinned back and need someone to get on the end of chances in the last 15 minutes. Instead, he's tarnished his legacy.
Not sure that's a very accurate depiction of reality. Ten Hag is 52 and has been managing for ten years, although United is certainly his first shot at the big time.
Shame it's ended the way it did...he's always been a self obsessed nob but his ability no longer outweighs his nobbishness. Still the best I've seen at OT and one of the best ever, but has definitely tarnished his united legacy with how it's ended.
I'd pay him extra to join Liverpool or city.
Glorious news. Not many clubs will want him - he's a shadow of the player he was and will torpedo squad harmony. Most big clubs have too much sense.
Delighted he's not getting a payoff too.

Good, need to look for a forward in January.
We can use his wages to out towards buying a new striker in January.
Agreed. I’d imagine the past few days have been spent by our lawyers explaining to Mendes that they’re wide open to lawsuits, and that a clean break with no payout and no legal action taken is a more than fair compromise for his client.
People already want to sign Kane. After Ibra, Cavani, Ronaldo, Ighalo you'd think we'd have a better appetite for something more long term sustainable.
And people thought he wanted a payout, He just wanted out
Cristiano who?
Legend! Thanks for the two hattricks/top scorer/player of the season
If he wants CL this season he'll struggle, is what I meant. Sporting aren't in it and face a huge fight to get in it for next season. I don't think he does have many options to be honest.
I don't think that's possible as that would means he would be losing 499.5M United fans in Instagram. We don't have that many there.
Fantastic news.
Like Freddie Gibbs once said, don't let the knob hit your booty when the door close.

I am sorry, don't like it.
First, we wanted to leave, hence the lemonade interview and that is exactly what he got! I would have suspended him, no wages, until end of the season. Big "you can't do that" and f**k you to him and every other player who might behave like that.
Second, timing is horrible, he will play WC game soon, this will make him happy, he got what he wanted. Imagine prick scores and whole world talks shit about us how we destroyed "his majesty, God of football". Wish they kept him in the unknown so he can be worried about it and have shit WC.
Yes I know, I am horrible person, but can't help myself thinking we bend over big time.

Martial FC is eating good tonight.
sorry but as you can see im a newbie....but couldnt united decide to keep him until the summer?staying on the bench should be the punishment for what he did.
I just hope this means we’re going shopping for a striker in January
I really hope you get him at Sporting. If he does end up there, I look forward to your assessment then.
That’s my worry - how much did we have to pay / waste to get rid of him
Finally the team and Erik Ten Hag are free from this circus. Going against your new manager on public tv is absolutely disgusting behavior. HIs interview will age horribly.
I was as pumped as anyone when he came back, even though I knew we were not getting the Ronaldo of United or Real Madrid or even Juventus at this point. He did really well the first season but his ego is now larger than his ability.
