In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
The positives:
We played well.
Some of the United lads will be coming home.
I can't actually watch the whole final which will not be as interesting as it could have been.

England played well but Southgate took off their best player, Saka. Without him there's no real threat.
Saka missed from like 5 yards out at 1-1 to be fair.
France took their chances we didn't take ours. We also could've put them under more pressure with subs a bit earlier but there is the worry of a fast counter. Overall not the titanic battle, it was played quite respectfully and open for both teams and England fizzle out once again.
Slim slim chance. Especially in final. They never play some scary shit football but they are just unbeatable.Maybe one of our teams will take them down
Last WC in final we fully dominated them in first half. Result of that half was 2:1. For them.
Amazing team.
Aye, this is exactly how it’d have played out had he scored. Saved us all the time.
Still think Southgate’s a nob for playing Rashford so little for the second tournament running.
I am starting to think that it is a mental thing with English players. The talent is clearly there but can't score when it matters the most.
I think they sat back a bit after getting that early goal.
You had two
I’m not going to waste my time making lists for you kid you’re full of s*** or just blind if you think England didn’t create anything outside of set plays. Run along now.
Yeah after the matches against Spain and Portugal, they can't have much left in the tank. And in addition to that half the team is injured
Nah, not a chance.
Fecking Southgate, son of a whore
Need to have a Ronaldo cam for that ...
Kane 1 on 1 with Loris on the right side, could not lift the ball over Lloris.
Maguire with open header that hits the post
This is a bizarrely hostile response, I was just pointing out that France were second best and looked very vulnerable, but are still very likely in the final (unless Morocco do to them what they did to England).
But how many time are you going to bottle your chances before your window closes?
You should have never let Croatia beat in 18 nor should have never let Italy beat you on home soil in the final. This time you were up against a France ravaged by injury with Morocco waiting for you in the semi finals and you blew it.
not a drop mate, high on life
Mmmm. The ref gave offside for that.
Unlucky. Thought England were the better team, but Southgate bottled it by not going for the kill in the second half before France got their second. Rashford should've come on so much sooner.
Have to say that I really can't stand watching Harry Kane play now. He's on the left wing, the right wing, central midfield, his own half...why can't we just play him as a striker? He's wasting so much energy elsewhere on the pitch in ineffective positions and isn't then where we need him to be for the big chances. Thought Saka provided so much more today and was our most likely goal threat. Just felt that Kane actually became less effective as the game went on, and Rashford should've been thrown into the mix. We had so much of the ball without finishing them off, due to the way we attacked.
Bah, annoying, this was there to be won.

Not really. We got dicked by italy. Prior to that it was germany. Before that it was brazil.
We almost always get outplayed in the knockouts against the top tier teams.
Today was refreshing.
Being "the better team" doesn't count for anything. The game is decided by who scores more goals & England couldn't score. A bench full of quality attacking players who don't get to play. Southgate is a brutal manager !!! Zero Flair !!
He will be where he would’ve been even if Portugal had made it…not on the pitch.
The better team lost on the night, though France looked like they had another gear in them. On another day the outcome could have been different.
Come on ITV, show the big crowd scene when Kane misses
England were the better team but missed the chances and messed up their changes.
Not a chance Rashford gets crucified, or Kane walking away without criticism?
This was a game England should have won. Reality is cruel sometimes.
Not saying we deserved to win but we didn’t deserve to lose either. And that’s almost always the case for England in tournaments.
I don't like this World Cup
Must be gutting to lose to France when Mbappe doesn't even play.
Enjoyed watching this game, England were slightly better overall I'd say but France more clinical and Kane's missed penalty won the game for France basically.
Feel gutted for England. Deserved more. Difference is really the managers
to be fair when I was young I used to be emotionally invested watching England in tournaments, till I grew up and realised it'll never happen. It's not been the same since, it's just chilled been waiting for inevitable knock out.
We did well in general, but, really how many clear opportunities did we actually create?
Not a chance Rashford gets crucified while Kane gets nothing.
France defence are idiotic. Some ridiculous fouls. If I were Deschamps I would be giving some of those defenders a bollocking.
Not sure how you've come up with that. Ignorance as usual!
