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?

Nice.
I have seen him play in a box to box role - Anyone confirm whether or not he has played as a more disciplined CDM? Could he fill in for Casemiro next to Fred let’s say?

As an Eriksen replacement it’s a very sensible choice.
He’s not the best player in the world but he can do the job similarly to Eriksen.

Would have preferred an option to buy to be part of this but a very good signing nonetheless
Would be great if he makes Merson look the clown that he is!

No he’s not a Casemiro filler.
10 mins till take off, lets hope he boarded and didn't get lost in the airport or something.
My partner once made me miss a flight when we were in the airport waiting
didn't speak to her for a day.

didn't speak to her for a day.Yes he's played 6, 8 and 10. His interceptions and tackles/90 indicate he'd probably be able to play there.
I don’t see us having any issues making it permanent if we choose to do so. He’s surplus to requirements at Bayern anyway.

To be honest, seeing as we have no idea who our owners are going to be/what sort of financial situation we'll be in come the summer, I'm not sure it makes that much difference.
What we are light in, in the centre of midfield with Eriksen gone, is creativity. Casemiro is by far the most creative of those we have left and he is primarily a CDM. Sabitzer is definitely needed.
No buy option is a shame but I’m sure if things go well a deal can be done.
If he fits in and does well he will of course want to stay…with Laimer going to Bayern next season we should be able to get him for a decent fee with or without a buy option.
If he does well I'm sure there would be a deal to be done. Bayern may find it awkward and high risk to call him back if he becomes well settled in Manchester and really wants to stay.
Feck sake , I can walk faster than that, change planes ….
From my extensive scouting of him on youtube, he looks like he is ready for the rough and tumble of the prem.
If this is it then the flight left a while ago - https://www.flightradar24.com/MCK301/2f0869e010 mins till take off, lets hope he boarded and didn't get lost in the airport or something.

For sure. But nothing he has done so far screams that he is a good sports director, or whatever his position is. Obviously, him still being on a "learning curve" and the club being on sale probably make rating his performance a bit more complicated.
Nonetheless though a good director can make some reasonable deals for future stars. It happened to us numerous times prior to 2013.
I don't think anybody is surprised by him anymore.
Arsenal could sign Jack Wheelchair back and he'd call it great business.
Well, duhhh!
So have we got an option to buy or not?
An option to buy would be nice but the situation at Bayern doesn't change much for the player next season. He is in his prime years, will want playing time. If he does well for us then getting him on a permanent in the summer won't be that hard. The cost will be fairly low as well i imagine.
Also maybe the reason for no option is down to the time frame. We have to meet a deadline and the extra time taken to organise it may have proved to difficult.

Wow, this one come out of nowhere. He's no world beater sabitzer but is a very hard working technically capable player who can play in numerous positions perfect to plug some gaps in midified. Which is what we desperately needed.
Iv picked the flight up aswell I think currently just south of Frankfurt due to land in Manchester just after 7pm by the looks of things.
Let's hope the club manage to pull there finger out and finalise it.

A "flawless" professional you never hear anything negative about. Somebody that never complains and always is a big team player, that is hard working in training and takes care of the younger players. If you should wish somebody success and a lot of playtime then that is Marcel Sabitzer.
Christian Falk saying there isn’t a buy option but Jason Burt saying there is.
Not sure who to believe.

I'm chuffed we can get a player of this quality for peanuts after losing Eriksen
Not sure why people give a feck what he says anymore. It's like Paddy Crerand being on TV and talking about us.
Goretzka I guess?
He is going to be a good signing. I can feel it and that is why i'm sad there is no buy option in there. If he plays well, Bayern will demand a premium.
We aren't even buying him and Merson called it a panic buy. Shrek faced wanker
"He knows the club! He knows what a title push looks like!"
Just flying by Frankfurt.
Think I'll celebrate this with a white wine sabitzer
That should be no problem. We seem to be close to agreeing a deal with Laimer, his replacement. So he’s surplus and definitely available after the season. You should be able to sign him for reasonable money.
