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?
What the feck is Gary Neville talking about Ten Hag turning the team from 'whiners into winners'
I would let this man ride me in to battle
Neville often doesn't know what he talks about. His punditry is awful. Carragher is miles better and I do not say that lightly.
Seems fairly self explanatory. All they did last season was complain and leak stuff to the press. Some of them anyway.
Tried to be clever but ended up sounding like an idiot
What a manager 
Best manager in the world.
Think your maths is a little off.
Tonight is a happy night and I don’t want to reopen old arguments but I hope the last 6 months shows that, with some financial backing, a top level manager does not need years to effect concrete improvements. Erik is admittedly ahead of the schedule most of us envisaged but can we put to bed the myth of the multi-year rebuild which precludes any judgement of progress before some indeterminate time in the future?
He's him.
What a man.
I'm buying my first ever polo neck tomorrow.

He's not wrong. Ten Hag started coaching Twente's age group teams in 2002, straight after his playing career finished.
Thankfully those mythical 3 year rebuild schedules only exist for ex players and we'll never have another one of those as manager.
There is this thing called 80-20 rule. So with 20% of the effort you get 80% of the results. I think that's were we are now. The next 20% might takes another 80% effort. You still need a good run and some luck (e g. vital players not getting injured) to actually win the title let alone the Champions League.
Let's just enjoy the ride though!
How do you know? Do you put subtitles on?
I've actually grown to understand him. Or maybe his English has improved over time. I don't know.
The team he inherited was the result of those rebuilds. I'd say he's continuing that and got very lucky when the Casemiro situation. Any of our post SAF managers would've killed for someone like him.
I love the man. What he's done in 6 months is actually incredible. We were all levels of atrocious last season and it was such a MASSIVE job that I didn't expect such progress so soon. He's not put a foot wrong and it is insane.
You know you’re doing well if you can make Roy Keane somewhat jovial.
Second half was world class in-game management and perfect use of subs. The game management was akin to a team that does quite well in the Champions League on a regular basis, which bodes well for the future.
And this all after a gruelling game with Barcelona in midweek too.

He got lucky….You are Norwegian I’m guessing….
feels like fuking forever since Fergie was the gaffer and you had a manager who you knew woudl drive the team to success just by his sheer desire to be a serial winner
EtH gives you those same vibes....he will make you win becuase he doesn't accept losing. Best winners are the worst losers.

Anyone else saw him speaking with southgate in length after collecting the medal, hope he has asked that stupid feck to not call Rashford for meaningless friendlies. A proper 2 week rest would be great for him.
Ridiculous. We looked absolutely shattered at the end of last season.
Genuinely wouldn't swap him for any other manager.
He's the fecking man.
He's the fecking man.
I was joking. He obviously flew over to Madrid to seal the deal after the Brentford game.
You can't be serious saying this.
I don't disagree with this from Neville, last season you had Ronaldo throwing tantrums, Rashford sulking, Bruno screaming and arguing with our own players. These were all common images under Ole and Ralf. I think people have forgotten just how awful it was.
"Never, never" and he took it non jokingly. Roy Keane turning red.
You should probably go back end of last season and read through some post match comments. Also managers post SAF didnt have budget to spend? Or maybe ETH google searches worked better when he typed in 'top midfielders in the world'
His in-game management is great, I was a bit worried when he put Mctominay and Sabitzer on but it worked perfectly completely stopped the pressure they were putting us under
Their height also protected us against the long ball/ defending set pieces, which was essentially the only way they were going to score.
Yeah but its not this lot of players.
I thought the leaking came from Pogba, Ronaldo and Lingards camp?
Hope he’s had some down time tonight to indulge if he is so inclined & truly savor what he has done.
Dean Henderson too.
This post basically disqualifies you from commenting on our first and only world class manager, embarrassing.
He had 10 years in coaching and assistants roles. He was Steve McLarens assistant for example.
Then 10 years as a manager.
So he's actually very experienced
I feel the opposite.
No it's not. He started coaching youth teams in FC Twente in 2002.
