I love ETH but that was Moyes with Fellaini!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Brilliant news! It was a great through ball. Wout deserves his assist.
Ever team needs an unsung hero, i call him Wout Workhorse.
I love Wout.
We've been devoid of players who actually give a feck for years. This man is on LOAN, and giving his absolute all every single game. His enthusiasm is infectious, and he enables others around him to shine.

So gutted for him that left foot howitzer of a shot was saved. That would have been glorious.
“I just took a moment [after the game]. I can do really tough or I can do really cool but for me this is a childhood dream. A childhood dream to play for this amazing club, to play a final and also be important in this final with [the assist for] the second goal.
“You have to take a minute otherwise everything is passing you by before you even notice and before you’ve enjoyed it. So, yeah, I took a moment there and that was the greatest moment of the evening.”

Great assist. Looks easier than it was.
Wished he could have scored in the final, deserved it for his hard work.
Depends entirely on how he plays for the rest of the season. He's had some games where he's done quite well (other than scoring of course) and has played a good part in helping our team and attack function well as a unit. But he's also had some games which have completely passed him by and he hasn't really provided much at all.
If over the rest of the season we mostly see more of the former, then I'd happily bring him in fulltime. But if it's 50/50 or more of the latter, then I'd hope we look for someone who can do a job more consistently.
For his pressing, work ethic and physicality really. He can offer something else to the team.
Honestly, can't help but feel pleased for the guy. 2 months ago probably not even in his wildest dreams was he imagining he'd be standing in Wembley lifting up the first trophy of his career, and for all his limitations he's working his balls off to show that he deserved his place there
Thats how i feel. Barcelona were just too good for him but yesterday he was able to do exactly what was asked in the biggest game of his career and he contributed to the win.
Why not just go for a player who can press and has good work rate but can actually score a few goals too?
As for his physicality its not good enough, how many times is he beaten in the air despite his size advantage?
Hes been a decent stop gap but next season he needs to be improved upon as a no 2 striker. Maybe he can stay as a no 3 striker (I would prefer someone younger there though)
Realistically who would you get for 10m that would be a better 2nd striker? Wout has also proven that he fits in the team and wouldn't need time to settle in.
Why is the budget 10m? Also he has not proven anything, if Rashford picks up an injury he hasn't even proven he could produce 20% of his goals. We're getting away with it at the moment but the no2 striker needs to be able to add goals else we'll be in trouble long term
I would sign Marcus Thuram on a free to replace him to be honest, again happy to keep him as the 3rd striker, but he is not good enough to be the number 2, great lad and I like him but its quite obvious he isn't of the required quality if we want to challenge for league and UCL next season
He's really living the dream
Was cool seeing him crouching in front of the fans just smiling and relishing taking it all in

I had really mixed emotions seeng it. Was happy for him because as you said, he definitely is living a dream but at the same time I think it's inevitable he will go back to Burnley after his loan ends because even though he gives 100% every game, he is just well below par in terms of skillset required for a club like United.
Even if thats the case he's still lived the dream - he got to play for United, winning a trophy and setting up a goal in the final. Something that would have been unimaginable for him a few weeks ago.
That ferocious left footed shot, wished it had gone in for him
Wouldn’t mind we sign him as a squad player if he costs about 10M or so to get him from Burnley. An absolute workhorse and definition of a team player

Exactly
Don't think he'll stay and if he does it's very limited playing time as we need a new striker anyway but still cool for him and cool to see someone relish in that way
He's contributing and I hope stays on beyond this season.
For £3m, he’d be an excellent squad signing.
He's really had an insane last 4 months. Imagine how he felt in the summer compared to now.
Following on from scoring two goals in the World Cup.
For me he has shown the exact profile of attacker wr should be looking for. He unfortunately isn’t good enough to be a long term option but we should be aiming for someone who is hungry, durable( played every game), presses hard and also doesn’t mind looking for a pass. If there’s one complaint I have from our current attack then that is that most of them are slightly selfish and we could do with more passing in the final third
Burnley paid 12m for him, I'd imagine they want at least half of that back.
I enjoyed that moment yesterday where Botman squared up to him trying to intimidate him but quickly realized that Wout wouldn't be intimidated and shit himself

Just left me thinking... who the feck squares up to Wout Weghorst?!
ETH wants a big physical hard working CF. He got the best out of Haller at Ajax and is making it work with Weghorst.
Oshimen would be a huge huge upgrade though,
I like Wout for all the reasons people have mentioned. He's not a good enough footballer or goalscorer though. Good loan deal stop gap until we get a proper fix in the summer.

I’d like to keep him as a squad player, there will be plenty of minutes for him, he offers something different
His one touch football is very good. Couple of nice assist too…..
The ManUnited Ty. Only need United headphone and water bottle.
Why did they play the original song in the background?
Would imagine the Wembley staff don't have the United version sitting around? Or they didn't understand what they were supposed to play?
To be honest, I’d be too embarrassed to play one of those cheesy fan covers and would have played the John Denver version
Why not both, I am sure we have room for 3 or even 4 strikers as we are fighting in multiple competetions, also Weggy is sure happy even on the bench too!
I think he’s a bit better than some people are making out. There have been a handful of moments where he could have scored but for an inch (of luck or quality, we don’t know). For fun, imagine two or three of those went in - then we’ve got a guy who can do the job ETH wants plus gets a few goals along the way.
Sure, at this point, that’s just fantasy, the reality is he doesn’t score. I wouldn’t think he’ll be our first choice next year unless he starts delivering but I have a hunch the goals will come.
