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?

Buy one? I know pretty bold
If we are really that skint we could get 20m for Deano and spend 30m on Reya. Instant 5% possession boost.
It's beyond belief! I'm staggered by how insistent some of our own fans are in wishing us to fail.
Problem is what is the new first choice keeper want if the second choice is the highest paid GK in the league?
Right but this is changing the topic.
The whole conversation started with ddg is the reason we lost, hence the response in turn saying there are two statements which aren't the same.
We deserve what we are getting presented week in week out. Never seen a fanbase as easily pleased as ours
Why the feck would you give him a new contract when there's absolute no guarantee his number 1 next season?
This club is run by morons, we'll be watching City dominant football for the next 20 years If we keep making idiotic decisions like this

Yup, it makes perfect sense. Henderson wants out or at least he burnt his bridges at the start of preseason and both Butland and Heaton are not good enough. We all want a new number one goalkeeper, but unfortunately with the proposed sale of the club and the upcoming financial fair play restrictions it's not easy to find a suitable keeper.
We do need a striker quite clearly.
But do you not think one of the main reason we struggle to retain the ball is because we can't play through a press thanks to De Gea being awful at playing from the back and when we do get into sustained attack mode we struggle to maintain it because we can't implement a high defensive line to squeeze the space and be able to counter-press effectively because De Gea is a terrible sweeper and can't play behind a high defensive line?
ETH wants him, hence the new deal. Trust the manager
It makes zero sense. Buy a number one keeper. Our rivals wouldn't swap their number 2 keepers for De Gea because he doesn't have the required skill set.
Probably because he's not, especially relative to our actual issues which for anyone actually watching us play,. doesn't need explaining.
49 goals... 10th ranked on the League...
One of the oldest factoids about football is that goals win games. And at Manchester United, goals are something of a rarity. We are much, much better at stopping goals going in that we are at scoring them.
such a bad line of thinking. Managers arent infallible. Guess we shouldve trusted moyes for the last ten years eh?
If we’re lucky
Agreed. It's pathetic.
Ok, well here's an idea. Sign more than one player.
Horrible news. If he starts the next season as number 1 ETH is finished.
….and overpaid
There's a few clueless takes in here and solving our actual problem isn't one of them.
It speaks to a well-run club to have 2 goalkeepers on more than £100k a week, neither of whom anyone wants starting for us next season.
If ten Hag actually wants De Gea to stay, I'd sack him on the spot.
He wants to stay and is ok with a reduced role because even on massively less wages he is still grossly overpaid. And what exactly you want him to teach to a younger keeper?
On Ten Hag‘s head this one ….terrible decision
Think you might need to take a step back here.
Lost a point would be the factual argument though. Because without scoring ourselves, that's the best we could have got.
How much are they gonna pay him?
I think he'd be able to offer very insightful perspective on dealing with the pressures of starting out at Man Utd. He had a difficult early period here before he settled.
There are already fans calling for his head so I'm not sure they trust him that much.
Agreed. De Gea remaining number 1 for one more season is career suicide.
It shouldn't even be his decision to make.
It should be Murtough's and if he has sanctioned it then he should be out of the door once new ownership comes in .
And Ten Hag won't last long either if he persists with De Gea for next season.
Why? It's obvious that you can't win anything of any substance with him, so why on Earth would you extend his deal?
I can’t wait until we are taken over and the people making these stupid decisions are thrown out of the club. This was the perfect time to get rid of De Gea now we are likely stuck with him for 4 more years.
Who’s next Fred? Martial? Maybe Phil Jones.
This could come back and bite ten hag on the ass. He’s a decent manager but I do not trust him with transfers/contract renewals and pray the new owners get someone in to handle that side of things.

I can't think of another position where the club would get more return on investment from signing an upgrade. For around £30m would could get a keeper who is better with his feet, able to sweep up, not a liability at crosses and a better shotstopper
It's almost like we just have ed Woodwards mate in charge
Contract renewals are done by the club, I doubt the manager really has a say. You only have to look at the renewals we’ve made in recent years, Jones, Williams etc. The club needs new ownership asap!
Noone knows at this point, but would be surprised if it was only like half of what he is on now and I think even thats too much.
I really dont think he is one who thrives under pressure.
I'm imagining than in pure wages per week it will be less than half what he is on now.
You might be ok with us continuing to write off seasons with that coward in goal but I'm not.
Even if we are really broke let him leave and give Henderson a go he can't be worse than him .
