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?

We don't have money for him. It is loan or nothing i think.
Only if McT leaves but i doubt we can sell one and buy one in next 12 hours.

If that ends up being the case then selling Fred was a mistake in hindsight. Different profile of player but would have still got a lot of minutes with our current options
Well the reports from credible journalists say he's definitely leaving + Fiorentina are only discussing with us now. Plus he's rejecting any other offer to push it through to ourselves, and Ornstein said last night that the deal is on track.
So I'd be pretty confident.
Basically this guy saying we aren’t getting a midfielder. But he’s been wrong on his midfielder targets so far. So maybe he’s sticking to his guns.
I’ll be quite disappointed if we don’t get this deal done I must admit.
Yeah, we really need him.
Im a fan. Check who started this little thread!
Think he’d be good in the PL and offer us some balance.
Just order your Amrabat shirt from a dodgy supplier (not funding Glazers).
If all else fails you can change the order to Regulon
Agreed.
Bit weird that this link has gone quiet considering it's deadline day. Needs to be on the plane to Manchester for a medical already.
Despite the stagnant nature of this transfer if he plays a lot of games for us and plays well he could arguably be the signing of the summer given the inflated prices in the centre midfield market over the last 9 months or so. The rumoured price is around £20m-£25m?
If we end up with this being a loan with obligation to buy then it sounds more alarm bells about how poor our finances are.

I don’t think it’s an issue although if we’ve heard nothing by mid afternoon I’d be concerned
Will make us title contenders alright!
Gone quiet? What on earth?
Ornstein latest update was at 10 to 10 last night!

It would be a shame is he doesn't come when he desperately wants it. Pitbull, ferocious, tough motherfecker who would add some leadership, fighting spirit to the team. Based on what I read here I think some people are underestimating him as a player.
Adding him next to Casemiro would make a very defensively solid double pivot which would be tough to play against for anybody - perfect for tough away games. He's very mobile, with pretty decent press resistance and passing. He can even play as a lone 6(single pivot) in front of two 8s(or 10s, in our case) in a 4-3-3 because he's very mobile, energetic and can cover so much space.
Watch JJ Bull's(Tifo) video on why Man Utd want Amrabat. He is full of praises for him. JJ Bull was very impressed with him at World Cup and said he was the anchor of a great Morocco defense. Spain could do nothing against them, for example.

Hope it wont get embarrassing.
Really hope we get this one over the line.
My 'must-haves' before this summer were: CF, DM, GK. Onana is perfect. Neither Hojlund or Amrabat would have been my first or second choice for their positions but if we get the latter at least those three boxes will have been ticked.

I think Amrabat would be a solid addition.
There’s been interest from quite a few other clubs (he’s openly rejected several and Barca and Liverpool were allegedly admirers).
I agree it will be a flat end to the window if we don’t get him in. The injuries to Mount and Mainoo, along with the sale of Fred, make it even more important.
I have a feeling we will sign him today, on loan with a buy option.
Same here.
Exactly why you have people like Romano doing so many updates, because people are impatient children and need constant news. Then those same people complain that the likes of Romano keep updating with no new info!Gone quiet? What on earth?

Sky bet have him at 1/4 to join us and 11/4 to stay at Fiorentina, also Liverpool at 16/1 for some reason
I guess the fact he’s out of contract is the issue with regards to loaning now buy later. He’d have to sign a 1 year extension I’m assuming?

If they are our only incomings today I can't imagine people will be very happy...
It's deadline day mate. There needs to be constant updates or it means things aren't happening. Not sure you're aware but there's just over 13 hours left.Gone quiet? What on earth?

We need him for the Arsenal game.
Already has
In fairness, a lot of that is down to the media and internet conditioning us all.Gone quiet? What on earth?

It would be a shame. We'd have a weaker midfield this season than last, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Our recruitment team is a joke. Pathetic
I mean, it's Manchester United, when has sense mattered?!
McT is our own and really wants to play for us.. the caf doesnt care.
This is one of the main reasons I want this deal to happen. This dude really want to play for us. I think he will become a fan favorite by the end of the season.
Amrabat is average.. plays for a mid table Serie A side. Everyone will want him gone in 12 months when a new shiny toy appears in the market.
That said, if ETH really did tell him to wait and we don't bid now, ETH is a colossal dick.. but we already know that.
I'd come out and say we're probably the most embarrassing club in the world.
Pathetic too.
If we dont get him it should be a sackable offense by our manager. No coming back from this.
Sold Fred, bought Mount. How is that weaker?
Exactly. We should also sell Rashford.
No he isnt.
Multiple reports of that private plane booked to Manchester.
Below average ? Gets worse.
