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 really need to stick with Ten Hag regardless of how this season goes as if we replace him we all know it will be with zero planning or foresight.
I am starting to get LVG vibes from our performances though

I think ten Hag needs to trust youth when his first teamers begin letting him down. Hannibal, Hojlund, Garnacho, Mejbri, Amad and Pellistri are some really fantastic young options and every single one has solid first team experience which I think is a key distinction from the past where we'd be expecting young players with 0 senior experience to slot seamlessly into the first team, most of these lads are already in and around the first team which is a major help. They're also in a very good variety of positions too which is a bonus, especially with how weak the squad depth appears at first glance. That's also not mentioning Gore and Mainoo who I personally believe are ready for some amount of minutes. This season could be a very good opportunity to do an Arsenal-esque rebuild of bedding in these young players which will stand us in good stead in future seasons.
Not just them, also Rasmus, Alejandro, Diallo and Facundo!
Of course there's no white text, I'm serious. JLingz is an icon and a bigger legend than Frogie and Plastic Face put together.

If the same story is repeated by Ducker, Simon Stone, Whitwell and couple of other journalists at the same time then it's a briefing by the club, if some journalist randomly posts something on this then it's just guess work.
When you see messages like this, the reverse is actually true. If bad results continue, he‘s gone. Well, Ajax can use him right now.

Smart move by EtH, teambuilding with the fams.
Must been awkward when he came around to talk to J-Lingz, Sancho`s new brother.
A vote of confidence from Murtough and Arnold is about as useful as an ice cream in a volcano.
@vanderpants did you get an invite?
Oh I quite agree.
Actions speak louder than words though, and it seems pretty clear that the board are backing ETH’s stance on Sancho, for example. I’m not sure that would have been the case in the Woodward era.
You just know the car stinks of Lynx AfricaThink i know who might been leaking information out of the dressing room. I think he might have friends who have a bad influence.
Rangnick was right about a number of these players. With a capable DoF we could also have skipped the clean slate period and been aggressive moving many of them in ETH's year one. I don't even blame them, they should have been sold and replaced with players who actually had a chance of thriving in organised play. Oure squad to manager compatibility isn't great. Admittedly questionable transfers haven't helped.
I just feel like it all started in year one when the club told him the squad was good enough resulting in an ugly start to the season and several dozen millions in inflated panic transfers. Despite the numbers it doesn't even feel like we've spent anywhere close to 400m.

The Glazers will always take 3-4 windows to do what needs doing in one.
Then end up paying a premium putting out fires from said ignorance.
Hasn't been the case for 10 years now.
There's something really heartwarming about this BBQ photo of Ten Hag with Maguire and Sancho.
Posts that sound racist.
The club is not going to sack ETH. They have already invested 400 million in him. The next manager will probably want someone better than Antony, more experienced than Hojlund, younger than Casemiro, faster than Martinez, more reliable than Onana, and so on, so it will be like starting over.
How is deodorant racist?He's not had all his signings on the pitch at the same, not even once. Judge the signings and the team when he has.
They did invest into the squad, not in him. As soon as someone else will get better results with this squad he should go.
It's not that I believe this would be the case soon, it's just that this mentality of the club invests into a manager makes the manager bigger than the club and that shouldn't be the case.
Great managers/coaches define clubs and define eras. They are the most important employee IMO.

I love this football.
Of course you are right. But the squad stays when a manager leaves and any investment into the squad is still there. It is not lost money.
United as a club and many of its fans however treat it like that, don't demand that a new manager fits the squad and that's why United conducts terrible business in the transfer market. This mentality has to change and I will call it out whenever I come across it on this forum.
Can’t watch the game. How do we play? Style is back?
He's slowly but surely getting bodies back, including new signings and we instantly look better for it, who would've thunk it?

Which manager defined Real Madrid during all of their CL wins?
Zidane.
Nothing wrong with a bit of rotation eh Erik.
There are a few bonus points after all. Very happy with him, Nice rotation, nice use of his team, many youngsters and even a few subbed in. Very very good.
Good job today.
That's a 10/10 from ETH if I've ever seen one. Spot on rotation/tactics/ gave a runout to a fair few players. Hopefully he learns to trust his squad more because it's not like our first XI is the second coming of treble winners.
2 wins in a row, rotated well and rested key players like Bruno & Rashford, would have been nice to rest Cas but I understand why he had to play 90 mins, we controlled the game so Cas didn't expend alot of energy and he performed very well too.
On the next one Ten Hag

Great Post match interview there.
Interviewer a real cnut though bringing up Sancho. What a wanker.

Yup
Any one else think he was extremely friendly with the players while subbing them?
Joking with Hanibal, etc....
In regards to the Sancho incident maybe?
Love the bald cnut
