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?

there was something recently suggesting this is potentially the managers instructions. I think that’s probably the case as he did a lot more defensive work vs Arsenal and Saka.
was not happy with his mental side of the game from years. The key differentiator between face of the club & other players is DESIRE. something that we associate with likes of Cantona, Bruce, Keane, Scholes, Giggs, Cole, Yorke, Beckham, Ronaldo, Rooney. He's got nothing close to these guys in terms of mentality. He has been playing in the first team for 7 years, good enough sample size. He's got a good strike in him but that's about it.
If he's the best attacker & un-droppable we have to offer as the team, then we will be around 4th to 8th.

amazing he’s made it as a professional footballer when all he can do is strike a ball well
Thats the thing if you grew up with those teams/players. Its so jarring having this new breed held up on pedestals to be so underwhelming on the basics of effort, fight and attitude

. Yep me too.What more do you want? Yes he's not done it before and therefore we should never expect him to change.
Hm. But if that is what it is, given we are back in UCL, Sancho *is* currently getting 350K/week, again? While playing Playstation all night?
If he won't change, he doesn't play. That would be my attitude. You won't get anywhere with half-arsed, sulky players. It simply doesn't work unless everyone is plugged in.
need someone to change his wifi password
I never understood how we lost certs standards at United.
SAF would not have accepted this.
He's not on that, The Athletic report when he signed stated a lot less,
The £350k figure was a myth perpetuated by the red tops and lapped up by fans looking for a reason to moan.
Majority of his time at United? Not sure about that. The last few years maybe, when he started visibly slowing down.
Majority of his time at United? Absolutely bollocks and you know it as well. But who cares, eh? let’s just say it anyway.
The Greenwood thread is more positive than this one at times.
This place is bizarre.
This place is bizarre.
Thats not true at all. He was well past his sell by date by the time he left United and he was another example of a player that should have been moved on about 3+ years before he was but for a large part of his time at United he was brilliant and very few were complaining about him.
Of course he was brilliant. Possibly the player that has brought me more moments of sheer joy than any other. That wasn't my point.
Generally any player who sticks around for a long time gets to a point where familiarty breeds contempt, and they become the target of scorn and doubt, when they are either individually out of form or the club is having a leaner spell. Unsurprisingly, once they leave and some time passes, memories becomes far more positive again.
Just read a Rooney thread where people said we should take the money for him due to his inconsistency (i.e. he had gone a few games without a goal) and buy David Villa or Mario Gomez, which is the same stupidity we have with Rashford every season... and more than 10 years' on, it is many of the same people who cannot post constructively on Rashford, who couldn't do the same on Rooney back then.
As i said earlier. Different qualities. He is a sprinter not a marathon runner.
We had this same talk 15 years ago when Berbatov was here. Just accept that player bring different qualities and not every is the same.
You do realise 75% of 350k is 262.5, right? Which is the contractual reduction of being shite and not making the CL the previous season where Sancho actively was rubbish.
This is probably one of Sancho's team that's found his way on the forum and thinks any criticism of the Maze Runner is an insult.
I'm not sure why you're quoting exactly what I posted - which states he's no longer on 350k because of CL reductions, then act like I don't understand the very thing that i posted telling people about?
I blame Benni McCarthy.
Hm, well hard to follow what's happening. Seems like we're on the same page.
Apologies in any case.
It would make sense that they're ETH's instructions to Rashford, but that would go against what he has said to the media.
Here is a question from a journalist and his answer before the Burnley game.
We're back in the CL this season though, so technically it probably is true that he is on 350k, ie he's no longer on 262.5k

Can anyone confirm if that's him/his car?
what will happen to him after he lost his pace and athleticism? CR7 was already a deadly finisher by 23 meanwhile Rashford is still making wrong decision at 25.
Rashford is levels below CR7. I'm struggling to recall the last time a player at this club got a big extension and didn't turn to shite.
25 games without a goal. Provides very little in attack beyond end output anyway, so he's fully on fraud watch.
As selfish as they come, only playing for himself right now.
Scored against Arsenal?
Not a top player. All fits and starts an when he is bad he's dreadful.
Apologies, it's more like 4 in 25.
Why lie then
The point was about him being shite since March. Not trying to 'lie'.Why lie then
Doesn't change the fact he's awful
Just like Shaw. Both play like men possessed for new contracts then relax.
He's obviously not awful.
The over the top reactions on here are embarrassing quite frankly.
He's about as awful as you can get when you consider the players in the 300k/week bracket.
He's not helping the team and looks like he plays for himself.
That's most players at the club. And why should it be any different (in their minds)? They all realize that a few good games in their contract year will trigger a new contract and cause the club and the fans to forget all the previous years of stinkers. Hell, I fully expect fans to start calling for Martial to be given an extension if he stays fit for a month or two and scores a few goals.
Don't even try this you will be reminded next time he does something nice that you have an agenda or something..
