In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Plays for Hull City at the age of 36, hardly disappeared.
Kinkladze.
Anybody remember Javier De Pedro from Real Sociedad? He disappeared into nowhere not long after Real Sociedads fantastic season. Very strange.
Michael Johnson of Manchester City. Was supposed to be England's next great midfielder when he burst onto the scene a couple years ago. I can't even remember the last time he played. Is he even still at City?
Yeah, but his knee is basically in his ankle now, injuries have killed a potentially great career.
Drink was his biggest demon.
No, it was definitely his knee.
Johnsons been back in training a while for them. They're easing him in back in gently i think
Sonny Pike
No it wasn't, there was picture after picture of him being very overweight, after his first injury, because of drinking, plus Mark Hughes's obvious dissatisfaction, maybe you can write a captivating blog about it.
There was a young striker at Spurs a few years ago, Kane I think it was. I think he had to retire before 20
Djordjic, he even won our young player of the year award. I don't even know if he is still playing football
What's that Merida doing now adays? I know he was highly rated at Arsenal
Quaresma
Antonio Núñez

Quaresma

Lionel Messi
Ilsinho. Brilliant young fullback-turned-winger, another Shakhtar gem. Scored a memorable 89th-minute winner for them two years ago to send them to the UEFA Cup final. Was sure he'd be in for a transfer to one of the major leauges, but he dropped off the radar and now, still just 25, he's back at Sao Paolo and I haven't heard anything about him at all.
Here's the goal...
MaYoMo – Shakhtar - Dynamo Kyiv 2:1 Ilsinho's Goal

Also, Petr Cech. Maybe a stretch, he is still #1 at one of the biggest clubs in the world, but he's half the player he was before Stephen Hunt brained him. Before that, he was impenetrable, the most feared keeper in the world. He's not been seriously in the discussion of "best keepers" since he's been wearing the bonnet.
Owen Hargreaves
Disappeared to Internacional where he's been quite good of late. Just won the Copa Libertadores with them again.
Good shout this. Remember seeing him score a goal for City in the FA Cup in 06, didn't see much of him afterwards.
Now playing with Newcastle in the A-League.
Ummm remove the personally, it has the same meaning.I'm intrigued... what does personally following a player's career consist of?
Eg. Personally, I prefer chocholates to sex.(actually I don't)
Zaki was a bit of a hit in his first six months in England, and turned to utter shit. Wonder where he is now.
Fantasy Premier League legend in the start of the 08/09 season
Cherno Samba and that really good AM from CM2000/01
No he isn't. IIRC he signed for a Vietnamese team in 2009 and turned into a joke. I think he joined some Greek club this year but was sacked soon after.
Merida is at Atletico Madrid, Quaresma is shining at Besiktas. Antonio Nunez is just crap.
Ilhan mansiz retired due to injury and is now training with his Slovenian fiancée to compete for turkey at the next olympics in ice skating. Fact.
moved to plymouth i think, hes in hungary now apparently
Nicolae Mitea the Romanian prodigy who played well for mighty Ajax is looking for a team for more than a year...he is still under 25.
Nuri Sahin. We were linked to him when he was 16 after he made his début for Dortmund at a ridiculously young age, around the time we missed out on Obi Mikel. He was meant to be the next big thing. Just gone completely off the radar now I think. He might still be at Dortmund but I haven't heard anything about him since about 2006. Still time though I guess if he's only 20 or so.
You not seen him this season? He's been excellent. Almost back to pre lobotomy form
One of the most impressive players in the Dortmund side that has brilliant this season, currently at the top of the table.
Sergio Asenjo was supposed to be an up-and-coming Keeper at Atletico but De Gea has the spotlight now, what happened there?!
He's been brilliant for Dortmund this season.
After signing for atletico Asenjo had a rotten run of form, De Gea was given a chance and grabbed it, never looked back since.
Kleberson is doing very well at Flamengo. He was in the 23-man squad of Brazil in this World Cup.
Biscan is now the captain of Dinamo Zagreb. I watched him play in the Europa League last week.
Smertin became a politician after being released by Fulham. I think he is an MP of a Russian state now.
Le Tallec was loaned to five clubs by the dippers over 7 seasons. Not sure if that's kind of a record.
I'm here damm it!!!
