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.

VS
Stadium: Old Trafford
Date: Friday 26th December 2014
Kick-off: 15:00pm GMTWe're at home, so a 1:0 win should be doable. My prediction is 1:1. 60' Perez, 78' Rooney.We should really win this but it's a losable/drawable game in my opinion. I put 2-1 Rooney x2 and Perez x1Who knows, we should win but we also should of won vs Aston Villa. Depends who plays, 2-0/3-0 or something for us if we're clicking.We'll win it 3 or 4-0. Not worried about dropping points today as you don't see long runs of wins very often for teams who aren't the finished article.
De Gea
Valencia Jones Evans Young
Carrick
Herrera di maria
Rooney
Falcao van PersieNo EVANS please!
Jones-McNair or McNair-Jones should start.He might go with the lineup he used against Hull City
De Gea
Valencia
Smalling
Rojo
Young
Fellaini
Carrick
Mata
Di Maria
van Persie
Rooney
Obviously we could have Shaw in for Young, Jones in for Smalling, Rafa in for Valencia and Falcao in for Robin but who knows.No 352, no Evans, no Di Maria on the wing. We need a really positive performance after that dour tripe we just saw.
Hopefully Fellaini and Herrera recover from their illness. Sorely missed them against Villa.Feck this 352 off, especially if we're going to be up against a team where you'd expect us to keep the majority of possession.No 352, please.
DDGNo Rooney in CM. Give RVP a rest for the Tottenham game.
Rafael - Jones - Blackett - Young
Carrick
Herrera - Di Maria
Mata
Falcao - Rooney
Play four at the back, play Carrick in midfield, play Herrera, play Rooney upfront = win.If it's 5 at the back again, please play Herrera and Fellaini in the double pivot. Front three of Rooney, Falcao and Di Maria.1. Play 4 at the back.
2. Carrick in midfield.
3. Drop Mata for Di Maria.
4. Anything less than a convincing win is unacceptable.
LvG is saying Herrera is injured. Just hope it isn't serious. Consolation is Fletch won't be starting soon.Someone should make a banner saying "no 3-5-2"Herrera has said on Instagram that he has a little injury. Dammit.DDG
Rafael Jones Rojo* Young
Carrick
Fellaini - Di Maria
Herrera
Rooney - Falcao
Depends who is fit, really. No 5atb, though, please.Please bring back the diamond!

If Rojo and Herrera will be fit.
And Rafael should start this one I think.Are they still without a decent keeper? Heard they were looking to sign an emergency keeper as all three are injured at the moment.
Hopefully we see this and Rojo instead of Blackett.
The for the Spurs game, RVP taking Falcao's place. It is time we return to this formation instead of using the ugly one.
Good selection, very probable, plus Mata & Wilson impact subs, Fellaini pitch time if over illness.
There's possibly an argument for Blackett or preferably Rojo if fit for Evans who was inefective against Benteke today, and culpable for the goal.
Is that the last we see of Fletcher, for a while?
So happy Falcao lasted 90' and scored, the one big plus from today.We should start with Evans left back in the dressing room!Yeah left back in the changing room...De Gea

2-0You've got to be joking...
Edit: ok, you got me.
Anyone and anything with the belowrules
1. Evans and fletch - No thanks
2. DiMaria in wing - No thanks
3. Carrick in defense - No thanks
1. Di Maira in Middle - yes Please
2. Fellaini in Midfield -yes Please
3. Rooney at mata position -yes Please
unfortunate for them but hopefully they will have to face us with their 3rd goalie or maybe even their 17 year old GK. a bit unfair but that's football for you.

maybe rest rvp for the next game and give mata a start.a game to give rafael a start perhaps. hoping for no fresh injuries during the week. as if always when we just look like having all players back then 2 or 3 will limp off on friday's training or just being unwell for the weekend game.No back 3 please and hopefully we bloody play mata in a number 10 role or just bench him, he's just awful in the middle of the park coz of his lack of physicality, lost the ball so many times thereIs Shaw expected to be back for this?I'm not quite sure i can take another 352 with Evans and Fletcher.Can't stand this 3-5-2 any longer. Ah and Evans too.High scoring game with examples of how not to defend.
3-2 UnitedPlaying 3-5-2 against Villa was unexpectable. time to go back to 4-1-2-1-2(diamond) formation
