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.

.............Heaton..........

...........McT.......Fred.................
................Iqbal.......................
Elanga..............................Garnacho
..................Martial........................Hard to nail the starting XI spot on for this one. But I'm not sure it matters as the gulf in class between our B squad and whoever they've got is substantial. But then again, their new manager sincerely believes that his squad should be competing for the top half of the table in League One right up there with Port Vale and Peterborough.
I'd go with this, though with Maguire in instead of Martinez. Hopefully Mainoo from the bench and half an hour for Martial and Martinez.
@Damien when do we get Mainoo in the team predictor?
He is young. Time is on his side as long as he keeps his development and performances in this positive trajectory.Rest everyone barring Martinez. Possibly some game time for one of the young midfielders?
Richardson and Cathcart too.
Chris Casper developing nicely I hear. Not to mention Ben Thornley.This is our best chance of wining a cup and getting to a semi final again

These lot are 17th in League 1, if we can't afford to start Elanga, Maguire and one of the young CMs here then there's really no point having them in the squad. Be nice to bring Martial on later in the game to try to get him a goal if possible too but that would be either a luxury or because the starting XI isn't doing the business.ETH’s first real test.
Yeah me neither
Give Iqbal an opportunity?
Provided we get job done we could do with City and Newcastle drawing each other----------------Butland--------------

Elanga--------Iqbal-------Garnacho
-----------------Martial---------------
It's a risk starting Martial, but he desperately needs a goal. We might also see Lisandro get some minutes.
Bruno, Shaw, Casemiro and Rashford need to be rested at all costs.GK
AWB - Lindelof - Martinez - Malacia
McT - Fred
Antony - Eriksen - Garnacho
Martial
Save Rashford, Varane and Casemiro for City and Arsenal. Our width in the attacking area is really poor, so we will probably have to play the same players a lot. Hope they can keep fit and sharp.
If anything Martial needs to play his usual 60 minutes again. He needs match sharpness and right now he's quite far from sharp.
More than a goal he needs match sharpness. He needs as much game time as possible to get there.All key players need to he rested
He might get some minutes but I was thinking more at number 10. If Bruno and Eriksen are both out, there's nobody else to play that final pass and give us the cutting edge we need in the final third.
Annoyingly Sancho is one who maybe could, but I don't think we're going to see him for a couple more weeks yet.I wanna see the chuckle bros and McFred. Shame Donny is crocked cos I’d rest the whole midfield. Elanga and Garnacho upfront? Should have enough to see these lot off.All these 9pm games are killing meMust win
Do you have 9 lives?
Nope
So these aren't actually killing you thenThis seriously isn't on TV?
I guess it will be on abroad somewhere, so no choice but to find an illegal stream?
I mean, it's a cup quarter final and it's not on TV
Yeah that is surprisingThis seriously isn't on TV?

If I was playing football manager, this is the one I’d go with but I’m sure ETH will go slightly stronger.
Think DDG, Casemiro (came off early), Antony will all start.Butland
Dalot (need minutes)
Martinez (likewise)
Maguire (he'll be fine, hopefully!)
Malacia
Mctominay
Eriksen (I don't fancy him to start vs City)
Zidane (if not now then he should go on loan)
Garnacho
Martial (overall he hasn't played all that this season should start).
Antony (there's no other option)Is this game being shown in Ireland does anybody know? Premier sports or something?
Not on regular channels in UK and Ireland.Perfect game to field McFred, as work rate is the one thing you can guarantee Charlton will put in.
I wonder if we'll try and field all of Maguire, Lindelof and Martinez from the start.Fun fact: Charlton made his debut aged 18 against Charlton and scored 2 goals.Charlton League one outfit as are Sheffield Wednesday who knocked Newcastle out of the FA Cup tonight.
Could be a tricky tie especially as i would not expect ETH to go with a full strength team.
You started following football 5 minutes before you posted this?Heaton
AWB--Lindelof--Maguire--Malacia
McTominay--Fred
Antony--Eriksen--Garnacho
Elanga
Subs: De Gea, Butland; Dalot, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes; Rashford, Martial
or start Martial and bring him off after 60.
Good one.Team vs City should be-
DDGSo rest the majority of these players apart from Martinez who needs game time.
Dalot - Varane - Martinez - Shaw
Eriksen - Casemiro - Fred
Bruno - Martial - Rashford
Time to rest players. Being ready and fit for City is more important- Status
