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?

I agree witht the person above; not sure Valencia will be able to play. Huge opportunity for Darmian assuming he starts.
Is Fellaini fit? Him and Pogba should be the CM's. I'd keep Martial in, he hasn't been great but I think he'll come good.
Only change I'd make is Mhky for Mata, think his pace could help us.
Those are the only three question marks in our lineup for me.
What is city gonna look like?
Same 4141 but with no Auguro or will Pep go more pragmatic?
But no derbies lol first one I've missed since 83!Cheers buddy.
I can't get much older buddy lol I'm 45 and feeling like 65 today haha. If the lass allows me to I'll stay back at the hotel but we know how that'll end. She's a blue scouse. I know and I'm sorry!!Even with jet lag, Valencia should absolutely start. It would be insane to bring in Darmian for his first involvement of the season in the Manchester derby. We'll already be missing Fellaini and possibly Mkhitaryan. Changing a winning team too much is asking for trouble and there's no way Mourinho will even consider it imo.
City haven't kept a clean sheet yet. You really think they'll get their first against us with the attacking options we've got?Aguero banned for this one, then.
Or you could play with 2 very attacking, fast full backs like Shaw and Valencia. Considering that, we could probably get away with only having one fast winger. I'd assume Mourinho would like to start Mkhitaryan for this one if he's fit. Lingard wasn't involved in the last game even though he said he was fit before that so not sure if he'll be getting into the team. Could see Martial getting dropped. Thought he was terrible against Hull and was poor in the previous games also with the possible exception of the 2nd half against Southampton. Wouldn't be surprised to see Mkhi and Mata as our wide options. Would be a nice surprise to see Rashford starting though.Hold the gate for the first twenty minutes and game will be back to normal speed by. Go to half time nil nil and we set ourselves for a great second half with Rashford coming in and scoring one.No Augero is a big advantage.
Confident we'll beat them.
We beat you with Benjani and Vassell up front when you still had Ronaldo and Tevez. We'll wipe the floor with you.
The kid with the name I can't spell has shown very little outside of the box in his short career. This gives us the freedom to push up and condense the midfield.
This is a huge advantage. City can't afford to lose this imo. We have Watford away next and a so-so Leicester at home.
There is a realistic scenario where it could be mid October away to Liverpool being tbe first time we drop any points.
I don't think a Mourinho side, who have set a blistering pace at the start of the season, have ever been caught.
This would be a huge win or point for City if they manage it.City will win this game. No logical reason behind my opinion. Just one of those football funny moments thing.
if Jose parks the bus as he is capable of against Pep.
Your just nervous before a huge game which is normal, but we do have the advantage here and are more likely to win than city. I predicted 1-1 tho as I see neither team being fully committed and not wanting to lose it but I guess we will have to wait and see. Either way I'm really excited.
We'll just unleash RashfordWe beat you with Benjani and Vassell up front when you still had Ronaldo and Tevez. We'll wipe the floor with you.
And Ashley Young.
Tbf, almost all attackers in that game was underwhelming.
It does not help that we have another slow striker Zlatan playing with him.Will still be a difficult game without Aguero. We should go all out for this. Replace Rooney and Fellaini with Micky and Herrera.Zlatan time
I think whether Smalling plays could also depend on how far Bailly is traveling for his two internationals and when he gets back, as we have the annoying Saturday lunchtime kick-off. De Bruyne tends to float out wide right a lot so I'd trust Shaw to pick him up
Dont forget the Penguins!!!Miki wont be involved he has a third degree bruise on his upper thigh and is suspected to be out for 7-10 days. Although that is a big blow for us I suspect he wouldnt have started anyway.
Meh. The report is from the Armenian FA, not from United. All they said was he would miss their qualifier and this type of injury can take 7-10 days to heal. Nothing about him actually being out that long. I'm not saying he won't miss, i'm saying let's wait until he's back in Manchester getting looked at by the medical staff and officially ruled out by Jose.
Our Olympic diver - this games in the bag..We'll just unleash Rashford And Ashley Young.
I don't think there will be any changes in the line up.
Valencia will start, even if he is flying the day before. He can travel business class, and sleep through the whole trip and then sleep again at night, he will be adequately rested.If Mata starts I don't think we have a chance of winning unfortuanately.Defend and attack on counter,start this with Rashford and Lingard as wing forward, with Pogba/Fellaini/Rooney in 3 man MF.With Aguero out - Sterling will be key for City. That is why I want us to go with someone on the right side who is capable of doing lots of defending. If Fellaini is out - this team could be interesting.
De Gea - Shaw, Bailly, Blind, Valencia - Carrick - Martial, Pogba, Rooney, Herrera - Zlatan
With Herrera keeping tabs on SterlingCity will move the ball quickly and press high in all areas so therefore we should limit the number of slow players and players more uncomfortable with ball in our line up; Blind, Carrick, Fellaini, Rooney, Mata and Zlatan come to mind. Of that lot, only Blind and Zlatan should start imo.Mkhitaryan out is a big loss, they'll flood the centre and we'll need the pace and legs to stretch them out wide. Highly doubt we'll see it but Martial and Rashford flanking Zlatan on the wings could be excellent. Three man Pogba, Herrera, and Schneiderlin/Fellaini midfield.
Has it been confirmed that Micki's out for this game, because i didnt get that memo?
The Armenian FA said he has heavy bruising that will leave him out for 7-10 days. Will definitely miss the Armenia qualifier this week.Why don't all the South American games take place on Tuesday latest? To give their European players a chance on the weekend games.
And whoever decided this game should be an early kick off on a Saturday after internationals needs a slap.
I'd say he'll be grand then man - aslong as he gets his arse back to Carrington & put's it in an ice bath..
On a sidenote - did you have any money on Portugal to win, or are the powers that be, taking the micki (pun intended) out of you?
I dont think CONMEBOL(LOX) - the South American Football Federation, gives a rats arse about european leagues & clubs, Red.
On your understandable annoyance of lunchtime kick-off's; these type of games (same as with our Pool games & Rangers vs Celtic games) used to always be played at lunchtime because the cops think both sets of fans wont have time to get pissed-up & it narrows the potential for trouble.
It's pure nonsense though - fan's just get up earlier than they normally would on matchday (before dawn with many) & get on the sauce, or just stay up partying from the night before.
Another reason could be, that the Prem is trying to maximise global viewership with this kick-off time; but it must be the asian market they're targeting - because they're around 7 hours ahead of GMT (perfect time for that region), whilst the States is 5-8 hours behind GMT - depending on what coast you live on.
Total bummer if you're stateside & you're not out on a session the night before. They should be though - as it's cracking way to end a night out.
I used to watch United's Prem games in the pub at 2am or so, when i lived in New Zealand & watch United's Champions League games in a railway station cafe at around 6am (when the game wasnt on Sky - no red button in those days), which was just around the corner from where i worked - total pain in the bollox not havin a few bevvies in ya though, but i took a day off the odd time & went on an early-morn lash.
Feck it - i was on a working holiday visa, so it would have been rude not too!
Nah. I think it was due to the poll during the Euros, where about 16 or so people voted for Portugal.
Ok, cool man - well done anyway. Good callNah. I think it was due to the poll during the Euros, where about 16 or so people voted for Portugal.
Wonder what the odds would have been though - probably around 7-1?!
Just checked & betway had them at 25-1 & bet365 had them at 10-1.
Back to the game - are you goin to it buddy?
The atmosphere will be electric & Manchester will be rockin too!
Like when we won 4-2 at OT for instance?
Which is literally irrelevant to this game... To beat this city team we have to play with pace out wide so that we can counter them effectively and pin back their inverted wingers. Mata is a quality player in certain circumstances and if he played instead of Rooney in the number 10 position i would be all for it but if he starts RW then that pretty much takes out our main threat going forwards. Miki would be my first choice at RW but if hes injured then lingard has to come in in my opinion.Not sure if it's already posted been here, but here is the promo for the upcoming Derby game by the @aditya_reds. I personally don't like to see this as Mou v. Pep but it's a quality video nonetheless.
