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.

For me, Varela has had one bad game (half) and that was against Liverpool when he allowed them to equalise by being turned and tricked twice in one move.
Not sure that warranted him not being seen again.
Its like how Januzaj came back from Dortmund, came on against Southampton as a left wing back, gave away a free kick which lead to their winner, and we never saw him again in the first team.
Or half injured Nick Powell was just thrown on...
Madness.

I'm not sure how many Andersons we need to see before learning not to make sweeping judgements based on 6 game sample sizes.

He's too good for U21 level. He's now 23. Either give him games or let him move to Italy like originally planned.
I like his attitude and enthusiasm in attack. Positioning would be his weak point. He has the legs and appetite for The Premier League.

There once was a kid from Toronto...
That's hardly a sweeping judgement. Darmian has been trash.

So, it's better to make judgement based on 1 game?Varela got consistent game time until he got out paced and shown up by Coutinho, that is just a bad memory for everyone. He had a piss poor game against Liverpool and he's been demoted as a reason.

Januzaj played for us after that vs Arsenal after that and has been injured since.For me, Varela has had one bad game (half) and that was against Liverpool when he allowed them to equalise by being turned and tricked twice in one move.

Varela was suspect positionally in portions of every match he played. He just got away with it in some of them. He's brilliant going forward, yes, but let's not delude ourselves about his frailties.
Brilliant again in attack throughout the U-21 match against Tottenham, but I want to see him have a good defensive performance before I'm going to rate him higher than Darmian or Valencia.
Darmian has been poor of late, but earlier in the season we've seen him play well defensively. Defenders need to defend.

How many full back do you know are adept at attacking and can actually defend properly. There are only a handful in world football and given Varela's limited opportunities with first team football I think he has done very well but there is room for improvement across the team.Varela was suspect positionally in portions of every match he played.

We're talking about a young fullback who's had maybe 4 or 5 starts at most for United, right?

I really wanted him to do well. I am not understanding why can't we keep him? He was excellent at RB along with Valencia. Don't understand the logic why he is being shipped off?

Kicker says Frankfurt want to loan him (1 year) with an option to buy. Talks just started so it could take a while until the move is completed.Good move, hope he does well, any idea how much we're getting for him?
