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.

If this wasn’t cleared with the club there would surely have been some leak saying he’s out of order etc. He sounds happy. Good sensible management by ole if that’s the case. Now let’s see what he can do in a more settled setup!Having recently been married myself, I can only imagine the wedding date and venue was selected/booked way in advance.

Why hasn't he been in the last two squads? Is he injured?

It's time for him to step up.

He definitely must have a part to play in this team?
I really want McTominay to succeed but I find it difficult as I haven't really seen any flashes of something that I think could make him a top player.
Fred has shown glimpses of what could be a top player, so with the right management I'm sure there is a player there.

Now that we have a stable defence it’s time for Fred to start having a run in the double pivot.

Unless we play Sanchez as the 10.
Fred/Matic and Mctominay behind Pogba.

So what's really going on with Fred?

I have to admit, I also feel this way. This doesn't seem like just a player who can't break into the team. There seems to be more to this...... I don't know what, but something is not right regarding Fred.So what's really going on with Fred?

He should be played up the field instead of Lingard.

Born a freak always a freak.
He should be played where Pogba currently is, and Pogba should be pushed up the field instead of Lingard.He should be played up the field instead of Lingard.

It's time. Give him a few games on the bounce and see how he does.

What the hell is going on with Fred? Our midfield is rubbish and we start Lingard and have Matic on the bench and Ole is not bothered to have a look at Fred?
Yes he made mistakes when played but he sure as hell would be an improvement right now.

His touch and passing is very inconsistent in build up. For opposition managers he must be an instant press trigger.
Maybe he can improve but him not even getting a chance is worrying, he must be gash in training.

Don't say that. I had the audacity to suggest that perhaps the reason Gomes isn't playing is due to him not pulling up any trees in training, and then some particularly "triggered" people suggested I was "making shit up."Maybe he can improve but him not even getting a chance is worrying, he must be gash in training.
Saying that, people don't particularly like Fred, so you'll probably be praised for your astute observation.

If he's that hopeless in training, why didn't we look to sell him? Even a Shakhtar would take him back for a decent 20m fee. Even more maybe.His touch and passing is very inconsistent in build up. For opposition managers he must be an instant press trigger.

I don't know, maybe no one actually wanted him. Maybe we were never going to sell him for 20 million. Maybe the staff think he will get better.If he's that hopeless in training, why didn't we look to sell him? Even a Shakhtar would take him back for a decent 20m fee. Even more maybe.
He is Ole’s ‘Anderson’
He is trying to copy Fergie in every other way so why the hell not?

Maybe selling yet another midfielder isn't the right move when we're already thin enough in midfield already. An injury to Pogba and our remaining midfielders would be McTominay, Pereira, Matic and Garner. It's astonishing how shit our midfield is.If he's that hopeless in training, why didn't we look to sell him? Even a Shakhtar would take him back for a decent 20m fee. Even more maybe.

He needs a few games on the bounce. He'll make a mistake or two, but give him a chance. If he doesn't show what he is capable after a good run of games then we can critique him.
I remember Lindelof making a few howlers in his first run of games and he's improved somewhat, although I still do think he is lacking.
Personally, I think Fred will be excellent in European games. Domestically he is yet to show more than a few glimpses of quality.

We could have done with him yesterday considering how slow we moved the ball.

I can see him take Pogba's role and Pogba be moved forward, although i don't think the AM is the best position for Pogba, he is head and shoulders above our AM players right now.We could have done with him yesterday considering how slow we moved the ball.

Stories today in Italy that Fiorentina are ready to bid for him. One the one hand, he's shown little for us and isn't even on the bench now. On the other hand, we surely wouldn't thin the midfield options even more…would we?

I've been one of his biggest critics but I'd rather see Fred play instead of Lingard and have more creativity in midfield with him and Pogba.

Something very weird going on here with Fred. I can't put my finger on it, but we're extremely low on options and especially in CM, yet we have a supposed Brazilian international and CL veteran who cannot even make the bench. Something MUST be going on that we're unaware of.

Fred should play in place of Lingard. He is a far better passer, constantly forward thinking, closes players down, energetic, can dribble, and I actually think he might be good at finishing.
I guarantee Fred will be better than Lingard by a mile. It will be nice to have a player in attacking midfield who actually tries to attack.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's another one in the great fire sale before the end of the window.

Fred has to come in to move Lingard out of the AM position. I'd like to get Lingard out of the team completely but the squad is so bad we may need to play him RW.
Anyway, I'd try Fred beside McTominay and move Pogba further forward in front of they 2.
Not ideally what I want but the squad is dire and it gets Lingard out of the important AM position.

Reports that we'll listen to an offer of around 30m euros from Fiorentina (sp) before the window closes. Madness if we do - he may not be what we need but we're lacking in midfield as it is and those other options we do have i.e. Lingard are shite. I'd much sooner him be given a proper chance here.

Surely if McKenna has biggied him up he can suggest to Ole to play him.

My genuine belief is that the board is refusing to spend big until we ship out the huge collection of dross we've collected over the past 6 years. If that's what we have to do before we start splashing big money again, then so be it. Flog him for 30m odd quid/euros, and get another £500k off the monthly wage bill.
