We will be recording an episode tonight. Does anyone have any questions they’d like to ask the team?

I have a few man.

1) Pretty much accepted that with the squad we have, competing on multiple fronts is not going to happen. To that end, what would you most WANT to see this season (from a realistic standpoint)? Winning the Europa League and guaranteeing a CL spot, fighting hard all year and finishing 3rd or 4th, or winning a domestic trophy? And then what do you THINK will happen?
2) McTominay. Seems to split opinion enormously on the Cafe. Discuss.
3) Who should be starting on the left the most this season? Rash, James or someone else?

Why are we dropping the standards for Ole?

Would you take Zlatan for a year?

Tammy Abraham vs Rashford?

Who would you accept beating us to Top 4?

What is it you most like about Kazakhstan?

Where do you guys stand on Ole's policy on youth? Should players like Gomes/Garner/Greenwood get more chances at the cost of Mata/Matic?

Why are we dropping the standards for Ole? Nobody is dropping the standards. This is what a true re-build looks like and he is doing a fine job at it.

Would you take Zlatan for a year? NO. Well past his prime and why should we take away playing time from players that will be here next year for someone that wont

Tammy Abraham vs Rashford? Rashford (all day long)

Who would you accept hearing us to Top 4? Nobody

What is it you most like about Kazakhstan? BORAT !!! and his sister.

Why are so many United fans currently so determined to slag off their own team?

Serious question...and this is coming from me! I get moaned at constantly for moaning about the team so much!

In seriousness, I want to ask about Rashford. I'm on the side of the fence that he gets way too much criticism. How do you guys feel about him and his development?

Had a 21 year old Rashford been integrated into a side supported by Aguero, Silva, De Bruyne and co, it would be a bit normal in terms of his expectations.

So your first five questions were jokes?

I feel like we have seen solid progress under ole. There appears a specific game plan and transfer strategy and I feel it will be far easier for us to win games against "attacking" opposition then the cannon fodder. Do you agree or do you think Ole is more of the same?

Also, I feel special consideration needs to go into the fact that our squad has been stripped down to the basics so that we know where the club needs to strengthen. We knew defense was a weak point so we fixed it. Similarly we now know where midfield and attack need to improve. Do you think this heralds back to a Sir Alex method of rebuilding and long term strategic thinking by the club, or penny pinching? my view is the former.

Why do many United "fans" seemingly dislike United more than for example Liverpool?

has @Stobzilla gone into hiding after his bizarre preference of Lingard over a player like Fernandes from a couple of pods back

(hope I got the right one)

Nope, started a new job working nights at Amazon so my time to spend on the pod will be scaled back for a couple months until I get my settled schedule.

Also, get fecked.:D

What exactly does the majority of the matchday CAF expect from Ole's reign this season? I would think majority would be ok with a top 4 finish. But the toxicity in the matchday threads seem to tell me otherwise. They expect us to batter teams and do it in a style befitting of Manchester United. Is that honestly realistic given the quality/size of our squad?

I have one.
Do Man Utd English fan base have too much patience for our British players and too less for our foreign players?

Thanks for your questions guys, we tried to cover all of them, I didn’t ask all because some were covered as the pod went on. There were a couple we ran out of time for, so I’m sure when we do another one of these segments we will come back to them!

1. Will the rebuild continue in January.
2. Will Ole be backed by the board.
3. Will the Glazers put money into extending Old Trafford.

Bumping this for any further questions in the wake of the West Ham game. We'll be recording at 10pmish UK time on Monday so get them in before then.

If Rashford, Martial and Greenwood are all out for Arsenal, who should start up front?

Would playing Young wide right be a better option than Juan 'slower than a snail carrying dumbbells' Mata?

United do not have a right winger in their squad and have not signed one in over a decade. Can you explain why?

I believe one thing really hindering our play at the moment is pace of movement, such as the speed with which we transition through play and move the ball across the pitch. Too many players taking too many touches for example.

Does the pod agree this is a major issue, and what are your thoughts on other serious problems we have?
