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.
Made it look easy.
Who knew having good players makes a team better.. Ole in!
Mason motm. Overall not our best game but still comfortably a level above Brighton.
Job done. No drama. Exactly how it should be!
Great, dominant win. Let's cheer for West Ham tomorrow
Bruno and Pogba are a deadly combo

Good comfortable win with a lot of nice football played. Martial could have been more involved and Rashford has yet to hit form, which hopefully means there's still better things to come.
Happy. Good performance. Lovely goals. Players rested. 3 beautiful points.

That was type of game United was losing earlier in the season but tonight proves once more how much progress the team has made. For those keeping count that win now means United are on a 15 game unbeaten run, 38 goals scored and just 4 goals conceded in that run.
15 unbeaten and a routine away win with some great goals.
This is fantastic, I'd forgotten what it felt like.

Cracking performance. From first whistle just went to task on Brighton. Was a great performance. Dropping in half your bench in the second half had that affect but the game was well and truly won.
Couple more additions and we will be fire next season. Quicker CB to partner Maguire and a RW like Sancho, maybe a few cheaper squad players (Maximim etc) and we will be a real team next year.

That 3rd goal was fecking fantastic. Game went perfectly too, had the chance to rest Bruno and Shaw after an hour. Greenwood and Bruno the standouts for me. Keep this up and we'll win every game from here on in (tough ask, but the chance is there).
James has gone all "Lingard!"
So many good performances tonight. Almost in tears at the joy of a hard long day at work and then coming home to enjoy a sublime away performance. Pogba, Shaw and AWB solid, Matic and Fernandes IMMENSE. Greenwood MOTM.
That was delightful. We’re slowly getting better. If we have a good transfer window, we can begin to challenge for the title.
Best performance since the restart, that was superb! For the first hour we absolutely dominated them and that last goal from Fernandes was excellent, one of my favourite of the season. We lost our way after the hour mark, probs due to the changes we made but apart from that, it was a great display.
Could have given Greenwood or AWB motm but gave it to Fernandes who was back to his best.

Matic sublime, Bruno superb, Greenwood dangerous,
Near faultless performance.

Our first eleven is really impressive. Superb performance, in the end easy three points.
Major plus is Greenwood's performance as a starter, his best yet.

I'm genuinely excited by this team. It's got serious potential.
Started on the front foot, didn't let BHA settle into their defensive shape but most importantly passed the ball quicker and accurately. Makes all the difference, and could've got another couple were it not for taking our foot off the gas and the usual dross replacements.
Another excellent performance by the boys tonight, with Pogba & his pal running the show while on the pitch. Love it.
Ole is bringing sexy Back
Oh ffs. You mean, resting players and comfortably seeing out a win. Honest to God.
Never any doubt. Can next year start now and do we really need Sancho (yes, we do but still)? Greenwood and Bruno fantastic. Bruno was smarter with the ball today. He didn't try to force it so much like he was last game. Greenwood is a real player. Now if Rashford can start scoring. Matic and Pogba fantastic as well...
Good performance tonight, never looked under serious threat. Goal 3 was a peach, awesome ball from Matić.
Matić is looking like a different player alongside Pogba and Bruno.
Enjoyable to watch, definitely heading the right way.

Really disappointed by the way we set up in the first half. It was as though we were planning for the United of 2019. So unlike us to sit back and try and stifle the game with the hope of getting something on the break. Second half was much better from us. But take nothing away from United that was a seriously impressive performance from you, completely broke us down time and time again in that first half.
Gone are the days when you struggled to create, I thought you looked dangerous from all angles and that third goal just too good, meh....

And for once, we actually had fast start. No messing around at the start which has been one of the unfortunate features of our team for a while now...
3 pts and a clean sheet, well until I saw that 3rd goal.
turned into a routine win. Quality personnel In midfield is everything, when we took Pogba and bruno off we huffed and puffed like earlier in the season.
was a vocal critic of matic earlier in the season but he has put in Some good performances. Think we are in the ascendency and have some favourable fixtures For collecting maximum points if we are to keep sweeping these sort of teams aside

Really good with the first team. Matic, Pogba, and Fernandes is a really strong midfield with a lot of creativity. Greenwood was brilliant also.
Rashford has looked a bit off the last two games. Martial was not really in the game too much.
Massive drop off in quality with the substitutes. Confirms that we need quite a few replacements on the bench.

Great team performance. Total dominance for the majority of the game. Kept it well and created good openings. Three very good goals, especially the third one. Reminiscent of the old Utd.
Great first 60, poor last 30. Important 3 points.
The high point for me were Bruno, Greenwood, Matic & De Gea making some good confidence boosting saves.
Imagine if we had Grealish off the bench instead of Pereira.

This has banana skin written all over it and we made it look so easy. Love this team!
And on Saturday we're at home to the most out-of-form team in the league..
Great match. Chuffed for Fernandes. We are taking the 3rd spott
Well what do you expect
Why is it so surprising that when Bruno, Pogba, or both are off the pitch that United struggle? That's how it was the first 3 or so months of the season. It was extremely laborious to score a goal, aside from 2. Matic is fit and in form, he sets the foundation. Pogba is controlling the central of the park and spreading the ball. Bruno makes it tick up front. Rashford needs a goal so bad, but he has to keep going and contribute in other ways if he's not scoring.
Perfect game. Finished it within the hour so we could chill and save energy for the last 30.
Easy win, controlled the game. bruno and mason top performers.good game from de gea too.
Very good performance, dominant and exciting to watch. Managed to rest players too in a match where we have recently struggled. Good day .
