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.
You have no authority here NinjaFletch! No authority at all!
What does home nations and naturalised citizen mean?
The home nations is just a name for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
A naturalized citizen is someone who gains citizenship through residency. So like Diego Costa became a Spanish citizen after playing in Spain for a certain number of years.
The home nations signed an agreement that they can’t get players through that. You have to have moved to the specific country before you were 13 and attended schooling for at least 5 years before 18.
What about someone like McTominay who only played for Scotland due to his grandfather being Scottish?
Thats not a naturalized citizen?
He literally qualifies for Scotland through his family.
Yes I understand now haha.
What a ridiculous concept, good grief 
I didn’t know that. Might as well close the thread.
as mentioned, Brazilians like Deco, Pepe, Jorginho & Costa all played for the counties they played in for several years. I didn’t realise it was different for European players.
