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.

Villarreal will get pumped
Easy win for Utd.
Ole’s first Villarreal test
Villarreal it is!
Another 0-0?
Another 0-0?
Villareal boys!
Villareal it is.
Emeryyyyy
what a manager
what a manager
How are they doing this season? I fear the Spanish sides
90/120 minutes of cheating, diving, waving to ref and screaming after every contact. Can't wait. 
Ffs Arsenal, you had one job!

Play Pogba on the left!!!!!
Thank feck no Arsenal in this.
I know nothing about Villarreal but I prefer playing them than Arsenal 100%.
An European trophy will make this season our best post Fergie. Even though the CL group was crap, I really enjoyed our EL campaign.

Emery has knocked us out of Europe twice, if I'm not wrong? Time for some revenge, Ole.
Villarreal was much better than Arsenal over 2 legs IMO. But I'm glad, Arsenal have been our bogey team for whatever reason. Should be a good game.
Quite simply has to be won.
They'll win
Our record against Spanish sides is poor. We are favorites but it will be a very difficult game.
Thank feck it's not Arsenal.
Looking forward to it. Surely we'll be a bit more focused than tonight.

Beat them, steal their kit, and claim it so we can finally have a yellow away kit.
Emery is a specialist .
Not going to be easy... at all.

I'd have preferred Arsenal to be honest. Villareal are the kind of team some of our players would switch off against.
Love finals on a weeknight. 
Clever.
Isn’t our record against Spanish teams crap?
Also is there any point in playing the final? I think Villarreal are already celebrating winning it at the minute.

Unbelievable what Emery has done vs an elite manager. United need to be fully focused for this. Looking forward to it.
Unbeaten in EL.
Man its nice being in a final. Such a rare feeling these days
Meh. They're crap, another easy tie. We've had this sewn up since Spurs got knocked out, even though we made a mountain out of a molehill vs AC.
Emery is unstoppable in the Europa League it seems
Wednesday is such a stupid day for a final
It's Emery the Europa master though and the Villareal players looked pumped as feck to go through. Just hope we have enough energy left.
Anyway, I'm pleased it's not Arsenal even if we lose to Villareal.

Team should be...
-------------------De Gea-------------------
AWB--Lindelof--Maguire--Shaw
---McTominay---Fred---
Rashford---Fernandes---Pogba
-------------------Cavani-------------------
Two points on this though, honestly I'd feel more confident with Henderson but loyalty will come into it so DDG will play. I also think Greenwood should play ahead of Rashford on the right but we know there's not a chance of Rashford not starting

Expect plenty of diving, going down at the slightest bit of contact, breaking the game up, cynical fouls, niggly fouls and waving imaginary cards. They’ll be just as shitehawkish to play as Camp Granada.
Not so sure. Villarreal have a proper manager unilke Arse. A guy that likes beating as too. And we are a bit wank against Spanish sides historically.
Let’s go!!
No Telles?
If we turn up and don’t choke we should easily have the firepower the give them a pasting. Be really interesting to see which United turn up though
