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.

Hate to burst your bubble and all but Buendia literally just went for 40 million from the championship
Yes he apparently is but I doubt Ole will tell him any transfer news. He’s just guessing and asking for clicks is my thought
I think you're right about that
In terms of people underestimating Sancho it's also important to remember that Halaands only goal drought in his Dortmund career came when Sancho was out injured.
Dortmund began dropping down the table and looked like not getting top 4.
Then Sancho returned and they got top 4 with Halaand scoring again. Almost always assisted by Jadon.

What does this even mean? He's not scoring enough worldies for you? Such a bizzare comment.
i used to think romano was super reliable, but im starting to see why people call him a tap in merchant. He very rarely seems to put his neck on the line and jumps on stuff once its reported elsewhere
Means Ruben Neves is better than Kante because he scores worldies
Sports reporter in doing his job shocker
does it also mean that Sancho is not as good as the 3rd choice GK (who was on the bench) or maybe there is another valid reason or Southgate is just crazy.
Not as crazy as having 3rd choice GK ahead of Sancho, unless of course Sancho is injured
The more important Q is, do you really support Enyimba FC?
Let's get Laurent Robert out of retirement
I think i read somewhere that some rule States that you have to have 3 goalies in the match squad.
its a pretty silly argument you have here.
england had Rashford, Sako, Grealish, DCL all on the bench to provide options up front.
when you have 12 subs - it’s not a ridiculous idea to have 2 keepers as an insurance policy against an exceptional turn of events where two keepers get injured. That’s more sensible than having your 5th choice attaching sub available.
I mean that's a pretty good defensive job of having two keepers on the bench. Seriously when have two extra goalkeepers ever been needed? The odds have to be tiny. Much more reasonable to have another outfield option.
All teams have had two goalkeepers on the bench so far, maybe it’s a rule that they have to? I don’t know.
Sack sancho, sign grealish.
I presume so, I don't think even Southgate would randomly do it.
Nope, got that far and couldn't stop laughing.
I imagine other countries do it?
if Sancho is considered to be behind Rashford, Grealish, DCL and Sako (which today he was) then he’s not needed.
of course the odds of needing two keepers is tiny, but the impact if you needed him is massive. Simple risk management. Risk = probability x impact.
but you don’t need another outfield option when you have 10 on the bench.
Few other teams have the quality of Englands squad though.
2 keepers is overkill. If it were that important we would see it every week in club football
It was £33m. And I actually wanted United to sign him for that, I think he can push into that £50m bracket. He's super talented.
It means, go watch his Bundesliga goals for 20/21. Around 50% of them were scored in absolute acres of space, with not a man near him. The kind of defending he wouldn't face against the worst team in the PL.
Grant has often been on the bench this season as well as DDG or Henderson.
They’re not in charge of the team. I’m sure there’s many on here who want Sancho to start for England but the fact is that Southgate at present deems him surplus to requirements. Maybe that says more about Southgate but it’s not a good sign as far as Sancho is concerned.
It’s a rule set by UEFA:

Ah fair enough
Even if you subtract those goals his stats is exceptionally good.
Weird question.
Then why isnt everybody doing it? I was watching a Sancho vid from a few pages back and it said hes the only player to get 15 goals and 15 assists in 1 season since records began.
There has been some serious talent in Germany over the years and yet Jadon stands alone
Does he really need to repeat the same thing 3 times every day?
He's said literally nothing new and rarely ever does, it's the same repeated reshashed BS over and over.
Damn him for being good at reading space and exploiting it. Maybe if he signs you can start a petition for him to only shoot once he's dribbled past 5 players.
Ridiculous criticism and a ridiculous post.
Also what about the other 50%?
Filtvedt is full of shit, i hope this helps. It reached a point where he stopped pretending he knew the lineups
I hear what your saying but it is his job, and if it’s working for him then good for him.
I just don’t understand people getting so bent of shape over his tweets, I find it a bit bizarre.
Plus most of the time he’s replying to the barrage of questions he gets asked on Twitter.
I suppose he doesn’t have to answer them but he does.
It literally means nothing for Sancho. Stop trying to put relevance into international fixtures for a players quality. It's a different world and the managers are 90% of the time mediocre managers who failed at club level so took international football who do team spirit and nothing else.
He's not retired.
Maybe you should look at highlights from City games or our goals this season!
The way people go on about the Bundesliga is crazy. The way people talk about Sancho makes it clear they know nothing about him either. The way people go on about Southgate leaving him out as any relevance to Sancho and not just Southgates ineptitude/lack of relevance of international football to club football either makes me think that they've watched football for 1-2 years and haven't realized this always happens. Was Scholes shit and overrated because he was punted out of position? No. He was a better center midfielder than Gerrard or Lampard but the managers wanted different things (very clearly wrong things). Southgate has loads of options to choose from around his squad. He chose Trippier at LB ahead of Shaw who was arguably the best left back in Europe and Chilwell wasn't even in the squad. He picked Sterling who was awful all season, garbage most of the game (but yes he scored a goal even though it was a bad finish) ahead of Grealish, Sancho and Rashford who all had far better individual seasons, and are more talented players individually.
Maybe Southgate just wants something specific. Maybe (probably) Southgate is just a garbage manager who plays favorites? It means nothing for Sancho's individual quality, just like it meant nothing for Carrick to continually be left out despite being a key cog in a regular title winning side.
Confused as to who you are talking about for either player!
That's the 95m € question, isn't it
As for the 'acres of space' stuff, United had less average possession in the PL than Dortmund in BuLi and people using that argument might as well take a look at Rashford's goal compilation.
sorry, wrong thread!!!
