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.

I think it’s quite clear for a while Messi is only out for Messi..
It's a very South American thing in some ways. Money and lot's of it is all that matters.
Remember he is Jesus next to Maradona as God.
Looks like PSG are really pushing the matter with Messi's camp.

“Feasible financially” 
It’s the fecking pretence this lot and City go through to pretend they’re playing by the same rules as everyone else that really pisses me off.

Greedy dwarf.
Let's hope PSG signs Pogba this summer to make best use of Messi's time there.
Oh he has the right to chase money everywhere he can get it, for sure. He also has the right to consider he has enough for him, his family and 23 generations and to think that it's more important to be forever seen as the player who never left Barcelona and decided he'd help the club that allowed him to be the player he was meant to be by cutting his salary to stay there when times were hard. He chose the 1st option, duly noted.
Last hour
It's like when you're at an auction and you bid 5 dollars for something you know is worth 100 just to be a part of it
Crazy thing is he may not even have a club this year!
Such a coward, going to one team league, to the strongest club and all for money. Straight out of Cristiano playbook.
A club "made" the player is absolutely BS. Club is not a charity and player doesn't work for free either. Messi terrorised Mourinho's Chelsea when he was only 18 yr old. He progressed to Barca 1st team after joined them for 4 years.
Not even remotely comparable, they changed club multiple times before that, none of them is a one club player. Messi was 2 years away from a near perfect legacy. On top of that, the amount of money they made wasn't as obscene as Messi.
It's not only the club as an institution, it's the fans, the legacy you leave behind, Messi cares more about money that he cares about being "Messi of Barcelona". He has the right to do so, but it speaks to his character, that's it. He's just like the rest of them.
I realize with that squad PSG will be even bigger favourite to win the one competition their club owner truly cares about but I have trouble believing these star players are looking forward to playing week in week out in a French league.
I honestly wouldn't even care if Messi came to City or United, because I'd get to see him playing in the PL and the fan in me would just enjoy watching him compete in the best club competition even if it meant he was playing against my team.
What's the challenge or vaule of winning Ligue 1 where your team costs ten times more than your closest rivals? I know money is important but if you had to leave Barca, wouldn't you want to test yourself against the best in the most competitive league? Or maybe I'm just being naive.

You could definitely afford it.
Creative accounting from Roman.
Can also definitely see you getting him. More likely than City IMO.
the pull to play with Neymar and Di Maria is big. Let alone with Mbappe, Veratti, Ramos, Hakimi and Donnarumma in the team too.
PSG looks a done deal?
After Barcelona, Maradona went to Napoli and helped the underdogs beat the rich clubs of Northern Italy...
After Barcelona, Messi will join one of the richest clubs in football history...

Be funny when PSG still can't win the CL after signing bloody Messi.
They've had a great window the oily gits.
Poch would find it hilarious.
In commercial terms it is a great move, in sporting terms a disastrous one.

M€ssi gets the money he needs, I was worried he was going to go hungry.
Messi in Ligue 1? So boring.
Not like Barca won a CL since 2015.
He could do that, but what would the effect on team morale be when he's still scoring and assisting all over the place and the rest aren't, but still earning hundreds of thousands a week? What about the reaction of the fans? They'd probably turn on those players pretty quickly.
I agree with you though...I'd forgo my wages for a season if I were in his shoes.

Done deal according to a few French sources, his father reached an agreement with PSG earlier today apparently
Might as well start carving their name onto the CL trophy as we speak

Fixed that for you
How long is it since Messi won the CL?
Would love Juve to knock out the plastic cvnts sometime this season in the CL and Ronaldo to smash the winning goal deflected off Messi’s wallet
Ronaldo "suuuuuuu"'s him right in the face
