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.
Thought the red for Porto was harsh. Not convinced Griezman is getting to the end of his touch
All other PL teams win and we get humiliated.
And even if he did, it's not like other players weren't close
He's the second coming on here apparently.
Coupled with the ridiculous goal overrule that was just a dreadful performance from the refs. Porto must feel hard done by after that.
Atletico-Porto was a crime against humanity, as expected
If there is a justice Liverpool and Milan will smash both

You guys were unlucky that this is the first match Haller played rather good for Ajax. Normally he'd miss a few
How much of that shitshow did you manage to watch?
Congrats! That performance reminded me of how unlucky you guys were last season with failing to register Haller and having to play your 3rd GK (who botched it).I'm satisfied with Ajax' result
Go get us those coefficient points.
PSG midfield look so underwhelming without Verrati.
For all the money PSG has, their midfield looks like a midfield from a mid table team from Spain-Italy-Germany and not from top team who wants to win UCL...i mean they subbed Leandro Paredes for Danilo Pereira ffs.

Shows that money can't buy passion for the shirt, look at the difference in passion between LFC and United yesterday.
Did he make decent subs? That’s the acid test of what makes a good manager
Very little but checking xG they don't make 1 goal between both of them. Also, honestly? It's Atletico and Porto. Don't need to watch to know what it's about
But they got all these free signings this summer didn't you know.
Needlessly made that difficult for ourselves. But a win is a win.
And PSG drew.
And PSG drew.
SIX RED CARDS on CL Matchday 1. Nice!
Would have been a pretty good opportunity if not for such a heavy touch I think
We don’t have to create hypotheticals, we can just look at the last time we played even worse than that; was only yesterday.
Not really unlucky. Haller doesn't really fit at Ajax. He did really well tonight, but usually he's not much.
At least we had Wan go full 90's. Poch top 5 chokers of all time.
They've moved on to Tuchel now.
You lot played us off the pitch.
If the 2-3 goal stood I think we would have been able to possibly get a draw but the disallowed goal and the immediate 4-1 right after was a gut punch.
We did better second half but that first half was pure dominance from Ajax.
See you lot in the return fixture where hopefully we bring some lotion this time.
Of course.
I thought there was a bit of a Conte movement brewing.Jesse Marsch is a clown of a manager.
Absolutely, has no clue whatsoever how to coach a real top team.
I just Haller scored 4 un the CL.
He scored 7 each in his 2 seasons at West ham.

In fairness with that front three you're going to want a bunch of workhorses. A bit like Liverpool with Henderson, Milner and whoever the other dude was. The kind of players who'll work their bollocks off covering the entire pitch while the lads up front wave them off hanging out in the middle. Only PSG's front three are 100x lazier obviously.
Watching Messi point where he wants his teammate to run, before passing in the completely opposite direction was hilarious to watch. He looks like he can't be arsed. 
True though I'd expect individual brilliance to bail Poch out this season.
It's Sporting though, he bullied them like Fellaini did Ajax
and the previous pass from Fede delicious too
Poaching top players past their peak doesn't change much, if you still rely on one guy (Verrati) for the team to play properly.
I think PSG will have troubles attracting a top midfield cause they won't be down to play in Ligue 1 at their peak... I think PSG can snatch De Bruyne in a couple of years when he is past his peak and City signs a replacement for him, but that's about it.
The whole PSG team feels like a waste
Neymar, Mbappe, Messi, Veratti, Hakimi.... I'd much rather see all of them in a better league. Players like Ramos and di Maria is a bit more understandable.i'm gonna call this the days of the Tier 1 english clubs
Good win for us today, now I can finally enjoy Barcelona losing.
Camavigna has been good so far so hope he keeps getting feature here and there. He isn't the signing we were hoping for but it's a good addition nonetheless to reinforce midfield. Also gotta feel bad for Mbappe, stuck playing for that lot while getting injured, hope is nothing serious and he should prioritize his health and fitness so he can play for us right away next season.

Looked like a knock, he tried to carry on but I think it was too painful to continueGood win for us today, now I can finally enjoy Barcelona losing.

This is pretty much in line with how both performed against us last season. Haramball galore but Porto do carry a bigger threat with their press, fouling and physicality.
Yeah. Now if we got a proper coach who could get this team to play at high intensity...
