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.

Which channel got the better pre match build up? On MUTV right now.
Was checking out SS premier league but changed when they said they interviewing Haaland next.
So Eriksen is our Dusan Tadić then eh? Honestly, it's a surprise but I think that's Ten Hag showing he knows what he wants from these roles. A false 9 needs impeccable control, needs to know how to turn on the ball and be press resistant. Bruno I've never felt suits that role, he needs to be looking forward always.It's like proving McFred can work is a manager's highest achievement
Atletico and Rayo gave us exactly what we needed to be ready for this game.Lindelof injured? Got 8/11 correct. Didn't think Shaw would be fit and we would start with Ronaldo.
Caicedo... shame we didn't get him a couple of windows ago.
Sure, it should be enough on Brighton though.Stop moaning about McFred you miserable bores.
So true
Who was the manager that took Falcao to try and do one up on us? Was it Conte? Then it backfired spectacularly as he was just as shite for us as he was for them.I have not been so excited in such a longtime! I am not expecting us challenge much but want to see fight, passion and gradual improvements. Let’s gooooo!We were all debating whether Ten Hag will play Eriksen deeper as a CM before the season and now he is our striker.Ah, the King benched on Sunday. Nice.
So what did you do to earn yours…refuse cunnilingus or something.
So don't be surprised if you wake up tomorrow and you have that tagline. Bebestation has not been seen since.
Yeah, that's quite literally the one option that nobody suggested.I think we’ve had every permutation of that front 4 guessed in here except that one - Eriksen as false 9
Hopefully it's not an 'Herrera at CB' thing.
And we couldn't win either. While Brighton were beating Espanyol 5-1. Hopefully we'll be a lot better than last weekend.
Imagine what Ronaldo is thinking -- to be picked over Eriksen? The fecker nearly died a few months ago. And ETH doesn't pick me over him?Good start 11/11 14 points
I suspect many others have also, but feck it joint top of the LeagueI suggested this Bruno-Eriksen false 9 lineup back when we signed Martinez and got laughed at btw.
I think he needs to see more of those two before trusting them with a starting spot but hopefully under ETH McF will be better guided and more clear over what their duties are and what he requires of them. Looking forward to it.
A moan about the moaners?Excited to see how Fernandes and eriksen work together and what positions they take up. Both offer us plenty of creativity.Anyone with a nice Sky river in my inbox, pretty please. Can't find any.
Why does he needs balls of steel for this? Unlike what you guys have imagined Ronaldo to be, he is actually a very reasonable player as long as the coach's rationale and capability is strong.
I am excited for this match. Eriksen is playing sort of a false nine role, getting Rashford and Sancho to cut in and provide the cutting edge. Bruno as a CM alongside McTominay is also a good choice as Bruno loves to bomb up and down the field and he applies alot of pressure on the opposition. This way the defensive workload is shared equally amongst the 2 while Fred acts as the defensive midfielder.
I'm still laughing at you.McFred are starting, Martial is our striker, there is no backup striker and Elanga is backup of no-backup-striker.
But I am still excited for the new season under new manager. To sum up my invigorating mood
? Brighton absolutely pasted us last season. Until we see something to the contrary in terms of this squads capability can we show some respect to the opposition.Liking Ten Hag so far. Didn't play it safe by playing Ronaldo. Ole would definitely have started Ronaldo even if he was 20% fit.I’ve genuinely not been this excited about a Man Utd game in many years. It probably won’t be pretty but I just hope we’ll see some signs of a change in directionI'm happy for ETH to do whatever. We were utter shite last season and he has the brain and willpower to make things work. It's good that we're trying something different, at least.Has Pellistri gone on loan?feck Off Sky , save the City stuff till after our game FFSIs this a Man City build-up? Kickoff is in 20 mins.
Sorting by shirt number, you think you're spanish or something?
This is definitely going to be a bit tough and I'm happy we will play a challenging team.
They use the ball very well and overload in central areas so our pressing game will really be put to test.
Will also be good to see how Martinez deals with Welbeck aerially. If he gets through this witbout problems, I can't imagine his height should be an issue as there aren't many strikers more challenging than Welbz in that respect.- Status
