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.

Gutted, he's class.
Matuidi left PSG for Juve because Rabiot wanted to basically play at this position (left side CM whereas most think his best position is DM) and PSG banked on him.
Now he goes to Juve and Matuidi is there but they love him there....
What about Ramsey ? Pjanic ? Can ? Betancur ? Surely at least one of them will leave

Would have loved him at United. A classy CM, still young and on a free. Oh well...Yeah, they have many midfielders. Isnt Khedira still there as well?
I am actually very happy about him not coming here, we don’t need players that will rock the boat if things don’t go their way.
That’s the only reason to be happy about this though. He’s a very good player.
This was gone the moment we lost CL.
@kouroux says it's not true so I will cede that point to him. It should be pointed out though that description might have been rightly or wrongly used against our most famous French player before he came to England.
Exactly. Love it people when assume things and state as facts.
Brilliant bit of business by Juve. They are building quite a team.
I think Ramsey signed too soon, he should have tested the market.
Hope this signing keeps them away from Pogba hunt.
I think the wages he'll earn while playing for Juve, he couldn't believe his luck
It sure decreases the likelihood of it happening
Coman, Matuidi, Rabiot one way, Buffon, Alves the other way.
The PSG/Juve market.
The PSG/Juve market.
You are probably correct but with the change of manager and the way Juventus seems to be chasing CMs, I would be a little bit anxious.
Yeah. Kouroux might have a lot more inside than me. I only know that he didn’t play for PSG for half a year and that he refused to play for his country. Seems like more drama than the average player.
Maybe Matuidi will become a LB or something
He didn't refuse to play for his country, he was disappointed to not be selected for the WC and said that he wouldn't be a medical jocker. And he didn't play for half a season because Henrique who got fired was upset after Rabiot told him that he wouldn't extend his contract.
It's Conte, not Mourinho who's taken over Juve!
In Sarri's system Rabiot can play in the middle, the role is less rigid than Motta's.
Matuidi has only one year left and no talks of a renewal so i think him and also Khedira will leave.
Conte - Inter
Sarri - Juve
Bullet dodged.... just hope we avoid a panicy loan move for Bale as well
He was never going to pick us over Juve in our current state.No, it's not Conte
Haha, I need to eat before I drink...
Yeah , I mean if there was any chance
Sucks that so much talent is on the move, and going for free, just the summer when we're the least attractive proposition.
Imagine if players buy into Ole and get fit to press hard, we do wonders and get CL for next year with a team full of youngsters. If we somehow get a DoF/new owners, the young elite will be creaming their pants to join us.

Why would we do that?We've made zero indication that Bale is on our radar.Stop panicking.
Now there is a shock. Free and Juve 
From one farmers league to another.
I say lets buy Matuidi for little money, can we?
Juve's scouting system is an AI with the statement:
If contract years==0
Buy
If contract years==0
Buy
Another griping title race in Italy.
Khedira will leave. They were short on midfielders last season, had to play Cuadrado or Bernardeschi in midfield. Getting two new players and letting Khedira go is the right move, especially since Ramsey will most likely be out injured for half the season.
They have to be favourites for the champions league if the also get De Ligt.
You expected us to beat out Juventus to him? Madness. He was only ever going to be coming if he wanted to. Juventus is the more attractive option for him. Better chance to win trophies and while we may be able to offer more wages it wouldn't be that much more than what Juve could pay him so that advantage would be negligible.
