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.
Yes indeed
Useless player.
tbh he is not awful.
just not all that great either.
seems a lazy player. or has become one.

Obviously cursed. Next team he's joining will get 6:0 hammering.
The 0x-Files.

Legendary debut that's for sure. I didn't even realize he was playing in the second half.
feck sake city . You had to ruin the 0-4 meme
Someone will still force it in the morning though

Lost 4:0 changed team lost 5:0, doesnt want to play wide, he gets on and plays wide
I think it's no coincidence Arsenal have started winning again.
Seems like he is just sticking up for Wenger.
Good time to bump the thread? 
Bench's right winger 
The most bizarre waste of 40m ever in English football
Can't help but feel his best position would have been a wing back. He isn't productive enough to play in an attacking position and I won't even get in details about how poor he is in CM.
Under Conte I feel he would have grown into a very good player, his speed and dribbling would have been devastating from deep and he wouldn't have been required to put up decent numbers in assists and goals. You saw how well Moses did last season, with the right coaching Ox could have been even better
He could have cemented a first team spot in a team that regularly challenges for major honors each season but instead he's joined a team that win's even less than Arsenal

What's his supposed best position ? What's the position he wants to play ? At the moment he seems so lost, is he a winger ? A wingback ? A CM ?
£40m
Dog shit footballer.
I believe he sees himself as a central midfielder. An attacking central midfielder.
He hasn't got the brain to play at such a position. Running fast isn't the best tool when you're a CM.
The only place in which he wasn't shit at Arsenal was at wingback and that was mainly because there he has more space to run like a headless chicken.
It was interesting when Arsenal didn't have the likes of Ozil, Sanchez, & Oxlade Chamberlain starting or playing they were far more organised & effective, even though the players that played may have been inferior. I think Arsenal will find that this was a good deal for them selling him.
What the hell is the point of him?
Absolutely useless player.
40m!
Absolutely useless player.
40m!
You won't get an argument from me. I find his transfer to Liverpool absolutely baffling.
The whole thing is hilarious, Liverpool needed defenders big time and they sign a player like Chamberlain. Should really have sold Coutinho and invested in weak areas but that is not enough outside the box thinking for Klopp.
£40m? The same price we paid for Matic?
Yeah, alright. Seems legit.
Yeah, alright. Seems legit.
I thought he looked decent in the centre for Arsenal at the end of last season. But I agree with @CechMate1 - think as a RWB he would have thrived under Conte.
But that said, hes a Liverpool fan right so I understand why he went there. Just bizarre that Liverpool spent 40m on him and didnt have a planB for VVD and get an actual defender / leader in for the back.

And Andy Carroll cost £5 mil less, dippers love very average English players.
Trash like most English pace merchants on the wings who get easily overhyped.
Agreed! Baffling that we spend that much on a 'luxury' position. Klopp should be help responsible for this. I'm reading some forums and they still blame the owners. I don't get the blind Faith in Klopp. Yes he's made our attacking better, but we some dross in the back.
We had 5 windows to address the same shit again and again, but what do we do? Absolutely nothing.
I stand corrected; if he carries on like that he'll be lucky to be in the squad.
Lost
Confused.
Lacking in confidence

Shaping quickly to be the worst signing of summer 2017.
Not even a Carling cup player. Who'd have known? Well, Thierry Henry for a start.He is so English isn't he? And that's not a complement by any stretch of the imagination!What a waste of money for essentially a Carling/FA Cup player.
People on here wanted us to go for him too.
Pointless signing, probably could have got a pretty good CB for that money and they'd be in much better shape.
Henry is absolutely right, there's nothing he does particularly well. He's also becoming one of those players who've developing a highlight reel of particularly awful moments where his passing or shooting is hilariously wayward (such as tonight, for example).

In his old thread so many were heaping praise on him, calling him massively underrated and a useful player. He's shite
£75 million got Liverpool Andy Carroll and this chump.
Tbf I think your attack is as good as it is specifically for the reason that no one in your squad seems to give a shit about defending.
Klopp seems to really be feeling the pressure. He's a good manager but I don't think he's as good as some others in the league.
