In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Yes but my worry is he thinks he is so good he ends up in midfield sometimes. He often comes very far out of his area. Makes me nervous.
Yeah either are massive upgrades
Technically speaking if you do get him we will still be hearing that out of the Shed End.
Yes please. Just hook it into my veins!
Very good point and don't ask why on earth we are happy to fund your Caicedo deal
Are there any links?

If his performances were poor after the ban - do you think he was taking performance enhancing drugs and is still shit without it at Inter?
I like Onana - but I do wonder if everybody saw his one performance vs Man City and got super excited by it.

I think Onana's name came up continually when replacements were mentioned well before any Final. However we don't need to worry he isn't coming here.
This better come to fruition or I'm going on hunger strike.
Do it. More important than Mount.
Watching him in the CL Final gave me Barthez flashbacks.
Exactly, his performance in the CL Final was exceptional. His footwork was very good and it didn't feel like there was any tension on him at any pressing point by City.
Not happy with the goalkeeper reports that keep referencing Dave’s contract.
Indeed. I do wonder though if it still isn't signed off a big contract offer from Saudi may influence DDG and leave it open for us?
He was good, but I think he let the striker get too close to him a few times. He seems to enjoy playing with fire back there, he definitely reminds me of Barthez in that sense.
I'd rather have an over-confident, cocky goalkeeper than the timid version of De Gea we currently see.
Would you have preferred Barthez to De Gea? I don't know Onana is all that personally. Mainly because I've not really watched him!
Definitely not. Not sure how that even is a question though. One thing is clear, that we need a change in the GK department. I haven't seen too much of Onana myself, but the limited I've seen has been quite impressive. Unfortunately, it doesn't take much for a GK to be better than De Gea these days, particularly in terms of aerial dominance and being good with their feet.Would you have preferred Barthez to De Gea?

Yeah that's what the eye test tells me too, but their numbers arent that different. In a lot of other GK metrics Costa comes out on top too.

Agreed but dont think a comparison to Barthez is a positive thing. Maybe meant more like a ticking bomb?
Is he your prefered option?
Spot on. I've been reticent in criticising DDG for a long time because he saved us so many times but it's clear to see he's bang average now. For as many world class saves he makes, he makes as many howlers. We were knocked out by Sevilla largely due to his error.
We stick with De Gea over signing a starter then absolutely deserve all we get
I'm absolutely 100% that what happened with his form after the ban was mentality/motivation issues. Which in itself could be a problem as well ofcourse. Lets not forget, the guy is a strange character, he got send home from the WC as well. However, that strong and stubborn personality also helps him in goal and makes him the GK that he is. For me he is an absolute no brainer for Utd, he would improve you so much.
Now the real question for me is, does he have any beef with EtH.
Then I hope he’s the one we get
Great to see Whitwell say we are weighing him up. Not great that we still are trying to extend de Gea and it very much feels like an either or scenario. Just sign the guy and let de Gea go cleanly. What is wrong with us ffs.
Yeah we are too sentimental not ruthless
Know he's good with distribution, but how is his shot-stopping?
Probably not as good as De Gea but don't matter

Would be a treat having a keeper with command of his area again after a decade+...
Yeah really would
Looks completely two-footed
He'd be great but didn't his relationship with Erik sour?

It was his relationship with Ajax that soured after his dodgy ban, not the manager
Yep, I said this before. At this late stage we shouldn’t be waiting on De Gea’s decision and should be proactive.
That being said Man City are in a similar contract position with Gundogan, but it’s far more understandable that they want him to stay and are willing to wait for it.
DDG has been average in all departments for some time. If we are talking about that Godily mode David that existed some years back, yes.
I agree.
We always seem desperate to keep almost every player for some reason. Book value? Don't know. But it certainly doesn't feel like some of the contract extensions we've made over the years were done with the best interests of the team in mind
Wouldn't mind if we extended contracts and then sold the players on. But we end up with bloated squads of overpaid dross, only to be forced to loan them out or see them eventually leave for nothing anyway. Can't really work out the thinking behind it
Much more important to get this done than Kim's minge or Ma$e.
