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.
Barcelona's famous la masia hasn't really produced much recently. Might be overdue a good one.
Looked amazing when he came on last week.
Hope he's the new bojan 
Him and Moriba are the two greatest talent from La Masia today.
Fati is so fast and his dribling is very good. Not to mention his intelligence for such a young player.
Reminds me of Dembele in stature, but Fati has better touch on the ball, understands the passing concepts and had better decision making. Also Fati can play as both forward and striker.
Dembele is already behind Messi, Suarez, Griezmann, and if Neymar comes next season with Fati also getting time on the pitch.. well then Dembele won’t have a future at Barca.

Great story 
But now he must work even harder to stay on that level.

Big up Fati - fati ready.
Doesn't need to bulk up.
"Ansu Fati (16 years and 318 days) is the youngest player to score and assist in the same game, in the entire history of La Liga."
Which national teams can he play for?
Is he one of the kids which prompted the transfer ban?
He will play for Spain.
Too young, needs to bulk up, needs protecting etc etc... according to general caf consensus
Is this a sure thing already? Could play for Portugal too, right?
Gonna fun to watch both when Messi comes back.
Apparently his preference is Spain.
"He'll get his minutes later this season"
Who's Moriba and what type of player is he?
This, with his movement he'll love playing with Messi. Going to score a fair few this season.
Fati got a goal and assist but so did De Jong. Barca have their talents secured
He looks wicked, a real joy to watch this first half. Very positive when on the ball, he's beat players for fun and shown an awareness to try to find his team mates as opposed to going for glory. I like his movement, I noticed him hunting in the box a couple of times too.
That's one hell of a way to start the first 10 minutes of a game as a 16 year old
Lost the ball 17 times in the first half
Very Dembele-esque stats but since his debut, he's also looked a lot more assured on the ball and calmer in the box. The hype around him needs to be controlled but he's looked seriously good so far.
Alena?
Needs more games and has been dropped since opening day. He'll find it tough to get games.
"It would be too much pressure to start a youngster at United"
"It would mentally destroy a kid starting for us, best bring him in slowly via the Europa League"
"Scholes and Beckham were 19/20 before they got games"
Will be 29 in 13 years. Do not want.
I doubt they went into the league planning to start this lad. They were in for Neymar, werent they? They also have a few injuries.
The lads performances will now make it hard for the manager to leave him out of his plans, however.
Still a pretty good talent.
I read that Spain NT is trying to lure him away from Guinea Bissau. Hopefully this shit comes to an end.
Bojan, Tello and many more. Loads of players have come through there ranks but have come undone to the pressure. Fati could be the same or be immense. The next Messi? Calm down.
Remember that u15 indoor youth tournament MTU hallencup? Look at the past best player award winners since the competition has gotten bigger.

16 and scoring at Camp Nou? I've wasted my life.
Haha Fati been scoring for fun at Barca but our Ole won't give Gomes a chance and kept playing Pereira,Lingard. I hope Gomes leaves for Barca it's better for him than staying at this club imo. And we'll buy back him for 150M as you know our beloved woodward style. 
I'm very happy for him
But he really hard work starts for him now.

Guinea-Bissau, Spain and possible Portugal are his options.
It was pretty sure that Spain will call him up for the U17 World Cup in Brazil next month but of course that is now unlikely.
That’s quite an interesting list, I’ve heard good things about Naci Unuvar.
Don't think he would leave Barca to come to us, mate.
Only Pedro made it.
Bojan-Jeffren-Cuenca-Deulofeu, all promissing but never truly made it.
We'll see if he's not playing for Leipzig in a couple of years.
