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?

He will be a world beater next season. Incredible signing.
Makes our attack more threatening.

Forget Rooney, even Ronaldo wasn't this good at 19.
A joy to watch. Magical player.
If he stays with us for his peak career there will be statue of him outside the stadium
Martial is going in dry. Serving up the BBC. He's in the mood.
Hold-up and strength on the ball still needs a bit of work. But another amazing half for a 19-year-old; he does not seem fazed, is so quick and already really thinks like a striker. Was unlucky to be given offside the first time, and he was clean through too.
Is it too early to say he could well become the worlds best?
He absolutely shat on Rodriguez before he passed it to Rooney.
He's stupidly good.
No, it's too late.
It's actually comical how good he is, just casually shitting on a Champions League team at 19 years old.
Fantastic player.
Fantastic player.
It's crazy how much attention he already receives from the opposition. I'm currently watching the game on German TV and the commentator has been shitting himself whenever Martial has been in a 1-on-1 situation.
Quick summary of your thoughts on his game in general?
That footwork before he shot with his left foot was great to see, he's got that quick thinking X-factor.
I suppose he is there already.
Way too early.
There's no way a 19 year old with minimal experience should be this good.
I was actually laughing my arse off when he was dancing through their defenders at will. It's fecking ludicrous. Rodriguez is a damn good full back too 
He's quality.
We have signed a superman. He can do anything! Shame Rooney didn't finish that chance...
True but I'd say Rooney was better (aka more consistent) at that age than Ronaldo
The second Memphis and Rooney ups their game, then our attack with him and Mata can be frightening.
Everytime he touches the ball, I think United will score. That kinda sums it up.
He's looking like the best young outfield player we've signed since Ronaldo for sure.
Not going to get any more ahead of myself yet even though it's tempting.
Edit: maybe since Smalling actually...

I don't have much hope left for Rooney. That was a bad miss today. Form is temporary and class is permanent and all that but...he has gone to shit.
At times the ball sticks to his feet like a certain player I dare not name. Joy to watch.
Sorry but that comment isn't hyperbolic enough to do him justice.
Best u21 player in the world by a distance. He looks the finished article already. We just need to get the ball to him more as he makes something happen every time he touches it. Ridiculous how good he is.
This.
Don't even go there.
The last player I can think who seemed to be so complete at 19 is Brazilian Ronaldo.
My worry is he's somehow lying about his age like Obafemi Martins, it's the only explanation.
Well he is bollocks in the air...
The impotency of this side when you can't get your best attacking player the ball more than 4 times in an entire half...
Hasn't scored in 2 games. Drop him.
Keeps impressing even though not scoring. Should have got an assist if Rooney didn't feck up.
Shame we ended up so defensive and couldn't get him on the ball more tonight, he is devastating.
He nearly always does something good when he has the ball. Can't say the same about ROONAY ROONAY!
The kid is the absolute business and he's doing it alone for the most part with Memphis fading in and out of games and Rooney fading in and out of consciousness.
