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.

Van Persie can't stop complimenting him 
Classy performance. He's a big game player for sure. What a player.
A cut above the rest.
He was a ghost for 85 minutes but came alive and was sensational from that point on.

MOTM for me, willed the team on late in the 2nd half and ET.
Responsible for the decisive action on a night where most of the XI was poor
The best skill based dribbler I have seen at Utd since peak Giggs
What a game. Really beginning to grab the games by the scruff of the neck. Unexpected that he would turn into this.
What a player.
RVP loves him.

Looks unstoppable.
Amazing consistency, long may it continue!
Should have scored. Incredible performance in the extra time.
He’s so bloody good but yet so frustrating at the same time. He should have had a hat trick tonight and people would be raving about him across Europe.
Awesome performance from 2nd half onwards for Martial

Really?
I thought it was pretty obvious he had it in his locker going by his debut season.
His dribbling with greenwoods finishing and you have the complete forward I think.
Ball is stuck to his feet. Mint.
Brilliant player when you give him any space. Only goal was missing.
He was amazing again. His performance deserved a goal or two. MOTM
POTY and MOTM for me but he really needs to cut AND finish with his left more, not the first game that it becomes clear. If he can master that he'll be one of the best around.
Exceptional player.
Has the ball on a string. It’s like he’s on rails when he gets going. Someone said it in the matchday thread: he just needs to add that final 5% to be world class. If he can just make that final decision at high speed; dink the keeper, round the keeper and he’ll be unplayable.
He never was really in the mood to score. He wanted to dribble past one defender, then another, and another. If he had beaten them all, he would have rounded off the goalkeeper. You think now he will score but he would then dribble past the goal post, dribble over the adverts and then past the ball boys and then out of the stadium.
He could have easily scored two gems today. Shoot FFS. Those runs deserved a goal.

From 45 min on it was the best version of Martial i have ever seen
Just get the ball to him, it was so frustrating to see for most part of the game we just won't pass to him and let him turn and run at them. It changed later in 2nd half and he was very good and changed the game, should have scored that though.
Wish he has got that goal. Was otherwise exceptional! Some of his dribbling was unplayable.

Ole needs to make his game easier for him by playing a 433 instead of a 4231 and Rashford and Greenwood on an equal line with him. He will then be able to be as creative and clinical with his ability to hold the ball and dribble.
I just dont see what the 4231 brings to our front line.

Definitely deserved one. Keeper had a worldie though.
Ridiculous player. Shades of R9 the way he was slaloming through their defence
For anyone watching the game in the UK, are you getting the feeling that the presenter doesnt want to talk about Martial? RVP has mentioned him a few times and he just keeps moving to the next topic.
Maybe its just me.

Good from him late into the game.
I dont want to be that guy but why cant he turn it on from the get go? He is clearly levels above in the team so why must he start of slow before going on a rampage? It seemed like it was greenwood that was carrying in the first half then martial in the second and extra time.

His dribbling is so good.
Took the piss with some of those runs 
Should have scored at least twice though

He’s our best player. Period.
RVP is infatuated. Several times they were talking about something unrelated and he brings up what a player Martial is.
I’m not as anti-Mourinho as most, because I believe he has been the most successful manager we’ve had post SAF, and played better football than Van Gaal and Moyes. But how he saw Martial that season and thought he was surplus to requirements is mind blowing.
People call Martial inconsistent, sulky, an enigma. It’s nonsense. He’s a consistently dangerous player, who causes havoc and moves defenders around by his movement, touch, and close dribbling. Build an attack around him and we might have a chance of getting back to being something really competitve.

His touch!
Martial looks a class above. Towards the end he was opening them up at will every time he took the ball on the run. Levels.
