In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Would be perfect. Make it happen Ed.
He wouldn't really come if we don't have CL football, would he?
We should make him our top priority this summer, excellent player.
How reliable are El Confidencial?
Winning it once(this year) could make him more ambitious.
Please be true.
Yes please.
Would be the perfect signing and a great match for our club.
This thread is where I'm going to camp in the summer
Martial needs to put in some good words about us, next month.

God, I'd fecking love him at United. Really can't see it happening mind.
Martial - Rashford - Griezemann .
Probably won't happen though.

.Mourinho could attract him and should make him the number 1 target. Some players are worth overpaying for.
I'm not quite sure how he fits in a 4231/433 but feck it, yes please. The best player we can realistically sign this summer by some distance.
If we sign him, we'd better play him up front and not as a wide player. You don't spend a huge amount of money on a player and not play them in their best position. Rashford can get plenty of games as the back up.
Then we play a system that he would fit in.
Yeah, how reliable?
I wish we'd shelled out for Griezmann following the World Cup in Brazil, when he was still at Real Sociedad. Looks borderline impossible now.
About the millionth time I've seen someone put him down as a RW. He's a forward who likes to play centrally. Either play him as a false 9 or a second striker. I prefer the latter. The Rooney role, basically.Martial - Rashford - Griezemann

Literally. Left, right and center.
Agreed, I never quite understand how a player has such a good season at Sociedad and has obvious quality even René Meulensteen noted his quality... and still there's nothing done
I'd prefer Kane because he's English and likely to stay, where as I could see Griezmann using us as a stepping stone to Barcelona.
But this is exactly the calibre of signing we need. Perfect age.

Yeah, I'm all aboard this muppet train if that wasn't clear. Was just wondering how he fits in what is likely to be our preferred system. I think we'd need a hard working, yet somewhat creative wide midfielder rather than a RWF on the right to provide the right balance to the team.
Because he wanted to stay in Spain, like Vietto he ignored everything else.
He's a HUGE United fan. This has been well established for years. Ryan Giggs was his favorite player growing up. Even his brother is a hardcore United supporter, just recently posting GGMU on his twitter
Does he though? I mean I'm sure he can play anywhere across the AM area, but if we're signing one of the best players in the world for a shitload of money, we should have an idea of how we're going to use him, and ideally that would be by playing him in his strongest position. Like we should have done with di Maria.
He's much better through the middle, be it as the striker or as the #10. It would be a monumental waste if we were to buy him only to deploy him out wide.
He can and he is as good on the left and right, his game will be different though. With France, Griezmann doesn't play upfront and he is as impressive as he is with Atletico if not more, currently he is the world class poacher that you see with Atletico but he is also a much better version of the player that he was with Real Sociedad, in all honesty he is unreal.
Edit: And he doesn't really play through the middle for Atletico, he is completely free to roam everywhere he wants, that's why Torres is crucial.
Apparently Griezman is a United fan. But yeah, he could still use us as a stepping stone tbf.
We could obviously be greedy and get both Kane and Griezzman
*dream over*
Thanks. You'll know better than me, I'm just going by a handful of games really and what I've read (that he really exploded once he was moved central). If you're right, I'd like to see us play 433 with him as RWF and a Koke-type CM signed to be able to provide width/defensive balance when he drifts central. A 4231 with Martial, Griezmann, a RWF and a striker seems like it would leave us pretty unbalanced/exposed.
This. @carvajal
If Rashford kicks on, that's the best forward line in the prem.Martial - Rashford - Griezemann

He can't see the tag when you've edited it in.
Ah ok. @carvajal

Seems like he still scores frequently as a L/RWF
How many times have Barcelona signed players from us?
The only ones I can think of are Mark Hughes and Pique.
Kane and Griezmann don't even play even play in the same position.
Griezmann defends really well, if he was to play wide there would be no problem, his fullback would be supported.
Edit: If I had to describe Griezmann I would say that he is an elegant version of Muller.
Sign them both!
