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.

I got a quote notification for this for some reason
Pretty straightforward message really.
God: It's obviously a bible verse.
Time: On the clock in the picture, it's 1:34.
The second guy in the picture is the only one unnamed, so that must mean we're using the second gospel for this one - the Gospel of Mark.
Mark 1:34: And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
Now, Antony is clearly the diver, and of course we're the devils. We got sick of him and were cast out. It's off.

We really shouldn't waste time on this. Offer what we think is the maximum we can go and move on if Ajax reject it
The writing on the wall, innit?Pretty straightforward message really.

Why we didn't move for him and Martinez on day one of the window, I'll never know.
Can we do one transfer quickly, ffs? If their value and our value of the player is different 30 mill then don't even start with it and move to other target.
For that you need a plan and competent people who do transfers. We lack both
Is this one over as well? Was hoping for some good news today.
We did Malacia quickly

Says this after his show with Romano
That was due to him nearly joining another club… we had no other choice.
So either not happening or we are going to seriously overpay for him. Think it is time to move on from Ajax/Dutch targets
Not to be a party pooper but if he comes in where does he play?
Sancho has been on the RW for preseason and done very well.
Surely can't be spending a fortune for Antony to be a rotation option?

Because other club did negotiations for us
We have Murtough who is even less competent than Ed
He'll play on the right as expected. Sancho can play there too, but also just as effective, if not arguably better on the left. We don't know how effective Rashford will be this season too. We're an injury to either one of them away from playing Elanga on the wing.
With the amount of games we're expected to have this coming season, all of them will get plenty of minutes.
Ah, ok. More baseless slander. Gotcha.Because other club did negotiations for us

Time to go all in. €55M + €5M + Elanga/Amad/Laird. I think Ajax will accept something like this. And we get a left-footed RW. About time. Sancho - Martial - Antony could be devastating, if we sort our midfield. And if Martial decides to actually play, of course. But we can always buy a world class CF next summer.
We have only 3 senior players for 3 positions, we need lot of attackers (assuming Ronaldo is leaving).
Baseless? Yeah, we are doing great job so far. You are right
The fake wannabe ITK strikes again
I don’t want Sancho moved from the right, so unsure how to feel about this.
Neither do i tbh. But this is his season and he will be great on both sides.
Wasn't there an analysis that he does just as well on either side?
Signed 3 first team players and agreed a fee for our primary target. Not doing bad.
Sancho can play both sides, it's not a problem.
| Sancho - goals on left wing v right wing | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starting position | Minutes | Goals | Minutes per goal | xG per 90 minutes |
| Right wing | 5,265 | 24 | 219 | 0.26 |
| Left wing | 3,099 | 20 | 155 | 0.43 |
Yeah, classic case of glass half empty/full. I respect your optimism.
But in my view; we needed busy and quick summer to help a new manager to prepare a team for a season which starts with tough fixtures in first month.
Only one new player (backup) of 3 played in pre season. 12 days before first game we have only 3 attackers (4 if you count Elanga as serious option). Primary target, even if he will be signed, will not be ready for our first few games. We sold one player and we are still stuck with some players who will not play at all.
That is not good summer business (for club in our situation).
I understand that, but still think it's a reach to call Murtough less competent than Woodward was.
The big one is clearly FDJ and is being hampered due to issues outside of our control. We've also cleared out some rotten apples with their contracts expiring, so I think we're looking much healthier.
Anyway, we've digressed and taken it off topic!
This feels like another one of them things where the club is going to waste the entire window on and surprisingly get no where. I love that they never learn their lesson with this stuff. I hope I'm proven wrong, but it's kinda hard to have faith in United to do the sensible thing in the transfer market anymore.
Didn't realize he was that much more productive on the left! That includes his United minutes and Dortmund?
Just Dortmund. It is because he's right footed. On the right he has more assists I believe, and is generally more creative.
Goalscoring threat on the left, creative playmaker in the buildup phase on the right. Get you a man that can do both
Sounds about right… sancho, martial and Antony has a front 3 be insane. Rashford to come on late in games when opposition defences are tired.
Excited to see him get to his best with us this season. Having another creative player like Antony is only going to be a good thing for the team and it's quite reassuring to see Sancho can play either side
Fake wannabe ITK? What are you on about? He's not evening claiming anything crazy, and then giving his opinion.
Don't see this one happening. How many players have Ajax lost at this stage? 80m is too much for Antony - good player as he is. There are other more affordable options out there.
If Ronnie goes surely United will get him
