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's one of our most dependable players and gets way too much stick on here. Nice to see him closer to the goal, it's incomprehensible why he's only been a full-back this season having been our best outfield player playing as a LW from February onwards last season.
Brilliant
having a great game today
Who's that right winger terrorising Swansea?
Should obviously be playing RW/LW as first choice. Unlucky to lose his place to Memphis at the start of the season.
I've no idea what position he's supposed to be playing but he's been brilliant
Playing brilliant, hit by injury, story of the season
He was very good. Hope his injury isn't too serious.
Martial beating Young to MOTM by double is an outrage! I know we all love Martial and assisting the winner probably puts him to the forefront of most people's memory, but Young was clearly the MOTM today.
Great to have another outlet on the right wing, just our luck for him to get injured.
Very good game by him. If he wasn't calling for fouls so easily at times and didn't sometimes take forever to throw the ball in, I would have no problems with him.
MOTM slightly ahead of Martial
Very good performance, a constant threat down the right and his crossing was better than usual, hopefully it was just cramping that saw him come off.
Martial had a goal and an assist. He gets it because without him, we wouldn't have scored a goal today. The reason we won the match was him, not Young, who played really well, but wasn't the decisive factor.
It's no coincidence that two of our best players are people who can beat players.
Imagine if we had a proper fast wide attacker and him on the same side.
MOTM for sure.
MOTM for sure.
I agree. Young played well throughout the match (his injury slowed him down for five minutes before being subbed) where as Martial was poor in the 1st half before making up for it in the 2nd.
For a player (Young) often bemoaned for his crossing he delivered a series of dangerous ones today.
Hope the injury is not too serious as he brought a dimension/threat to our game today that we rarely see.
His crosses were much better. I don't know if it's because Rooney and Martial were more mobile inside the box or his aim was better.
Give credit to the player, he gave it his all, some of the crosses we just asking to be placed in the back of the net. Hope that the knock isn't too serious.
Ok so admittedly I went a little over the top - Martial deserves it on paper, but Young played better. He could have had 3 or 4 assists if Rooney was in finishing form and our attacking players go in the box for the great balls he kept swinging in.
Just play him on the wing, like last season, and let Darmian get settled at RB. That would be our most potent attack at the moment (ie. Martial - Rooney - Young, with either Mata/Herrera behind, and Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin behind that.) Young is by no means the long-term solution, but he's a very good option for now.
He just didn't give up in the first half as one of our few players. Really good today hopefully he keeps that kind of form, as he is usually too inconsistent
He plays with real courage and intent. It's a shame that supposedly more talented players don't show the same willingness for the team.
Why is he banned from playing as a winger? He completely owned the right side on his own.
Mata should be dropped and we should play Young on the RW. But I guess we don't have enough fit defenders to do that.

He was playing as a winger. In possession United basically played 3-6-1. Even when Swansea had a throw-in in the final third on the opposite side he was high up the pitch. He definitely wasn't playing as a full back today. The tactics were why he had so much space. Herrera and Mata were constantly moving which always resulted in Young having a landing strip on the right.
Good game from him today.
Think that was his best display of crossing he's had since he played for us. If only we could cross dangerously with regularity like that, it would be great.
As usual though he worked his socks off today, I hope he was just being rested when he came off.

Shame he went off, our best player today
Puts in some good crosses, but it defo helped we had more than one in the box at times when he put the crosses in. I would like to see him as part of our front three again (on the right, with martial left, and striker (well rooney)).
Would be fun to see. Hope his injury isnt serious and he plays next game.

Love his positivity.
Certainly doesn't seem to want to get bogged down in the possession game.
Picks the ball up, runs at people and puts in crosses. Today the crosses were of very high quality. I'm at a loss why he can't produce like that more consistently. Better movement today perhaps?

Hoping the injury isn't more than a niggle
Fantastic today and he and Martial gave them nightmares
Fantastic today and he and Martial gave them nightmares
Today he provided the kind of threat that he was bought for. I was always a big fan of Young at Watford and Villa and remember being really pleased when we signed him. After a promising, if not ground breaking first season, he went pretty woeful for a long time and I, like many others on here, couldn't see a way back for him at United.
So I'm really pleased to see his resurgence as a hard working and dangerous player. His turnaround is one of the few bright influences of LVG's tenure. Hopefully he can maintain it

If he could cross consistently, actually pick men out more instead of just hitting into areas, he'd be a very good player as he gets into good positions frequently. He did well today, hopefully can contribute decisive moments more often.
Went from being a squad player at best to our biggest threat attacking in wide positions. As much as I'd like to say well done Ash I think a massive part is how much our quality or lack of it from our other wide players. I mean 4-5 years of Valencia mark II and Young then Mata and Depay is just abysmal!
I have to confess that really pisses me off as well. He takes so long, pointing with his eyes to teammates how and when and where he is about to throw the ball in from a throw in, makes it so comples like he is plotting a scheme to take over the world. 
I criticised him after the Chelsea game, but he was very impressive, today. Think he realised the benefits of crossing to the man, as opposed to the area.

Good, sounds like his injury isn't serious then.
Absolutely awesome. Love the lad.
Martial - Herrera - Young
Mata & Depay should be dropped.
