Players like Ashley Young are similar to a face of the new average Manchester United of the past few years. How long will we persist with these kind of average players starting games week in week out?

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?

I wouldn't wish injury on a player, as that's not cool, and probably against the rules. I just hope he gets a really bad cold that lasts for ages, and he's ordered to stay away so it doesn't spread.
We looked better after he got sent off last week. He is garbage.

He’s just so poor at passing.
Not only is it incredible that he's still here, and not only is it incredible that he's still here as first choice right back, he's the bloody captain, too!
How did it come to this. He was barely good enough in the first place.

Garbage. God knows why Ole wanted him for another year.
Right mentality, just old and gets to the pointy end of the season and ultimately isn't good enough. I don't hate him, the club need to galvanize a player like this and put the tools around him to be managed out of the team appropriately. We've seemed to just let these players sit there and take up senior positions without ever being good enough. It's weird. But not the first time we've done it.
He was rubbish but people have to remember we're playing that way because we don't have an actual RW. The fault lies with the board and the management as much as it does Young, because frankly we all know he's not an attacker nowadays.
Oh, Ashley 
Why is our attack toothless? Cause Trashley cannot fecking cross
What is it with ex wingers being transformed in to RB for us and them losing the ability to cross. Had to double check it wasn’t Valencia in disguise.
Killed all good United's breaks down his side. Basically, had a stinker.
Well we shouldn't have to only rely on crosses tbf. But yes that is a part of why our attack is the pits
Disgusting performance. Never should play again after Wolves and Barcelona.
He went from being the worst player on the pitch by miles in the first half to just simply being the worst player on the pitch in the 2nd half.
That's about as positive as I can be about him.
He's never been good enough for Utd, he was a baffling signing even at the time. To think he's still here 8 years later leading us out as captain against Barcelona is just so depressing.

Should never start a game again in this club.
Poor Ashley needs Fellaini to aim for. Maybe he should feck off to China too.
We need a right back in summer that’s for sure. What worries me is he might start next season as back up left back. He should never be in our matchday squad.
Abdomination of a game. Absolutely attrocious.
Crazy this was what essentially decided the match.
I dont get how these former wingers (Young and Valencia) cant cross.
This was literally all you did for 10 years and now you cant?

If Ole has any sense a RB will be the first thing on his shopping list
For years, we joked about Valencia hitting defenders with every single cross. Tonight, Young was as bad as Valencia has ever been. Having him as our captain is disgraceful and must be completely demotivating.
His crossing was beyond dreadful, unfortunately. Far too many promising attacks ended with Young hurling the ball to the wrong place.
Only alternative was Dalot, and he did well down the left side.
72.7% pass accuracy
4 crosses (0 complete)
1 throw-in to a Barcelona player
1 shot from outside the box (mile wide)
1 foul
0 key passes
For a man who had the ball so much out wide we would have created about 5 chances with a decent player in the same position. It's almost like Barcelona's tactic was let him have the ball because he'll do feck ALL!!

Some slip Phil a fiver to 'Jones' him in training PLEASE
He did it for a couple of years max.
We can put a pole in his position and wont feel any difference, waste of space. Him being a captain is disrespect to the club that Manchester United is. Retire!!
Should give Darmian a chance ahead of him. Yeah I mean it. 
Will Darmian be any worse ?

Wow, I think some of the criticism of Young on tonight's performance is a little harsh. Yes he wasn't great in the final third but he drove the team forward and kept the tempo high which is why we managed to outplay Barca for parts of the game.
True 0/10 performance. Garbage. Redcafe should allow users to give a 0 rating for a player.
I have said it before and I will say it again; How the feck did he become a united player!!! He's fecking erediviesie at best.
Captain material
It seems we have the managers and the board who share the same opinion. Explains why we constantly stick with shite players and reward them with new contracts.
Darmian is playing next game anyway, Both him and Shaw are suspended.Should give Darmian a chance ahead of him. Yeah I mean it.
Will Darmian be any worse ?
But I can see why, I honestly think we would have been bossed for 90mins tonight if we didn't have someone like Young motivating the team and upping the pace.
Apparently none of his 11 attempted crosses were accurate today.
Can't say I'm dreading this all honestly.
He is nowhere near the level of champions league football. He sticks out like a sore thumb even along side the likes of McTomminay.
