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.
He’s 19 years old.
From what I have seen they talk up this behavior from Bellingham. And I am guessing this behavior will get worse when he's getting frustrated more often while playing better opposition.
But one of the things he gets a lot of praise for is his maturity. So 19 year old can be used to praise the behavior when convenient, 19 years old can be used to scold the behavior when convenient.
If he's playing for Liverpool, that's passion, if he's playing for United, it's petulance.
Plus, did he actually do anything in the video?
Having handbags with Cucarella which all looks 50/50 anyway and then pushed a camera out of his face after a loss… so what?
I say this with every expectation he’ll be wearing a Liverpool shirt next season.
Not really. He’s praised for the mature way he plays the game. If he reverts to a teenager after the final whistle that doesn’t make his in game maturity any less impressive.
I didn't watch the vid but he's well known for his moan-y behavior, against his teammates as well, in Germany. Even though he's "only" 19yo he defo should work on that side of him.
He's going to be a force for Liverpool and under Klopp.
My post wasn't limited to the handbags after the game, in general he is a moany player who complains at officials and teammates.
Not sure if you watched the game but he was awful and seemed more interested in picking fights at the end of the game than helping his team win. Git into it with Chilwell a bit and could have seen red for a bad tackle on Reece James.
19 year olds can be petulant but I've watched a lot of football and can't think of many who have whined and moaned as much as Bellingham.
Rooney was equally bad in that sense when he was young. He'd be at the ref constantly. 
First, Bellingham is nowhere near quality Fernandes have. He is still a young boy trying to find his way. Overrated by miles and that is not good for his development. That puts pressure on him. Players thinking they are better than they actually are don’t go far.
Second, he is not going to get same criticism because of nationality.
Then he’d channel that rage to smash a thunder bastard of a volley into top bins, mid sentence (against Newcastle).Rooney was equally bad in that sense when he was young. He'd be at the ref constantly.
First of all, I am big fan of his, I don't want to get into arguments that suggest otherwise. But often his maturity off the pitch is praised as one of his better attributes, I see it all the time.
Surely Rice is going to be available on the cheap if West Ham go down?
I can’t see West Ham demanding a massive fee if they go down as there’s no way Rice will be sticking around to play in the Championship.

Another overrated English player. So is Bellingham.
True but there is a huge difference between rice and Bellingham.
He’s what we need for £50m.
