simply because United get viewers, sell papers and get clicks- it's a financial decision

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.
FA going to hunt Jose but act like this didn't happen?
That's not how the (stupid) rule works. If the ref saw Jose and decided not to do anything, then that's the bottom line. If the ref didn't see Jose, then it's up to the FA.
Not sure how this hasn't been reviewed.
They can't sink low enough.
Undergoes knee surgery
Hahaha yeah probably
Apparently out until January. Funny how karma works sometimes. If he had got his punishment for the Lamela incident he would have missed three games. Now he's probably missing a dozen games. Remember Scrappy Doo should have been sent off vs us once and later in the same game he picked up an injury that ruled him out for months.
Why is he like this? Lol
Anyone think that him being heavy is what is going to affect his knee? It was a pretty bad injury in the first place. He must put a lot of pressure on it with the way he plays.
Baldy going to blame this one on international football then?
Why would he when this decision was clearly made in-house prior to the break?
Why does he blame KDB's injuries on international football when KDB was playing like a man possessed for City last season, playing games where he ran the most distance of any player whilst making the most high intensity sprints?
I think you're letting your clear vendetta against Guardiola cloud your memory.
He said his initial knee injury could have come from a lack of rest. He isn't "blaming" anything. He's long said that the authorities are diluting the quality and damaging the players by not giving them a lot of time off.
Surely you can see that that is true despite your allegiance to United?
Obviously no good doctors in England. He must be brilliant to be fair, Pep's players see him for everything from a broken leg to a tickle in the throat.
So dramatic.

City has to consider getting a new left back.
Plays like 15 games in 2 seasons and some consider him the best LB in the league.
Offensively he might just be.
Marcus Alonso has got the 1st place by a country mile when it comes to attacking leftbacks in the PL. Mendy is just an attacking fullback while Alonso could be a genuine attacker similar to Jordi Alba or Marcelo that have a good goal threat.
They have Pep, they have Delph, they have Zinchenko. They will be fine.
All the City fans I know think he’s pure garbage.
he's been a huge disappointment for me, think the only game I've been impressed was against Liverpool this season but I'm not sure how fit he's been when he's played
Cugat is super effective.
Cugat is the man.
On his form, he's one of the best attacking fullbacks in the world, when he is playing, City looks more threatening and smash team by 6+. The only fullback who can make a huge difference to the team is Mendy, Cancelo and Ghoulam.
Mendy is a big bonus for them, they can push for title hard, having a lot of creativity all over team and score from anywhere, unlike Liverpool that is over-dependent on brilliance from upfront.

I think Robertson has been better than Alonso this season.
Agreed. Alonso hasn’t been as good this year compared to being a wingback under conte. He’s also much worse defensively.
Robertson has been the best all season.
I actually think Alonso has been pretty poor this season, excluding the first few games.
I wonder how Guardiola will fit in Mendy with Sane, wasn't that a problem earlier in the season?
Got Guardiola swearing live on Sky when he was told Mendy had tagged himself in Hong Kong without permission, though it turned out Mendy was just joking. I think patience must be wearing a bit thin with him

Ban incoming for St Pep? FA shouldn't need to hire lip readers for that.

Weirdo.
Why do you call him a weirdo?
Who's going to be their start LB next season? Haven't they bought a new one?
I think it will be Zichenko, unless they buy someone.
Mendy is still injured?
