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.

Haha exactly.
It’s surely bad practice dragging a transfer out so much because with the players name in the press so much it adds pressure on the player to perform straight away.
I hope we get it done but yet again it’s been dragged out and not enough has been done so far in the window with a few days to go.
Every transfer is different, plus Leicester didn't need the money not comparable at all. (Simon Stone tell you Leicester wanted £90m by any chance?)
Do we need to get Dion Dublin in? #homesunderthehammer
I don't hate Ed, i have defended him plenty of times. It's just that you can't look beyond tier 1, tier 5 thing.
Anyways there is nothing much to add. You can believe all the tier 1 articles.
On which day did God create Tier 1? Was it on the 1st day?
You are missing the point.
Why bring up tier 1 and tier 5 excuses when the main issue itself is not about tier but the fact that sportwitness used a September quote to make ”indication” that Sporting haven’t change the price now. Two different timeline and yet you can’t see it. You don’t need tier level to even tell you which one lacks information.
World class quality content there.
Hopefully bumped to tier 1 now
‘I’m just telling you that Sporting can do the same strategy which is commonly been used times after times by many clubs, doesn‘t make Sporting to be a different club.
As long as it doesn’t use an outdated source to make things up.
Still missing the point. No wonder SW are tier 5.
Yeah whatever mate.
This "tier" shit needs to stay on Reddit with their "ITK's" that spout bollocks.
If we aren't genuinely interested, fair enough. If another club ends up signing him on deadline day for less than we're reportedly quoted, Sporting can feck off. I just think there is too much pushing on their part for this to not be done already if we're truly interested. We'll know soon enough.
I think we were linked with Mane and VVD if memory serves me well. Mane was deemed not good enough for the majority of the Caf. I recall most wanting VVD but LVG was not convinced or he was and Ed didn't want to pay the asking price. Or, he didn't want to come to United at all which I can completely understand.
So it is similar to Bruno where Ole is not convinced?
Also, VVD was never happening because Liverpool tapped up the player well in advance, why would he switch mind for a club that shows last minute interest.
It just shows how we do transfers is completely flawed.
I think I've moved beyond the anger and frustration stage with our transfers and right now just in an amused state. Will surely follow this thread regularly till 31st but would not be the least bit surprised if we fail to make a single transfer.
This has dragged so long that even if the club were to settle the deal, the fan base have been left utterly disgusted by the board and their incompetence.

It could be. Given our 3 signings under Ole and reports of the types of players he's interest in bringing to United, I'm not so sure Bruno fits that mold. He also seems to be a bit of a head case with his temper. That may well have put Ole off as well. We can speculate all day long as to why we will or will not sign Bruno and only the parties involved will know the true answer. All I'm saying is given the history of the Portugal press with Gaitan and others, I'm not getting hooked on this transfer Saga until it's on the @ManUtd twitter account.
*u/xsimon entered the chat*
I agree about the transfer, I have seen to many rumours and all over the years that have not come to any end, so until It is confirmed, I do not believe anything on Twitter.
I understand about the type of reports Ole wants however; that means we limit ourselves to certain players.
According to one website, he has had a total of two red cards in his career. I'm guessing you just watched a video of Bruno being upset over a performance/result and that translates to having first, a temper and secondly, not being able to control that temper. There is a major difference between showing a bit of passion and having some attitude issue.

You're boring me to tiers.
Maybe the club has told Ole if we get you Bruno then there will be no Madison or Grealish or Sancho. So much for a big club.
If I am Woody I'd brief the media the same to strengthen my negotiating position. Having journalists say we are happy to end with nothing might make Sporting cave and just take the tabled offer.
I still reckon Bruno is ours come deadline day.
Very strange speculation. Rooney also had 'a bit of a temper', and to be honest I think it's what we're missing post Fergie. I'm tired of watching us get bullied, or getting physically picked up and tossed out of the pitch.
Whatever but the last two videos I saw of him off the pitch he was attempting to destroy property.
We've got no chance of any of them apart from maybe Grealish without signings this month to save the season.
Just because of this comment you are tier 6 now.
The club must not be fully convinced by him, this deal isn't happening. They would have paid up like they did for Wan-Bissaka and Maguire, two players that were extensively scouted.
Six signing in four windows. feck the Glazers and their accountant minions.
Not 70m convinced, but they're 55m convinced though. So it's about the money, not the player.
To be fair it took us forever to get those sorted and we seemingly haggled for ages over them too. Unless you're being ironic.
I cant stand that James Cooper who does Utd reports. He is the biggest transfer muppet ive ever seen

A quote (if true) from within the media machine which shows what I've been saying all along.
I would expect this to be corroborated in due course, since it's been clear that every twist in the 'saga' has come from the same newspaper sources in Portugal that made things up during the summer.
I think he’s just being honest. Signing 5-6 is unrealistic. He wants 1 or 2, the clubs working on it and he’s at arms length.
If he aired his dirty laundry in public the media would be lapping up the fractured relationship between the manager and the club and it’d be even worse if we didn’t get the deal over the line. Fergie always said nobody is bigger than the club and that includes Ole.
We’re all grown up enough to know the things we’re saying on here about the club are well recognised by the players and management.
