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 a great player but he doesn't deserve that much credit for the assist
Dont think it was. It looked bad but his boot got caught onto Akanji's sock. Never intentional, in my opinion.
It's more to do with the consistency of his decision making he very rarely makes the wrong decison in those positions.
Why? Im not so much talking about the five yard pass he made, but the run before that. That said, something as simple as the 5 yard pass often gets messed up by players. His pass had the right weight for Hakimi to strike first time.
Leverkusen beating Gladbach 3-1, been a cracking football match, really competitive and plenty of high quality play particularly in the second half.
Barely noticed there’s no crowd because the coaches are really vocal anyway.

To me the most crucial thing he did was pick up the ball and beat his man right at the start of his run without losing any speed whatsoever.
Ive been watching Dortmund for the last 10 or so minutes but it definately sparked into life in the second half. Felt Gladbach were unfortunate to concede a pen.
Impressive from Dortmund. Put under pressure in the second half and did well.
Looking forward to Tuesday.
Looking forward to Tuesday.
Yeah. Impressive stuff.
Same here. Hopefully it'll be a cracking game.
Yeah it seemed like he just caught him in the follow through didn’t it. They were a bit hard done by but Leverkusen were good value for their win, they moved the ball really well throughout.
The touch was perfect to keep the ball close to him, yet away from his marker. It allowed him to go on the same run that led to the assist.
Just seen the reverse fixture Bayern got battered 5-1 ... Reckon this could be a battering for Frankfurt today as revenge?
You never know. Thiago does not play. Gnabry missed training Wednesday and Thursday because of problems (that he always seems to have first matchdays after breaks) and does not start. And all offensives but Müller come out of injuries.
How has Andre Silva been doing for Frankfurt?
What a pass Kimmich
1-0 Bayern. Lovely goal for Goretzka after great work down the left from Muller.
Bayern looking very sharp.
Bayern looking very sharp.
Lots of pressure from Bayern. This could get ugly for Frankfurt.
It would be such a shame for Davies to stay in Germany. It's Bayern, yeah, but still.
Would it really?
Muller gets the second goal 2-0 Bayern.
Yes. It's a second rate league in terms of exposure. As a stepping stone, it's fine, but he's Canadian and the Premier League makes more sense for him.
A shame about the UCL this season if it doesn't get completed, really think Bayern would've had a chance. The team is really working well under Flick.
Thomas Muller was supposedly finished... now he's world class again 
What a brilliant player he is on this form

Probably the most intelligent player IMO. Pleasure to watch.Thomas Muller was supposedly finished... now he's world class again
What a brilliant player he is on this form
Yeah definitely. They also have a month head start in fitness/match practice too.
He got Kovaced.Thomas Muller was supposedly finished... now he's world class again
What a brilliant player he is on this form
Even in previous seasons, he's become one of the best assist makers in the league and Europe (statistically). He might have lost his goalscoring ability somewhat but the movement never stopped, so he's managing to get more assists. 70 assists (43 goals) in the last 3.5 seasons is a pretty great record for a playmaker.Thomas Muller was supposedly finished... now he's world class again
What a brilliant player he is on this form
Overall, he had a bit of the downturn in form but has come back really strong the last two seasons.
Ancelotti and Kovac (especially fecking Kovac) had no idea how to get use out of him, it was sad to watch.Thomas Muller was supposedly finished... now he's world class again
What a brilliant player he is on this form
Davies is the most impressive teenager I've seen in a Bayern shirt since forever. Tremendous footballer already, scary to think what he could be in a couple of years.
Never knew Muller was such a good passer actually. They're all placed exactly where they need to be at the right speed.
Watching an english broadcast and I really love that there are no pointless halftime interviews. That's one thing I like playing behind closed doors.
Quality goal. Lewandowski 3-0
Imagine managing the german national team and deciding to permanently cut Müller.
Maybe there is life in the game yet. Hinteregger pulls one back 3-1
Yea both Hummels and Muller should be brought back, Boateng I don't think is good enough.

Wow 3-2. Hinteregger again.
That was almost a carbon copy of Keane v Juventus in 99'
Shambolic defense. Ouch.
