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.
feck off with this crap.
Savage is panicking.
Think the kids have done a great job. They have the chemistry the first 10 didn’t have, but are short on the physical side.
I mean that’s pretty standard for any big clubs youth side. Mainoo seems the clear best prospect, and our other two top youth prospects outside of Garnacho are playing in the championship.
That should always be the expectation. You (not saying you specifically) should never assume these young players will become great. They only present a chance at maybe 1 or 2 becoming first team players. And that's only a chance.
Ooooh
Like your idol Rangnick?
He could do with a loan to a club in the lower leagues.
Folks, another reminder that this is a friendly (for youngsters) against a La Liga side. No need to get worked up like RAWKites
17yo Kobbie Mainoo is arguably the only kid in here with a chance of one day reaching the first team.
Yeah. Good for them to get some experience against a la liga side. No need for all this doom and gloom
Better release the rest of them then
All but a select few of the academy players will ever have a chance at making it. Something a lot of people have trouble understanding. The vast majority will not become Manchester United players or even PL players. It's just how it is.
Youth Cup winners to being slaughtered by Cadiz
Mainoo looks so good.
Right after this match or who knows, while the match is going on I presume.
EtH has to go
to Betis next, hopefully we win

I think its cute as hell the Cadiz lot strutting about because they've beaten Manchester United. Arguing with the kids, putting shithouse tackles in, proper celebrating the goals and treating it like a proper cup final. Fair play to them.
Aren't Garnacho and Iqbal playing?
Solid bait, good sinker. 9/10
Selection born out of desperation.Like your idol Rangnick?
I’d rather see Mainoo on the bench than Donny from this point.
He was his favourite player and to be fair to RR, got a tune out of him. You can say he isn't and won't be good enough for our level, but to say he is worse than every single PL player is ridiculous.
Full time
Very rough day at the office, I see.
That being said and based on what I could read here and there, the lack of urgency from the very few fringes (Donny, Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, McTominay) with decent first-team experience is a concern.

We will end up with Mike Ashley with performances like this
Mainoo has got it. I think Jurado has a chance. The rest of the youngsters have clearly been overrated. Some of Shoretire’s passing leaves a bit to be desired.
I think a mid season fitness boosting friendly is a perfect gauge on how good a youngster is.
Cadiz only lost to Madrid 2-1 before the break some of you think we are playing Accrington Stanley or something
Thought Mainoo and Shola looked a level about the rest of the kids during that second half. Cadiz faded second half, possibly because of the lack of changes and match fitness, still it was good to see our youngsters keep going. Especially with one or two looking like they might be ready for football above junior level.
I know. But it is hard to see that any of these players will ever be good enough for United. But we will just have to wait and see.
Hopefully this one is used as a good learning experience in a couple of ways.
A few will have had their eyes opened at how small the margins for error are in senior football at a good level, and maybe even more helpfully, one or two who might already feel they've made it just by being in United's youth team will have been given a bit of a wake up call.

Was thinking about the second half team, Garnacho definitely has a chance of course. Not so sure about Zidane, but maybe.
Good effort from the lads. What impressed me most is that they didn't panic in defense when pressured, didn't resort to long balls, kept playing the way they knew, even after the mistake. Individually, Mainoo, Emeran and Shoretire caught my eye. Savage disappointed me a bit, thought he looked much calmer in pre-season.
So that's us and Arsenal finished for the rest of the season then? They lost 4-2 to Watford.
Aye, a bunch of seasoned regulars at a Spanish club. They are better than our not even reserve side plus 1 first team starter.
What competition is this?
A loss was to be expected. Rather interesting to see which players stand out positively and negatively. Cadiz is easily better than our B/C team.
Add Hansen-Aarøen who I thought pressed brilliantly and I agree. Jurado is also very good technically and really composed on the ball.
And we need to sell Garnacho
