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.

Could be someone loosened the purse strings after Brentford when they realized that it would cost far more than 150M to get anything done this summer.
Pre Brentford we had 20M to spend, now we have 100M more sort of deal. So the best we could afford was Rabiot, and now the best we can afford is Casemiro.
Their interest in joining us is secondary.
Is this a joke? Literally we could use Redcafe Polls and come up with a better transfer strategy.
Oh I think Murtough definitely would...
This is surely just a us trying to get Rabiot to lower his wage demands and Juve to force him out, we're just not been very subtle about it.
Only hope would be that he is looking for a final payday,sounds familiar?
But my cynical side thinks this is just the owners sending out fake stories trying to look like they want to spend money.

it's the latter
We are really a clueless club. No plan at all

Right, let's spend a week negotiating with RM just to be rejected by Casemiro. This is a complete non starter, he would be mental to leave RM for us.Perez loved Bale though,it's why they didn't sell him when we were willing to offer 100m and he was offered silly money to go to China.
Loved him so much he had no problems letting Ronaldo walk as he saw him as their future main man.
It's Zidane who didn't rate him and exiled him.
The only player who they've wanted to sell but haven't been able to is Mariano and that's because he refuses all offers to leave his comfy life in Madrid racking up trophies without having to play.
This is obviously insane and will not happen. Shambles
I hope we don't embarrass ourselves and actually bid 50 million
Why not? Man won everything there is with your team, many a time. Could he want a new challenge? Theoretically - yes, then a salary bump as well.
I mean Casemiro would fail horribly in the PL or anywhere really if refs decided to actually book him 
Madrid have replaced him. He’s 30. He didn’t start at the weekend. From their perspective I’d be biting our hands off for 50m quid. Incredible fee. That’s what smart clubs do - replace before players are totally past it and sell when they still have value. See Varane.
I can imagine how those talks are going.
Us-Can we buy Casemiro.
Madrid- No.
Us-Do you want to join us?
Casemiro-Eh no.
Talks complete.

I’m getting Di Maria vibes
Don't look too deep into it,
He started in the Super Cup along with Modric vs. Frankfurt. Both he and Modric didn't start vs. Almeria.
Why would Casemiro want to join Man United?
Does he want a new challenge or is he a masochist?

I wonder if this would give Madrid some unexpected cash to go and beat PSG for Ruiz. There were rumors they wanted him on a free next year and the reported fee PSG would pay was between 20 and 25 million Euro I believe.
‘We’ll we tried guys’ when we sign nobody Is the vibes I’m getting.
Who in their right minds leaked that our new target is Casemiro

Point still stands. That’s a crazy fee only a truly desperate club would pay for a 30 year old and a smart club who have already brought in two young top CMs would take it. It can help fund Bellingham next year.
This is not happening.
Wow, we have really briefed this out. Can't believe we'd brief this. Why not try quietly? Cause we are going to look silly again.
Playing defensive midfield for United is the ultimate fecking challenge, tbf.
Agreed. Can see us agreeing a fee with Madrid (after all they'd be stupid to reject 50 million for a 30 year old Casemiro) and then getting rejected by the player.
Would make us look even more pathetic after the whole De Jong fiasco.
because this is nothing more than setting up the inevitable "we tried" excuse when the window closes and we've yet again failed to strengthen the team.
Our club knows that we have no chance of signing him but just want to put it out there that we are still trying to sign players.
Even if it did happen it would just be another expensive stop-gap solution. We should only make this type of signing if it was the missing piece to make us contenders. We are so far away from competing for anything, so we should look at building for the long term.
I can't let myself get excited about this transfer. Truly one of the best DCM in Europe.
Casemiro wouldn’t wipe his arse with our 3rd kit never mind consider moving here.
This will surely never happen? They can explore the possibility all they want.
I think Madrid would sell for a solid bid (above market price). They’ve been buying a lot of young midfielders lately and have plenty of depth.
I have a hard time seeing Casemiro wanting a move here and playing Europa League though. And god knows what Ronaldo and Varane are telling him about United now.
Believe it or not United still has a lot of fans
Throw enough shit at a wall...
It's all about that social media engagement. That's where our focus truly is this season.
"Please come here, our team-mates are shit"?
