In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
What a huge boost that would be. Wonder if it's possible to have Lukaku and Ibrahimovic up front 
Get in! I'll get a shirt with his name on it this year then.
As an impact sub I'd be happy to have Zlatan back.
Also good news that Mourinho wants a full back.

It won't be a Semedo. He is going to Barca.

But "ultra reliable" Richard Keys said he's about to sign for LA Galaxy
Zlatan 10. If it happens, my son will get that shirt 
Gooooooooooooo Zlatan!
It would be worth setting up in a 3-5-2 just to make this happen.What a huge boost that would be. Wonder if it's possible to have Lukaku and Ibrahimovic up front
Great news having Zlats back among the squad. If we're lucky we can squeeze another season out of him after this one.
Funny part is, this is the third summer in a row Ibra has been linked with the LA Galaxy.
Good if we get an injury. Otherwise it shouldn't be necessary. I like him a lot, but we should be in a position that we don't need him. So far this transfer window we haven't any news that particularly suggests we're moving forward.
How exactly will this open up funds?
Don't have to sign another striker for money.
He dropped pretty deep a lot, it would be interesting to see him and Lukaku play up top together. Im not really sure if it would work well. We'll also have a lot of games next season so it'd be nice to have some rotation options.
Center Backs would be leaving the field in stretchers.What a huge boost that would be. Wonder if it's possible to have Lukaku and Ibrahimovic up front
Was obvious, he couldn't quit before winning the league.
He always win the title for all clubs he's played.

Good. Now we have a main striker, zlatan will be great in the squad i think.
In some swedish media it is reported that his recovery is baffling the medical team at MU and at this rate he could be back in October.. .
This would make my summer!
I read that too. It makes sense to sign him up again.
Marquee signing 2.0? Hahaha
If they do I have to sign up for viasat sport again. Expensive but worth it.
Great news if true. Would be interesting to see how we fit both Lukaku and Zlatan in the same team though, I'd imagine one would be benched
They could suit each other in a pairing, at least in certain situations.
Holding the ball up is meant to be one of Lukaku's weaknesses but is one of Ibra's strengths. Could see Ibra in the target man role, collecting the ball, holding it up, and then playing through to Lukaku running in behind. Would give defenders nightmares
I can't imagine the movement in the opposition half would be up to much. We need to improve it but that would potentially make it worse than last season.
Rotation could be good, but I can't see us going too far in Europe and Rashford should be ready to step in a lot.
I want Zlatan.
But not if it means Rashford getting frozen out of the team.

Do you WANT WANT WANT him?
Would be good news, hope it's true. As long as he's happy to play a reduced role, if necessary.
I think in some games and situations, with his hold up play and ability to bring others in, Ibra as a 10/SS behind Lukaku would be mental. Defenders and DMs trying to cope with those two and Rashford's pace, Pogba pinging balls round at the same time would be brutal. A great rotation option to have too, for cup matches and late on in a game to bully tired defenders.
He's obviously been a positive influence about the place in general too. Good development all round.

DADDY needs to GET GET GET him
Utd have Lukaku, Rashford and Martial. Why would they need to sign another striker? I'd actually bite your hand off for a backup striker like Martial..
Will he be willing to play off the bench i wonder.
He might be tall but his legs aren't that long.
I want him.
Can you imagine the mid season boost it will give the team having Zlatan back? Sign him up

Delighted. I wouldn't bench him for Lukaku but hey.

Definitely down with this. It means we've basically just replaced Rooney with Lukaku, rather than Zlatan, which makes our summer business look a lot more like a significant squad improvement.
He'll almost certainly be gone the following summer anyway, so any notion he's inhibiting Rashford is premature. It also keeps a goal scoring spot in the squad warm, that can still potentially be filled by Greizmann next year.

Great news if true. Zlatan will finally get his premier league medal.
Zlatan Lukaku upfront, long ball, win.
Not a good sign, imo.
I was hoping that with Lukaku and Rashford as our two choices for the lone striker role, we'd play a system that made use of their mobility.
If Jose sees Zlatan as a viable addition to out striking options, it means we're set to play the same slow paced attacking football as last season. I really hope we don't have another system where the front man is going to be a maypole the rest of the front players dance around, rather than an active runner in his own right. It was so predictable and easy to nullify once we got into the box. The only way to make it work is with a Pedro or Walcott type wideman who's adept at cutting into the box and finding space. We don't have that, but we do have shiny new striker that can shift it. Bringing in Ibrahimovic would be a retrograde step for our evolution.

Add Jan Koller up front with Zlatan and Lukaku and we would score 84 times in 90 mins if we set us up to play like against Fulham under Moyes.
Ibrahimovic can play in the hole very well too because of his build up play and as a second striker.
