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.
1999- Ronaldo led team.
Is Herrera definitely out?
That Inter finished 8th in Serie A. It was full of very good players, sure, but as a team it never really clicked.
Not sure what would look like but I will take your word for it.

We were huge favourites for that tie. It was Juventus in the semi we were the underdogs for. That Inter side had a shocker of a season and finished midtable.
Hard to be positive given how bad we've looked lately. 0-2, Messi, Suarez
I get the feeling tonight will go one of two ways. We’ll either win 2-1 or we’ll get treated to a Messi masterclass like that time Ronaldo tore is a new one when we played Madrid.
You forgot the part where they ripped off our fans for tickets and have ties to a slave trade regime in Qatar. They paint themselves as ‘more than a club’ but they very much are like every other club. They’re just not ‘new money’ like PSG and City.
We are saved, by Katrina Maria!

Max bet £5 though, just for new players. Saldy not fill your boots at 20s!
Messi hasn’t had a bad game all season. And it won’t start tonight
They're obviously not like every other club but among one of the very most important. Just like Juve despite having match fixing history or Madrid with their Franco controversies, are still uniquely great football clubs. As are Manchester United.
Think you missed the actual point as I wasn't referring merely to the nationality of PSG's ownership but their historical and cultural importance/reason for their rise.
This is all very nice but hopefully we offer no niceness on the football pitch tonight.
We need her to save our Match Day thread, would greatly improve the atmosphere.

ah right, to be honest all I remember in the build up was the coverage of how fit Ronaldo was going to be and the Beckham/Simeone suplot. I thought it was assumed that if Ronaldo played we'd really struggle as he was such a special player. It's weird to think they finished 8th in Serie A that year with those players
Nervous about the game but really hoping we pull a result out of the hat. Need Pogba and De Gea to step up again.
Nervous but won't be annoyed if we are two down inside the first twenty. They're European royalty and we are some way off of them at the moment.
But we are United and we can beat anyone on our day so let's hope we resurrect the PSG levels and make BCN pay.

Which we won 4-3!

IllI be watching this in a bar beside the Estadio Nacional of Peru.
And then in to watch the Copa Libertadores clash between Sporting Cristal v Concepcion.
And then escape with my life before it all kicks off outside afterwards.

Messi would be facing Shaw no?
All this fair play will take a back seat if united go into away fixture with a decent lead
Might work tonight if Alba is high up the pitch.Would Young actually start this

Without a doubt, the men at the helm of Barca are among the cringiest you'll ever see in football.All this fair play will take a back seat if united go into away fixture with a decent lead
Well neither. He doesn't stick to the wings and operates centrally. Alba will be the one playing on Young.
And they pay your winnings in a mixture of cash and free bets...cash to the proper odds (3/1) and the other 17/1 in free bets...

But we need more than Rashford playing, he can't just be on the field for the sake of it. He needs to be fully fit so that we can press and get the ball, move fast forward and challenge their keeper! If he's at that level of fitness, then yes, we are going to do beautiful things.Absolute excited for this one! Dont think i will be able to really focus on work tomorrow afternoon.I will be at the Camp Nou the other week, so i hope we can get at least a draw tomorrow.
I hope we have a go at them in the first 20-25 minutes to pick up the atmosphere, i believe the fans can be a huge factor tomorrow. Imagine Old Trafford if we score an early goal. Afterwards we should try to control the game without conceding to much dangerous counter attacks from Barca.
Easier said than done, but i truly believe that we are able to beat them tomorrow. Camp Nou on the other side will be another story
BTW, Rashford has posted a new foto/comment on instagram. I reckon he will be able to play according to it.
Just want us to have a go. None of this being scared nonsense. Hopefully the crowd is up for it.
The guy behind Fergie wants to know what it feels like touching a God
Last thing we need is to play with a rush of blood to our collective heads. You can get away with it in the Prem in one-off games, but over two legs you're better off remaining focused, composed and keeping your concentration. There will be a temptation to just "oh feck it, lads, we're at home. Go for it", but we'll get picked off like Madrid did vs. Barça that way.
We need to play to our strengths. We can't outplay other top teams in our league, so we're not playing the possession kings and taking the game to them on the front foot. We don't have the personnel for it. It's all about the counter vs. them, and defending resolutely. Any other approach with this squad would be suicidal. We're not playing with Rio, Scholes, Giggs, Ronaldo, RvN and co anymore.

Why isn't Woodward more central?
Completly agree. I hope we are professional enough to only start him when he is fully fit and @ 100%. Otherwise he should come from the bench for the last 20-30 minutes at the most.
3 hours to go... I hope we don't get embarrassed and Suarez doesn't score. If he does score I hope someone smashes him.
United 0-2 Barca
United 0-2 Barca
How's this work for a hype up?
Barca don't usually impress me too much playing away from home in Europe. But they are a very monstrous prospect playing at the Nou Camp. We cannot afford to lose this match. Paris won't happen at Barcelona.
Odds are against us over the tie - let's just enjoy it and win or lose playing the United way.
Except Messi. Man mark the sh^t out of him.

Our defenders will be lucky to stand on his shadow.
