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.
Lineker saying the thing that struck him the most from the review of the 2018 final was how close the pundits are together, that was the same thing that stuck out to me as well 
1 on TV, 1 on tablet and Redcafe on phone.
I think the Real game will be very defensive with both teams being cautious. I think Dortmund will try to take it to City. Unsuccessfully, but it is their only chance.
Maybe watch the City game then but I do enjoy watching Real whenever I get the chance.
That City bench just daft.
just daft.Wonder are they going to have an 11 v 11 battle or go 1v1 winner stays on until there's only one left.
Googled the Knauff and it seems he has 2 appearances for Dortmund this season, both off the bench amounting to 40mins pro football in his career.
Any reason why he is starting ahead of Hazard, Brandt and Reyna? Seems an odd time to give him his debut.

Nailed on thrashings by Liverpool and City tonight
This is the point where Pep usually falls to pieces be funny to see the lack of striker costing them tonight and Haaland popping up with one or two.
Worst case scenario:
City 7 - 4 Haaland
City and Haaland fall in love with each other.
City 7 - 4 Haaland

not too confident tonight. as much as I want us to destroy those cnuts I still think they will edge it in the end
Analogy does not work here. City have played without a striker for a lot of games this season. This is their strongest team, no 4-D chess from Pep
BT sport Ffs.
doing a piece on haaland and goes on to say that his father played for city but his career got cut short by injury with that still picture of Keane standing over him. What a steaming pile of horseshit

Can easily see Liverpool beating Madrid and City getting beat by Dortmund.
Barely no hopes for this game. A 3-5-2 formation was the only possibility to have some chances plus Madrid's lackings in the defensive line are taylor-made for Liverpool's front three.
A 0-0 would be almost a miracle.

Liverpool will not keep a clean sheet tonight, don't worry friend

Very surprised by that too. I think those three aren't in great form but still odd. I saw Knauff play against Cologne a few weeks ago, and he looked very lively in those 10 minutes but to give him his debut against City seems risky when you have Hazard available.
I know it's said pretty much every game but look at that fecking bench
They should be booted out of club football if they weren't winning everything with that, it's mental
Not really just missed/missing the games which get a lot media attention, minor niggles here and there.
No Ramos, Varane and Hazard for Real Madrid. Won't surprise me if Liverpool do as Man City did last season and beat Real Madrid home and away.
I see! Ignore me then.
Fixed that for you
Best case Fernandinho does him with a studs up challenge creating a deep hatred for Haaland hell bent on retribution next season in the Manchester derby
Hazard and Brandt have been atrocious. Not sure about Reyna though. Knauff offers the yolo approach and Dortmund will be absolutely annihilated tonight.
Reyna was on the pitch for the USMNT friendlies, the accolades stop there. He has been out of form.
Dortmund will get slaughtered.
They’ve been playing with a striker a lot recently and you need to take your chances in the champions league, would expect them to win but would be such a Pep move to lose.
Brilliant! I just looked it up. I laughed out loud a few times reading that, I’m going to have to look out for these in the future.
Brandt and Reyna don't put in the defensive work and Brandt in particular has games where he's also a liability on the ball. Hazard has been injured for the first half of the season and looks like a nothing player ever since he returned. So by elimination Knauff is a logical choice. Because at least he's putting in the work and quite rapid, though of course there is a huge question mark behind his quality.
No Sancho?
So the press have decided to do some MAJOR revisionism on Alfe Inge Haaland and now he's some young, innocent kid who got robbed off a career by United? He was some bang average utility player in the 90s

I think he misses both games, injured.
even more strange than usual watching this at a training ground
