In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

We all saw it but still...
Embarrassing for Ronaldo. When his camp started trying to create a market for him, this cant be what they had in mind.
I suppose if he did stay, he'd be highly motivated to shut people up after turning into a meme and joke.
This is just tedious now.
Get rid. We don’t need this toxic shite.
Is there anywhere else for him to go. Can’t he go Napoli or Ac Milan.
Man this is as bad as having Lukaku. Atleast Inter wanted him back. We all know Juventus don’t.

It was widely reported that a Saudi Arabian club offered $250m or whatever it was. Obviously I can understand why anyone would turn a move to Saudi Arabia down, but the wage demand issue is a situation that only he and Mendes can resolve. It seems as if he's trying to have his cake and eat it at the moment.
If he wants to leave United because of the trauma he and his wife have gone through, that is completely fair enough. He has to compromise somewhere if something is to give, though. Demanding the same salary and it also be a CL club doesn't seem like the way to go about it if your reason for wanting to leave was because of said trauma? I dunno. Maybe I'm more cynical.
any team that want to fight for champion league won't want a 37 years old striker either.
I'm actually of the opinion that there is indeed truth behind him wanting to leave because we lack ambition in the transfer market. But also with the World Cup (likely to be his last) literally just around the corner, this mess only serves as a massive, unnecessary distraction for him. I just don't get the thinking and fecking logic behind all of this.
Ronaldo's next club has not yet qualified for the CL.
If only we could ship off a lot of our supposed "fans" to the level of club they deserve with their posting.
I don't think this is definitive 'no' at this stage. If Ronaldo were to lower his wage demands, a move to Atletico could become economically viable again. He apparently said he would.
I can't help but have positive feelings towards him for some of the incredible football he has played here in the past.
With that said he is no longer good enough to justify this level of headache. I suppose in a way it is a positive as we are not all as worried about whether he leaves as in 2008 but he also won't fire us to the Champions League final next season.

Ronaldo will still think he can carry teams to finals
If used sparingly he could be an excellent signing for one of the CL clubs but we know he'll insist on playing every game he wants and will be throwing a fit on the bench causing unrest. Perhaps he can adjust his expectations in the coming weeks to seal a deal but he seems one or two years away from accepting a supporting role or maybe by then leaving Europe.

Sorry but I am disgusted in Ronaldo if he is indeed trying to worm his way into the Champions League. He is not denying it is he!?. He has not sad so much as a word about the team or the manager, or his 'situation' in weeks!...guilty and sneaky. Pretending it is about the clubs ambitions....absolute rubbish! All fool the fans who would welcome him back after all this. Feel sorry for the new manager who may be under pressure to include Ronaldo in the first team if he fails to abandon ship.
We are having to deal with another Woodward decision.
ten Hag would have planned without him I am sure.
So if he ends up staying he would only be a bit player.
Really hope this Atletico story is true.

I don’t think he would move to Atlético given his history with Real. Same reason he didn’t move to City last summer.
He would have definitely moved to City if he had no alternative.
Don’t think he cares about that anymore. Playing in champs league is what he cares about the most apparently.
The more this goes on the more ugly it seems to me. He has to spend ONE more season with a club he's supposedly very fond of and yet he's appearing more and more desperate to leave even though it's pretty clear no one really wants him. Yes he won't have champions league if he stays (he's already 15 goals ahead of Messi who won't be catching him anytime soon) but he has a world cup to prepare for and just one more year on his contract. Man up for feck's sake.
Ugly for Ronaldo to be honest. He has really embarrassed himself. I'd be fine if he wanted to move but this was the worst thing he could have done for his legacy, and I mean general footballing legacy.
a large no thank you.
Damn!!!
I really wish he'd gone to City last year. Shot ourselves in the foot by signing him.
It's just a huge lack of self awareness, I think he genuinely believed that he'd have a pick of clubs.
If United didnt step in, he wouldnt even blink to be in City.
Imagine AC Milan, 40 year old Zlatan and 37 Year old Ronaldo
Throw in bringing back Seedorf from retirement for fun
Imagine Real fans hearing that he lowered his wage demands to secure a move to Athletico 
Please make it happen and soon.

City have dodged a lot of bullets like Sanchez, United have been niave.
United are stuck with Ronaldo and City had a spot to go after Haaland this summer.
Haaland would never come to United but United now have got Cavani and Ronaldo as free agents instead of getting a striker that can grow with the team. 2 year stop gaps.
Bah! He’s got a massive ego.
It’s Mendes’ failure to read the room that‘s really surprising. He’s supposed to be a master of Machiavellian guile and subterfuge, but has ended up making his best client ever look like an idiot.
He would have if we had allowed a release clause on his contract a few years back. I actually cant really blame the club here, all our chips were on Greenwood fulfilling his potential and becoming one of the elite forwards in world football, nobody could have predicted the absolute horror show that was to follow there.
Completely forgot about greenwood think I repressed his memory
I dont blame you.... horrific situation.
I hope the manager benches him if he doesn't leave. I really don't think his goalscoring ability makes up for his lack of work rate.
That may be true; I’m inclined to believe it is. If he were really on strike I’m sure the club would have let something slip accidentally on purpose.
The club may well be happy for him to stay away while this saga is ongoing though.
Now that the footballing people’s voice at United appears to carry a lot more weight than it did under Woodward, I’m a lot more confident that it’ll be handled in a way that prioritises what’s best for the manager and the team.
Ronaldo has always cared only about himself, he's hyper individualistic. I feel his performances at the end of last season were motivated by an obsession to score for personal glory, the team be damned. It's been successful for him so it's all he knows. He couldn't give a shit what jersey he puts on, as long as he is the star and in contention for individual awards.
Trying to get Real to bite
