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?

Absolute nonsense – and your exaggerated comment speaks volumes.
I would say that he had absolutely shocking service last year – to the point of it being non-existent. If he was taking 10 chances to score one goal, then I would argue that is a fault on him. But the biggest issue for me last season is that we did not create enough chances for him to score.
If you actually watched our games, you would see a player constantly making an early run, only to turn back and have to get back on side because there was no first-time cross, or early ball into the box. Instead, whoever had the ball in a wide position would instead turn around and end up passing backwards.
I blame him more than anyone for our attack suddenly becoming so much worse overnight.So even when it isn't his fault it is
If you do not believe that playing in an attack that doesn't work for a year is negative for a player who thrives on confidence (and has proved themselves a 20+ goal a season winger) then we can agree to disagree
I need this to be true
Wish it was a better source reporting this
I just can't see how they could afford his wages.
God please be true I'm begging you
I need this to be true
Fake News people.
People really are desperate in here Don't jump at every tweet ffs.
Don't jump at every tweet ffs.Thankfully not the BBC of Saville, Hall and Harris, aka the unholy trinity.
i can see it now. Ronaldo scores 1 or 2 goals in the UCL before sporting are dumped out the group stages and he spends the rest of the year in the Portuguese league. His ego is way too big for that. I think it's big team or bust for him.
At this point a move to one of the Portuguese clubs does feel like the last chance, but I just fail to see how any of them come close to paying his colossal salary
Yes but maybe only for 1 out of 6 season there. Most of the other time Messi has been bagging most of their goals.
The amount of people saying “please let this be true. I need this to happen” love it
Sporting can't afford him - keep praying lads
This is fake. People need to stop believing all of this nonsense.
If Ronaldo really is serious about leaving, I'm sure he would be prepared to lower his wage demands for the move.
I believe the salary is more for status than monetary reasons. He's plenty well off and makes more money off the pitch than on it. So long as he is the highest paid player in the squad, I reckon he'll go for it.
Is he willing to take the paycut to get goals in the UCL? That's the question Mendes is probably putting towards CR7...1 year, score goals in the UCL and then jump to a bigger club next year.
Come on, use that Nunes money Sporting.
So you're blaming Ronaldo for Rashford being rubbish the last couple of years? Ever heard of Occam's razor? Maybe Rashford has been poor for the last couple of seasons because...he's been jogging around the pitch and just isn't that good any more. Honestly, blaming Ronaldo for Rashford being rubbish because he contributed the most to an attack becoming dysfunctional which knocked Rashford's confidence is the most ridiculous reach.I blame him more than anyone for our attack suddenly becoming so much worse overnight.

Given that I was at the vast majority of games, I’d very much wager that I watched them. Him dawdling 20 yards behind the last defender wafting his arms around like Orville the Duck isn’t the fault of anyone but himself.
He didn’t get any service is laughable, the entire team had to give him the ball endlessly. The literal only tactic when he was on the pitch was “give it to Ronaldo” and he largely did nothing with it. He was crap, it wasn’t other peoples fault, he was simply no better than the majority of the others.
Your "rubbish" version of Rashford before Ronaldo got here, got 21 goals and 15 assists from out wide. (22 goals and 12 assists the season before that).
But no not just Rashford. I blame him in part for Rashford, Sancho and Bruno's loss of form.
It's clear to see that you are agenda posting, so there's probably no point continuing this.Your "rubbish" version of Rashford before Ronaldo got here, got 21 goals and 15 assists from out wide. (22 goals and 12 assists the season before that).

My agenda is that I believe Ronaldo is a net negative on our attack and that it effects all his teammates individual performances. I am almost certain I will be proved right when he either leaves or plays a lot less this season.It's clear to see that you are agenda posting, so there's probably no point continuing this.
I am happy to be proven wrong as he is one of my favourite players of all time and I was giddy as a school boy when he signed for us last year.
If that is an agenda then okie dokie artichoke.
I agree that we should use him as an impact sub or get rid. However, to say what you're saying absolves other players of blame when they clearly need to pull up their socks. Also, you do seem to studiously avoid Ronaldo's goalscoring stats from last season in (as you point out) a dysfunctional attack, despite bringing up Rashford's stats as evidence. Like I say...agenda posting!
FFS, was happy for a second before I checked the source.
He scored a lot of goals and a lot of important goals too, some absolute beauties. The one against Spurs was absolutely gorgeous.I agree that we should use him as an impact sub or get rid.

I think those goals were a lot more important than they needed to be because our attack went so far backwards in large part because he is not the player to build a fluid attack around at 37 years old.
For what it's worth I am not totally absolving them and honestly I couldn't care less about last season at this point, it is done. I do believe that Rashford, Bruno and Sancho can have very good seasons and score plenty of goals along with Martial, they have proven it. My main concern is that I just think it is a LOT less likely to happen if we play Ronaldo as much as we did last season.
Caught Offside is literally a bloke in his mother's basement making up stuff.
Sporting have a favourable Champions League draw. I wonder if CR7 sees an opportunity to extend his CL goals record and has been waiting for this draw
Hope this is true. It would be a fitting end for his career and at least a minimum of 18 CL games over next 3 seasons. Plenty of games to get goals. Plus he'll be treated like royalty and the club will ensure that he has the right supporting cast to get the best out of him.
They won’t. This is Sanchez 2.0. Our club just doesn’t learn.
Nah that's caught doing something far worse.
That may well be true but perhaps he has mendes’ phone number.
I’m hoping he does!
Fair enough. That said, anyone that on performance history alone advocates for Martial over Ronaldo is a bit misguided imo. Where does the belief in Martial to all of a sudden pull it out the bag and have a good season come from, beyond a decent preseason and an OK 20 minutes or so against liverpool?
I really hope this bloke is David Ornstien.
Blast from the past
With that group…. I’d join Sporting too if I was only truly interested in my CL goals haul.
No contender wants him, easy goals in the league, 90 mins whenever he wants(every game)….
