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?

I can see him joining City.
I appreciate him as a player for us, he goes down as a legend for his achievements but the love is all one sided.
I've never really seen Ronaldo wax lyrical about anything United related.

There is an interview where he said won’t join city and if money mattered would have gone to Qatar.
Oh I wasn't aware of that! Will he keep his word?
He's a winner, City are serial winners right now so let's see if the allure of trophies turns his head.
Actions speak very louder than words.
Ronaldo had 3 absolutely world class seasons for us and is roundly adored by our supporters. Rooney who is our record goal scorer divides the fanbase because he had the “audacity” to question whether the Glazers and club would match his ambitions. He was on to something. I respect Ronaldo but he’s more of a Madrid legend than a United one. If he goes to city then it should be a stark reality check for the Ronaldo fan boys in that he doesn’t give a damn about United.
Romano said the agent is actively working on a deal with City, but its complicated.
The interview is 6 years old tbf
That was then. Knowing that Messi has fair shot at the CL and is favourite to win the ballon d'or, City would be completely ideal. Great shot at another PL and CL trophy. He only cares about his legacy at this point.
Not gonna lie it will hurt seeing Ronnie in a City shirt.
If he goes I will convert to Messianity

I hope Sterling’s prepared to give up the 7 shirt
good point, and knowing his ego this would be a crucial factor in his decision
Yeah the interview is from 2015 when he just became Real’s all-time topscorer and probably in his wildest dreams wouldn’t have imagine he would be in the situation he is in now.
He basically committed career suicide the day he left Madrid.
Guardiola (if interested at all) should basically use this as a sort of a litmus test. Whatever one thinks about City they do seem to function well as a team and there is zero place there for all the "me first" bull Ronaldo is famous for. Maximum wage not above De Bryne's level, you get the number we assign you, free kick and penalty takers are decided by the manager. Any hesitancy and the deal is off. When he was ten years younger it probably made sense to indulge him completely, not now.
brilliant.Why do people keep bringing up that interview? All he says is that he wouldn't move to City for money. If he moved now, it'd be for trophies.
Except that isn't what happened. He kicked off about his contract and threatened to go to City. That's what tarnished his reputation.
Says who?
Some just appreciate the athlete more than the sport/branding. Given sports teams here are franchises there's more focus on the athlete I feel.
Anyway I will have an existential crises if he went to City so I won't believe it -- smoke screen for Ronaldo to United!
You would celebrate a goal scored by a rival team just because of who the goal scorer is? Unless ronaldo is someone very close to you or family that is just actually very weird. Surely you must realise that.
These new generation fans who fan boy to these ridiculous lengths never fail to astound me.
After Juve signed Arthur, I started watching more Juventus than usual and I think people are underrating his general play. He's obviously not at 06/07 or 07/08 levels of singlehandedly dominating games, but he's still very good. I was surprised at how good he still was after hearing nothing but "penaldo" memes and whatnot. He'd more than hold his own in a Pep team.
Not really. A lot consider it a good move for his journeyman career. He left Real Madrid on a high. Juventus just didn't reach the heights they'd hoped too while he's been there.
the real MessiahI’m a self confessed Ronaldo fanboy, not quite as committed as RedRonaldo though …
If I see Ronaldo the player I have adored for years wearing that disgusting blue shirt of Citeh, the most plastic of clubs, the little boy in me who still loves football I fear will die …
It might help expedite the inevitable, which is my ever dwindling love for the game finally falling off the cliff of no return. Would be a truly disgusting sight to behold Ronnie in sky blue, proper gag-inducing.

You're upset there is a bigger fanboi than you
For the price, we have to sign him.
No brainer.

Ok I admit it.The dude is a god of football, I’ve supported him everywhere he’s been, but even I cannot support him at that disgrace of a football club.
RR put them all to shame.
Is he still a dominant player at almost 37 years old? I haven’t watched him much at all since he moved to Juve.
- Probably would’ve won his 6th Ballon D’or (and the first to do so) that year if he didn’t move (Should’ve won ahead of Modric).
-Most likely would have led Madrid to at least another CL final (probably making him a strong contender for his 7th BDOR).
-Would probably have scored another 50 odd goals considering Juve’s defensive style.
-Would have won the league titles he won at Juve at Madrid anyway.
The truth is that Juve never matched his ambition. The team was severely lacking when he joined them.
He got his money though? He could have stayed at Madrid at the wage he had at the time...
In regards to which part? It being about trophies?
Ronaldo did say Madrid had offered him what Juve pay him now in the end but the bridge had already been burned.
Maybe.
How did I miss these posts. They are like literal excerpts from Insane People Tweets
