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.

I think people say vertical lines or vertical stripes make you look slimmer
LeBron?That sprint in second goal though, imagine a 33 years old still that fast in a counter.
Interesting thing is dybala isn't playing? Ours fans going insane that Martial is playing despite him giving zero effort... imagine we weren't playing dybala there would be war
Well, for the start there's no comparison between size of basketball court and football pitch.
He played the full 90 today.
He's a bit rubbish isn't he? 
.
.The Roniboys must have splashed their TV screens today 
Still getting himself in good positions. Once he gets on a good run, he'll settle down and prove himself yet again IMO.
Dropped in prior 2 games. Sorry if i wasn't clear - I know he is getting plenty of mins
I thought he looked ok physically by his standards today. Missed two sitters though so he could easily have gotten a hattrick and the two goals were nothing extraordinary for an elite striker. Jury still out on what asset he'll be in big games imo.
Flood gates have now opened.
Really? Is the jury still out on that?
I agree 100%.
He has yet to prove himself.
The guy has won five ballon d’Ors, countless titles and Champions Leagues, as well as bringing a lesser country to winning the Euros.... has played four games for Juventus, winning all of them... and the jury’s still out? Jesus, give the guy a break
He is not a god, he is 33 years old... and just scored two goals. He doesn’t have to prove anything and he’ll still decide big games, he’s born to do this, even at an older age.The guy has won five ballon d’Ors, countless titles and Champions Leagues, as well as bringing a lesser country to winning the Euros.... has played four games for Juventus, winning all of them... and the jury’s still out? Jesus, give the guy a break
The mind boggles!Not really. He's been far far better than Sanchez was in his first 4 games for United.
And still the haters will say Robben, Iniesta, and Ribery, were better than him at club level... And say that Eusebio was the best player ever to hail from Portugal (even when he didn’t win anything).The guy has won five ballon d’Ors, countless titles and Champions Leagues, as well as bringing a lesser country to winning the Euros.... has played four games for Juventus, winning all of them... and the jury’s still out?

Ronaldo is an all time great, and has maintained his peak for more than a decade. He is top 5 of all time to me. So is Messi (who’s peak was higher but shorter).
When you think of titles, individual accolades, records, longevity, status etc:
Ronaldo’s sheer body of work at club level probably exceeds all 3 of those players club careers combined.
You don't need to be a hater to have that opinion. Eusebio was extraordinary and his WC 66 surpasses anything Ronaldo has done for the NT. If you want to reduce that to "didn't win anything"... Well, I guess Ronaldo has got to thank Éder then.
Their careers were so different (and in so different eras) that it's impossible to compare their achievements, but I would not dare dismiss Eusebio. I still get mesmerized by every single clip I see of him, let alone his numbers.
Who actually says that? I've never heard anyone say Robben, Ribery etc were better at any level? Or is this is like a random Donald Trump haters and losers shade throwing?
Thank god.
Eusebio scored 9 goals that tournament, finished ahead of Brazil (winners in 58', 62' and 70 with some Pelé dude amongst others) while putting 2 goals and them and now "Eusebio didn't won anything". God bless the 21st century culture of only winning accounts for something, it helps sports in a lot of ways, when European football becomes like the NBA with players only joining winning teams to get easy silverware everyone will moan about. At this rate we might see the next generation of goat level players join forces to win 5 UCL titles in a row with PSG or something.
The second goal is such a nice finish. Takes it in his stride and slots it in, and makes it all looks really simple.
Yeah, he also played in 4 CL finals and finished his career with 57 goals in 75 European games.
Jury still out on what asset he'll be for Juventus, i.e. whether they are able to play to his strengths and he is able to introduce them to their team play. Obviously looking at his career he's second to none in world football. I apologize for not being clear.The guy has won five ballon d’Ors, countless titles and Champions Leagues, as well as bringing a lesser country to winning the Euros.... has played four games for Juventus, winning all of them... and the jury’s still out?

That's exactly why football is a team sport. Was he sitting on the bench for each of those 7 goals? If not, he participated. His movement would have created spaces which others benefit from.
So, according to you, Ronaldo is a great footballer only if, every time he plays, he scores. Every big game he plays he scores (season after season)?
Best of luck finding a football great in your lifetime.
Also, yes those hatticks are important for victory. Our game against Watford is a case in point. You need those to put a game to bed or the other team always has a chance. DDGs save from the header would not have been needed if we we're 3 goals up at half time.
Should have scored 3 or 4 goals, which means once he is hitting form he will be getting a lot more.
Juventus match highlights on YouTube have gone from about 100,000 views to several million views this season.
I love how everyone forgot that under logical old rules, Portugal wouldn't have gotten past the group stages
Yeah, the obsession with only winning along with dick swinging contest in numbers and statistics is becoming infuriating.
The rules were changed YEARS ahead of the competition, Portugal played to the rules and did enough to get out of the group stage.
By your logic, plenty of CL winners down the years wouldn't have qualified under the old rules.
He does pull in an incredible amount of attention and new fans, there is no doubt about that. Real back in the day got the deal of a life time with those 80M they spent on him and even Juve might have a chance making those 100M back in the long run with the additional attention and fans he is bringing in.
Sent off on Juventus Champions League debut

3 match ban please (will probably be rescinded though).
Really hope the ban is upheld. Couldn't bear the thought of Old Trafford laying out the red carpet for him again.
Itll most likely be overturned since he didnt actually do anything
Can red cards even be rescinded in Europe? I thought it was only for mistaken identity unless the regulations have changed.
For violent conduct too according to Sky.
I have seen the sending off a few time now, what did he do, I can't see anything he did.
He's their key threat, but this could easily be the last chance we get to see him, so really hope the ban is either 1 game, or rescinded.
Only a second return in 9 years
Only a second return in 9 years
Worth a threadmark/new thread @Damien ?
