Yeah, although we also changed shape from the 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2.

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.

The season is 3 games old, how can it be claimed to be a 'sea of darkness' already?
A future attack built on this fella, Rashford, Martial, Greenwood and Gomes with Chong and Garner on the way up looks rosy. Unfortunately Ole will continue to persist with the likes of Lingard and Mata whatever happens this season.. could well see him out of a job ultimately..
Woops. Fixed. Thanks.@Niall , his goal stat needs updating at the top
2 goals in 3 games is good enough for now.
For now? So you'll only be content with a goal a game?
You only date top models i’d say?
I’d say that we as Man Utd supporters should set high targets for players and team to achieve.
2 goal contributions (goal or assist) per 3 games is not bad - so far 4 our players are at this level or above. And in this regard I value goals and assists equally.

He's one of the players who knows where to be in the box. I can see him getting anywhere between 12-15 goals in all compatitions. Like mctominay he will turn people in his favor.
He got 4 goals in the championship, and I can see why.
No way is he getting 15 goals this season.
He’s Ole’s little pea.
It's actually 2 goals in 2 and a quarter games
Dan James you beautiful prolific bastard.
Southampton 1:1 Man Utd
Actually plays like he wants to score goals which, contrary to how we play as a team, is rather helpful. He was great today.
Hopefully he locks down the left wing. Adds another dimension than Rashford and Martial as defenders don't know if he's going to cut in or take it down the line.
He could've had a few assists today if we had a striker that's not afraid to gamble.
Gutted for him. He’s become our best player, which is a bit of a joke. Those balls he played at the end - you’d expect at least one of them to be scored, or at least connected with, if we had a proper striker like Ruud, Rooney, RVP, Ole etc
Had a good game.
Martial is way better than Rashford as a number 9 and James looks good at the right wing.
James - Martial - new RW for next season?

Obviously raw and naïve, as seen from that mis kick when any delivery into the box in the 90th min was essential, and fouling the guy unnecessarily in the 92nd min.
But you can't beat that desire and fearlessness to knock it and run late on.
If only we had a much more polished team where he could get guidance.

Brilliant performance today, deserved about 4 assists.
Only player to come with credit today. Love him.
A positive, great signing.
Feel sorry for him that he has joined us in such a state because he could get even better.
Easily man of the match. He is incredibly raw and maybe doesn’t have the touch of others or make the correct decisions at times but given where we are as a team just needs to keep doing what he is doing.
The only bit of positivity today.
What sums up the state of this team for me is the fact the guy who’s come from mid table championship Swansea is the player who most looks like he knows what being a United player is about. Plays with urgency, confidence and intensity. Would have been fantastic under Sir Alex.
Looked like our only threat in the second half.
Great goal today. I like how he is always eager to run, and get in behind players. Though really needs to work on the final ball at times. If he can start picking players out, he is going to be deadly. Just hope he builds on that side of his game.
He's a really good player, he's still young but he showed at Swansea that he's talented.
I'm glad we've got him, just hope he can keep it up.

James is the only thing that's remotely decent about our attack at the moment.
Let that sink in: A kid who would still be playing in the Championship without a recommendation from Ryan Giggs is carrying our attack.

Did well to not get booked for being fouled today
Good goal and deserved at least one assist, only needed a striker with a brain to anticipate that round thing going across Southampton goal but sadly we have Rashford.
Apart from the obvious brilliant goal, I like the way he can really cross it with his left. If Rashford wasn’t playing like a circus clown he’d have bagged a couple of assists, too.
His transition from Championship to PL has been weirdly seamless so far.
Like, he’s gone from the player we expected to be a hopeful weapon on the bench for the last 30 minutes of a game to probably being the first name on that left hand side.

Alongside Harry, AWB and greenwood as the only player who's contract I wouldn't tear up and kick out of the club.
Love this kid, so direct, great shot and what pace. So exciting to watch.
He's been trash on the right, but very very good on the left.
He delivered many fantastic crosses today in dangerous areas, but no one there to take advantage.

Excellent today.
Trash is a little harsh, he has been one of the better performers this season and scored some belters.
Can't argue with his performances, 3 in 4 games coming in from the left is very impressive. The only one truly pulling his weight out there.
Why the feck were we not getting even close to his crosses at the end.
