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.
Came on and ran into people.
Pretty worrying that we were linked with him.
plenty of our fans were furious we didn’t sign him
The majority. Having never watched him. Based on one season where he massively over performed.
I actually thought he'd at least get goals for them, with everything else being poor. But he looks absolute dirt at the moment. Doesn't help that the team isn't looking right, but the faith in him doesn't seem exactly great right now.
Has your fan base given up on him already or are they still holding out hope?
they’ll be telling themselves he’ll come good… which for 100 million euros, he’ll need to at a club who don’t exactly have huge transfer funds in reserve.
Although these posts are looking like they were very harsh on Lukaku, to be fair.
I’m normally willing to give players time but I think he’s a flop and will never be this goal scorer we want him to be. Klopp made a mistake signing him as Mane’s replacement.
Diaz was the Mane replacement surely? Nunez is the Andy Carroll replacement we all were hoping for for so long
Yeah that's a fair assessment at this stage I'd imagine, klopp definitely got ahead of himself with this one.
Maybe you lot end up getting some value out of him using him as a workhorse, lack of effort is surely not one of his shortcomings.
He’s completely different to the attackers klopp has signed. Will bang a few goals in no doubt, but he just doesn’t fit with the archetype of Klopps Liverpool.
A totally different player to both the Firminho role and the Mane one.
Not quite sure what Klopp was thinking with this. Was it to better utilise the 50 crosses a game TAA and Robertson pump in?
Between the Mane out and this guy in combo though, it's been a pretty poor trade off so far.

They're still waiting on Le Tallac to become better than Cristiano Ronaldo
That's a name I hadn't heard in a while!
ffs
About time this lot signed a dud. Makes it even sweeter the fact it’s their record signing at £85 fecking million!
Heres hoping their Board wont drop the 100m+ for Bellingham next year as a result of this dud.
Uruguayan Lukaku
You and me and everyone else who watches the Portuguese League regularly said the same.
Genuinely it feels like Liverpool went for him on the basis of their tie against Benfica in the CL, which not coincidentally was the only thing informing their fans' opinion of Nunez. Absolutely baffling.
Eventually they weren't going to get away with always signing Southampton's best players.About time this lot signed a dud. Makes it even sweeter the fact it’s their record signing at £85 fecking million!
I mean....have we jumped the gun a bit here on the dud labelling? He's barely played.
He's barely played.That’s mostly because he head butted a guy in his first home appearance and got banned.I mean....have we jumped the gun a bit here on the dud labelling?
Fully convinced myself he’s a flop and we’ll get nothing good out of him. The way he plays doesn’t suit us at all. No touch or passing ability.
Liverpool should have gone for Laturo Martinez for that price. He would have suited Liverpool perfectly with his link up and intensity. There was reports that Inter were open to selling him if the offer was right. He just seems a miles better fit than Nunez.
Mejbri came on for us against your lot, kicked someone in the leg, and was widely lauded for it across the site. Nothing wrong with a bit of pashun, once as he learns to harness it . He's still yong and lernin'. I dearly, dearly hope he is shite though.
Would you take £40mill for him now?
£50 million and he’s yours (inflation etc).
I actually think Ivan Toney would’ve made a lot of sense.
I always thought he was just another Lukaku, and was against the idea of spending big on him. Majority of our fans did want him here badly though.
He’s only scored 14 goals assisting 3, contributing directly too 17 goals in 8 games
Its not that impressive……

Nunez?
It’s great they overpaid massively and even better he actually looks terrible.
They will be lumbered with him too as can’t see them doing a Chelsea like with Lukaku.

Ahh I appear to have posted in the wrong thread
He's such a wasteman
DeepFake?
Remember when Sky were hyping Haaland v Nuñez as an actual battle
There were two occasions today where the goalkeeper anticipated a better strike.
One, Henderson floated a ball over the top and nunez took a nice first touch and could have aimed anywhere, but with his strong foot managed to hit it straight at mcgregor who had dived to one of the corners expecting to have to work for his save.
Then, he was through on goal and from about 18 yards and took an early shot with his left foot, again mcgregor anticipated a better shot so dived to his right but nunez again hit it right down the middle.
Both were pathetic attempts from a striker to be honest. He's just not good.

He’s just an awful player. Who scouted him as a 100m player?
Nah he's feckin uselessI mean....have we jumped the gun a bit here on the dud labelling?
He doesn’t aim from what I see. So many shots are straight on as if he’s just concentrating on getting the ball away. No little side foot finishes etc, just through the laces.
He's so bad. Replace him with Mane and Liverpool are 3-0 up at half time.
