We don't deserve him. And I fear he knows that too.

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?
MOTM.
It's going to be a long, sad summer when this guy fecks off to Madrid (who can blame him).
Of course we do. We'll be back on top soon enough.
Another outstanding performance by him though.
He's a one man defence alright, yet some will sight our goal against record as the reason why some of these defenders at the club are of the required quality.
Who was the defender that made the hopeless pass back to De Gea for Welbeck's goal? And how many times have we seen that this season? Our defenders have been rubbish sure but its alarming how LVG has not been able to sort this out, not even a slightest hint of improvement. I think we would have definitely seen some improvement under Mourinho, Guardiola or Simeone by now. Our defense cracks at the slightest amount of pressure.
It has come to the stage when I can't really blame him if he decides to leave. He is too good for us (something that I never said before for a player).
Outstanding performance from him tonight.
The more I think about it though, the more likely I think it is that he'll leave us. Completely dependant on him all season with no chance of any silverware. Personal plaudits are all good an well but doesn't count for much when he's not lifting trophies at the end of the season. He'll head to Madrid and clean up over there. Gutted

He's just amazing. It's sad that we lost because it makes it harder to really enjoy those saves. They were brilliant. Best in the world IMO now. Can't really blame him if he leaves unfortunately.
I think it's the passing van Gaal's philosophy which made us more prone to this. Not saying that I like to hoof the ball at first occasion but certainly if we had more direct approach with good pressing we wouldn't need to be forced to do this kind of mistakes that often. I like when players are constructive but it can be costly.
Should have won motm for that save alone.
A new keeper would cost what, 20/30m? I'd happily give Dave that to stay.
This.
Should he have risked himself more and went in for the diving tackle for their 2nd goal ?
Roy Keane seemed to think so.
He basically never went fully committed to be risk averse.

No, because then Welbeck goes down and he gets sent off. All he could do was make himself big and hope Welbeck fecked the chance up - it was a nailed on goal the moment Valencia played the backpass.
And Keane will stick the boot into any United player to sound controversial. See the Nani / Real Madrid incident.
Awesome performance. I can tell the team really trusts him, and he deserves that trust too.
Best keeper in the world. No doubt about it.
There was a chance he could get a nick of the ball or referee chicken out etc..
Even sacrificing himself with free kick outside box and sure shot goal was tough call at that stage.
I am personally of the belief that if GK comes up that far out then he should go all out if he's last man by a distance. Or maybe he should have stayed little back.
Remember Sterling incident ?
Give him Falcao+rvo's salary, player of the seasom contender for me
Really gonna miss him next season. Honestly wouldn't blame him for going.
Would have gotten himself sent off if he went harder at Welbeck. Made the right decision IMO.
We don't deserve him. And he deserves better than us. If he leaves, I don't think I would blame him. It must be depressing making world class saves game after game for the defenders to regularly put him in the shit or the attack to not contribute. I think I feel sorry for him.
Contender? He is not a contender. He is the only player even close. He is light years ahead of everyone else for that award. If 1 million United fans voted on player of the season I would genuinely think it's a disservice if he didn't unanimously win it. That's how far ahead he is of everyone else.
Yes, we need him in the league, the 3rd place is worth much, MUCH more than a pissy FA trophy!
If we lost DDG for three games we might as well pack our bags.
In fairness it would have been one game. Three games is for violent conduct.
he is simply irreplaceable.
Talking about the whole PL, not United, that one is obvious, but Lloris is better ; p,
No - straight red is 3? Or am I wrong. I'm probably wrong.
Edit: I am wrong. Ignore me.
You just have to hope that he doesn't see this for what it is...a sinking ship...
.... .... .... 
Unfortunately he isn't an idiot so ...
Him and Rooney only ones to show up.
When we first signed the boy, I remember Ronaldo describing him as 'extraordinary, even if he does look like a sausage'.
And he is extraordinary. Just hope he stays and enjoys many more years of success with us.

I've always felt "we'll survive. He's just one player!" but tonight I'm starting to feel it.
Even just looking at how much he's changed physically in the few years he's been here... He's become a monster here.
Sir Alex got it right with this one.. and more than likely he'll be gone before we can truly benefit from him.
At least if he leaves, he'll have won a title. He deserves it.

If the lad is happy to be winning the Sir Matt Busby POTY award then we'll be fine. If he wants to win leagues and in europe then we'll probably lose him well before we're even close to contending for them.
Jonny Evans has accounted for at least half of those!
Far too good for us. That second save at the end from Sanchez is unreal.
