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.

But who 'deserved' to be the lowest rated? All 11 outfielders that were eligible in the vote were outstanding. Got to be the GK when the collective performance is so good that the league leaders can't even muster a shot on target.
I was so happy I just gave everyone a 10.

PFA team of the year. 3rd in a row and 4th overall. Has to be a record for a GK surely?
Peter Shilton appeared in the PFA team of the year 10 times apparently.
Great keeper and great record though I think he was very fortunate to get in PFA team this season.
He's mostly had very little to do so I wasn't expecting that.
He'll top this if he spends his career with us.
DDG's worst season for us in a while (worst = still fecking good), so was a little surprised to see him in the team.
I don't think he deserved it this season tbf. He was much better the last 3 seasons.
He was, but who deserves it ahead of him?
Not sure why he got it this year, but just shows our defenders and Herrera continue to be underrated for the work they've done.
If the spends his career with us he'll beat Giggs' appearance record - surely that must be appealing at some level. He could play 1000 matches for United!
I will choose Courtois above him this season since his team is winning the league and De Gea wasn't making his miraculous saves he did previous seasons.
Maybe, but hasn't he been a bit shaky this year or am I mixing up with last season?
He hasn't , but at the same time he was nothing special to favor him on the GK of the league winner. In previous seasons his miraculous saves were enough to put him ahead of any keeper. He didn't do anything miraculous this season to make him ahead of Courtois imo.
He'll need exactly 700 appearances. Say he makes about 40 appearances a season, he'll need another 17.5 seasons to beat it (he'll have to stay at United until he's 43/44)
As we have sorted our defence out this season he is being called on less often, that's why it appears he hasn't been as good as the last 2 seasons. When called upon he hasn't really let us down.
Don't come in here and spoil the fun with actual numbersHe'll need exactly 700 appearances. Say he makes about 40 appearances a season, he'll need another 17.5 seasons to beat it (he'll have to stay at United until he's 43/44)
Jordan Pickford has been sensational for his first season in the top flight with the worst team; he's very similar to De Gea in a lot of ways. Should Real manage to prize DDG away this summer, he should be brought in to compete with Romero. He'll be relatively cheap as well.
I'd of given it to Tom Heaton personally.
De Gea is class. I hope he is here next season. Best keeper in the world imo. It's good that we haven't had to be as reliant on him this year.

Personally, I like how short this thread is this season. He's not been called upon as much.
I also think people are somewhat exaggerating how average his season has been. People are confusing inactivity with poor performances. I don't think he's made more mistakes than usual this season but he hasn't been as active. So his mistakes are more highlighted.
Which is why I wouldn't be too bothered if we lost him, as long as Mourinho gets in a good enough replacement, which I'm almost certain he would. We don't rely on him nearly as much as before.
The idea that he's had an average season in itself is an absurd notion. Best keeper in the league again and clearly a step above Courtois who's had plenty of iffy games. When called upon he's been excellent as always.
Saw numpty saying he's not even our best keeper. fecks sake.
I love the man. That's all I have to say.
Since the transfer speculation thread is locked for some reason:
The classic "home for sale" news. Although it's The Sun.
Oh, ffs.
Did he not buy a home recently?
Would be bad news. Another new GK to buy for the summer when we have so many problems in the team to solve
VDS's ratio is insane. A clean sheet every second game, basically.
They never make sure that the player isn't or hasn't just moved to a new home.
Aye, this probably created more clicks so even if they knew, they'd probably leave it out. Although Sun don't really care much about knowing stuff.
he had prime vida and rio in front of him as well as a fast and reliable evra
Just checked to see if it's the same place as the 2015 one but he was renting in 2015, but this one is his property apparently. Maybe he's bought a new home somewhere?
Yes I'm fully aware. It's still an insane stat on paper.
He's off, don't fool yourself. Its the hope that kills 'ya
Yep bought a new home in Madrid somewhere.
Any confirmation on this?
