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.

Isn't that the infamous referee who screwed up our match against Real Madrid when he sent off Nani? I think Die Mannschaft will actually do well this tournament and make a deep run despite not many giving them any chance. They are playing all their group matches at home as well. Portugal should beat Hungary and I'm going for a 2-2 draw with Les Bleus and Die Mannschaft.
France vs Germany 
Not hearing much noise about the Germans this time. France, England and Belgium seem to be people's choices.

Finally a cracking game, Germany vs France. God I hope zhe Germans win.
Portugal X Hungary should be as good as the 2016 game.
France v Germany to cap off the first round of games is nice, expect France to turn them over but should be a class one to watch
Auf gehts Deutschland.
My #1 and 2 favourites by far are France and Portugal, and I haven't seen anything from the remaining teams to change my mind on any of them apart from Italy who look excellent and would be my #3. France with their in-fighting though, Germany have more than enough talent to take advantage and punish that and cause an "upset". Portugal needs to get off to a strong start and even though they are a very good side, anything can happen in big games so if they feck up vs Hungary, then it could well be curtains early doors even if they're my choice to win the Euro's.
France are on very good odds to beat Germany

Apparently the Budapest games will be full capacity? That will be great to see.
Are Pepsi sponsoring him , I can imagine a few angry faces in Atlanta
To be fair. The very act of him moving the Coke is pretty much free advertising to them. It's going to get shared and shown everywhere. I think they're probably pleased he did itAre Pepsi sponsoring him , I can imagine a few angry faces in Atlanta
Is it though ? This is one of the world's most recognised brands. It looks more like drink water, not coke. Which I fully endorse by the way.To be fair.

I don't think there is any in fighting within the team, the press would love it though. But I have a gut feeling that France will disappoint.
"There is no such thing as bad publicity" or something along those lines.
People will look at it subconsciously and be like I want a Coke..
Yes, if you dont have brand awareness. Which coca cola has plenty.
What’s with the infighting about? The handbags between Mbappe and Giroud in the media after the Bulgaria game?
Of course but it will drive sales not reduce them.
You are Dutch aren't you? Surprised you will be rooting for your biggest rival.
Mbappe Giroud stuff overblown? Only read a bit of it, not sure if it's just a minor thing.
Overblown is an understatement particularly when Giroud didn't even mention Mbappé. I'm paraphrasing but a journalist asked Giroud why he was invisible before his first goal, Giroud in his usual salty tone answered that there was no difference in his performance after the goal and that he just didn't receive the ball before it. From that comment the press started a Mbappé versus Giroud conflict.
Very hard to win back to back tournaments (world cup and euros, or even back to back euros for Portugal). The top 2 squads so one of those will happen imo, but I pretty much never bet on a defending champ.
Ah fair
So from an England POV are we hoping France just sweep this group & we take Portugal or Germany in the knockouts? It’s kind of stupid you’re punished for winning the group & rewarded for finishing 2nd.
I want to beat the Germans so badly.
Knowing our so-so performances in the group stages of the competition, I can see a draw with Germany and growing in strength over Hungary and Portugal.
67 thousand crazy hungarians in the stadium after a year of no fans... I can already hear the booing.
No Cancelo and we usually have trouble breaking down teams too, I honestly think we’re more likely than not dropping points tomorrow especially since we always start tournaments with a poor result.
The last time we won our opening game at a tournament was in 2008
All about Hungary today. Come on, boys!
The day this tournament finally really starts! 
The anomisity has died down a bit over the last 2 decades. Sure they're still rivals, but no longer hated rivals. I just really dislike the French team and the crap football they manage to play with the most stacked squad in history.
Yep. Utterly stupid England get an easier draw for finishing 2nd.
Yeah, our government has apparently decided that football makes you immune to Covid or something. Admittedly, only people with vaccine certificates (or negative PCR test in the case of foreign fans) can get into the stadium - but you get those after a single vaccination. I've had two so I'm not unduly worried about myself but it's still a bit weird.
Also, the procedure to get in is... unusual. You have to get to one of three checkpoints, preferably on the day before the day of the game, where you can pick up a wristband if you produce your ID and your vaccine certificate. They don't need the match ticket at this point, you have to show that and the wristband at the stadium itself.
I'm not really convinced that this will make getting into the stadium any faster - besides, we have those 'entry time slots' on the ticket for a reason.
Not going to happen. It really looks ike we're playing the same Kroos/Gündogan combo, that got overrun so gloriously by Spain. It'll be a thrashing.
In the opening game? Doubt it. Probably be quite cagey, but a France lowkey win.
France will maul us...
Apologies if this has been confirmed elsewhere but is Dalot in the squad as a temporary replacement for Cancelo until Cancelo’s quarantine is over or has he permanently replaced him?
