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.
You would kill our king? C’mon.
Fred
The man, the myth, the legend Scott Sterling
To be fair, he's not wrong.
Henderson is shorter than de gea who's never managed to really impose himself and command his box. So henderson is never going to be the world class keeper needed to be a successful title winning side.
He looks like a mid table level keeper and I don't see any qualities that make him stand out from any other keeper at prem or championship level. At least with De gea he proved himself season after season as the best shot stopper and won player of the season many times.
He's done a good job convincing people he's the real deal, but to me he'll end up playing at mid table club or slide down to championship level. He hasn't got the top class quality and this will be exposed over time and utd will let him go.
As for the OP matic would probably do a decent job in goal.

The legend Lee Grant
No, not /thread, the OP clearly means in the same match. We’re not going to have two gks on the bench in the Prem.
I could see McTominay being put in nets, if only because he’d be brave/daft enough to block shots with his face.
Rashford
He had a poor game, he wasn't alone in that aspect. You may be right in the long run but I also think you might be writing him off far to quickly. Its interesting you bring de gea into it as a comparison who looked like a rabbit in the headlights at times in his first couple of seasons so much so that plenty of fans thought he should be loaned to a championship club, and he was playing in a better side behind a much better defence.
Give the lad a chance and a little bit of time before you throw him in the scrap heap, if he doesn't make it here he will still be PL level he's certainly not championship level.
We have done regularly this season. Go back a month or two and check the line ups.
Matic or McTominay. At the very least get someone quite long in there.
Calamity James.
So I’ve gone through every PL bench this season and we’ve done it once, against Brighton at home.
Wow, you must have more time in your hands than me. Congratulations.
Dan James and Fred toss a coin who goes in
So your response to someone telling you you are incorrect is to criticise them. Good chat.Wow, you must have more time in your hands than me. Congratulations.
Clean sheet O'Shea, of course!
Maybe have a read through this joke of a thread and then consider why I’m reticent to engage with your pedantry.
Rooney.
De Gea was 21, coming to a new country. Henderson is 24 and has already played an entire PL season. It’s obviously very different playing for United than Sheffield but if we’re going to replace a World Class keeper, it better be as close to a sure thing as possible, and Henderson seems 50/50 at best.
We're not replacing a world class keeper though, not anymore. It's been three years now since De Gea was at that level.
