Why would United fans not get how it works? We’ve been dumped numerous times, even when we’re at the top of the game. Hazard’s better than Chelsea I’m afraid!

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.

They might try, but time wasting that would be. PSG wont sell either and Madrid wont drop 200m on one of them when they can get Hazard for half the price. They have other positions to worry about too. They need someone to replace Benzema and another midfielder to replace Modric/Kroos on top of Hazard.
RM should spend 100m on Hazard and around 100M on Lewa and they will be right back in the game
Straight swap for Rashford and Martial.
Why are all the best players left sided these days? I'd say it's because right footers like cutting in, but even left footers don't seem to like the right side.
50, 60 m plus Lukaku! Get it done!
That's not even funny
What a terrible deal.
50, 60 m isn't enough mate
We would 100% drop 200m on neymar/mbappé over 100m on hazard. The problem is we could offer 200 billions and PSG would still say no
That's not even funny
True
He wouldn’t leave us for any other club bar Madrid. About as much chance of you signing Hazard as we have of starting next season with a front 3 of Messi Neymar and Mbappe.
The flirting with Madrid just needs him to paint his hole with lipstick at this stage.
Love to know what Chelsea fans are making of it all.

So, you are saying there is a chance
Would be interesting to see him go to PSG.
Hazard - Neymar - Mbappe could be awesome.
But then again, It's really more likely to be Madrid, right?

Why only now? He's been talking about Madrid for what seems like years. I mean, he's not even dropping hints. He's pretty much telling them to buy him.
Everyone is aware he wants to go to Madrid for a long time. Only question is if they offer the asking price we want for him in the summer. If they do he's off.
We have him under contract till the end of next season when he'll be pushing 30.
I don't blame him for wanting to go there, will have a good chance for a CL medal. I expect Real Madrid to make a couple of Marquee signings. I'm sure they'll be in for Neymar or Mbappe and probably some others as well.

Didn't realize his contract was up so soon. Basically if he holds on to next January you're gonna have to sell him and on the cheap too.
I doubt Hazard wants to come here but how would you feel about selling him to United over Madrid if one was to offer £100m and the other just wants him to force a move for free?
Think they are beginning to realise he's not going to renew. Looks very similar to the Courtois situation.
That's why he's pushing for Madrid now. He'll have one year left in the summer, so makes sense for us to sell him then. I think our asking price will be about £100m~. Pretty certain he only wants to go to Madrid, is settled with us. Just has ambition to play for Los Blancos, like Ronaldo, and I doubt he'd go anywhere else. I think secondarily he also wants a CL medal and given there recent record looks like a reasonable bet, even if they're in transition at the moment.
Wondering if they might try and offload Bale as part of the deal. Given his huge wages, is 30 in the summer and injury proneness Madrid will find it very hard to shift him, if they want to.
If Madrid want him and offer the Money he'll go. If they don't want him very confident he'll sign a massive contract and stay. Simple as that. No chance he renews before exhausting all possible options of going to Madrid though.
Should've left Chelsea in 2015, if not 2017. It's hard to say a player who's won two league titles has been wasting his career but Hazard is the caliber of player who should be winning Champions Leagues, not spending multiple seasons playing in the Europa League.
Hope he doesn’t go to Madrid.
If I was him I’d just go at the end of the season when his contract's up. No one can really complain then, he’s fulfilled his end of the bargain.
Cant say I blame them, it's just embarrassing his come get me plea's to Madrid
If there is truth to this twitter thread then his attitude is a joke

Depends on your perspective. Hazard has always been very open that he has no desire to be the best in the world and I suspect that's where the frustrations his previous managers have always had with him come from, the fact that he has the potential to be the best in the world but just doesn't have the drive to do so
It's been known for ages. He has a laissez-faire attitude to his game.
The funny thiing is he seemed to reinforce Sarri's point. A player with his mentality won't do well at Real Madrid.
Really? Three of the best players in the world playing in the most one-sided league in the world. One that noone really cares about either. I think it would be a shame, just like it is with Neymar and Mbappe.
Sure, but it would be fun to see what they could do together.
Agreed. Go to France if you want to be paid well and never considered for a major honour ever again. It's the China of Europe.
Then why he wants to come to Madrid. I would understand that he sees Madrid as a way to obtain the recognition he believes he deserves, not to be another lazzy genius profile.
To each their own. I find it depressing to have two of the top 10 players in the world running around in a largely irrelevant league winning 9-0 against cannon fodder. Imo, the best players should play in the biggest leagues. I get your point, though.
Hazard is a dribble merchant. Doesn’t score enough goals.
And he’s a cnut. Can’t stand his face.
Feck him off to Real so I don’t have to see his mug in our league anymore.

Hazard and Real Madrid are a match made in heaven, just as Ronaldo and Real were, we all know it's going to happen.
Meh. Champions League is where it’s at anyway.
After his recent comments where he has mentioned that goals, assists, and trophies don't motivate him and he only wants to have "fun" on the football field, I doubt RM will want him anywhere near their squad. Expectations are sky-high among the bernabeu faithfuls. They want goals, and trophies and not players whose primary interests are to have "fun". Ronaldo was booed for a 4 match goal drought, ffs. Hazard with this type of attitude will be eaten alive if he indeed ends up in Madrid.
Good points but I think the 'fun' comments are taken out of context, anyhow I'm not too bothered about him, he's not ending up at United.....lock the thread ?
Did you consider that maybe this is the reason why he is so good? That he actually truly enjoys what he is doing and just so happens to be paid for it? It's not exactly a secret that people perform better - for various psychological reasons - when they enjoy what they are doing. Not everyone can be a work-beast like Ronaldo. In fact, only very few are. Those are the people you give an axe and put them in a forest and they will come out only after the entire forrest has been chopped into pieces. For the bigger majority motivation is a key factor, though. And enjoyment helps with motivation.
Not saying he will or will not make it, if he goes to Real. But you can look at things in different lights. A good example here would be Özil who easily is talented enough to be world-class, but clearly lacks the Ronaldo-esque drive, but also the enjoyment on the field to go past the level of Arsenal.
Of course I do not expect a Cristiano, but I would not like that he assumes the attitude of Bale either: I do my job but do not ask me to be the leader.
If Madrid have not spent so much money in years I think they are expecting something special, the face of the project, a candidate for the ballon d'or, an extra step in his career.
Even contradicting his statements I want to think that he is coming to show that he is at another level,and recognition.
I don't think that he leaves his comfort zone (perhaps losing money) simply for fulfilling a child's dream or for changing the league.
Even Isco, also a very special character genuinely believes that he deserves to be a candidate for the ballon d'or.
In my opinion he will need more selfishness to improve his competitiveness.
Whenever I see him entertains me a lot but honestly the only reason I want to sign him is the love and desire he has shown in playing in Madrid.
I think that as a fan I am a little in debt to him.
Seeing the squad I think that will cut the progression of Vinicius and will sentence even more to Isco.
