In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Wasting wages on a player for 3-4 months, whilst also paying his club money to allow him stay with us and not play, so we can waste wages on him.
Ed Woodward the genius strikes again, money is nothing to him, he can do things other clubs can only dream of.
For some strange reason I keep remembering the experienced player helping the young player settling down argument told by various journalists a few weeks back. Are we heading to us signing two Uruguayan players ( Cavani and Pellestri)?
- He will cost the same as Igahlo
- Not being funny but reckon he’s got a better pedigree and will bring more experience
- It’s only 2 years contract
- Martial/Rashford/Greenwood can’t not learn from him
Writing him off before he’s even kicked a ball? Nice
he's a decent player and might be half decent if he doesn't half a season injured.
It's the deal I have issues with. He was available for months and we leave it right to the end to sign him, while giving his agent a massive fee and get him on big wages. If that's not desperation I don't know what is.

Woodward and Matt Judge are absolute baffoons, if they end up paying 10M euros to the agent and £200kpw to Cavani.
I wonder if Matt Judge knows that the aim of the game is to pay as little as possible, not the opposite.
Also, if Cavani does get £200kpw, will he be on more that Bruno Fernandes? Have I got this right?
I actually hope that happens, just for the memes.What if he’s given the number 7 tomorrow
We will soon hear how Solskjaer talked to Forlan about him.

You're making zero sense, unless you think we should not have extended him at the time and risked having only on striker for the following season
If the experience knows the league and the club well enough. Here Cavani is as new as the other guy to English football and Manchester...
No that can't be true because it goes against the caf narrative.
If we pay him £200kpw, his wage will be one of the biggest in the EPL.
How are we getting him on low wages? We are paying ridiculously high wages to a 33 year old.
Nobody else will pay him that.
Ole philosophy blah blah
I know that, the point I'm making is that having 2 backup strikers sort of hints that our transfer planning is a bit all over the place.
If we were planning on signing Cavani why extend Ighalo?
Just all seems a bit disjointed, no clear strategy, or worse, we are failing to implement our actual strategy and abandoning it and panic buying.
I've no real problem with signing Cavani if it's part of a concrete plan, but don't think it is. And if he's our last buy in this window the board have serious questions to answer.
Still hope he succeeds here mind.
likely on more than Bruno. People are so used to stupid Glazernomics now they see 200k good value for a back up striker nobody else would pay for all summer. i assume these big round numbers are just easier to calculate for our negotiators
Imagine he goes on a goal scoring spree.
Can he do a job at CB?
No it implies we are planning ahead for Ighalo leaving, not bringing in a replacement for Ighalo this window would have been poor planning
It's not really out of the question, after all, he's a prolific goalscorer.
Haven’t they changed their tune in the last couple of hours from mega wages to great deal? Maybe the early rumours of huge wages were off the mark after all.
Worst run club in the PL.
It doesn't matter what Kane could be paid; the fact of the matter is Vardy, Kane, Mane, Salah, the best performing forwards in the league, are on less. It doesn't matter how that is spun, it is a serious misuse of funds and precisely why we are in the predicament we are in.
Players must justify that kind of money, via performance or reputation. Rooney was booted out of the club because his wage was no longer justifiable - Cavani no longer has the standing, which is why nobody else in Europe went near him, until we bumbled onto the scene with our desperate selves.
See above. You can count on one hand forwards on more money than that in the league. All of them at least have logic behind what they're paid, too. Cavani hasn't been able to find a club because he's no longer a forward clubs are prepared to risk those kind of wages on.
Why do people keep banging on about crosses? We aren't signing a lamp post. Anyone ever watched the guy play at all?
Anyone comparing Cavani to Zlatan, clearly haven't followed French football. As far apart in style, leadership, fitness and where their career are at the time they had this move.
We should've been doing that from the moment we signed him, not 2 days before the window closes.
He's arguably better than most forwards in the league.
So Cavani's previous numbers were 9 (PSG) and 7 (Napoli and Palermo).
Imagine the outrage if Cavani becomes our #7.
Imagine the outrage if Cavani becomes our #7.
I'd rate Woodward for his trolling skillsWhat if he’s given the number 7 tomorrow
So it makes sense paying, apparently, a worthless player, paying his club so he stays for a few matches more and then don't even play again after signing Cavani?
I'm sure that was the genius master-plan all along, only people with 200 IQ can understand the reasoning behind our club's inability to spend money efficiently.
everyone is laughing at large parts of our fanbase.
That's not really what the people who actually follow french football have been reporting. It's been nothing but positive .
If he was the cherry on top to a Summer that included Sancho, DVDB and Telles, I'd be somewhat impressed. Right now it feels like utter, utter panic.

That’s how this works right?
Our fans are such babies. Never know what they actually want. This forum can be such a joke at times.
That would actually be pretty funny in fairnessWhat if he’s given the number 7 tomorrow
Rightly so. Imagine being so entitled and childish that your weekend is ruined by the club signing the wrong striker when that striker is on a free and only recently left one of the competitive clubs in Europe as their all time top scorer.
