In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
There was just so much positives from that game. It was overwhelmingly good.
Said it after the Galatasaray game. The front line looks more potent and fluid without him stinking it by not making runs or moves to create space for others.
I've criticized him for his selection before, so I'll praise him for this one. Got it spot on tonight. Made a good sub with Lindelof too. He needs to make Rashford earn his spot in the team. One match on the bench isn't enough.
Seeing the players who can put a shift in, it's now up to Erik to continue to play those same players.
Keep Rashford on the bench.
Keep Rashford on the bench.
The team just looks better when without any joggers. Almost as if it's contagious. Rashford and Martial cannot be anywhere near the first team.
Ten Hag in his post match presser
That was a brilliant performance, the way we pressed and attack was beautiful to watch. Should have scored 5-6 goals.
Great display! I think its obviouswhile there is some talent, this squad is limited and only produces when everyone is on the same page, working their socks off. What a difference without Rashford up front. Antony might never be a galactico, but man did he put in the power. As did all. if ETH has limitations as a doF and picking transfers, as a manager and coach he does have what it takes and tonight was miles and miles better and modern than ive seen from ogs, jose and lvg. I hope the new owners will give eth some much needed backing in the scouting and transfers and then, who knows. that mctominay. Loved it!
Good today!
Thought the decision to use McTominay higher up and Bruno deeper was wise. Dropping Rashford was the right choice and subbing off Lindelof at half time was a good move.
If today is his preferred approach, I have no complaints. Just have to show it more often.

I totally agree, I was sh*tying it we’d not win it after deserving it.
I just feel like we’ve gotten no real breaks and a lot of setbacks , some self inflicted and some unlucky. I just want to see ETH get some breaks , some players to come back from injury and to see what a functioning ETH team can do.
I’m really rooting for ETH
Ha ha ha,
F**ck you MEN and all the other coksucking bottom feeders trying to make out “50%” of the dressingroom is against the manager
Yeah, same.
I don't think he can have us seriously competing again (who can? a valid question),
and he's having a shit 2nd season and, his signings leave a lot to be desired.
But I quite like him.
I'll wish him well in a couple of months once he gets the chop.

Maybe ETH finally listened to the players and did light training sessions.
50% is a wild number.
Things clearly changed tonight. It’s not like we played the same game but executed it better, we were just way different to what we had been prior to now. This was more like the team that we saw post World Cup which was so encouraging and that everyone liked. Hope we stay on this path.
Go on Erik!
Beat Bournemouth on Saturday, announce the takeover Monday before Bayern and the momentum could just keep going and going for us. We need to maintain this positivity.
Just keep playing this way. This is all we want to see.
Interesting that McTominay made the point about 'light training sessions'.
I imagine some of the players are equally as sick of it all as we fans are. McTominay strikes me as a good character. Partly why I felt EtH made an error in (seemingly) trying to get rid of him and Maguire - they are what they are as players, they're never going to be his type of player...but they're never going to down tools or not give 100%

Only 3pts behind City 
Truly is bizzare at the same time. And we still haven't drawn a league game.

Feels good tonight! Positivity for once. Sick of seeing people call for ETH to be sacked. I’m still a believer that he’s the right man for this job. He’s brought discipline back. Giving youngsters a chance. The players are obviously still fighting for him. Even if we get beat to Liverpool in a couple of week I’ll still be behind this man!
Very happy for him. Excellent game. Started the players who cares, some of them, we know it aren't good enough if we're to challenge again one day for the title. Other players could never developp to this level too. But put the players who cares, will fight and have the right attitude is a basic thing to do.
Loved the Shaw at LCB thing when he felt we were so exposed on the break.

Hope he sticks to his guns and leaves Rashford out for the foreseeable, the performance tonight gives him all the power to do so and shows how important it is to have the right attitude throughout the team.

and to think we've only bad luck & VAR f*cked us over withHe seems to have found the role for McTominay with this box busting, and it's working against teams with weaker midfields and where the pressing line is working.
Not sure it's something I'd do against Liverpool, Arsenal or City... But I may be proven wrong on that.

Very good performance. Delighted for ETH. The team need to keep the foot to the floor for the rest of the season now.
It’s not about leaving him out for x amount of time, it’s about demanding a level of performance to win a place in the side. Rashford after last season deserved a chance to play into form but he hasn’t taken it and should now have to play his way back into the side.
He went full on Bielsa for some of that 1st half even Harry was getting forward
He should never have been brought on tonight . Rewarding mediocrity is shite
One thing that is impressive is despite it all he can scrape results. He strikes me more of a results man than anything, and I'm saying that relatively to the non existent attack this season, 72% win ratio in all comps last year, cup finals, getting over the line in his last season at Ajax while heavily linked to leaving for us and winning the league while pushed very hard to the end. Adaptable in trying circumstance when first joining and hanging on in there points wise this year.
There's been a very lax culture at United. Like Andy Mitten said, he knows what's needed, whether he can do enough we'll see. Getting top 4 seems very difficult but normally PL seasons are very up and down outside the top 2.
What we can't do is accommodate players not trying, we should help them off the pitch where possible, leave them out if there's trying circumstances in their private life or move them on. We tried with Lingard for a full season. This is Manchester United, we need 11 out there, if you have issues then don't play, it's up to the manager as well to not just keep hoping.
