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.

That face.
Crikey, footballers careers are pretty short, so I'm sure they'll be able to save up a few
Because what the player wants and what the player might end up getting are two different situations. In an ideal world he might like to live in London instead of Manchester but what's he going to do if Barcelona tell him he won't kick a football for them ever again and United are the only team that's in for him? Something has to give in that instance that Mitten explained clearly.
That face says done deal. And yes, you are spot on. Oh no I have to live in Manchester and earn shitloads.That face.
Crikey, footballers careers are pretty short, so I'm sure they'll be able to save up a fewpenniesmillions to live in Catalonia once again.
Who do we go for when this deal fails tomorrow morning? Looking at it logically we still need a midfielder, and Dutch one would be ideal. But since there's literally zero other decent Dutch midfielders we should go for one from a country that Holland is 100% totes legit super friendly with; Belgium. Because they fecking love one another, so they do.
Basically our best option is a player by the name of Fellaini. Thoughts?!

This will be wrapped up next week.
Almost 1200 pages and not any closer. This will end way past 2000.
Fair enough, that makes sense. But surely ten Hag must be aware that were not his first choice and if some like Chelsea did come in, he'd go there right away? In that case, why stick around knowing we could wait until the final days of the window just to get hijacked at the last moment and lose out?
Ten Hag must have some pretty solid assurances, I just couldn't see him allowing us to sit around like this if he thought we could lose out to another club in the blink of an eye? The likelihood of any other team coming in is very slim, but its still possible
Fellaini will only move on transfer deadline day if there are no other offers for him.
We are closer than ever.
Over 95% will that's news to me..
I feel so embarrassed looking up her story but the muppet in me couldn't resist.
I feel she is perhaps one of the reasons why he doesn't want to leave Barcelona. She seems to genuinely love the city.
I sense she might get frustrated with Manchester and this might get to FDJ.
A bad start to the season and United are gonna start shitting themselves.
Barcelona will need to sell before then if they want players registered.
Mitten ? 50/50 if he comes? He’s guessing
Well, as Mitten explained in the 7 minutes worth of podcast you should probably listen to instead of us going back and forth, Ten Hag must have some info we don't, and there are lots of other clubs interested for £50m but none are interested for what United are willing to pay, and that includes Chelsea, although, never say never. What Barcelona want is for Chelsea to make a bid for the same value United have and they think they could ship him out the door.
Maybe the fact we're not moving for another midfielder is to show De Jong how much we value him over the other clubs so that he feels some sense of loyalty should push come to shove.
would certainly be interesting if Espanyol came in with a bid.
I would listen to the 7 minutes worth of audio content if I were you.
That's a random thought. Care to add any context?
The 50/50 thing says enough.
I would listen to it, but I don't have the chance too at the moment hence the back and forth. I guess if that's the case then, we just have to hope that no one jumps in at the last moment and thinks that he's worth what we're willing to pay, otherwise its not going to end well.
I really don't think Chelsea are going to come in for him at all, they don't need him and Bayern have ruled themselves out too.
I'll listen to the podcast when I get a moment
Its understood a professional footballer may have to move for his career, Mikkey for sure knows this. It is a short career, when Frenkie is 35 they can live wherever the feck they want for 40+ years.
Embrace the muppetry my friend, I’ve just had to get my wife to help me
Talk about ignoring reality and substituting your own because you don't like it.Big day tomorrow.
She certainly does look extremely miserable on her story, almost as if she's absolutely gutted about something. Might just be her resting bitch face, but who knows...Embrace the muppetry my friend, I’ve just had to get my wife to help memuppet pervecheck out her Insta to see what’s going down. (I could work it, not on it and she loves that sort of trivial crap!) These things are necessary sometimes.
Ah okay, no worries.
It seemed pretty sure that we aren't going to get robbed on the final day or something unless we decide to pull out, although Carl Anka was pretty worried about that potentially happening. Barcelona want what they paid for him (75m) and United are desperate enough to go there in order to land the player, everyone else wants to take advantage of Barcelona's situation and get the player for around 50m, which could happen if we pull out of the deal. At the moment we're putting other clubs off bidding for him because they can't compete financially. I think we're safe but it's really down to the player being forced out now and accepting that Barcelona are a shit show, and he's better off elsewhere.
Barcelona is legit one of the best cities in Europe / the world. We can all have debates about living in London vs Manchester, but Barca vs Manchester has only one winner.
You could pay somebody 40k per year to cook you tapas every day whether you're in Spain or Iceland (or Manchester).
Barcelona is okay. Bit of a tourist ridden dump in many ways (in my opinion).
Our XI isn't good enough and our squad depth is poor.
We're an injury away from McTominay being a regular and Elanga being a regular.
If we start the season badly, I can see us willing to stump up the cash (partly) that De Jong is holding out for.
Does it?
I live in Manchester and I can tell you with all honesty I'd rather live here any day. Maybe it's because I've been here all my life, but I love this city and always will do
Yeh if you hang around the tourist ridden parts. You could say the same for most cities (well ones that tourists go to)
Thought the deal was already agreed and we're waiting for Barca to sort it with FdJ
The deal between clubs is done.
thats the spirit
