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.

It gets a bit depressing, the most recent set of revelations...
So do I, but there not signing me.
Yes Manchester is much better. I don't know what the fascination is with London it's a terrible place.
This is also a fair point.
I suppose it comes down to EtH and his belief in the current squad.
However it plays out, I'm still going to optimistic. The biggest signing we could have made this season was EtH. With him in the building, im confident.
Ey? We’ve not been in for him at all. Certainly not a whole season. We had shown some interest in recent weeks but that was it.
ETH does not conduct transfer negotiations.
If he names a player he'd like to add to the team and that player turns out to be a very tricky transfer - that isn't on him.
If we spend months trying to land him, and it turns out it was never likely to happen, that isn't on him either.
Or - it shouldn't be.
His job is to coach the players and select the best XI - ideally, he shouldn't have anything to do with transfers at all beyond, of course, recommending certain targets he feels would improve us.

It's funny how much heat you are taking for this. You went over the top, but it's correct, EtH wanted Brobbey, we made an enquiry, he wanted to go to Ajax, end of story, but it happened.
That couldn’t be further from the truth. They are on complete opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to manager personality.
No they are different places
Is this a joke? 3 of them have never kicked a ball in the PL, and one of the ones that has is shite.
What a terrible post
Football is fun for sure but I don’t enjoy watching United plunged in the abyss of darkness for so long with no end in sight. Our recruitment policy has been terrible and this De Jong story again, and again and again.... I still do not understand why United refuse to accept the situation and move on to an alternative target. If Chelsea pull this off it will be the most embarrassing thing for United.
People need to calm the feck down 
Do you realise what forum you're on?People need to calm the feck down
Never gonna happen

Can't take these posts serious.......glazer puppet now
Didn't take long for some to turn on him
Since Gill's retirement, United's board have easily been the most clueless at getting transfers done efficiently and quickly. First window where they chased their tail endlessly and only ended up getting Felliani at HIGHER than his release clause didn't bode well. You'd think they'd get better by now but. nope. Bruno took 2 transfer windows, Sancho a full year and the De Jong saga is a complete farce.
The temptation to descend into a state of panic must be resisted.
Surely this is a burner account of a rival fan.
Some subtle hints in this post
Nice one. Tell me something I don’t know.
Sounds fun.
I wonder if EtH now looks in the mirror and says this to himself each morning.
By reading all these depressing posts I understand why word "muppets" is so popular here.
People, relax - life is beautiful. Season is almost here and we are going to OK. FDJ announcement is coming within a week.

De Jong to Bayern well I didn't see that option coming, they spent big on De Ligt though, don't see them spending big money in the summer. They don't need to.
Lack of reassuring quotes coming from United sources after this news. Likely we're waiting for a replacement signing before briefing that we're out of the run-NO Pidgy bad Pidgy hold the line HOLD THE LINE.
If you’re happy with a top 10 finish
The Bayern rumour is total BS.
Once Marcus Alonoso's transfer to Barca is complete, the FDJ saga will definitely end, whether good or bad. That will be in one or two days according to circulating rumours. We should move on to someone else, if we can't pull off this deal by early next week, IMO.

Let’s say this is true, all the news is true over the last month. At what point do United simply remove themselves from the race even if we are his last choice?
It must be hard for muppets to still want him?
But won’t somebody please think of the children!!
Remember when they wanted to avoid the 3rd lever? Now it’s a fourth plus sales on top.
There’s a feck up somewhere that seems to be suppressed. Must be another 250m at least

Not sure if you realize but this has gone far beyond just football. Everyone has a personal motivation to see this through, one way or another.
Sounds like a horrible B production movie... followed by Plunged in the abyss of darkness 2 (which was naturally even worse)
Yeah. He’s not coming. I’ve accepted my fate
I tell you why!
ETH is another Glazer puppet in charge.
He supports players we know are dross.
He insists on players who dont want to come.
He will just create another Pogba situation if you ask me!
It's ridiculous!
Do like me and dont start to trust and stand behind ETH! If things will go wrong, we will be the first who are right!
You don't mean that! Stay strong my friend.
No white text? Wth? Sewey……… Nooo!
