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.

Anyone think Chelsea would try to hijack this one? .... 
NoAnyone think Chelsea would try to hijack this one? ....
Nop.Anyone think Chelsea would try to hijack this one? ....
Quite right.
In sympathy
They won't really be able to keep the deal in current financial year anyway, right? Even if we agree the fee today, the transfer would not be concluded for another few days as we will try to agree financials with De Jong himself.
Is he touched by madness though.shit
Nah mate, that's just wrong mate.
I just wish he would say something, anything because his silence is deafening, and the only sign he's given me is a two fingered salute and a Snapchat of his ringpiece.
I knowNah mate, that's just wrong mate.
Last day of the month today. Shout out everyone who checked their balance this morning and saw economic levers had been activated.
Why is there no pics of him in training? Busted transfer
Understandable, to be fair.We hope so
Nah, he's in Hollywood with his girlfriend.
A trip to Hollywood with the missus is surely preferable to a colonoscopy performed by Darren Fletcher. Urgh.
He's on holiday
In other news, Man Utd could win the league next year, but it depends on how many points they get.
If it’s considered probable, rather than possible, they could put an accrual into their accounts for it…so if fee is agreed but transfer not completed, Barca would probably accrue for it in this financial period.
Is the silence a good thing or a bad thing?
The agreement was announced on August 15 and the transfer was completed on August 17.
It doesn’t matter. It’s done.Is the silence a good thing or a bad thing?
I somehow doubt that - Barcelona in their LVG-prime had 8 Dutch players
Silence can be violent sorta like a slit wristIs the silence a good thing or a bad thing?
It's good. He's in Hollywood filming his welcome video. Shots of him running through explosions, punching sharks etc. There's an all star cast portraying our other players in the movie as well. Chris Hemsworth as Varane, Geronimo the Alpaca as De Gea, Peter Dinklage as Timber.Is the silence a good thing or a bad thing?
ah, straight from the murtagh school of negotiation.
that'll be why we're getting de Jong on the cheap."Oh, mierda. He send another photo but this one have him doing thumbs up beside bottle of mayonnaise, and there is rubber duck and garden hose in background. Just agree to deal and maybe he stop? I can only pull on my lever so much in a day "
They told me June 30th was going to be the day.
Is he going to play both Martinez and Timber like Tom Hardy in Legend?
A colleague at work just showed me his Facebook and his friend on there apparently saw FDJ at Venice Beach. Signed his United shirt and said “hopefully I will be in red soon” after being asked about the move.
Don't do this to us.
Barca play in red
Oooh, good thinking. That'll save us some money
