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.

Romero is doing better than ever. He has become very famous in Spain thanks to Twitch and Ibai.
Zubimendi.
Didn't he recently put out that he wanted to stay at Barcelona for another decade? Can we move on to more achievable targets?
This again? Ah well. Why not?
Almost certain that he doesn’t want to leave Barcelona.
Its back on muppets! Can we get a 1000 page thread again?
I would have thought getting a striker was more important than spunking on De Jong
Our midfield needs even more energy and bite - I am not sure this guy is the right player for us. Hope I'm wrong of course.
Have you ever seen him play? He plays with loads of energy and puts himself about.
reckon I've been unlucky in that every time I watch him I barely notice him. Maybe that's his strength? Does all the work but largely goes unnoticed until he's not playing at it becomes obvious he's missing?
No ticket? Get off at the next stop
Pull the handbrake!
Please buy Frenkie!
The train is going slowly for now, you can jump here before it picks up speed
Always.
I lost the passion for this in the summer.
Frenkly my dear I don’t give a damn now.
Frenkly my dear I don’t give a damn now.
Straight to jail!
Yes. And we must get a speed on if we’re going to exceed the post count of the last Frenkie thread.
Interesting. He any good?
New owners and this is back on, current owners were going nowhere except maybe 4th. We’ll struggle to get any major targets.
Please not again. ETH needs to move on. There are other options out there.
Name 3
Matic, McTominay, Fred. whitetext
The Enzo chap that just won the world cup seems quite good? Jude Bellingham? Amrabat from Morocco? Why are we fixated on him? Is there no one we can get to play the way we want? If this is true, isn't it a risk? That we can function as a football team unless we have niche players in specific roles. No thanks for Frenkie. There are more than one way to skin a cat. There are other midfielders out there.
He did just that, the last time and other options came.
Frenkie will always be good news.
Only Fernandez from that list has the potential to be truly world class mid in the future but I imagine he'll cost a bomb after this.
Amrabat would be a good economic option at the dm position but we already have casmiro to begin with, and Bellingham is outright over rated(even if he becomes as good as he's hyped to be he's not the profile of player we should be looking to sign)

A motivated Frenkie that wants to join us, yes. But after this summer, I really think he doesn't wants to. So we should move on.
I won't name 3 but I much prefer Enzo over FDJ. Much better defensively and better passer IMO. Going to be similar price.
Ya. Fernandez will be my muppet signing for Jan and summer window.
Yes and we already moving on now by wanting Frenkie to join. Outcome will be a good trade off.
Enzo would be brilliant and it may even be argued that he'd be a better fit for us than De Jong. We'd have to pay an excessive amount for him & will face a fierce competition for his signing. Bellingham plays in a completely different role and the same monetary & competition issue as with Enzo apply times 2.
Signing Amrabat on the back of a World Cup performance would simply be a stupid thing to do, he's a 26 years old that plays for a mid-table Fiorentina side and he never before showed any potential to play for a top side. Can he sustain the level that he had shown over a few games in Qatar throughout the entire season? Theoretically, but it's highly unlikely.
Who says Enzo will even come here? Because we showed interest once? He's on top of the world now, with Barca and Madrid in his sights
Absolutely, we have moved on and this is just coming up again because the papers neeed rumours to sell
After last time, at least we know that no one will spend the summer hanging around in this thread behaving like absolute weirdos.
Wanna bet? There's no footie I'm told so folks of the CAF won't have anything better to do than respond to threads
Wouldn't be so sure of that... haha
In all seriousness, I don't see this happening, but i'm along for the ride
Cheap bunch of lads you've listed there considering we're skint. They're all available also? Do they even want to play for United or maybe the best players of the World Cup would like to hold out for an actual Champions League team or just generally a team that has their shit together?
Why are we doing this again when he has time and time again states that he doesn’t want to leave his current club?
It's all contingent on how ambitious our new owners will be and how deep there pocket goes.
Our monetary potential is unrivaled and as sad as it will be add state backed owner and I've got no doubts that we will go out for every big name under the sun.
