Didn't turn up with the rest of the squad at The Lowry. Only him and Shaw missing..... things are bad when you get lumped with Shaw??

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?

I think he lives close to the hotel like Martial and would just join up with the rest of the squad.
MEN says they do too (and Perreira and Blind) but the other three all turned up at the Lowry.
He either went to the Hotel earlier or had some cause to be delayed and joined later. It happens.
If he's injured for example Jose would have mentioned in the presser.
Ah right, that sounds logical. Glad you know what Mkhi is up to.
Problem is, Mkhitaryan has been awful lately but I still think I'd rather him start then Lingard.
That's what I'd like to see, but Jose seems reluctant to play that for some reason.

Damn it
Its a good thing. It means that he knows that he's been under-performing. He's putting in the paces and hopefully it shows against Huddersfield.
I'm not confident it will show though, he's lost the spark he had at the beginning of the season.
Hopefully Jose starts somebody else, even Young would be better right now with Mata at AMC.
He needs to get out of his comfort zone.
He needs to get out of his comfort zone.
He needs to be benched and get a kick up his arse, but I doubt Jose will do it as yet. His propensity to get an assist or goal is still his get-out-of-jail card.
If he does not score or assist in the next 3 games, I think he will be benched.

This period of the season is for pragmatism and discipline. I think it suits some more than others. I think we've gone a little more defensive as we miss as does some players miss Pogs creativity. I think we will see an upturn in him when this happens...
I personally don't think he's been anything but above average since he signed for the club. We've had fantastic displays and we've had remarkably poor displays.
I've no doubt he's in the team against the likes of Liverpool away to create chances or produce a bit of magic. Unfortunately, he's not really done that during his time at the club.

If we win 4-0 again today I rather his performance improve rather than get assists and a goal. His overall play needs to improve and fast, so much tough games coming up and we need him in great form.
Sadly, we don't have anyone to start in his place. Lingard is OK but also nothing special. Another manager would have experimented with some youth in matches like today's, but Jose is not that type. We can only hope that he regains his edge. Also, Pogba coming back would be a huge boost to him because Mkhi does not seem to be able to hold on to the ball effectively.
Hope he can play a little freely today and improve his confidence a bit.

Yes, it was. When you mention nationality.
For those who were panicking about Jose giving Mkhi a free pass because he was his signing, guess they can relax. No repeat of the Rooney situation ever again at this club.
Mkhi should do fine coming off the bench. Should give him motivation to perform.

So mentioning nationality is racist?
In that context, yes. He did not have to mention Ozil's background.
Correct decision, his performances merited being dropped.
So anytime Hargreaves was referenced as 'Canadian-born' or Ben Johnson was referenced as 'Jamaican-born' was racist? Seems a bit of a stretch.
Did he also mention lazy player and being inferior vs nationality of someone?
This was his comment: Tagging him as a luxury player and putting him on the same level as the completely inferior Mkhitaryan is quite lazy and disrespectful to the Turk-cum-German. The mention of laziness has nothing to do with nationality. Nor is their any implication that Mkhi's supposed inferiority is related to his or Ozil's nationality.
To be honest, I'm not sure why the poster felt the need to mention Ozil's nationality, but labeling it as racist strikes me as a stretch.
It isn't a stretch, it's complete bullshit. He wasn't being racist.
Do people even know what racism means?
Two people can have different nationalities but the same race. That's actually quite common.
It really annoys me when people throw the racism card around when it has nothing to with racism.
It is like saying Rashford the England international is a fast runner. Or Lukaku the Belgian is as strong as an ox. How is that even remotely racist. Fair enough if the guy said that “Ozil is lazy because he is of Turkish and German descent” then that is racist. Some people are baffling.
Thank God he is not starting, sick and tired of him stinking up the place. I wish we had better options then Lingard for N10. One thing that's interesting is Jose does not fancy Mata at number 10 due to lack of pace i reckon, because that's the only thing Lingard and Miki have ahead of Mata, which makes me think we wont sign Ozil. Since he is not pacy either, Griezmann looks like a perfect n10 for him. Pacy, dribbler and ability to score goals.
That would be xenophobic, not racist. Because there are people of differing race but of the same nationality.

Huddersfield 2:1 Man Utd
Yeah whatever, the point still stands regardless. Xenophobic is the fear of the unknown or fear of difference, or dislike of difference. You can be racist by referring to a whole nation, if you believe that the races of the whole nation has an inferior trait to you.
Well, drop Miki, go 0:2 in the first half. First loss of the season coming up.
Yep, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that benching Mkhi led directly to Jones' injury and two seperate feck ups from Mata and Lindelof. Exactly what Mkhi fans said would happen.
Keep benchiig Miki.
Mkhi did deserve to be dropped but he probably won't remain dropped for long
This doesn't even make sense
