He played out of position today. Is more an 8 than a 10. And Forest were very physical anyway.

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.

Talented, no doubt but struggles to game his mark on the game, common struggle for smaller players in his position. Ødegård struggled with the same and needed plenty of time before he eventually became good enough for this level. He should be loaned out when ready
Very busy, just very lightweight and got pushed about.. do think he has a good future though!
He's a good player that will develop further in the coming seasons. Technically a very good player and hopefully as he matures and gains more experience, he'll add that speed of thought/execution to his game which isn't always there, hence he gets muscled off the ball at times. But once he adds that, then he'll become a even better player.
Still very young at 17, and a full season in the u23s will do him good. I'm looking forward to seeing how he develops next season, he's very talented.

Hanson on the bench today.
Mmmbop
Cool debut for him 
Got few minutes obviously, but I liked how he looked hungry and not clueless what to do with the ball when he had it (which you often see when youth get a few minutes)
Yeah, but he has a neck tattoo...
With lifting tattoos like that, he better be good at football.
I didn’t even notice his tattoos 
Looks like he has gone to prison since the last time I saw him play for the u23s. Wasnt expecting the new look
Honestly who caresI didn’t even notice his tattoos
Concerned caf parents
I couldn’t give a toss just a bit surprised the amount of talk about them. Clearly I need glasses.
Norwegians are strange
Oh I know you didn't. I was a bit surprised too.
Might need to bulk up.
hes probably the most de Jong-like midfielder we have, but he’s obviously a long way off yet
I didn’t even notice his tattoos

You are not ?
I want to know what eejit Tattoo artist put his career on the line by tattooing someone under the age of 18.
Yeah, that's a lot of ink for a 17 year old. What the feck?
I mean strange as ol chokey is, he does have a point. The church burnings and corpse paint for a start ...
That will be Dan Gore, Hansen reminds me more of Modric.
Looked pretty comfortable on the ball. ETH must see something in training he likes.
Probably all the ink!
Must have had his heart in his mouth when he got a shooting opportunity for his first touch
Well he obviously think Lindelöf look tough the Iceman or he like Machine Gun Kelly...
You do know UK law doesn’t stretch across international boundaries?
Norway has no legislation*
*according to a quick Google search
Very young indeed to be having that many tats - and in agreement that whoever did them is taking a big risk (unless he went back home and the age limit is different there)
If you look back at the pictures of the FA youth final though, his hand was already covered so looks like the butterfly is the only new thing. But the amount of players playing in that final who have tats is quite astonishing
Anyway, if tats are the only thing we're commenting rather than being in the news for the wrong reasons then I'm not going to complain

At youth level he's more like Scholes. He seems to have lightning-quick ability to read the game, doesn't need a whole lot of touches, way better than average passing range and ability, able to turn in tight spaces and keep the ball. Really clever little player. He and a couple of the other stand outs in that team are still kids though, and physically were just not ready to go against men/goons. I hope he's bulking up! Really talented player.
I'm pretty sure it's 18 here in Norway too.
You can get before if your parents allow it. Like the parent has to tell the tattoo person that it's alright.
Ah come on, they need somebody to root for. After Odegaard and Haaland turned out to be bums it's finally this guy's turn.
The long text on his left arm is a transcript of this:
Scored twice for Norways U18 as they beat North Macedonia by 6-2
Has he been training with the first team?
Struggled to keep the ball against Betis but a lovely little through ball at one point.
I can't help but getting Mats M Dæhlie-vibes from him. Just a bit too slow, and too small to make it ... but showing lots of qualities with the ball at his feet.
