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.

If it's true about us close to getting him, I want to hear news about it today.
agree with the first 2, but dybala did not want to come, Sarri practically begged someone to take him, and he personally set his wages stupid high. Griezmann, who bloody knows what was happening with that one.
In recent memory, thiago, Kroos, Cesc??? come close, but this deal for sancho has to go spectacularly wrong from here to fail. We aren't haggling on price (seemingly) its purely structure.
A few, the original Sanchez saga, Thiago, Sneijder.
Well I'm looking forward to playing a game of where's Sancho today. If he ends up back in Germany then he's off to the training camp. If he's still in the UK then it's imminent.
The muppetry and race for Hazard was strong I recall. Was very close to joining us it seemed. I remember it seemed a choice between us and Chelsea.
Anyways, I wrote "Not completely but", so no reason to make a direct comparison
Every day theyre posting 'debut' throwbacks at the moment. They posted about our record breaking signing on the main site last week.
Today a post about Pogba returning and signing.
Sancho signing/debut coming soon . . .
Yeah that Griezmann cnutagree with the first 2, but dybala did not want to come, Sarri practically begged someone to take him, and he personally set his wages stupid high. Griezmann, who bloody knows what was happening with that one.

I think it’s a good chance to see Sancho joining us. We just need to be patient. It’s a huge deal.
I love it. You are a proper muppet my friend
Yeah forgot the original Hazard one. Everyone thought he was coming to us, even the fans of Lille who were chanting good luck in Manchester to him on his last game. Didn't help that he had negotiated the right to announce the club himself so we were all on tenterhooks right till the end.
I don't know how you arrive at "40m next year" but that's a complete misjudgement in my opinion and your whole argumentation falls apart after that. If I had to speculate then I would say that he'll cost around 70-80m € next year.If they refuse, they can only sell him for around 40m next year. You think they'll do such a thing? I don't think so.
It's in ''our hands'' mate!
Remember that Leroy Sané cost 50m with one year left without playing a single game this season coming off an ACL.
For Dortmund the calculation is quite simple which is what do we get this year minus what we expect to get next year and if the difference is not big enough then they wont sell.
As far as I can see both clubs are acting pretty reasonable here.
Barca have Trincao coming in on top of Messi, Griezmann, Ansu-Fati and Dembele as well as Pedri and Monchu coming through but that’s not mentioning the fact they’re absolutely potless and need to sell to buy.
Remember the furore over such an ordinary player. He was built up as the new Vieria or some thingNot exactly as high profile but there was this classic
TBF he always said it was between 3 clubs and there weren't categorical claims that it was Utd. Only muppetry
With Sancho it does appear it's only Utd but as with Berbatov I'm not getting overly worked up until it's officially confirmed
Noooooooooooooo, we missed the flight tracking
Muppets unite, the time is nigh
Muppets unite, the time is nigh
Am I the only one who wants to sign him but just happy to wait for the final announcement?
My point is: why is this thread so fecking long? Hasn't this been a fairly straightforward saga of details being ironed out? Or have I missed a lot?

Pretty much, just a bit of a pissing contest in the media by both clubs to keep us interested.
He was just to good for the Norwegian league. Thats all it was.
If he joins us now, is he even allowed to train with us? He won't have been included in the Europa squad, so either way it makes no difference till PL resumes?
'Member the baby outfit 'reveal'?
De Gea to Real Madrid... well its almost done deal until last minute fax machine...
well i can't speak for everyone but constantly refreshing twitter, reading the useless updates in this thread and /r/reddevils helps me escape the meaninglessness of my life.
Don't we know if
had to slip that in there...Hard to tell from that picture but that guy standing beside him is actually holding a gun to his back and forcing him to pose with that United shirt.Not exactly as high profile but there was this classic
De Gea to Madrid? All parties agreed to the move and a broken fax machine scuppered the deal.
It's been entirely straightforward despite what some seem to believe.
But let's be a bit self-indulgent, embrace muppet season and otherwise get excited about a top player joining.
Not too much excitement in the world for most otherwise. It's a welcome escape.
Sancho has been pictured in London at a house party for rappers Krept and Konan. I think the lad has some growing up to do. It seems he is a party animal and those romours to do with his disciplinary issues may be right. He is without doubt a top talent but am concerned about his lifestyle. Dortmund are in preseason mode he should be focused on that really.
McTominay is the same then I guess? Give over mate.
Fixed
And you're spot on. Good marketing by that ex Wimbledon player who bigged him up
That should answer your question. City is a club who doesn't need money, they have no issue to let their players go for free. What makes you think Dortmund has the same authority to do it? Sell him for around 40m or let him go for free, that will be their choice. Why would club spend 70-80m next year if they can get him for free the next following year? Remember Havertz cost around that this year with 2 years left in his contract.
Oh come on
Do you think he just might have told them( Dortmund) or is your indignation just based on conjecture?
You must have hated Rooney.
Then you should completely ignore what Rio used to get up to over his years with us including midseason.

plus users can read it here. Dortmund offering him a pay raise if he decides to stay (from 6 m a year to 10m a year).
You can read the article in transfermarkt quoting bild that he earns now 6 m and will get a pay raise to 10 if he decides to stay.

They're not going to these lengths for him not signing.
Bait. Just to raise Utd's bid.
Seriously. At the time be hyped as the next future great midfielders. It really felt like a huge loss. Little did we know what an average and limited player he'd turn out to be.
Good news. Let's keep at it and get this over the line.
