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.

So is he definitely getting the number 7 shirt?
That or 11 you’d think, wears 7 for Dortmund and I don’t think he’s the type that would suffer from pressure at United.
Cocks out?
Simon is not happy with this guy and quite frankly I don't blame him at all
He is coming 
Yeah I had a similar prediction. If Grealish does happen, it’ll be very late in the window to drive the price down as much as possible.
But I personally don’t want us to go for him. I think VdB is the guy for me! While his price will be significantly less, he’s also had CL experience. I also think coming from a team like Ajax, he will be one of those players who has very solid foundations and must be well-groomed in terms of coaching. We need a player of his caliber in our team. Besides either one of these players would not be a potential starter so the need to spend significant funds on them during the current situation is not wise. Mind you, VdB’s off-field behaviour isn’t alarming either. He will be more reliable considering how Ole wants his players to behave.
That’s not to say I don’t hold Grealish in high regard, but I just think VdB is a much more viable option when all factors considered.
A mind like this should not be wasted on a football forum.
Cocks and clits out
Remember everyone.. don't be an Arvind.
Yeah he has just learnt a harsh lesson from one of the transfer maestros
That Daniel guy likely got the scoop on the structure of the deal. Now we're getting the BVB side via bild saying how the structure was presented. I think it's done.
Like I said before, a pretty toned down Pogba deal. It was all about structure of payment.

Well that's good news .Could also means we will get only about 70m next year and 80 in 2022 as kitty.
Why is a 'not so concrete' tweet from SW becoming a reason for 'cocks out' time?
Well that could get us a DM and decent young LB then activate Haaland clause the following summer. Obviously there will be other clubs in the race too but reckon we could have a decent chance of getting him.
SW are quoting Bild (hit and miss as far as I know). Simon Peach seems to be backing it up in some weird fashion.
This probably has weeks left in it.
Where would he play? Would he play the role that Greenwood has been in lately? Just kinda want Mason to keep getting games as he's extremely talented.
Nah I reckon we are nearly there now and Peach is rightfully feeling a bit annoyed because of that prat who DM'd his on his instagram that is for his life outside of being a football journalist
I think we’ll have assembled a good team by the end of this window so the next few windows will be justifiably calmer.
Yes we need to get proper signings in this window. We will only be looking to add depth in further windows.
Every other year we would buy dross and end up looking for their replacement next year. Don't want that to happen.
Sancho + VdB + Badiashile/Kabak (or Gabriel if neither of those) this window and we good to goooo
I don't think we need VdB. We need more of a cover/competition for Matic.
I would like a backup for Bruno as well and Grealish would be my pick but we don't have a warchest.
Agree. It's a manageable offer for United and offers future financial gain for BVB. This is looking like it's close to being done!
I’d much rather have McT get groomed for that role. Unless we can get Partey. I’d literally only make an exception for him.
Correct me if I’m wrong but can’t VdB also fill in that role if needed?
VdB would diminish the need to sign Grealish as well.
McTominay's a bit too limited for that role, he's fine as a box to box but his passing range rules him out of any potential spot at DM for me.
Sure but that’s presently. I think he’s still young and learning. McT for me, has been improving steadily every year and I see that trend continuing on.
I will if you will.
Hopefully but you never know. If Pogba doesn't sign a new contract we will be back to square one with looking to add more players.
He can but he's no better a passer than McTominay really. His strength is he's versatile but imo if he was as good as some on here think he wouldn't be statistically ranked the 14th best player in the Eridivisie, which we know is a far weaker league, he'd be smashing it up like Ziyech.
If you'd told me at the start of this season that for 120m Euros we'd be buying the best English player of his generation I'd have been overjoyed. When Covid has passed this is going to look like a terrific piece of business.
Woodward be like : "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse."
Its gonna get announced on the 7th isn't it? I swear they do these things to annoy me
Erm Van De Beek IS backup for Bruno primarily. He is an attacking mid and plays there for Ajax more than he does in a central midfield pair of 2. So it doesn’t make sense when you say you don’t need VDB yet you want a backup for Bruno. If Grealish is going to cost 65-80m and there are absolutely no choices other than VDB and Grealish then I’d take VDB.

I think this is done tbf. Just need to be patient. Both had agreed to a price and just a matter of payment structure imo.
I am sure Sancho himself is as impatient as us waiting for both sides to conclude the deal. Bet he can’t wait to sign the contract and put on the red shirt
VdB is not a pure number 10. He is more of an 8. And I mainly prefer Grealish because he is PL proven.
I like the new recruitment idea about players wanting to be here. I can't say with a certainty but Vdb had his move to Madrid called off and I believe he would come here only because they couldn't afford him. I would rather prefer Grealish who has always been a utd fan.

Not sure it works like that.. if you sign Sancho for €120m over 6 years, it will cost the club €20m per year through the P&L regardless of the payment structure (plus his annual wages). Doesn’t get more complex than that in “cost” terms for the club. All that is being agreed here is Cashflow. All teams will be looking to protect their cashflow at the moment, so this will just be about the teams finding the right balance for a big deal. A club of your size will always be able to generate more cash.
I’d imagine transfers are rarely 100% upfront payment. Particularly ones of significant value.
