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.

Agreed. Given that Matic isn't going to be playing 50+ games next season, and since Fred and McTominay work well with each other, I think we'll see those two in midfield with one of Pogba/Bruno in front of them on plenty of occasions. Sancho and the other attackers are all very flexible so we might see Sancho from time to time in different roles, but starting from the right and just interchanging with other players mid-match will be where he spends most of his time.
That’s too late. Even an extended deadline wouldn’t last that long
Yet we all get confirmation at the same time when Man utd confirm it. It was alot less stressful with transfers etc when I didn't get hooked into the transfer drama's.Basically 2 days later once they’ve realized it’s the most sellable piece of info
To be honest, not everyone is as up to date as we are on these forums.
I’ll give you my own example. I didn’t even know Caf existed until 2 years ago!
Till then my source for transfer gossip was ESPNFC, BBC & SKY with rare visits to Goal. Now I’d laugh if I ever used ESPN, SKY or Goal again. Barely even check BBC anymore.
But the stereotypical and generic audiences usually get their transfer news from these aforementioned sources.
Roundabout week commencing 17/08
I remember when there never used to be a twitter thread. We would scan articles from magazines and upload them on to the caf with our 56k dial up modemsBasically 2 days later once they’ve realized it’s the most sellable piece of info

80m upfront, 10m if he scores 25goals, 10m if plays 25matches, 10m if we win the premier league, 10m if we win the UCL.
Someone call Ed and tell him i have a solution for him.

There's going to be a last minute panic buying of other targets after we finally pay Dortmund what they wanted all along for Sancho a few days before the deadline.
Relax. It will be done soon.
So when will the infinite 48hr period commence?

All systems go?
I actually don’t find this stressful at all. Discovering Caf and getting more involved has been fun for me. And the muppet inside me
Helps kill time if nothing else.
Seriously?
They joined in 2011 so I’d say not unless they got banned and came back as another user...
Agreed. First memory of the caf I have was from looking for any updates online about us trying to sign Luke Shaw back in 2014. The transfer forum is a brilliant hub for all the rumors, updates and news - I would never consider using anything else now for as long as I'm interested in the transfer window (so probably forever). Why bother surfing the web when all the relevant information you could ever need is filtered through onto here as it breaks.I actually don’t find this stressful at all.

Hope we get this deal over the line quickly. I think he's going to be amazing for us and give our team so much more creativity and goal threat. Bruno, Pogba and Sancho should be enough to break any team that sits back and defends. Rashford, Martial and Greenwood just need to get into the right positions and they will get plenty of goals.
This years window lasts well into October.That’s too late. Even an extended deadline wouldn’t last that long
Gotta love transfer season on caf. Earliest memory was probably the Ozil and benzema transfer. Not having an account and just refreshing the threads. Ozil tweeting BELIEVE and Benzema apparently changing into a United shirt for a fifa advert are just some of memories I have.
If this deal goes ahead, and it looks a dead cert at this point in proceedings, would there be a more competitive front four than Greenwood, Rashford Martial, and Sancho in the PL, or Europe for that matter?
Stressful is probably the wrong word, but ignorance is bliss, particularly when the don't happen.I actually don’t find this stressful at all. Discovering Caf and getting more involved has been fun for me. And the muppet inside me

I’d say the closest 4 to us would be Mbappe, Neymar, Icardi & Di Maria. Icardi seems like the weakest link outta them but he’s a clinical finisher just like Greenwood.
Hence yeah presently they’d be the closest.
I’d then rate Aguero, Sterling, Mahrez & KdB close second just because Aguero is almost past his prime and Mahrez is good but not great. At least not yet but now that Sane is gone it’ll be his moment to become a top 10 wide player.
Who is this guy actually? I have seen his name pop up quite frequently on the caf. Goldbridge i mean, not Sancho
Has a YT fan channel. Nothing more.
no news during maintenance time? Meh. This saga needs to pick up steam!
Why are Sky UK confident on this one. They usually don't do anything but push other sources.Mirror now posting shite about Sancho preferring Pool over us. Either they re making up shit to get clicks or Dortmund is planting stories to drive up the price.
They’re just copying the Kicker article from earlier.
This one is racing along. Media trying to make the most of it now as they know it won’t be long now.
I meant from Dortmunds perspective. They wouldn’t wait that long.
On his way? Where is the flight tracking?!
@Niall has a lot to answer for putting the site in maintenance mode in the middle of muppet season.
Yeah, it's impossible to look beyond PSG's attack. It's the best in Europe by a large distance.
As for the PL: with the addition of Sancho, we must be on par with City and Liverpool's attack, especially considering the average age of both of those sides.
Exciting times.
No. I'm predicting a last minute record deal of Depay in the dying minutes of transfer day.

I won't argue with any of that, other than your preference of Pogba over Sancho for AM slot. What I will say is, even with Sancho we would would still be short in the front 4 positions, if we had 2 injuries there.
If it was Bruno and Pogba, we would be back to Lingard/Mata/Pereira.
Sancho safeguards both lines of attack, without paying over the odds for Grealish.
A capable deputy for Matic, (a much cheaper position to reinforce), would make more sense financially, in terms of balance, and in future squad quality.
And what do they mean by "back from Manchester", are they implying Sancho was here to discuss a deal?
Don’t think he would need to be in Manchester to discuss a deal. That’s for his agents and both clubs to do. The day he flies into Manchester is when he’s here to take a medical and sign the contract with everything sorted
