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.

OK great, so we've got a good front 4.
What happens when 1 of those get injured? we're back to playing Pereira, Mata or Greenwood out wide. That isn't good enough to get back to the top 4 or even challenge for the title.
The front 4 lads need rest also, having Sancho isn't going to limit any of their time, they'll all play 40+ games a season.
I agree. I think we should get Sancho, and preferably another striker too.
Sancho + Haaland and we're really going places.
Add another CM workhorse like Soumare and an attacking midfielder like Maddison/Fernandes, everything looks much better.
Not getting my hopes up.... but would love it
Ok, we can offer a lot of money. That is a consideration, however, I don't buy the argument (especially rose tinted ones from fellow United fans) that the "famed" no.7 shirt would be a draw for Sancho. That's an argument from romance and nostalgic tradition. Why should a kid born in 2000, not old enough to remember Cantona, nor Beckham, in a no.7 United shirt, and arguably still too young to remember much of Ronaldo in a no.7 shirt either, be enticed by the prospect of the famous no.7? By the time Sancho is old enough, the no.7 shirt is a matter of trivia and is held by Valencia, Michael Owen, etc.
Money? yes.
Potential CL? of course (IF we look like making it).
No.7 tradition? not buying it.

If I m not wrong City have first right of refusal on Sancho. Even if they don't need him (which is not the case) I can see them hiking up the price for us
Also, if due to Brexit , restrictions are imposed on non British homegrown players, City will need to increase their quota of British homegrown players

This chancer now has people paying for subscriptions to see his 'news'? Mental.I know
I'm not sure what he has to say though I wouldn't take him to serious but it is known he apparently gets information from someone at the club, to what level they are at though is another matter. I assume this post has something to do with where Jadon Sancho is looking to Transfer to. I have heard a lot of chatter that he is for sure looking to move clubs in January and some are claiming we have a deal in place.
What's it saying?I know

someone on here will pay it for sure
He apparently had something on there about Gomes too.
Beginning to think Sancho in January might happen.

Scored another today for what it’s worth, as he does.
Need to break the bank for him. But muppetry aside, if you think clearly for a second and hark back to Woody's last 13 windows in charge, you should know there is no way this is ever happening - definitely not in January anyway.
It's Woody's love for a fancy galatico signing that gives me belief he'll get this done. Sancho is the most obvious United signed ever not just under the new regime but during Fergies time as well
People pay for posts from these "ITKs" ?
We are interested..
Sancho open to move
Others interested.
Likely to move in Jan.. might stay till the summer.
Dortmund wont sell for cheap.
made all that up.. now pay me some monies.
I don’t see how he is moving January. It’s too big of deal to happen in January and Dortmund wil want a bidding war which can happen in the summer
Surely Dortmund want him for the CL?
To do what exactly in the CL?
You forgot young Lingard.
Presumably play. They’re not far off the top of the league either, selling him in January seems crazy.
Well basically, they need him to play football for them, because he’s a footballer. They very likely will not come close to winning the CL.
Tbh, I’m not having a dig at you, it’s a common view, I just question the sentiment of it.
16 goals and assists in 12(1) BL apps this season. Not bad to say he was in crisis a few weeks back.
That does not look like a positive emoji. Ole out.
If i remember right this guy had ITK info about Pogba leaving for Barca a couple of years ago. Says it all.
He’s a tool. But still interested in what he had to say

Willian and Pedro's contracts are both up in a few months so we'll need more than just Pulisic and CHO.
A few years before that he was mugging off tourists, charging them to go to local pubs around Old Trafford and claiming it was some package deal.
Wow that's just terrible.
Sancho won't transfer during winter, Dortmund would be absolutely dumb to sell him. Why would they? They can lean back, let him play an extraordinary Championship in summer and let the bids roll in, have his strength till summer, which will help to secure CL qualification and hopefully lead to some great games in CL.
The only scenario I could possibly imagine is that someone pays an outrageous amount of money now and they will lend Sancho to BVB till summer, following the BVB-Chelsea model with Pulisic.
Actually, the more I think about it, I should hide all this info behind a paywall, too.

Up in the summer? Could see José going after Willian
I actually would not be surprised if he gets a contract extension. Frank loves him and I don't think it's a good idea to have no experience in that area of the pitch.
Pedro is going for sure.

Adrian Kajumba provided some details regarding the clause City have in the contract and it looks an absolutely pointless clause IMO. Below is the excerpt from the piece by Kajumba in the Daily Mail.
City don't, though, have any clause inserted in the deal they struck to sell Sancho that would give them an advantage in the race to sign him.
Dortmund only have to inform City if they accept an offer for Sancho giving them the chance to match the successful bid.

Fair enough but it's confirmed that they are still in the race which makes things a lot more difficult.
Yes, but the reason why that clause is useless is due to the player ultimately making the decision where to go. It's not up to City.
I think Dwight Mcneil is a more realistic target, now that City have also joined the race to sign him in the summer.
