Playing Norwich tonight. Hopefully will start, watching with my father in law who's a Watford fan.

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.
On the bench. Line up looks very conservative, not sure if this new manager will be good news for him.
Not coming on tonight, not sure he's going to get much game time if Watford set up like this every week.
Just been watching a few minutes of it, absolute bore fest! But they’re winning. He isn’t coming on.
We’ll beat this lot quite comfortably. I don’t think they’ll play their strongest side anyway
Its actually been an alright game! Playing with 2 in the centre and it looks like chalobah and Hughes are ahead of him from the bench. cleverly and Capoue look like his first choice.
The only worry would be the pace of Sarr. It is frightening at times. The rest of them look painfully average. We should walk through their defence.
He came on after an hour in their last game. Hopefully he gets some more game time - I might be wrong but I think their next game is Huddersfield on the 16th.
So there's always a chance he might have a different manager by then.

At least Capoue getting sold will give him some more opportunities.
Looking like his loan is going downhill. Not even getting off the bench under the new manager
The championship is long and has a lot of games, so he will get a chance. It's a shame he's not starting but it's still a good experience.
Jimmy did a cameo on Cycling GK.
Ah I'll have a watch, they're quite good
Didn't get off the bench last night. 
United should recall him - the new manager clearly wants to use other players.
Agreed.

I hope that this is true.
Clearly not in the plans of Watford anymore and is a completely pointless situation if he isn’t getting game time
It was still a successful move. He played a lot. I hope we find him another club!
I'm starting to worry a bit if he'll ever make it at United. Anyway, he's still only 19, so has time on his side. He plays a position where it'll be such a joy if he made it here.
I think cancelling the loan helps a lot.
Wasting the next 5 months not playing would be pointless but if he can get another loan and get plenty of game time, he can come back and maybe get in the squad next season.
Without a loan, he’s got no right knocking on Ole’s door demanding playing time for us
We already should have cancelled this loan a few weeks ago.
Still plenty of time for him. CMs and CBS take the longest to mature.
He shows enough class - just needs to tighten up the more mundane aspects of playing in that role.
He has enough championship experience to earn another loan move from another championship team. I’m not worry with him getting chances again but there is concern now whether he has the talent to make it here. Still very young for a midfielder though, so plenty of time to be patient.

Did Mctomminay ever go on loan?
Loans at United seem to be for u23s who are not good enough for the first team. The ones who make it tend to directly break in ti the first team squad.

Nope. His inclusion in the first team was some kind of a surprise for regular youth watchers.
I hope they understand the sort of midfielder he is and don’t shoe horn him into the team. No idea why Watford thought he was a number 10. Garner’s main attributes are play making from deep and controlling games again from a deeper position
Good that we already had something else lined up for him. Hopefully it’s successful.
Evans went on loan and he's much better than McTominay. Players grow up at different rates both mentally and physically and they get given different opportunities through chance sometimes as well. Rashford for example might have gone on loan at some point had we not needed him so desperately. Wouldn't have meant he's not a top player.
He's a bit lightweight though just yet, he probably needs a bruiser next to him if he's playing deeper. The games at no.10 won't have done him any harm in the long run anyway.
McTominay was still at U23 without first team appearances when he was 19 though.
Whats his competition there, will he get games?
McTominay was extremely fortunate that Mourinho placed such emphasis on height, he'd never have got a minute under any other manager.
Given their position in the league, I'd guess any competition aren't performing that well. Get him straight in
Bit of a strange one this, not really what they need, they need someone a bit more creative further forward in midfield and they're not exactly playing great at the minute.
Obviously only seen him a bit. Nice player but no way he looks good enough to be doing it at United. I think he’d do well to stay in the Premier League all his career.
Nottingham are a "loose cannon" therefore i'm not so sure that this loan will be good for him.

If that's the case then I'd say the team is fortunate as well, given that he's become a pretty valuable squad member.
Straight into the starting lineup today vs Coventry, been ok so far. Deepest midfielder.
Played a great long ball in the buildup to Forrests equalizer.
Garner's Forrest win 1 - 2; with only 39% possession. Played all 102 minutes. 12 minutes of extra time!
