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.

I know it won't improve his cardio I was indicating that he's a player with a strong work ethic to improve.
In Fergies last years yes. And most of them failed. It didn't matter though because we still had a team of worldies plus were able to nick the best players from other PL clubs.
If players like James, Longstaff, Maddison is all Ole can bring to us while losing players like Pogba he will fail miserably.
Fergie s biggest signing - Veron- didn't fare much better either
Isn't he pretty much perma-crocked now though?
I find the British core obsession as ridiculous. We have a British core and what that served us? Absolutely nothing. Meanwhile Liverpool won the CL by fielding just 3 British first team players while Chelsea won the Europa league by fielding no British player. Good players should be signed regardless of nationality. This nationalistic mentality is as obsolete as the pub club mentality or long ball football.
Yeah I think so. I just remember him as few papers reported how Lallana is so important for Klopp's system and before he used to be subbed out at 60th min.
I agree. I think it is more of an excuse as to our pulling power as a club right now. I personally don't care what nationality player we sign, they just need to be better than what we currently have and that shouldn't be too hard at all.
Please make this happen. Perfectly logical signing.
A very good player last season for Leicester. Hope he can improve us up front if he comes here. Would he fit in.
You're right about having to prioritise quality, but I think it's also a good idea to have a British core. Yes our current British core is shite but in the past it's what's inspired the foreign nationals with players such as Rooney, Scholes, Giggs, Carrick, Becks, Neville, Fletch etc. and they've obviously all been class too.
This is a really weird post, championing Chelsea for winning the Europa League but apparently our British core didnt do anything despite coming 2nd in the league the season before last and winning the Europa league themselves before that
Lets see how long Liverpool and Chelsea's best foreign players want to stick around when Madrid and Barcelona come calling.
Surprised that so many people seem up for this at £60m. United and signing central slowish players who can't really beat men with consistency has never worked out.
The hell you talking about?
Dribbling and winning freekicks is one of the things he brings to the team
1.4 dribbles per game is the same as Bernardo Silva as well
Talented, but wouldn’t want him at the club. I have it on quite good authority that he is a scumbag and has some very unsavoury habits outside the football pitch.
Quality. Have not watched much of Leicester this season but he looks really classy on the ball as per the tube.The hell you talking about?

Unsavoury habits? Like what?
Gaming disorder?
Spreading jam before clotted cream on his scones.
It was merely to illustrate the point that a player’s nationality is irrelevant, which it is.This is a really weird post, championing Chelsea for winning the Europa League but apparently our British core didnt do anything despite coming 2nd in the league the season before last and winning the Europa league themselves before that

In which 2 British players started the final.This is a really weird post, championing Chelsea for winning the Europa League but apparently our British core didnt do anything despite coming 2nd in the league the season before last and winning the Europa league themselves before that

so we should be dictating our transfer policy based on an inherent fear of the Spanish giants now? now, that is a really weird post.This is a really weird post, championing Chelsea for winning the Europa League but apparently our British core didnt do anything despite coming 2nd in the league the season before last and winning the Europa league themselves before that

That doesn't sound great
So our "British core" didnt stop us from using other players
It isnt. We have a history of having a British core and there are advantages in terms of a player wanting to spend their whole career here, instead of growing up dreaming of Madrid and Barcelona and then leaving us the moment they come calling.
So he was talking shit to someone else talking shit to him and his friend got into a fight.
Yikes, doesn't sound very becoming.
It backs up what I’ve heard about an interaction with him, is he’s a little sorry ‘ard prick, with an extreme self-inflated ego.
Okay. But if thats the case I'd imagine there would be more than 1 story that can be backup up with evidence. Rather than 1 time shit talking someone shit talking him
Why would so many people lie and back up stories of him being a cnut? He was a fairly low profile player back when that thread was created
There's several claims of him being an entitled tosser in that thread from different posters.
Edit: Having said that, none of this means that he wouldn't professional in training and on matchdays. Just means that outside of football he's a cnut, which I'd guess isn't unusual for a good portion of PL footballers.
He does come across as a complete cnut on the pitch as well, so not surprising.
There are a lot of stories when he was at Coventry and Norwich also
Like I said, backed up with evidence not hearsay.
Can you link them with evidence?
Nope, only anecdotal. But I personally don’t need a recording of him being a prick to not trust who told me originally. Sure, it may be confirmation bias, but I’d swerve based on that.
The telegraph article about him bragging about his wealth is from an incident in 2016 and the top stories in that reddit thread about him being a dick in a casino and nightclub are from when he was at Coventry who he also left in 2016.
So even if they are all true then it's three years ago and from when he was still a teenager.

Fair enough for you, but dont expect me to believe it. I'd much rather vilify someone when theres evidence to suggest wrongdoing, not just people saying stuff.
