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.

Should be an instant ban
Can he play RW?
Are you talking about Wayne Rooney?
He never spent a minute here as our worst ever player ffs.
Good to see.
However I don't think we should have threads about 11 year old kids.

Is that all of our transfer activites for January?

Sons of Giggs FC has a nice sound to it.
Rooney scored 29 goals in 40 appearances in the 2013-14 season, our worst season before and since in the Premier League.
Anderson was a bang average player who only seemed alright because of Fergie.
He's 11? Well, looks like he's got 5 years until his debut and he better damn well score before his 17th birthday.
They say he is a legend
The same as any academy player. You can’t play for another team etc.
The way it’s portrayed is that it’s some sort of modern slavery but it really is standard. I know parents with kids in academies and nothing is that strict.
What an 11 year old wrote to Butt questioning the other signings?
Sounds like a politician
I’m mainly joking but surely when kids that young join an academy it’s their parents that sign any associated paperwork?
I would have thought so, I'd guess this is just a photo op signing.
Similar to when first team players sign:
Not even a nice bit of "Lorem Ipsum...." placeholding text for the phony contract. Someone just hammered jibberish into the keyboard.
Fixed that for you
His Dad did it then?
Strange PR stunt.
The hippies have got a lot to answer for with shit like this a result of freedom of speech.
Man, I have got tears in my eyes. The son of my favorite ever footballer is going to play for our club. Is this the start of a new Maldini like dynasty at the club?
Here is hoping that King Kai makes it with us.

You’re correct.
Houston, we have a twat
Is he any good?
Any kid who signs for an academy at that age is quality
Whether they progress is another question. More fail than succeed.
I'm now genuinely terrified that you think i'm being serious.
You weren’t?I'm now genuinely terrified that you think i'm being serious.
I was just about to post the news, with that exact message

The only explanation
All hype
Once a red always a red.
I wonder how much impact his upbringing in wealth will compare to the poverty that Wayne grew up in, in comparison. Sometimes fighting for a better life gives you that drive to succeed. I know Mike Tyson said his son wanted to box, but he told him "there are killers out there, and you're not that". But sons of good players have done well in history (Peyton Manning in the NFL, Steph Curry in the NBA, etc)
Mad skills, so talented.
Underrated post
And he has 3 brothers. Rooney to Rooney to Rooney and a nice finish by Rooney
Utter gibberish
Rooney back as manager subbing on Kai to make his debut in 2026?
I don't think there's a hard and fast rule that you can apply to this. For example Busquets is a third generation footballer I think, and he's ended up as probably the best DM of his generation. I agree that coming from a hard background would give you more drive and hunger to succeed, but I think that even if they come from wealth, once the drive, and obviously talent, is there, they can make it. If I remember correctly Kaka was another player that came from a rich background.
Jesus Christ. Did you miss the first part of his United career or what? One of the best English talents of all time.
