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.

There's not much difference between him and Pogba in talent. I think Pogba is probably a bit more talented.
There's a huge difference in the application and desire though.

I think that though is a sizable difference. But for me having KDB's desire,workrate and hunger is a talent. Some are born with them some are not.There's not much difference between him and Pogba in talent. I think Pogba is probably a bit more talented.

A questionable mentality is a missing talent.. see Samir Nasri, Balotelli, Cassano etc...
For example Cristiano Ronaldo's biggest talent despite everything he possesses are his gigantic balls in defining moments and his absolute desire to be the best he can be. It might not be the same talents as Ronaldinho, Messi, R9 but it's literally what makes Ronaldo a far better footballer than Neymar ever will be.

Its again down to coaching .He is drilled to do the next step and with a bit of flair he executes it perfectly. For e.g the first goal by Sterling , I knew he will take it through the middle and pass it to Sterling on the left . Trade mark KDB city move.There's not much difference between him and Pogba in talent. I think Pogba is probably a bit more talented.

True it matters a great deal hence he himself even though he's always been great he hadn't been like this before Peps tutelage.Its again down to coaching .He is drilled to do the next step and with a bit of flair he executes it perfectly.

As someone who has seen his entire world class season in Wolfsburg I'm not sure I agree. Under Guardiola he added some finishing strokes to an already worldclass piece. I doubt he'd be a worse player had he gone to Bayern instead of City.True it matters a great deal hence he himself even though he's always been great he hadn't been like this before Peps tutelage.

He's a top 5/6 player in the world today, don't think he was there in those days. Look at the difference in his first Pep season to the one before. Pep is fantastic at turning very good players to great ones and great ones to special ones.As someone who has seen his entire world class season in Wolfsburg I'm not sure I agree.

When he’s on that sort of form then he’s up there with Hazard as the best in the PL.
To even talk about Pogba in the same breath is laughable.

Im not even kidding when i say this he is one of the best midfielders iv ever seen in my life. He is by far the best midfielder in the premier league and the best midfielder in the world. Im just so amazed every time i see him.
The fact City has won almost every game in his absence is mindblowing and speaks volumes about the rest of their team. I hope i never read a comment on here again about Pogba being as good as him.

If this guy stays fit I can't see how City won't win the league.

Best midfielder in the league by a long way imo.
Probably my favourite player in the world behind Messi. Phenomenal

He reminds me a bit of peak Kaka, he is exceptional, Beckhams delivery, and can run with the ball.
Best player in the league.

Only if they concentrate on CL in second part of the season. It is Pep's 4'th year, they will prioritize it for sure.If this guy stays fit I can't see how City won't win the league.

Probably the best crosser in world football by far. Especially those driven crosses along the ground. Insane.

I don't understand why Real Madrid aren't all over him? In fact why aren't they ever all over City's players?

That would contribute a lot into making him that player yeah. KDB is a player who exploits his ability close to 100% in much more games than PogbaMore importantly the right manager
Real couldn't even get a Pogba that wanted out from us. What chance do they have?I don't understand why Real Madrid aren't all over him? In fact why aren't they ever all over City's players?

Probably because they're getting paid way more under the table than official figures show.I don't understand why Real Madrid aren't all over him? In fact why aren't they ever all over City's players?

Fantastic player. Chelsea fans have every right to hate Jose for letting De Byrune and Salah go, they could have potentially lined up with De Bruyne, Salah, Hazard and kante behind them then some random warm bodies. On an unrelated note did you hear Neville say that Gerrard used to put these crosses in "but it's not a cross it's a pass! De Bryune is just as a good as Gerrard was at them" No Gary, he's about three times better you silly twit. He's become a really poor pundit.

More impressed with that ground cross which Gundagon missed. It was completely an awkward pass when you see it but when its executed it just became one of the most beautiful passes I have seen. Brilliant player.

You say that but he will probably be there next summer, didn't Madrid spend 300-400 mil this year? I am sure next summer they could splurge for someone.Real couldn't even get a Pogba that wanted out from us. What chance do they have?

Risky business going after a player that one of PSG or Man City want to keep.Money?
Look what happened to Barca when they were pursuing Verratti. They have feck you money and aren't afraid to use it to send a message.

Great player.
We should offer Lingard + £10m for him.
That red hair in a red shirt, it’s a no brainer for him.

De Bruyne’s ability to make the correct decision in a fraction of a second and execute it to perfection is not something that can be thought. It is an innate talent.

It's a good point actually, why haven't Madrid or barca ever considered one of Silva, Aguero, Kompany etcI don't understand why Real Madrid aren't all over him? In fact why aren't they ever all over City's players?
