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 wonder who they are planning on filling that midfield with next season.
Vinicius and James start. Hazard on the bench.
Forgot Bale had to sit this one out due to the red card.
Vazquez starts again, hattrick for him for sure.

Uh. We're playing seriously well here.
The dream scores again

Great header Benz 1-0
It's "beat any team" mode set to on. Benzema looking great this season.
We're putting on a show here. James to Karim 2-0
ok Benz is a monster now, what's going on?
Real Madrid beating bottom half team convincingly at home, nothing to see here.
We broke their spirit 
If we could always play with this fury
If we could always play with this fury
Also if only we had someone better than Lucas there 
I mean yeah it's only levante but we haven't played this well in years
We want 10! We want 10!
It's just Levante I know, but very good vibes though.
Fell asleep and let them score, ffs
You went to Atletico Madrid last season and won 3-1 with Solari in charge.
Despite all the injuries I'd say today has first choice back 5 out, two first choice midfielders in Casemiro and Kroos and Benzema is regular striker so 8/11 out is pretty strong.

Eden debut.
The feck was that
Desperately trying to make Vincius score
I remember you always talking trash about him. Even though he's been one of the best servants for Madrid. The guy is world class putting his own ambitions aside for the sake of the clubs succes.
3-2 now. Levante's subs have worked better than Real's.
Not really, we've had like 50 colossal chances here
How are we 3-2 here, seriously
Had like two. Almost chances don't count for much, especially considering Levante are attacking and trying to score. Also, of course Levante's subs have worked better. It's 2-0 Levante in the 2nd half.Not really, we've had like 50 colossal chances here
Wow almost 3-3
Way more than 2. Vini had 2 one on one with the gk, benzema hit the post, hazard had one. Plus a bunch of good non-clear cut chances
We really should have scored 3 in the second half as well all considered
Very good finishing from real in the first half.
Look v suspect defensively though. Team doesn't have balance. Will struggle often this season as will concede to many goals.
So much space on their left side it's almost ludicrous.
Zidane doesn't know now to fit Hazard in the team, were worse pre season with him in.

Levante gave that a good go in the end. Saw them a bit last season and for a limited squad they played some lovely combinations on the pitch sometimes (compare that to Newcastle who with 100m + squad are just hoofing at every opportunity).
Nearly scored off the header and if the wide player had looked up when played in there were 2 Levante players unmarked on edge of box. Instead he had a go at near post and hit side netting.
Feels like continuation of last season, Real Madrid got their first choice back 4 out and got Casemiro and Kroos infront of them yet are still shipping in goals home and away.

Aitor made 8 saves as well. Great performance from both teams. Levante never giving up, and generally don't need much to score.
Think they scored more goals than Atléti last season.
I mean, their gk was motm
Levante barely crossed their half for 70 minutes. Their goals just kind of happened

Real Madrid look pretty weak in the air. Second goal came from that and nearly equaliser in injury time.
First was Courtois not coming out and carvajal lets the player get behind him. The header at the end was a mistake by the line. We're not weak in the air
True
Yet they could have had 4, set piece save and that near post attempt when pull back was by far the best option near the end.
They also had couple of breaks in the first half.
6 conceded in 4 games against average opposition. So 60 odd goals against if that trend continues this season.
Best performance came against Celta. Zidane got work to do.
A few seasons ago he looked finished though tbh. He messed up every chance he had.
But yeah, I was wrong again about a football player, surely nobody can be surprised anymore about this?
Anyway, long may it continue.
Anoeta completed looks brilliant.
Think Atletico Madrid will drop points here.

Atleti with zero shots on target so far.
We've seen this script many times before though.

How's Ødegård doing?
Nearly scored with a header first half. Neat and tidy as usual.
Odegaard scores!
Thought he'd taken too many touches as usual when around the box but got his shot away which took massive deflection.
La real deserve this, Atletico Madrid been nulified. Felix subbed off after not doing a lot.
