His passing is pretty good and I must say I underestimated his ability to handle the physical aspect but he is passing the tests. If only we could get a ball playing keeper to support him

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 was dubious when we first signed him, largely because of the element of unknown and a worry about how he might cope given his height but loving what I've seen from him so far. Out of the signings we've made, I think he may well prove to be the best one this summer.
Michael Carrick said that? Edit Carragher?
oh ffs xD I meant Carragher. Im sorry. Its been a rather stressfull week, but no excuse for that blunder.
It's so refreshing to see a CB who's seemingly got everything in his locker. Strength, intelligence, technique, not lacking pace, excellent passing ability, determination and more pleasingly a very high base line of performance. He's the same player each match and that's very reassuring given his position. I imagine DDG is loving playing behind this guy.
Left footed Messi
The Messi of football.
What a player.
Agreed. Our team has been far too soft for ages. Obviously I don't condone players going out to injure people or be overly aggressive intentionally, but he plays right on the limit.
You can tell he is extremely competitive and hates losing (something else I feel we've lacked a lot recently)
I just love the way he zips the ball hard and low into people's feet. He spots a ball through midfield as good as anybody I've seen.
Yeah that's fair to say, I guess it does have some advantages. It helps that he's quite stocky and clearly has a powerful core as he rarely ever gets pushed off the ball.
BEAST.
If we had to deploy him at CDM I have no doubt he'd do a decent job of it. The reading, tackling, carrying and passing...whether he's 6'5" or 5'9" he's a world class defender I'd have no problem matching up against striker on the planet not named Erling.

He is wonderful...thankfully ETH knew what he was doing.
Joy to watch

From what I saw at the game, Erling himself didn't target Licha that much tbh, he played way differenty by dropping down to get the ball.
Haaland doesn’t really target anyone as such, he looks for space, and usually finds it. He hasn’t got the ball ability to target someone by constantly running at them, and City are not really a team for aerial balls.

Redcafe scouting is seriously shit
Was dreading this day.
I will gladly say I was very very wrong and eat my humble pie.
Haha cheers mate! At least we're both happy with how he started off!

Kudos. Not many do this.

Man Utd 1:0 Omonia Nicosia
Did a good job today, sloppy at times (the last attack by Omonia was heartwrenching), but he has become a key part in our buildup game.
All the time we are looking at him to start the attack, the game resets at his feet.

Yeah he was sloppy with his passing several times which is unlike him. Considering how good he can be I'd call it an off day
Man Utd 0:0 Newcastle
He was slow with his passing on multiple occasions today.
Iffy with the passing today.
Newcastle blocked off the options between the lines very well today so he almost always had to go wide
Good at the defending malarchy but his passing was off. Like him a lot.
I thought him and Varane, plus Shaw were the stronger performers. Newcastle didn't have that much. Two teams that were poor in attack.
that plus the team has no mobility as well
Agree but even then he was our best passer out the back. He's always one to step up when we need more drive.
Overall good and consistent as has been since he's come into the team.
Need a big performance from him tonight. He's also on 4 yellows so hopefully he can avoid one as we'll need him vs Chelsea too.
Man Utd 2:0 Tottenham
Just gonna go ahead and say I think this guy is the best signing we've made post-Ferguson. He's been immense pretty much every game
He's a massive baller
I think he's our best player. So good at playing football.
The media were so desperate for him to fail.
Little ol Licha pocketing 6'3 Kane?
Top top class
He was fecking fantastic tonight. Pressed into Kane and Son early, didn't give them an inch to turn whether it was on the floor or in the air and sprinted with intensity to cover Dalot/Shaw whenever the first press was beaten. That's not even to mention his ability and calmness on the ball.
Did anyone see Kane tonight?
I love him.
Not the first time I've said it this season and it won't be the last.

Too small to play in the Greatest League in the World, likes of England's Brave Harry Kane will make mince of him
60 Mil is looking like a bargain so far. What a player he is. Had Kane in his pocket for 90 minutes.
Kane had nothing for him (unsurprisingly).
