In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Would genuinely love us to get rid. Don't believe he is or will ever be in the elite tier of forwards, and isn't the forward to take us back to the top of the game. Would much rather us look at players like Werner, Icardi. I feel like we got Lukaku because of his height and presence more than we did for his actual footballing ability, can he score a decent amount of goals? yes, but Ruud Van Nistelrooy also did that and he was twice the player Lukaku is, yet we needed more than that, I feel like even though RVN was fantastic for us and I loved him, our overall game improved when we were playing someone like Saha.
He's also apparently undroppable no matter how much shite he serves up, in comparison to others who may have 1 half a bad game and they don't play for like 3 matches, which really annoys me.

He wouldnt get anywhere near that juve starting 11
Lukaku doesn't get many chances because of his rubbish movement and crap close control in tight situations.
With Icardi our count of chances will change. Any ball thrown for him inside or around the box will actually be considered a "chance" and an opportunity to score. We currently can't think of any "scoring chance" except tap ins and 1vs1 with the keeper. That's thanks to Lukaku limited ability. With any other top striker with clinical senses and good close control and positioning inside the box, our count of chances will change massively and we'll start seeing "a half chance" being converted to a "real chance".
As for linkup..etc, Lukaku isn't doing much in this department either anyway, so if it's absent regardless, swap him for a striker that will make you more threatening up front.
Mandzukic is 33 at the end of the season and Ronaldo will be 34. They're both not showing their age as of now but Lukaku would be a very good option for Juve.
He'd make a great partnership with Ronaldo given his ability on the counter, in the air and the fact he likes falling on the wings a lot.
It will never happen though.

Only God knows
Luke Shaw actually just declared his love for Liverpool. Wtf is happening
Get a life. The way some of you go on you'd think he shagged your Mrs.
The only player I remember who openly talked about his ambitions of playing for another club was Ronaldo.
Lukaku has not been half as good for United as Ronaldo ever was.

His agent is Jay-Z, not Twatiola.
That doesn't change the fact he is limited in his own way and you need to fully set your team for him to be at his best. And in 2 years time we would ask for a striker who can pass the ball.
There is a reason big clubs aren't so interested in him, same as everyone was wondering what Aubawhatever is doing in Dortmund.
Never ceases to amaze me when I hear of a player openly stating his desire to play for a certain club, whilst legally contracted to another one. Fergie would have shipped him out in January for making such a disrespectful comment.
Indeed.
I'm willing to set my team for a striker that will bang any half of a chance he'll get. That actually can bring some good results.
More likely that Jose'll be gone with him.
Another open chance he'd miss
He needs to be gone with comments like this
He said he’s Jose sergeant and “studies the game” when he gets home for hours and is a “student of the game”, what nonsense, absolute bullshitter who can’t control a ball or shoot without it going miles over or too much power being used.

Straight swap for Dybala 
I would like to hear what he actually said because that part is strange.
Do they have a Timbaland store in Turin?
Hopefully your mum won't read that.
Its sad. Its a good job these guys probably never go to any of the games.
Oh yes please.
Region of £70m offer i think we'd bite their hands off.

He didn't state a desire to play for another club though. He simply said he'd like the experience of playing in Seria A one day.
I can't be doing with this thread. Incredible how many people are getting riled without reading what was actually said.
What's this?
I highly doubt any top club would bid for Lukaku

He would need to take a good few touches first
£60m+add-ons would be decent for me. We certainly won't be getting more than what we paid for him, that's for sure.
As to who we get instead of him, that would depend mostly on the next manager and the style of play employed. For now, I could see Sanchez or Martial playing that role well under a different manager. I would like for us to have a more fluid front 3 where the goals are more evenly distributed across all 3.
As for Jose, I actually think Giroud would have been a better striker suited to the way we play, who is(was) very much attainable.
Timbaland? You mean Timberland? Timbaland is the music producer. Not sure what your post has to do with anything anyway.
Cmon, surely that's a windup.
You guys are too easy to wind up. Must be a laughing stock to oppo fans. It's the kind of thing we'd be rinsing other forums for...
Raiola client therefore he probably has another 5-6 transfers in him before he retires
Yeah he doesn't score goals, but he has good hold up play, and can bring others into play. Lukaku is simply not the target man type of striker that Jose wants him to be.
Probably a bad example, but I don't see him being worse than Lukaku, for a much lesser price.
I'd love to see Ronaldo flipping his lid because Rom couldn't control a simple pass for the 15th time.
Wouldn't mind it tbh, but he'll end up staying.
It's not like Mandzukic is any better on the ball and that's been working great.
Go on Rom, make my day.
