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.

he was great - as usual.
Definitely a good late push for the LB spot in the England set-up.
Chilwell has better delivery all day long, but Shaw on form is a better player with his strength and ability to defend.

Playing well since his return
Feel like there is a shift in his passing, maybe Bruno has brought that out in him. He's passing between the lines, maybe a bit sad but I was very impressed with a long throw-in to Fernandes into the midfield that started an attack, think it's a sign of how more confident he feels.
He's been very good defensively so when he's upping his attacking output he looks like a player we can trust going forward.
And surely he'll get the goal.

Could you really blame Lingard though... he never scores so he is trying to take whatever he can.
But yeah... i wouldnt bother trying to claim that. Shaw deserves the goal. Shaw also played a good game so a goal as reward seems just.
I don't like him but he's looked very good lately. If he can keep this up it'd give us one less headache as LB won't be necessary to look at for a while. But how many false dawns have we seen from Shaw? I've lost count. Remember the summers when his future was a bit in question, boom - videos of him back in training before everyone else, working on his shape, only to then fade into overweight obscurity again a few games into the season.
If he keeps this up until May, Fair play to him.

I would say he's in the best form of his United career right now, another quality performance last night.
He was very good before that PSV defender broke his leg
Yeah he was genuinely amazing in the 9 games before that. Even looking back at the ratings from that season his avg rating is sky high, we aren't misremembering this/embellishing. In particular I remember him being superb in the 3-1 over Liverpool. So unfortunate to have gotten that injury at that time.
Absolutely. He was on his way to become my favorite at that time before he was broken. Such a shame - I remember clearly LvG saying «This shall be the season of Luke Shaw» and it really could have been.
I love watching him play one-twos and driving with the ball on the touchline or inside.
If he does that consistently, Shaw is a world class player. His first touch is also absolutely on point, I'd say he is as good as Mata in that respect.

He was but I feel there's an authority to his play right now, like he's suddenly matured all round.
Interesting to think about how Luke Shaw would have turned out without that injury... i imagine that an injury like that has a big impact. Not only the broken leg but also the mental part.
No doubt he is playing well and he is not our main concern now but isn't it worth replacing him with an attack minded LB rather expecting something from Shaw which is never his greatest skill.seems that Arsenal kid Sako setup and scored plenty of goals so someone in that mould could help our attacking play?
Man Utd 2:0 Man City
Incredible performance, actually preferred him at LB. Shut Mahrez down when moved there.
Wasn't scared of conceding at all when he was at LB and AWB at RB against their wingers.

Dare I say it, Luke Shaw will become what Maldini was for Milan.
He's been having a brilliant run ever since his return from injury.
Fantastic again today. He is a beast.
He won our player of the year just last season.
I have given Shaw so much stick, so when he's playing well I gotta hold my hands up and praise the lad. Another really, really strong showing today.
The sign of how much he's improved was that when Ole needed a solution to Mahrez he shifted Shaw from the middle to the flank. Even just a few months back that would have seemed silly. Glad to see Shaw stepping up.

I hope he donates a % of his wages to Williams, as having to fight for his place has got him to kick on.
He is playing very well, hopefully he won't get injured now.
Defensively he was very good, City were looking to go at Williams, once Ole made the sub and put Shaw as LWB, he completely blocked that wing.

Playing the best football of his career, to think just a few weeks ago Brandon Williams looked the player to dislodge in defense.
So, so good at LCB.
What a revelation.
What a revelation.
Always been a fan of his, even through some dire times when a lot of the forum was against him. But I still get the feeling that he's just one mistimed run into being out for 20 games again. He's a class player, just wish he wasn't so injury prone.
Immense again. It was noticable how mahrez got completely shut out of the game the moment that he was moved to LB after hed been their biggest threat before that
Very good performance. He does shine in games like this.
His upturn in form has been brilliant.
Playing his way into the England squad surely

He's a monster. Physically and technically exceptional whilst reading the game so well.
Has had a really good reaction to the challenge. Acts now like Brandon's big brother, which is great for Brandon's development too. He is great.
Think having Williams as competition has brought best out of him. Finally seeing some of his first season quality.
Brilliant again today.
He is a beast, certainly never going to get bullied and if he can stay injury free we’re in for a treat because he really seems to be thriving right now. Whatever is going on in training and behind the scenes is really working for Shaw.
And like you said, he’s technically very good and so fast for a big fella.
I reckon he must be one of the most difficult players in the league to play against.
I agree. I would actually say that even though they aren’t maybe the best at going forward the same could be said of both of our fullbacks. I’m pretty happy with our whole back line right now. Reassuring.
Yeah, we seem to be gearing up to have a lot of central creativity as well which will take some of the attacking workload away from the full backs.
Delighted with his performance today. Thought he was great to watch and looked really tough at play against. Happy for him.
He's actually a very underrated footballer. His first touch and passing are excellent. Lots of neat link up with the outside of the foot. Defensively again he was absolutely class
