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.
Can he play in midfield?
He's too old, don't want.This opens doors to a whole new world for us.
Yup. A new fantastic point of view.
Our rivals simply can't compete with a our partnership deals 
This signing will take us Jafar. Genie-us signing.
'Ecosystem'?!?
Probably replace our far east training camps with concentration camps.
For real though, someone on Reddit said their CEO had involvement with the Chinese government, anyone know how true this is?

Every big business in China is involved with the government.
Oh no. Chinese agents inside Old Trafford. Keep away. China are upping their stakes in political pressure on other countries and should be held at an armlength.
It's like Mrs Doyle talking about Pat Mustard.manutd.com said:
Interesting we are partnered with them as well
On-demand is so huge news for all Chineses United fans who couldn't stay awake all night, just to watch a live game. The Chinese government have controlled much of its own internet in China.
Now i can order even more fake Utd merchandise
Deli Alibaba? Never heard of him.
Goes well with our Aliexpress football.
Any idea what this is worth?
So you are one of the forty thieves.
This is Genieus.China are clever bastards. They're getting their hands in as many pies around the world as possible. They will be king of the world in the next decade.
Human rights issues become a thing not worth mentioning when so much Chinese money is invested in your country.
That's the advantage of no elections, a government can think in terms of decades rather than months/years

There's more than meets the eye with such big deals. Some kind of ground work is being done at United, imo, of some type of take over or something. Guess time will tell.
Good news. Alibaba is a huge company, and Jack Ma is a very intelligent man. He won't be throwing money around for ego's sake. Hopefully this will generate a lot of revenue for the club.
Jack ma is effectively retired now right?
No idea. I liked some of his videos on YouTube and the WEF.
There's no Magic Carpet to success.
Jack Ma Car?
Indeed, some think you can just rub a lamp and a genie appears
As a British living in China, I can tell you all now... Unless you're clued up about world economy, this company is fecking huge. Massive amounts of money involved with this. Alibaba and their subsidiary organisations are not quite but almost comparable to something like amazon. Except they will be investing a lot more than someone like amazon would because they're keen to extend contacts in the west and are massively interested in growth outside anf within China.
Alibaba investing in United is nothing like being bought by the Saudis and the rights abuses there. Being bought by a governing family that inflicts abuses and invested in by a Chinese company that knows it goes on but doesn't play an active role isn't the same.
Nobody would be crying about drone strikes, extraordinary rendition or military camps if a US company were investing.
Perspective and nuance people...

This, with only 1.99 £
Well that's just fine then, you being reassured that the man won't be egoboating around, but not knowing whether he's still at Alibaba
I think he stepped down in late 2018 and while he is still somewhat influential at Alibaba, he's not making the decisions anymore. I only know this because I recently traded 5 Alibaba stocks. But it's a great move, they are a big company and have millions of customers and it makes sense for us to reach new markets through Alibaba.
I'll get your coat and will tie it around your neck if you don't accept it. That's just terrible Pablo Montoya ffs
What you think, Chinese consortium looking to invest more and buyout Glazers?
I always held Andrus Verpaluu as a greater athlete than Jaak Mae. But yeah, they´re both retired.
Maybe the 40 thieves will find us a few steals in the transfer market!
How much are United making out of this?
Is he 29? If yes then no, the best he can give us is 2 years after which his legs will be gone.
Interesting, anyone have a rough idea how much United will make from this deal?
