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.

We knew that was going to be the case because our coaching is terrible.Our midfielders cannot fecking pass the ball.
But our aim today is to play a dirty, stop-start game and don't allow MCFC to play their smooth, fast passing game.
Basically, we need to play like a team in the bottom of the league, fighting hard to stay in the game, hoping to cause an upset. This is probably the only tactic to win the match.
If we attempt to out-pass MCFC, we'll get pumped!We will inevitably get chances on the break with the sheer number of players City are throwing forward.
We have to take them when they come, no excuses. FredOur passing has gone to complete and utter shitGenuinely think we need to bring matic on here at half time. We can't keep the ball at all.
didn’t notice that, cheersFred AGAIN x4How a team that cost so much can be so bad at passing a football is incredibleGive the ball to Fred = give the ball to CityPlaying from the back my arse.We're so bunched together it's no surprise we're struggling to transition. Easy to close down.Lindelof's done really well in getting tight to City runners a few times.No chance we get away with a clean sheet. We just can’t hold the ball.
Problem is we just can't seem to counter attack like we used to. Our passing is so bad at times.Fred is so bad it’s laughableWe just can't pass can we.
47 million well spentWoke up late so still out doing the Sunday shop. We get an early pen and holding on for dear life it reads, God speed!Our passing borders on the amateur level at timesWe need Pogba. We need Pogba. We need Pogba.
We need Fred off the Pitch.In an alternate reality, Fred would be lumbering around in man city blue today.
Neither have the quality we need from a starting midfielder, I’ll take McT on the ball every single day over Fred. It’s not even close really.
He would have been sold by nowPogba can't come back soon enough. McFred are painful to watch.fecking hell Bruno that is a shit fecking passFred is a disgrace.Break broken down because of a poor Bruno pass just like last Sunday. We have to make use of those fecking moments better.This is becoming very uglyMy God, 50ish minutes more..
I am too old for this shit..Jesus christ, City are everywhere.
We can't string more than 2-3 passes together without losing the ball. When City have the ball, they just glide past our players.
The feck is going on!?This is going to cost us, can't see us holding on for much longerHopefully we follow our pattern and get better as the match goes on. This has been a painful last 15 minutes.Our passing is fecking disgusting
It's a fundamental basic skill in the game, too. It's like a writer never using vowels.
Have been saying this for a while now. We need to get 'smarter' about stuff like this and do it ourselves.
We are too honest for our good at times
Please don’t insult shit by comparing our passing to it.No one seems to be able to pass a ball forwardsTweet
