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?
A lot better than some of the feckers on here are saying.
Who do we have on the bench?
Him, suarez and iniesta all very good for them so far.
Everyone else.
His overall play and first touch have angered me way too much to celebrate a goal that was a clear foul.
can't disagree with this
lets prepare for the season full of nerves. This Van Gaal fella
I thought Utd looked very good apart from maybe Scheiderlin, he doesn't seem to cope well under pressure from players. Barca is technically better than probably every team on the planet so I don't understand the moaning.
I don't too. It's either tactics or they have next to no belief in their ability to control the ball whilst pressed. And it's a friendly ffs. You'd think they'd be calmer.
The pitch is horrible, no way to play some good passing, as the ball is to slow and you have to hit it harder to make the passes, but that slows the pace of the game.
Suarez was pure class so far.
On the other hand we are marking Messi pretty well. He is nowhere near the ball.
But the didn't seem to panic when they were pressed, but took the ball out nicely.
Wtf is Arda doing there ? Shouldn't he find a new club for a loan and train already ?
Barcelona are outstating us.
Mata would probably be one of the best footballers in 50's
The problem is his touch never seems to truly improve.
I love many of his attributes as a player, but his shocking touch frustrates the hell out of me.
Would like to see pereira on for mata, apart from that it's been quite good so far.
Kind of disheartening, that. If they're better now, what about when you add Messi and Neymar to that?
I think it will be a disaster of a season, do you agree?lets prepare for the season full of nerves. This Van Gaal fella
Am I the only one who thought Carrick was our best performer in the 1st half?
Rooney - so poor
Mata - Have a shot/try a through ball! he seems to take the easy option too much.

Yeah we've kept him quiet, good sign.
That's probably my main gripe (a rare one though) against tours in North America in general. If we played our preseason matches in the likes of Australia and Japan, I guess pitch quality would be less of an issue.
It's just the current reality, we have to accept it.
Shocking news coming out of America this evening. It turns out the European Cup holders are better than team who needs a qualifier to get into this year's competition.
Probably, but I would've liked to see Rafinha back in the midfield and Roberto on the bench to give us more fluidity and cutting edge. We looked a bit sloppy at times and lost plenty of balls, which is understandable at this stage.
I only caught the last five minutes of the half. How have we been playing so far and has Blind looked as crap as one would expect?
He's not a runner and it's the reason Jose had a problem with him.
United played really well. Barca were not much better. It's a friendly. Some of the negative comments on here are absolutely embarassing.
Yes.
My stream has a black man dancing in the middle of it.
Interesting.
Interesting.
In fairness we're not playing Smalling, Schweinsteiger or Di Maria either.
Loving Shaws and Depays bromance
Me too
No changes at HT
I think we'll see changes at 60 minutes.
Blind has actually been doing fairly well surprisingly. I'm still not a fan of him in that position though.
He said he would give them an hour. Will be interesting to see if that changes if Barca score early.
