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?
I think that''s a misprint, surely he said he'd score 4 and actually scored 40, i mean it's Manucho ffs.
This.
Fresh from scoring 40 goals in La Liga and making Lionel Messi cry, Manucho is off on a new challenge, joining Turkish Süper Lig side Bucaspor.

Inset: Fenerbahçe fans react upon realising Manucho will be playing against them this season
Bucaspor, recently promoted to the Turkcell Super League, has signed Angola striker Mateus Alberto Contreiras Gonçalves, known as Manucho, from La Liga side Real Valladolid.
Manucho joined the İzmir side on loan, the club said. The 27-year-old striker will be in İzmir this week to sign an official contract, club executives stated. He moved from Angolan team Petro Atletico to England’s Manchester United in January 2008. However, he was loaned out to Greek side Panathinaikos for the remainder of the 2007-08 season due to difficulties obtaining a UK work permit [racist - Ed.]. He returned to the club, but was only able to play in one game before he moved to Hull City on loan until the end of the 2008-09 season. Manucho joined Real Valladolid in July 2009. He is also a member of the Angolan national team. Manucho has scored 490 goals in the 135 matches he has played during his club career. He has scored 160 times with the Angolan national team.
Manucho also revealed Manchester United had requested he return to the club, allowing United to ship Javier Hernández back to Chivas (opting not to take the option to sign him permanently). "However, David Gill's offer of a 50p coin (a shiny one) and a strip of chewing gum wasn't good enough for Valladolid," Manucho said. "Despite this, I firmly believe I will meet Manchester United again in the future, hopefully in the Champions League Final."
Can we safely assume Utd's Angolan scout has been sacked?
Sacked? Based on the above/latest report I think we should have Martin Ferguson report to our excellent Angolan scout.
I blame Berbatov (for everything).
Those goalscoring stats 
However, David Gill's offer of a 50p coin (a shiny one)
Scored his first goal for Bucaspor the other day. 28-08-2010 - Bucaspor 3-1 Genclerbirligi Highlights - Turkey - Spor Toto Super Lig (last goal)
Pace. Power. Technique. Desire. Determination.
Looks like he got man-of-the-match (unsurprisingly) with that post-match interview, or perhaps it's just a very enthusiastic and smitten female Turkish journalist.

Goal and assist against Fenerbahçe! Bucaspor won 3-2 away, with the big man displaying Messi-like skills for both the assist and goal.
Merry Christmas Manucho.
Merry Christmas Manucho.
Shame he left us but he had no choice, the competition in England wasn't enough for him so he chose a challenge. After taking Valladolid to La Liga heights he set his sights on conquering the world with Bucaspor.
Turkey home game fans are best in the world right now.
Bebe watch in a few years time?
We should re sign Beckham and Manucho in Jan and the Pl and UCL is ours.
Well, even a broken Manucho watch shows the correct time twice a day.
That was so fecking weird to watch. Despite somehow managing to beat 3 players for that first goal, he looks to have about a tenth of the technical prowess of Emile Heskey.Goal and assist against Fenerbahçe!

nice bump.
He's apparently left Bucaspor after they failed to pay him his wages after 1 or 2 (I don't speak Turkish) months.

Real Valladolid might be involved here as Bucaspor apparently still owe them payments, although Google Translate fails to clarify.

Not Quieroz's finest hour.
Manucho likes the challenge
You can't fault his career so far. He's clearly been keeping a low profile deliberately as part of The Greater Plan
He looked pretty shite at Hull and by all accounts he's been working hard to prove that wasn't a fluke.
Bebe has as many goals in the CL as Rooney this season.Bebe watch in a few years time?
He scored the goal that kept them up though, the next season without him down they went. Coincidence, i think not.
Yeah. And Wallwork has more PL medals than Gerrard. Stats mean feck all TBF.
Not saying Bebe won't make it, mind.
I hope we're still getting 10% of his sell-on fees. We could use two crates of pistachios right now.
Actually I was using it as a measure as to how poor Rooney has been this season.
Bebe does seem streets ahead of Manucho at this point in his United career
Will score 27 goals today.
LOL just came across this article (presumably was wrote around the time we signed him)
Shock as Fergie makes a mistake over Manucho | Mail Online
Jose spot on with his comments
Seriously have to question how the likes of Manucho, Bellion, Djemba x2 & Liam Miller got contracts at United considering following their sale they haven't achieved anything in the game
Wonder if this is what's to come for any of the current first team squad? Obertan, Diouf and Bebe I'm looking in your direction....

Diouf's already looking that he belongs at the Premiership with his performances at Blackburn. Can't say much for the other two.
Bellion was French top scorer for a while and won a Ligue Un trophy I think. Djemba Djemba was close to being back in the prem this season.
Is the best player in the world injured? I haven't seen him play in the last couple of Bucaspor matches.
He's playing for Manisaspor now after Bucaspor failed to pay his wages.
Dodgy stuff happens at these clubs... It happened to another world-class talent in Darius Vassell too.
Update, thanks to the Norwegian supporter website United.no
So there you have it folks, Manucho thriving in the Segunda Division at the moment, it'll only be a matter of time until he's back in contention for Ball d'Or.
Just wtf was fergie thinking here?
Any updates on Dong? I think he was even worse than Manucho
Manucho scored a couple of screamers in the last African Nations (or perhaps the one before that)
