In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Confusing. Was he injured before the game or during it?
Well, that didn't take long! Maybe we should have tried harder to sign Otamendi!
Seems he will be out of the revolving door next sometime in the next year or so.
Interesting who plays tomorrow ? Tuanzebe on the bench ?

Sorry, during the game
So a defensive injury crisis again? Good that we didnt pursue an attainable CB then...
I think that's paper talk tbh. Putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with the square root of pi.
Rojo is probably getting on van Gaal's tits. Passports, issues in Argentina, abysmal fitness.
So given this and, as we are only in September and down to the bare bones of a defence, it seem odd we let Evans and Blackett go and brought in no one else.

The exchange between LvG and Rojo seemed friendly enough when he came off the other day, at any rate even if he has pissed the manager off we are going to need to use him this season.
Definitely.A Blind injury and we'll have to start him (almost) every game.
It's unbelievable that we are on the brink of another defensive crisis and have 2 less CB's than last season.
Tbf Blackett hardly featured last season since we start to play 4 at the back and Blind can be seen as a "replacement" for Evans with Morgan the replacement for the "midfielder Blind".
We too often have 3 or more CBs out injured at the same time it's unbelievable.Our number would be fine if it was another club.
That's true I guess, and of course the Shaw injury has now set up a situation where Blind will again be spread between two positions.
It certainly feels like a curse at this point, LvG shouldn't have mentioned the less injuries stuff the other day.

Tomorrow's news will be that he is in LvG's bad books because he had a coffee with cream and sugar even though he was asked to drink black coffee without sugar.
Hmmm Carrick at CB again perhaps?
After all this time we might still have to resort to Carrick at CB. Pretty amazing.
I can't believe LVG didn't sort out the defensive problems we've had and now once again already have. We can only pray and knock on wood that Blind and Smalling stay healthy for the next couple of crucial games. Except Valencia they are all injury-prone. We knew that but I can't understand LVG's stubbornness in that regard. If this story about Rojo is true, then he should piss off. Such kind of attitude doesn't help the team in any way. Read somewhere in the newspaper that we're in for Cresswell. United class or not. We desperately need someone on the left. said that in another thread, we should go out next summer to sort out our defensive-crises. One of the top-targets should be David Alaba. He can pretty play everywhere and is right now the best left-back in the world. Probably Bayern wouldn't be interested in selling us but we should try. Take the fecking war-chest and get us 3 classy defenders. The sooner the better. This crisis can ruin our title challenge once again. Like last year's September and October!
how dare LVG get Shaw and Jones injured! He's such a prick!
Where did I say that he's to blame for Shaw's injury? I only said we're missed out to sort our injury-prone defense. And that's a fact. We're pretty solid atm but 3 injuries once again and huge matches ahead of us.how dare LVG get Shaw and Jones injured! He's such a prick!
I wanna have a laugh too!
Can't wait till the next injury and LVG is playing Carrick at the back and everybody is at panic mode. That's laughable!LVG has chosen Blind as a CB this season.
That means we have five CBs-> Smalling, Jones, Blind, Rojo and three full backs -> Shaw Darmian Valencia. That is 8 players in defence for four positions.
One can complain about the quality of the players and suggest we should have bought this defender or that. But how can we complain that we are short in numbers?
We have had this situation when we have so many experienced defenders too, one can't help it with the injuries.
Some might argue that with the injury record Smalling and Jones had, we should have had others in. Well in that case, I am not sure we would have ever seen Chris evolve into Mike. I also feel, Jones will show that is a great player for us, this year or the next.

I just checked Rojo is expected to be back from his hamstring injury on October 17th. That long? Wow. I thought it was a small injury.
I am glad Jones is getting back. I hope to see him play at CB soon.

Burnt....Just like his football career

did he go for the argentina games?
i really want to see the following back four against Everton,
Darmian Smalling Jones Rojo
Everton are no Arsenal, but I expect them to come at us, we need to be solid avoid conceding.
Jones and Rojo need to start becoming a part of the squad now. Let's hope they get a look in and stay fit.

Excellent game from him
Not sure why van Gaal wants to sell him, played very well today.
can't understand why people on here think Rojo shit......
He was very good
Very good today. Was extremely composed in the face of speedy merchants like Lukaku and Lennon.
Very good performance from him today
Did really well today bar that one lapse of concentration. A good reminder that he's not as shit as this forum decided he was over the summer for no apparent reason.
He's a poor centre back in my opinion. Good on the left
Fantastic performance. More aggression and confidence than what we've seen before.
I'm not his biggest fan, but very impressed by him today. Especially considering he's usually a postional liability, he dealt with everything - even Lukaku - extremely well.
Very decent but credit to Martial ahead of him, who gave him plenty of cover (on Coleman).
Perhaps the best Rojo has played at full back for United? Even his fouls were the right decisions. What a cross for Herrera's goal too.
Well you can always upgrade but selling him to get Indi would be stupid.
I've always like him. I reckon LVG will forgive him a bit more now. We need him guys....we really do.
