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.

Absolutely not, as historically inaccurate as the film is it still stirs the blood
Ffs mods, get this thread back on track.
There are already separate threads for comparison, take that shit there and keep this thread just for the player performance.

Marcus's Ball.
Man Utd 1:0 Tottenham
Looks up for it.
Our best bet for a goal I reckon.

Good free-kick
Only United player to play in all 16 of our games this season.
Needs to not take corners or free kicks. All this height and we barely make use of it.
He's doing his best, but him and Lukaku aren't great pairing.
He has played very matured, fairly happy with him.
He's quite good at them, hasn't worked today though.
We ever scored from his corners? In fact, I remember him scoring from them when hes not taking.
Only positive which has been the case so many times already in his young career. Need to try to get him on ball more. Supply as been so poor though
One of about three players to come out of that half with any credit.
Hes been the best of our attack but has pretty much given it away every time too. Though the effort is there.
One thing ive noticed is he doesnt have much of a partnership with lukaku. Even when hes on the wing. You sed martial link up with him way more (or with rashford) in limited gametime then lukaku and rashford do with each other.

Agreed. Martial can combine with both, so I'd use him in the Mkhi role and link with both..
Good game, I thought he was unlucky to be the one hooked as I thought he was playing better than Lukaku when the Martial sub time came, out of the front 3 he was the only one keeping the ball and really putting pressure on Spurs defense.
He needs to really improve his aerial game if he fancies being a striker in the long term. He doesn't even bother jumping up for it half the time, just backs into the defender.
Was the best out of our attackers in the 1st half. He showed good skill and intelligence but couldn't do a lot due to lack of support. He has shown this season that he is improving steadily both physically and mentally.
You gotta keep a finisher like Lukaku on though. Especially with him being a target man, worked for the goal as well.
good performance.
Very good performance that just lacked the end product.
Decent free-kick. His corners were mostly rubbish. Tried hard but didn't get much service and tended to get closed down quickly.
His dead ball work, especially as corner taker needs significant improvement. Seems as though he has no idea what will come out of his foot as he kicks the ball, or that he cant make his feet do what his brain wants it to do.
Am sure it will come, but the inconsistency is costing us.

He barely has a connection with Lukaku and just doesnt make the right action enough when in attack. The amount of times he gets the ball and refuses to want to cross is also very annoying to me. Sometimes he just needs to create a space and whip one in but he wont do it.
Our first goal of the season came from a Rashford pass to Lukaku, against Huddersfield Lukaku made the cross for Rashford. We've won the majority of our league games with them playing together.
If he was playing for Dortmund...
Almost as if he's a teenager still learning the game.
Watching Mbappe often has probably distorted my views.
I still dont see it. Its not a slight on him, I dont think our whole attack has any connection.
Fair, feels like it's been disjointed for a while now. Aside from Valencia, it's as if we've been operating the last few seasons without a threat from the right side.
We have no hope of signing him. He's bound for Bayern.
Such a good talent. Thank god we have him.
Not teenager anymore. Scoring hat trick would be awesome birthday.
26 goals including 13 in the league as a teenager, great record.
Can't believe he's only just turned 20. Pretty mental his average rating on here is a 6.5, 16 appearances many of which were as a sub and he's been scoring and assisting.
He's averaging a goal or an assist every 75 mins ffs.

It's a great read! Puts in context how fortunate we are to have Marcus. I'm excited to see his development.
But did you take a look at some of the comments below? Pathetic. How people can be so bitter towards him is beyond me.
Will Play 45- 60 mins today as a striker i feel andthen willbereplaced by lukaku.
The potential for Rashford to go on and become an all time great at United is all there to see. I love watching him play and he can only get better. He's up there with M'bappe/Asensio/Dembele as one of the future world stars of the game imo
