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?

Another cracking form. His composure in second goal was excellent.
Noticeable also how much his FKs have improved. They all look dangerous now, Zlatan and Ronaldo esque kind of FKs.

His improvement from a physical point of view is crazy. Hugely improved in the air, can hold off defenders and keeps going, doesn't let his head get down when he gets shrugged off a few times. Guy is going to be world class.
Give him a nicely deserved rest against Reading in the cup so he fecks up Spurs.

So many things he does that reminds me of a young Ronaldo for us. His shooting technique and power, the pace, the clever flicks and dribbles, and the overall confidence. Obviously he has miles to go before every being in the same conversation as Cristiano, but he has been absolutely immense for more than a month now.
Another world class freekick, this time starting Newcastle's meltdown.
Hoping people recoginize he's taking a whole lot of responsibilities these days.

He's brilliant. To think his first team United career started from luck of having too many injuries.
Was impressed with his finish today so often we’ve seen him just blast those at the keeper but he showed a bit of a Martial cold streak there, didn’t rush it and for me that’s been one of his biggest issues. Hopefully he keeps on improving that aspect of his game.
Worked his balls off again.
Nice nasty free-kick to cause the goal and a lovely finish to wrap up the result.

That finish was new for him. He's gaining confidence and it's great to see. He's becoming my favourite player.
Form of his life so far. As usual, willing running. Got roughed up a bit in the first half, but never stopped trying things and got his just reward.
Give him another 6 months 
His whole game is improving. Some of the link up play is great and he threw a nice skill again that was actually effective.
5 goals and 5 assists in his last 9 games. Mega.
Awesome performance, dealt with the rough and tough well, great finish as well. And my oh my he has learned to hold the ball up quite well
He's 21 and he's ours
I'll have to go against the grain here and say that he struggled in the game today, especially in the first half. Rashford needs to improve his game against packed and strong defenses if is to become a top striker. The entire first half I felt that we could have done much better if we had someone like RVP leading this attack.
But, but I thought he was shite and it wasn’t just that prick of a manager holding him back.
Still seems mad how often I had to defend him on here. Absurd. Thrilled to see him sparking into life again.
I mean, the amount of people that were willing to write him off under Mourinho was insane. These same people claimed that it wasn’t Mourinho holding him back when it was clear as day that it was. He’s a huge talent and still only 21
Yep, what a player we have. Haven't been this excited about academy product in a while
On course for his best goal return yet. So glad he's delivering on the potential he showed pre-Jose.
Not just goals and assists, he is such a joy to watch. Full of tricks and his shooting has improved a lot.
I thought he was poor for most the game apart from the goal. But so was Martial and a few others. I don't think our attack clicked at all today but winning 2-0 with that complaint is a great position to be in.
Took his goal well. I think that's the first time I've seen him actually score for a 1v1. May it be a turning point, for our sake.

Must have imagined him scoring the winner in a Manchester Derby then....
Hopefully that 1v1 is a turning point for him. Finishing is the one thing really missing from his game, he's still got work to do to be our future leading striker.
Forgot that one. His conversion rates on 1v1s have been shocking, though. If I could actually be arsed looking I'd imagine I'd find at least 8. That's a topic for another night.
Needs to keep listening to Ole. Bar Ruud, I'm not sure he could pick a better teacher when it comes to being a United goalscorer.
Strikers miss chances, the true test of a striker is making sure they are ready when the next one comes along. It's never been technical with Marcus, more mental and Solksjaer's words already seem to have had an effect.
What steroids is he on at the moment? Dont change the formula.
A good striker at a club as big as United should convert a 1v1 every chance they get. We're not talking about curling efforts or snapping at a shot in the box and getting unlucky by narrowly missing, we're talking about no defenders, 1v1 with the keeper. It's literally a strikers, there are no defenders in your way.
Quick search: He missed 10 consecutive 1v1 chances before tonight.
Nonsense.Would Aguero, Suarez, Messi, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Kane miss 10 1v1 chances in a row? I'd imagine they'd give you close to 90%.
Come to think of it, Cavani probably would miss them all

Imagine how many goals Marcus will be scoring if he starts converting at least half of his 1v1's then eh.
As of last month, according to a Reddit thread.
One's I can think of:
Chelsea
Reading
Bournemount
Juventus
Young Boys
Anderlecht
Belgium (with England)
Croatia Friendly (with England) misses two 1v1s.
The nonsense part was at you saying they should convert every 1v1 they get. Nobody does that. Everybody misses chances. Rashford will get better with his finishing with more experience as hes already been showing, but even the deadliest strikers miss plenty of chances. The biggest and most important skill for top strikers to have is to keep getting in goalscoring positions anyway. Aubameyang scores all the time but misses boatloads of chances.Would Aguero, Suarez, Messi, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Kane miss 10 1v1 chances in a row? I'd imagine they'd give you close to 90%.

Great to see him playing with confidence and coming into form.
One of our better academy players who will have a big future at Utd.

Arguably the favourite for premier league player of the month in December? Had a good run before Mourinho got sacked too, but has gone on another level with Ole.
Actually just looked it up. Shocking stat but since (and including) January 2011, we've only had 5 player of the month winners. Berba in January 2011, RVP in December and April 12/13, Martial in September 2015, Ibra December 2016.

Another very good performance, his touch and all round play are coming on leaps and bounds, he's holding it and linking so well and I loved how cool his finish was as we needed that second goal to clinch that game IMO. Should be the starting #9 for the rest of the season.
We had absolutely nothing from the right which made it difficult for both Rashford and Martial. Still he held the ball for us and that laselles should've been booked early . Twice Rashford got fouled and nothing was given.
