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.

May is still a world away.
Just hope the eejit doesn't rush him back like he did pogba. Take your time. Save him for Leicester city or the EL final if necessary.
Will we never learn. The amount of players we tried to get back earlier for tournaments / finals has come back to bite us. Key players at the time.
Beckham and Rooney IIRC.

But you have to bear in mind the player will often be desperate to play for his country in a major tournament
I’d rather he take the rest of the season and summer off and come back on July 1st FULLY recuperated ready to spearhead a league challenge with his buddy Jadon!
feck England btw. I can see him being rushed back for the Euros and breaking down
We'd be stupid to play him before the end of the season and allowing him to be in contention for England.
England also have the likes of Kane, sterling, Sancho and Grealish and are hardly in desperate need of Marcus.

Exactly. People act like Manchester United will be the one who decides if Rashford goes or not.
In the end Rashford needs to make the decision to go or not to go. All the club can do is convince or try to preasure him into not going.
We cant exactly block the lad from going to the Euros if he’s fit, can we? That would be disastrous for his relationship with the club.
You're mad if you think Rashford won't drag himself to the Euros. These tournaments dont done come round often and I'm sure he will be desperate to go even if not 100%.
For us it may be Club over Country but players won't want to sit at home.

I could be wrong (I hope I am) but I can't imagine any other set of fans in any other countries having the 'who cares about the national team' the way so many fans in England feel about their national team. I kow the England team is perceived to have underachieved a lot, but at least we make it to the tournaments. Scotland and Wales haven't got a great record in qualifying for the tournaments, yet their fans still passionately care about their national teams.
The media takes a share of the blame, they used to hype us up a lot then throw the team under the bus when they failed. 2018 was a notable exception. I care abut England doing well as much as I care about Man United and no amount of disappointment will change that. We (Man United fans) have had plenty of disappointed since 2013 yet that doesn't stop us supporting them. Why should the national team be any different?

The forum isn't just fans from England -it's world wide. So if a lot of them are saying they don't care for the England games, I'm sure it's also because some aren't English.
Nah don’t really care about England, I’ll enjoy the major tourneys when they are on but it’s 100% Utd >>>>>>>> England
Euros will hopefully be cancelled due to covid.
hope not, I managed to get tickets to the semi finals.
I was just looking through the penalties United have got in the PL.
We have 10 which is 3 ahead of second place. We're well clear of the rest in terms of being awarded penalties in the league.
But more to the point, I went back and looked at who earned them:
Chelsea
Rashford won it
Rashford scored
Wolves
Pogba won it
Pogba missed
Palace
McTominay won it
Rahford missed
Leicester

Rashford doesn't get the credit he deserves for this in the stats, but he's won 4 penalties this season. When the opposition can't stop him legally, they have to stop him illegally. We miss him a lot.

I miss his Ronaldo chops inside of the box.
All this ‘rushed back’ talk. He has a stress fracture. A simple scan will reveal whether or not the bone has fully healed or not. He won’t be back before that happens.
If that's the case, most of us will not have a job by then anyway.
I hope he takes proper rest and does not play for England. No point in returning after two months and not doing rehab properly. Would affect us next season.

Good article, he talks the talk and this season he's really walked the walk. Hopefully he's back fully fit next season, we have some brilliant young players
Miss him too. Fantastic player who got his injury at the worst time for him. I hope it doesn’t knock him off his stride as he was really in the ascendancy at the time. I believe he was going to push on to become a 35 goal player next season with the way his trajectory was going.
We need at least one of the front 3 to be a ruthless, goal-a-game forward, and I think that could be him.

I really don't want to see him back this season. Our medical department is useless and you can almost guarantee he will aggravate it because we rushed him back too soon. Let him rest properly and come back fired up in August.
There has always been a famous saying, 'UNITED > ENGLAND'. I presume you must be young.

Top lad.
A good lad our Marcus.
Concerning his injury I hope he's not feeling pressured to comeback too quickly due to the upcoming International tournament.
I feel he needs a good recovery period without being in a pressured state.

If he turns into Henry (started on the wing, then became a fabulous striker), it may solve "where would Grealish play?" conundrum. Although I have a serious doubt it will happen. His finishing is just not there. So LF is his best bet for now.
Plus a few matches before he gets the match rhythm again.
The injury was such a shame.
He'd have absolutely walked the PL golden boot the way it's gone. He's still only 3 goals off Vardy and Aubameyang.
Rashford will put the fear factor back in opposition when he is back. Didn't have this kind of players since we had Rooney and Ronaldo in their pomp. I am not saying he is on their level yet but he definitely puts the fear of God in the opposition. What a player to have come from Academy.
When’s he back?
Look how quickly Gomes came back. Poor from Rashy...
Italians are generally not overly bothered about the national team and the same can be said of many parts of Spain (it’s split into different areas and some of them are very anti-Spain).
However, some countries tend to be more passionate about the national team - unsurprisingly it is usually the nations with weaker domestic leagues.
I think he’d have gone on to smash the Euros as well. Honestly felt like this was ‘his year’. Furious.
If he can score 20-30 goals a season from wing forward position, why need to start him as a striker?
We miss him especially in these big games.
His big game record is fantastic, he seems to relish the important occasions.
