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?
He shouldn't start for 2/3 games, he's been shyte for too long. Now he's even missing sitters so he's literally adding nothing
He will start on Wednesday. Must be in his contract otherwise ETH deserves to get sacked. Laughing stock of a player right now.
Soon Garnacho will speak up about Erik's favoritism and start training with with U-18s. Rashford has disappeared game after game, it doesn't matter if he doesn't score but played well. Grealish is probably a better footballer. Rashford plays if we sit back and counterattack. Rashfords sit if they wants to play possession football. Erik needs to make up his mind on how he plays to play Rashford.
I think we've lost our golden opportunity to sell him now, unfortunately. PSG hopefully are still daft enough to look at him once Mbappe leaves but I don't think it's going to happen.
Well, yeah, there is that and they did get top 4 for the most part but they really crumbled when the pressure was on and always flattered to deceive. They always seemed ridiculously fragile for a top side (see Evra's legendary men against boys comment) but they did play better football than this team of ours that's for sure.
The talented young players they recruited is on different planet in compare to this lot. They lack leadership since their transfer policy means selling ripe players who grew delusional with forever rebuild.
Sadly we're more of Liverpool. Some good players crowded out by overhyped players and scattergun approach to transfer. Rashford maybe our version of Stevie Me. Clearly has that X factor but his overall streaky and skewed style is too unreliable to build the team around him.
He’s going to cost ETH his job and ETH is oblivious to it
Absolute fraud this season. Weghorst last season was more effective than this. The depths Rashford has dropped to this season and the season before last have been every bit as low as those Maguire has plummeted to during his varying losses of form.
we wish…
What has Alvaro Fernandez done that you want him out?
Don’t drink & type.
Massive failure in parenting for starters. I also use that description on Sancho.
He’s played under every Utd manager sacked since SAF
I’ll bite. How’s Rashford at fault for the poor performance of virtually every single player in the squad this season?
We have been saying that about Antony and could pretty much do the same for a few other current players.
He looked a different player for England recently and i do wonder if he isn't playing well because of his disdain for Erik right now particularly after what's happening with Sancho.
He's at fault for his own application to his fecking job.
He's one of the highest paid players and all he does is the square root of fick all.
more the reason to boot him the feck out.
Putting personal petty interest ahead of team's performance and pride.
He didn't play under Moyes.
It isn’t just the end product but the fact that he’s the sort of player whose got such glaring weaknesses that he desperately that paper over them. His all round game is utter gash - he consistently makes bad decisions, plays as if his team mates don’t exist, doesn’t win any 50-50s, doesn’t press or track back, keeps on trying to dribble past defences despite not being a good dribbler.
People talk about a cultural reset but it can’t happen until you have hugely paid stars who are mediocre footballers.

My bad, forgot about him!
He's a coward and it shows. No matter how many goals he scores he will always have that coward mentality about him (not pressing, pulling out of challenges, Not jumping for headers, waiting at the edge of the box instead of making runs to either post)
I hope he fecks off to PSG once Mbappe leaves and we can bring in 2 players for the same position who will cost half his value but work twice as hard

England comapre very favorable to most national sides right now except France. England has players that can carry their teams. Kalvin Phillips sucks toom but it doesn't matter when Bellingham Declan Rice would be quite good enough to carry him. Right now Kane along Haaland are the only two world class CF. Of course, playing with Kane would benefit Rashford than with an inexperienced new to the league & team Hojlund.
Here he is one of a few main men, but his decision making isn't worthy of that status to get the team built around him.
A fraud. Plain and simple.
Our players only put the effort when their contracts are up, getting really tiring following united.
Let's not forget his team openly flirted with PSG when it came down to contract talks. Bent us over a barrel while he was in his little purple patch.
Him and Sancho taking home just about 700k a week between them and nothing to show for it

Did ok yesterday I thought with limited supply. The number of times he made great runs only to not be passed to must have been well into double figures. Pass to McT which could have got us level was sensational. Shame that the one time he did receive the correct pass he didn’t manage to finish the chance off.
However, he clearly needs to improve his body language. He obviously thinks most of his teammates are not good enough and (whilst that may well be true) he needs to be a leader and work with the teammates that he has.

He has been made the face of the club and got the contract to back that up, yet he is consistently among our worst performers with a dreadful attitude on the pitch to boot. McTominay, another one who has been singled out, is atleast expected to be a fringe player at best.
27 touches in 88 minutes and lost the ball 11 times.

So why doesn't the manager drop him?
Remember people on here were ridiculed last season because they voted to get rid of him? Oh, those were the days.
I feel like there was a reason team mates did not pass to him in those instances, similarly to when players stopped playing Weghorst through. It may be the lack of confidence in him finishing the chance or may be that players are tired of him not giving them those same passes when the shoe is on the other foot...or it could just be nothing and they chose the other option each time independently of anything grander.
Either way, he's been so poor for so long and is dining out on his purple patches and academy lad status.
Well if Rashford's disdain prevents him from playing well and putting in a shift, then that is yet another reason to get rid of this fraud.
Drop him as simple as that.
Based on form, him and Bruno should be on the bench.

United are full of square pegs in round holes...Rashford can't play the LW role or the CF role, so you end up with a CF trying to play LW.
But he doesn't track back or create. Which doesn't help the LB or the CF.
But the alternatives are full of flaws as well haha. Such a mess.

Potentially the worst body language I've seen at OT yesterday. No effort to win back lost balls, no passion, no urgency.
Even in the warm up he was the only one not going all the way around the cones - seems small but really set the tone for his performance.

And he still could have been the hero... On another day, he could have had either an assist or a goal. On a perfect day, he could have registered an assist and a goal to his name. Classy ones, too. He actually did the best he could in a dysfunctional side against the best team in the world.
Which, kind of, showcases the conundrum with him. Because when he receives the ball in the wide areas and everything goes through him (it results in many touches), he remains a player who's looking for his moments in the game. I've argued this before. He's a forward that doesn't want to play centrally. And since he's not at making things happen on the half-turn, he also wants to occupy a midfielder's role without doing any of the midfielder's work. He's at his absolute best when he's running with the ball at top speed but, when he doesn’t get that, he's forcing things in search for that golden opportunity.
I suppose his partnership with Hojlund is a work in progress and that it will improve in the near future. But i also feel that, with a "proper" forward in the team, some of his struggles derive from the fact that he's asked to do a lot of "midfield" stuff. It didn't work when Mourinho brought Lukaku in. His numbers were poor and there was a lot of noise about how to get the best out of him. The manager got the sack and he got a bumper contract. Then, Solskajer brings in Ronaldo which, again, shoved him into the role of the provider from the left side. His numbers dropped, the manager got the sack, and he got a bumper contract. He enjoyed his best season under ETH by being the focal point of our attack from his wide left position. But we still missed something. Another dimension to our game in the attacking third and the ability to be threatening in what constitutes 80% of the 90 minutes: At normal speed and against set defences. We go and buy a forward who will basically occupy lots of the spaces in the box he wants to run into. The player who would come from the midfield to the wide areas and allow Rashford to tuck inside (Mount) is also still struggling. It's a mess. He has some excuses but, at some point, there has to be a debate about whether he's worth all the needed adjustments to get the best out of him and make him our main man.
The time to cash in was after a good season. He has shown over and over and over that he simply can't maintain a high level.
There was one point in the first half where he didn't get played through, threw his hands up in the air and strolled slowly out of the penalty area whilst the rest of the team continued to attack. Just completely gave up.
I've completely lost patience with him, he offers nothing right now, the very definition of an empty shirt. Can go join his mate Sancho for a while and perhaps he'll try a little harder in the future. If not, he can go to the highest bidder.

I know some people would love to have his job 
- sulk around all game
- back out of most 50/50s
- jog around while others press their bollocks off
- don't track back and have your man get into dangerous areas
- stare down the opposition defender for 5 seconds with 1 leg up, preferably waiting until all the other defenders are back into position, then pass it back to midfield
- run into a crowd of 3/4 defenders and lose the ball
- sulk around some more, preferably with both hands up to show frustration
- pick the wrong choice in the final area of the pitch 9 times out of 10, because all is forgiven that 1 time the right decision results in a goal/assist
