In the latest edition of the United Hour Podcast, we interview Duncan Drasdo of MUST - covering ticket prices, new stadium, INEOS and what fans should be demanding from our club.
Also, due to technical issues we couldn't put a notice up for the previous episode which was about the game against Bournemouth and other stuff. If you'd like to listen to it, click here.

The problem with all the players you mention is that they have the quality to shine even in a team that is dysfunctional. It’s not as though Harry Kane, for example, needed a team full of world class players at Spurs. He was so good he elevated lesser players. Rooney and Ronaldo could do that too, in their prime. But once they were over the hill they had the opposite effect. The team was compromised by trying to accommodate them.
As far as Rashford is concerned he either peaked crazy early, or simply isn’t as good as we thought he was. Either way, he’s more of a burden on the team than a benefit in the vast majority of games he’s played over the last season and a bit.
Getting relegated is by far and away the absolute worst thing that could happen to our club.
A lot needs to change, but we don't need relegation to be the catalyst.
And despite the shakey results since Amorim's taken over, with the change in playing style and ownership, it does feel like we're about to turn a new leaf.
Things will just need to get worse before they get better. If that means freezing out Rashford, then I'm all for it
There is no way on earth we are getting relegated this season it's pointless even mentioning it.
There's enough drama without adding to the narrative (not you).
The new guy's not had a pre season or any incomings as yet. He's identified Amad which is a positive and he looks like he's keen to rid us of the deadwood so I wouldn't even begin to judge him for a long time yet.
Anyone coming in here feeling vindicated is completely clueless.
I think it’s highly unlikely we get relegated because the teams in the bottom three are truly woeful. But we did just get bullied by Wolves who are, as it stands, in the bottom three (Leicester are 1 up at time of writing).
Our next points probably come against Southampton and then after that who knows.
You literally bumped a thread that hasn't been posted in since Sunday. I'd say that's clueless!
Not one person posted after the match on this thread so what are you on about?
Reckon he will get his farewell game against Newcastle, even if it's sub appearance he deserves something, shit way to go really if he just disappears in the January window.
He deserves feck all given the way he’s conducted himself over the past 2-3 years
Ultimately, the decision to reintegrate Rashford into the squad will rest with Amorim. However, as suggested in the post you replied to, it would be a shame if Rashford’s time at the club ends the way it seems to be heading. While many will focus on his struggles over the past couple of years, it’s important not to overlook the positive contributions he has made to the club during his career.

Hard to see how he doesn’t at least make the bench for the next match with Bruno suspended. If he doesn’t, will be interesting to see if Amorim sticks with the line that it’s his decision based on footballing reasons, which is starting to stretch pretty thin already.
What about them? I didn’t feel Ronaldo’s previous excellence excused his behaviour in his last season, so in no way should Rashford’s (and excellence would be a stretch in describing Rashford’s other years.)
I’m assuming footballing reasons includes performance in training - perhaps that hasn’t been up to standard
If I have to explain then it's pretty pointless.
We’ve completely capitulated since Rashford was first excluded from the match day squad. It looks to me as though the players are against Amorim’s treatment of him.
If he’s not training well or applying himself appropriately—which, according to Amorim, he isn’t at the moment—then it’s hard to see how he could be included in the squad, regardless of Bruno’s suspension.
Or maybe it's because we're a bit shite?
His attitude represents all that is wrong within the club. Believing you have made it just by wearing the shirt. Then believing you are bigger than the club and forgetting football is your bread and butter.
He doesn't deserve a farewell runout, he is being paid £350k a week.
He was dropped against City and we won…
So you can’t then?
We are, but something has happened behind the scenes. Mark my words. They are not playing for the manager at all.
It’s just my opinion. Something has happened behind the scenes. The drop off in our performance level over the last few weeks is insane.
I dunno which myth is more annoying. The idea that loads of fans thought simply not playing Rashford would turn us into a better team. Or that bringing him back into the team now would do the same.
Obviously dropping him solves nothing, unless his place in the team is taken by a quality footballer. Similarly replacing a poor quality footballer with a footballer who has been playing as badly as Rashford over the last season and a half will obviously not improve us either.

He was a decent player for a while, but then so was Martial. Off the pitch, it’s a different story and nothing will ever diminish what he accomplished, but then guys like Richarlison also do great things off the pitch, but that doesn’t (and shouldn’t) mean they’ll get any special treatment as far as playing time goes.
Sooner we get shot of him the sooner we can move on from this circus.
Comparing Richarlison's achievements to Rashford's? Really? And just to clarify, I wasn't referring to anything off the pitch.
We've won against City and played relatively
The issues are squad quality and our overall bottling mentality (yet another example of United crumbling straight after the half-time break?). Not the non-existent protest against Amorim's treatment of a lazy & underperforming player.
How bad must he be in training? 
Will swiftly be replaced by another circus.... Y'all never learn
Marcus is going, but if anyone thinks this will change our fortunes on its own, they are having a laugh
I just choose not to. As I said, it's pointless. If you're so interested, I'm sure a quick google search will help you out.

It seems like a repeat of the Sancho and Ten Hag situation. Amorim is likely waiting for an apology from Rashford, but it appears Rashford isn’t ready to offer one.
De Gea who is a bigger player for United than Rashford was discarded quietly. He didn’t even throw a tantrum about wanting to leave yet we are supposed to give this guy a “send off”. Let’s stop being sentimental to the wrong people. Send him packing and let’s all move on.
I understand people wanting to stand by him, local lad etc, but he clearly wants out and has told us as such. So let’s move him on, stop talking about it and try to build a new team where people work for each other
Just because De Gea didn't get the send off he deserved doesn't mean Rashford doesn't deserve one. Rashford is right up there with De Gea as being among our most important and key players of the in the last ten or so years.
No he isn’t. De Gea was player of the year 4 years out of the time he was here and he won countless matches on his own with his saves. Rashford had one very good season with his 30 goals. Being a key part and actually performing like one are two different things. Sure de Gea made mistakes but he performed like a key player more often than not and many more time than Rashford did.
I think he'll outlast Amorim at the club, which is both depressing and funny at the same time. I never want to see him in a United shirt again though.
