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?
Please tell me what was so shit about this deal!
He did something, now I don't know what but it was something.
Time to recall Henderson. That will be make him happy.
Yeah that’s what my first reaction was too
If that was their plan they'd have been better recalling him on the last day of the window, not the first.
It's not exactly United's fault Newcastle have recalled him. We didn't send him back. I expect most loans will have some form of recall option especially with keepers. The only thing United did wrong was sign him in the first place.
Who?
I mean it's no great loss but why did we agreed to a loan where they could recall him in the first place? ETH obviously doesn't fancy Heaton (tbf he's hardly played now for 2 or 3 years) so even if he's shit it leaves ETH short
Pray DDG doesn't get injured in a cup game where he'd of been rested

I like to think the blame lies at the door of EtH personally and I hope, can't speak factually as you are, hope that Murtough and EtH work this out equally and JM is not just picking players himself.
Also, who knew it would turn out this way? Dubravka is better than what we saw in that Burnley game and who was to know Newcastle would come and take him back in January.
Heaton is fine as back up. Perfectly adequate reserve keeper capable of standing in for the odd game here and there.
No chance we don't bring someone else in with games coming in thick and fast.
Heaton is one of the most well respected people in that change room, glad he'll get a chance.
It's obvious, the Saudi's dropping the shirt deal interest, and now one of their players been recalled as soon as the contract will allow.
They know something, and don't want to be associated with us.

Possibly, depends on the terms of the loan. Maybe they could only recall him back within a week or so given I doubt the club would have wanted the option of the recall to be there.
I agree it's not United or Murtough's fault that Newcastle called him. It's what you get with a loan.
Interesting, that would suggest that the Saudi's aren't the ones buying us then?
It’s the January transfer window so I wouldn’t be surprised if someone else is brought in.
Let's get John O'Shea in as DDGs backup until the end of the season
You mean Qatari involvement?
Dude, take a chill. It was a loan to cover a position that was never likely to need it. It hardly matters.
I’d also take issue with use of the word ‘another’. What has he done that was sooooo wrong? He’s got the players that the manager wanted who were available. What more can he do?
Interesting theory. Is it really that petty between Saudi and potentially Qatar that they act on a second string goalkeeper loan spell?
It would be a bit of an anticlimax though if it was just about them recalling Dubravka, because Newcastle are selling one of Karius or Darlow.
Qatar/Dubai, and they certainly don't want any of their players to be here when it happens.
Of all the keepers we've ever had, he was one of them
A reserve keeper is like having car insurance. You don’t need it until you do. You don’t look back at the end of the year and say “pffft, $2,500 spent on insurance this year and not a single claim”, but when you rear end the car in front and face a $10,000 bill, you are very likely to say “I wish I had insurance”.
We need the wages for our incoming loan striker
Joins the ranks of 'Taibi' as former Utd keepers! I breve Heaton is goid enough as a backup until the summer where we possibly need to resolve the no.1 and no.2 position in the GK department as I'm not sure any of the Utd keepers (incl. Henderson) are cut out for ETH style of play.
This is like Valdes whom we didn’t see much at all and disappeared off into oblivion
Leaves behind a Prunier style legacy.
What a keeper. Never let a goal in.
100% win record, Dubravka is a United legend. We’ve had some of the greatest keepers in the world, and Dubravka.
Only played well against us and played against us when he played for us.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
UAE is an ally of KSA. It's more like KSA and UAE vs Qatar and Iran.
Surely Heaton isn't much if any of a downgrade on Dubravka anyway?
Dubraka didn't exactly look rock solid in his appearances.

Very proud of him. I laughed I cried I fist pumped the air. 100% clean sheet. Better than De Gea, vDS and Schmeichel. Farewell Dubiaska.
This loan was really strange anyway. I never understood the need of it.
does nobody remember his shocker against Aston Villa
Well Middlesbrough. OK Oblivion. Same difference,
People who are saying they never understood this signing because we have Tom Heaton do realise Heaton is 36 and hasn’t played a PL game in 3 years, right? He also looked absolutely hopeless on the pre-season tour.
We absolutely need a better #2 then that and will now have to find someone this January, which is a bit of a pain. The fact that Dubravka didn’t work out very well doesn’t change the fact that it was a signing that made total sense at the time.

Rumours he's going to be used in a deal for Maddison
Damn.
What am I to do with my Dubravka shirt now?
