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?

It’s done lads.
Watch the story - De Ligt looks up to Babel and says "Rio Rio". It's just a greeting, because Babel's nickname is actually Rio.
It’s getting tiresome already
Babel's nickname is Rio for some reason.
Rio is Babel’s nickname.
My nickname is Van Der Sar so this makes sense..
Stupid Babel
Bored already. I'll go to sleep for 4 weeks I think
He has liked Memphis' latest post of a retro United shirt.
Probably already been mentioned, but hey....
Also i've never know anything like it. Got to be on a wum?

Babel giving hints via his nickname. Don't lose hope muppets.
Babel is trolling us the fecking prick. 
Indeed and actually let's go back a couple of steps. If he followed all those United players on Instagram just to feck around does that make him an asshole?
feck me
I would have said no 2 days ago, it would be funny. But now, its like he is going out the way to do it now. So yes. Yes it does.
Unless he joins us, then no
why is Rio trolling?

It's all bizarre these days . Sometimes I miss Teletext and a picture in the paper with the new player scarf above his head .
Are we there yet?
I keep saying it, this is the Pogba saga again, this is all a media build up, it will drag on for a while
Is it the former Liverpool player Babel?? He's winding us up the fecking prick
Babel is a bigger wum than Balague.
Wet dreams
He wasn't the one to mention us.
I will translate the conversation below but you can watch the video (in Dutch) yourself.
Reporter: Any news?
De Ligt: No news, no news.
Reporter: I read that it will be Manchester United this time.
De Ligt: Yes, that's what i'm reading everywhere too. (laughs)
Reporter: Have you seen the amount/number (wages being mentioned in the papers)?
De Ligt: Yes, i've also seen the amount. (laughs) No, I uhm....
Reporter: If it was me I would take it!
De Ligt: Yes would you take it? (laughs) They are all funny stories but you have to take it with a grain of salt. I mean, they have been talking about my future for a year now. One moment i'm going there, then the next moment i'm going there. It's nice to see where i've played already (according to the papers)
Reporter: You've already made a nice tour through Europe.
De Ligt: (laughs) Yes, that's funny.
De Ligt: We will play two nations league games with Oranje and after that I will have a holiday so that's when I can sit down and see what I want.
That Babel thing is a massive wum
I think that we're actually being really secretive about our effort to sign De Ligt, and we aren't leaking anything to the media (or downplaying things to British media). The leaks seem to be coming from Barca side. It's entirely possible that we aren't far away from signing him. But it seems like we won't know anything about where he's going until after the stupid Nations League, which ends on June 9th. And 13-14 days is a long time in Muppet timelines

I really like De Ligt. His mentality obviously shows on the pitch but even in these interviews, he's not flirting outright with clubs. He doesn't speak of a desire to play with Messi or to be the next Ferdinand when he had the opportunity to. The likes of Pogba, Griezmann, Hazard love to give cryptic comments to see what interest it generates. He's not really like that.
He knows he's moving but he'd rather not talk about anything or stirr the pot. Whoever ends up getting him will get a real star.
Wet dreams
This is just gonna drag on and on.
Babel can feck off, the irrelevant matchstick headed prick.
He isnt coming here lads.
This is the Sneijder thread all over again.

Don't tell me, you used to read the caf.
At least this had the good grace to be over in 4 days. Sneijder was torture.This is the Sneijder thread all over again.
