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 his second 45 mins for us in a pre season match where all players aren't match fit.... he's hardly going to go balls to the wall.
I'm really excited for this kid.
Hopefully you're right and he tries to take on his man and make things happen more than he's shown so far.
From what I've seen at PSV and even a few times for us he does like to take people on.
Plus we have to remember, as we have seen with Januzaj, I think the days of our swift incisive counter attacks, running at the defence etc are over.
Van Gaal has a philosophy and that involves keeping possession, not losing the ball stupidly etc
It really doesn't benefit players who run at players such as Januzaj.
He looks incredibly talented, but doesn't look like a #10 in the slightest.
I hope this is just an experiment, and he's shifted to the wing pronto.

I think he is actually a decent Ten, very creative. . great first touch and passing, can go either way, good movement and quality finisher.
For the sake of the side however I think we should utilise him on the wing for now and go 4 3 3. If we don'tbbring in a striker, he'll be a more dangerous 9 than Rooney simply cause he has legs in him and ability to create chances for himself.

I just love the stuff he says to the media. He truly cares and there's no doubt he is motivated as hell to have a great career here.
He has both unbeleivable talent and seemingly equally unbeleivable dedication. A professional like him is destined to reach the top.

If anything, that shows he's quite mature. No need to go all out in pre-season games and try too hard, he'll have the regular season to do that. It's good that he's pacing himself.
Difficult to judge at the moment with only 90Mins played. Those deft touches remind me a little bit of Berbatov and Cantona, and his occasional off target shooting reminds me a little bit of Ronaldo (2003-2005). He oozes confidence though. So far very impressed, and I think he'll emerge as the buy of the season easily.
I hope LVG won't play in this position for weeks and months only to revert him back to what seems to be his best and most obvious position...
Massive as in Shaw's ass?
Expect some blunders/awkward interviews from Memphis in the future, he's had a few in his time at PSV. Media handling isn't his strong point and neither is the english language. Luckily he doesn't seem to care about what the media think of him ('I rather let my feet speak') so we can laugh at it, he does care about fans. He doesn't post extremely stupid stuff on his twitter anymore so he is improving/got told off too many times luckily.
I can't wait to see him and Shaw down that left wing together
They're the " hip youngin's" of the squad, they will band together.
So good to see
He speaks great English too!
Shawphis/Memphaw
Good to see our new man settling in.
Doesn't look like he is short of confidence, and that is exactly what we need.
Hopefully that can rub off on some of the other youngsters.

Here's the full video of that interview
Top player
That interview just reminds of the good old United days when it was like a family! Not that any of us were there but you could feel it.
Sure hope that wasn't under the shower Luke.
Do we think he'll be a starter from the off?
Admittedly I'm asking this from a fantasy football angle!

Haha wait for the Barca game tomorrow, if he starts in that and puts in a performance then I would expect we will see him on day 1.Do we think he'll be a starter from the off?
Admittedly I'm asking this from a fantasy football angle!
Yeah, good point. Tomorrow's game should give us a better idea about LVG's thinking on him, the midfield three, etc
I think so. He's physically really strong and fast so he'll be ready that way, and on the ball he's really talented and has shown that and maturity on the pitch, not wasting or rushing things on the ball. He gives us something our other wingers don't, specifically his goal threat and his pace/strength so for that reason I can see him being one of the first names on the team sheet more often then not this season, right from the off.Do we think he'll be a starter from the off?
Admittedly I'm asking this from a fantasy football angle!
For those who've watched him regularly...is he better on the left or as a #10?
He's definitely a winger.
But he can do a job up front or behind the striker if needed.

Definitely not IMO.Do we think he'll be a starter from the off?

Well since he's played on the left about 98% of the times in his carreer I'd say he's best there. Van Gaal might see him as a 10 or 9 though.
Nice to see Shaw and Memphis entering a relationship
That interview is kind of disturbing 
Left or striker
I can't get over how much of a tank he is yet so quick. His shoulders are massive.
"He calls me massive all the time " 
Why do you say that? Just wondering as he's been decent so far in pre season and may get more opportunities in the final two games.
Theres no way these two aren't in love with each other

Love at first sight. Laughing and touching each other.
Caf shippers. 
I hope we get to see him play from the left of a front 3, I don't know why LvG would want to convert him to a #10 right off the bat, hopefully it's just a pre-season experiment.

Except logic, normal human behaviour, real life...
He's very likely to start the game against Spurs. LVG said he will most likely go with tomorrow's lineup for the new season and apparently during today's training session Shaw, Darmian, Jones, Blind; Schneiderlin, Carrick; Mata, Young, Depay and Rooney were training together.
