He could've gotten rid of him or recommended a loan.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

That's got nothing to do with Memphis' individual talent. Its also "much easier" to score goals in France and we've bought Ibra and Martial over the past 12 months.
Yeah but if he only displays that talent in that league or against teams of a lower level then people will obviously begin to doubt whether he's actually that talented which is all that's happened. People have already questioned that Ibrahimovic will be able to score as many as he did in France and plenty questioned Martial. Happily Martial has shown for Utd that he's a talented player. Depay hasn't.
Bournemouth 1:3 Man Utd
That's a shame since the league has no correlation to a player's individual talent. As has been mentioned, the Dutch league has produced a laudndry list of players infinitely better than Memphis who replicated their talent in many other leagues during their careers. It is therefore down to the individual and not the perceived strength of the league.
It does if they can't translate it to playing at a higher level. Anyone saying that a player is shit because of the league they came from is obviously wrong. Is that what people are doing though? Surely people are just saying that he's not as talented as some think because he's only displayed it in a clearly poor level of competition.
Was that him near the end doing the attempted dribble on the edge of our box?
Yeah. Really stupid decision
Yes. A shit attempt, as well.
Had a nice moment or two on the edge of their box, least he looks like he might get his confidence back.
Didn't look too bad in that short cameo.
Promising cameo. You can see what Mourinho is already doing for his confidence.
He did better than usual, other than giving the ball away in the box for that injury time scramble.
Against another team that mistake in the box would have cost us.
He showed some positives as an attacker, but if he wants to get more minutes, then he has to stop the defensive errors

This. Some nice attempt going forward but need to stop taking risk near our own penalty box. He did had a few defensive feck ups last season as well.need to cut this out.
Yeah, that's what I feel. It's not like there is any other player who destroyed the Eredivisie (Huntelaar, Bony, RvN) who are any worse than Depay of 15/16 - it's obvious he's not at the level he can be at. There's more to it than calling him flat track, because it's as if it's his twin brother playing. He hasn't shown us anything yet.
True, though I watched a lot of the NT performances over the last few seasons and there were games when he was putting 3 or 4 chances on a plate for Huntelaar or RVP and they wouldn't convert anything. His two best games of the run in were against a tough Watford side and Arsenal, so he's definitely capable of making the step up in quality.
No chance his confidence and consistency was gone in club colours so was gone for NT as well?
Hard to turn it on and off. If it's off, it's off.
I still think that Depay can be a superstar. Hope Jose can get him back on track
Memphis gave Bellerín the run around last season, so don't tell me he can't perform against athletic full-backs.
It's a matter of confidence and excessive muscle mass, in my opinion.

I thought he did some good things in his short cameo. The only negative was him trying to dribble the ball in our own penalty box.
He shouldn't be allowed in the defensive third, makes too many mistakes there. Think he will be a lot better going forward though
He's just hilariously bad to be playing at the very top. Brainless, shouldn't be allowed in own half as said. Not enough pace or awareness to to truly frighten anybody any good going forward. The only positives thus far are that he has tricks to roast poor players with, shoots well occasionally. That's your lot.
Memphis DeMilne isn't a totally unfair comparison.

Give him a game against Hull. Martial looks slightly out of sorts and I think a rest and for him to sit back for a bit would do him well. Also, Memphis will want to seize this opportunity and hopefully we will have 2 potential stars in form and fighting for the same spot
No way. Better start Mkhi or Lingard if we have to change Martial.
He should be at the bottom of the pecking order. Outside today's XI Mhkitaryan, Lingard, Rashford, Herrera and Young should all be ahead of him (not necessarily for the exact same position). He isn't good enough.
Exactly. Outside the nowadays lightweight Eredivisie, he hasn't shown anything. In the competetive international matches he has been quite useless, and his WC2014 performance is heavily overrated here. And his last season was amongst the all-time worst by any United player.
I would like him to succeed, but there are just loads of better players out there.
I think he should be played in Europa cup or the League cup. Play a full 90 minutes, hopefully do well because its against lower opposition and regain confidence.
If he can do that, then phase him in vis sub minutes into the PL 1st XI.

I know it was you who tumbled dried my shorts Zlatan...
Start him against Hull. Depay-Mkhitaryan-Martial behind Zlatan.
Whahaha!
I bet Memphis loves Ibra, hopefully Ibra can have a good influence on him confidence wise.
I think he will. I'd like for him to get a run out soon as I think he's got the talent to make it here.
We can only hope. I don't see them mentioning Ibra giving Memphis tips but I can only hope.
Telegraph says he's for sale but the club want close to what they paid for him.
I.e. He's not going anywhere.

Simply isn't going to get enough game time to change things around.
Until Europa league comes around. If the likes of him and Rashford shine them they will get better chances in the first team.
He'll be given starts or sub appearances in the cups. Probably see him or Young on the left in the cups. Doubt he'll get many starts for EL at least initially.
He can't be happy at not even making the bench... again. a loan might be the best thing for him.
