Probably the best midfielder in the history of the game.

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?

I’m excited with this one (if it happens)
Probably? Probablyy??
Really @BluesJr ?

50m flop in the making
I'm sorry just didn't want to go too hard too soon.
Best defensive midfielder in the world is pint size!
Is he a good boy though ?
Whats the reported fee?
USD 5m is a bargain. He seems quite similar to Fred but with an upgraded technical ability. Very exciting signing, much more so than Pellistri. Diallo also super interesting.
I heard 6m ...
£4.9m
I’ve heard he likes balloons and Icelandic women... Jokes

Very good move from the club!!
The fact that United is his dream is a big deal.

I have to say, I'm into this. 
Hopefully he signs inn Jan and is complete shit.
He will then turn into a fantastic player, like Vida and Evra

Don't mind these low risk type signings. We probably do need another body in midfield, even if it's just for the lesser cup games.
178cm, do not want.
love this type of Signing. We have a few pokers in the fire now when it comes to Young players coming through.
Same height as Roy Keane
Well nice move by the club, hopefully he can fulfil some of that potential. Will be a bargain if so
We're not managed by Jose, anymore.
Can't say I know anything about him but @Adnan knows his stuff and seemed positive about him so that's a good sign. Love all the youth recruitment since Ole's arrival.
We seem to be moving for players before they make that second reputation-building move. Even if only one player works out of four, it's still cheaper than a world-record centreback fee.

You know more than me mate. I've just heard positive stuff about the player and the poster in here who knows more than me about players in SA is @NYAS
But Tim Vickery seems to rate him very highly too which is a good sign.
The top teams maybe yes.
But the teams under the top teams still use players who are going to cause problems in the air. Thats one of the better ways to get at the teams focusing on their CBs playing out and not other parts of being a defender. An example would be teams like West Ham and Aston Villa. West Ham have Soucek who has probably been their best player, getting forward and being a threat in the air. And Villa have Watkins who has scored 2 with his head, as well as 2 with either foot. But importantly, having a weakness in the air isnt just about actual headed goals. An example there is Lindelof's goal where Martial got a flick on a set piece and that created a chance for someone else.
Teams will usually have at least 1 player right now who would fancy himself to get on the end of a set piece and cause trouble regardless of whether McTominay has joined Maguire in the lineup. We had the tallest team in the league under Mourinho and our weakness was still set pieces.
It says that?

You're the go-to guy on here, it's like having a Caf scout. Fair play, you genuinely are very insightful when it comes to summarising players, especially the more obscure ones. And you're a good lad too, will always take the time to give a detailed reply when anyone asks about players, managers etc. I appreciate it.
In today's league we won't get carrick at all as 60m to 80m would be quoted. It's what happened with Maguire. Very good player, who is not world class, but with the transfer fee of a star.
Nos Vemos en Manchester
I appreciate it mate but please forgive when I'm wrong because I will be at times..
Thiago double swoop?
Haha, you've always been spot on from what I've seen. I'll forgive one bad call but no slacking
Going for highly rated young players is pretty exciting, I’m all for this.
Looks promising. Gonna get a red card in his first match cause Jon Moss needs a breather though.
Longstaff..Haha, you've always been spot on from what I've seen. I'll forgive one bad call but no slacking
Shsshhhh that never happened!Longstaff..
I have to apologise for arguing with you on that one, please forgive me mate..
just been watching some clips and he's impressive for his age
struggling to think of many players have been so physically dominant in midfield at that age, actually I can't think of any
also another crushing blow for Brexit FC
