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?
He got away with a shocker in the League Cup final too.
Clear red.
Did he get booked ?
He did retrospectively but in truth he should've gone for that. Had the chance to pull away too.
Var looked at it as well 
This.
Is he very dirty or just very clumsy? Hard to tell really given the quality of the player

Between that and the Fabinho one against City, that’s a massive slice of luck.

Hannibal? He's just living up to his name.
What is the point of it exactly?VAR man

Basically to draw a line on the screen for offside. Anything else they won’t touch. And they’ve even made a meal out of offsides.
His foot ends up on the calf, that's painful but not really dangerous to be fair.
Yup. That’s the most damning thing about it.
It definitely is.
Disgrace. We’d of won that if he’d been sent off.
It's not, his leg isn't stuck anywhere, there's no joint involved, he pretty much steps on a muscle. Painful but not very dangerous.
From that clip he's looking to put his right foot down somewhere as his left is about to go under him. He guesses at some space opening between Lingard's legs but Lingard keeps them closed. It's too late to stop the step down but he manages to prevent a full stamp.
That's all imho. Keita is not a dirty player really. Not even in that Chelsea challenge. Clumsy. Thiago on the other hand. He can be dirty.

sorry you’ve lost me. this is the Keita thread?
Right you are. Keita...dirty fecker.
He does look a bit less useless these days granted. Still. Not Klopps finest hour bringing him in
I'd actually prefer him starting over Henderson. I think age is starting to hit the latter. Without the energy and running Henderson's not a very useful midfielder for us. Keita's done well at times this season but I'd like to see him get a run starting with Fabinho & Thiago. At this stage of the season we can't really afford to mess around much.
Liverpool fans
Agree about City but them winning 4-0 with a man sent off against us would be too embarrassing. I'd say we were lucky there.VAR man

It is a red card. It is not like they would have ruined the game at that point either, but whatever, referees can do whatever the feck they want anyway.
Luckily it doesn't matter. Clumsy, intentional, whatever. Endangering opponents is a red card and both 'challenges' endangered his opponents.
Could have been a red, but seeing these in slow motion often makes it look worse, or more intentional, than it was. The first contact looks like an attempted back heel, and only in the collision after does he step on Lingard's calf.
I think it’s serious foul play. That’s a red.
If his attempt to back heel a ball in mid air means he stamps on someone’s leg, he should stop trying back heels.
I remember making the same rationalisation when Costa stamped on Can all those years ago. Just took the most positive possible explanation and sang that song like a canary to anyone who would listen. It was still a dirty stamp though, but who cares. I'm defending my guy until the bitter end
I think it was dangerous. He steps on a muscle, true, but he could've twisted the knee that way. it doesn't look intentional to me though, just careless. It's still a red in my opinion.
He made an additional movement with his foot to put more pressure..
I don't have any problem with it.
Do people not remember Paul "Doesn't know how to tackle... *wink*... Scholes or Roy "I go to hurt players" Keane?
Shake it off and move on.
At least the Liverpool players tackle, even if it's badly timed and/or malicious.

Has had a few moments this season where he would have nothing to say if he had been sent off, and that challenge yesterday is definitely one of them. Weird thing is that he's not really a dirty player, so I really do think that it's just clumsiness in his game. Not that it matters if you evaluate the incidents for a red card, of course.
He was like that at Leipzig as well. I didn’t check his bookings record but I was always afraid he was gonna injure one of my team‘s players.
Coming up to 5 years at the club and he has been absolutely rubbish. So much hype.
One of the worst signings on the last decade for me.
