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.

Conte won’t come without at least a 2.5 year contract. Like you, I don’t want him, but something needs to happen.
Conte will require more spending, something I can't picture our owners being enthusiastic about.
Hkw has Conte imploded at other clubs? Just curious because I haven't really followed his career.
Yeah, but then we’d buy them players that don’t fit their philosophies.Do we reckon Ronaldo would accept Fat Sam? Isn’t this the kind of situation he goes for?
I would want someone like Potter or ten Hag. Somebody who actually has a recognisable philosophy would be a good start!
People need to get this idea out of their heads that the manager has to be long term. Ole is shite and needs to go. If that means hiring Conte for 12 months until he goes AWOL fine, sack him and find another manager who wants the job. Every other top clubs manage to sack managers and find decent replacements. The days of having a manager for 25 years are long gone. The fact Ole has been given 3 years is a joke. Cardiff sacked Mick McCarthy straight after the game yesterday. Same thing should have happened to Ole.
Give it to Ince till end of season
I don’t want Conte, City, Liverpool or Chelsea likely wouldn’t want him so neither should we. Get a progressive manager, favour attacking football and bring the entertainment back. We’ve had four managers post Fergie and none of them are good at setting a team up to attack and score goals.
Brucey is available
Ten Hag is the only appointment that will excite me.
Who could we even appoint as an interim? If we dont make a change, this is going to get really, really bad - but is an interim manager really a viable option for us?
It can't be anybody involved currently and I don't think it could be another inexperienced ex-player. Are there any legendary managers currently out of work/in semi-retirement?

We don't need Zidane to attract world class players.
We have world class players and we need someone who can get the most out of them.
It has to be Conte.
Ten Haag doesn't have the Premier League experience, Pochettino hasn't proved he can get over the line and win something.

Let's take whatever clown is available and then stick with him even when someone good comes along.
Just like we did with Ole. Jeez.

Maybe someone who was a well loved ex player who will really get the morale up....
I don’t know enough about ten Hag. Could someone explain why he is the right person for us and not just flavour of the month?
I get a feeling a lot of people suggesting him and only doing so because of received wisdom and don’t actually know anything about him

I can’t see anyone other than Conte or Zidane getting it, if they don’t want it maybe club will try and ride this out. It’s a long time to have a caretaker in charge and they are stupid enough to make same mistake made with Ole if they did decent job.
Don’t believe anyone will know what to do if Conte or Zidane turn them down, my money is Conte, think he’d want it still if he gets promised money to spend in January.

I've moved into the Conte camp too.
He's won stuff, here as well as elsewhere, and you can be certain he'll have a more efficient system imposed quick smart and cut out these ludicrous goals we're leaking.
I picked him so can only speak for myself, but I imagine its because we've gone for the sentimental approach (Moyes, Ole) and the "tried and tested" route (LVG, Jose) and both approaches have failed. I think its time we go for a progressive manager with a more modern grip on the game, and Ten Hag fits the bill with his brand of football. Its the high risk high reward type of appointment we should be making IMO, but I don't think the board would do it.
Two Eredivisie wins, two KNVB Cup wins. Got Ajax to the semi final of the Champions League. They play very good football. Is a Pep Guardiola is my idol.
he’s really all you could ask for in a manager.
It's a nightmare. The options above are uninspiring, bad fits or just outright gambles.
I'm tired of clowns, but Gattuso could at least slap the shit out of people.
after today id suggest left back as well
Ten Haag could just be another LVG attempt at total football.
Doing it at a poor level in Holland is very different to doing it in the Premier League.

Here's an interesting one - would you take Zidane/Conte now, or persist with Ole until the end of the season if thats what it takes to get Ten Hag in?
Shaw was one of the best players at the Euros, its clear his issue has been the coaching.
I want to see an indentity. It's been 8 years. This individual brilliance can take us only so far
hope it's not zidane.
think conte would be the best mid-season appointment.
ten hag is a long-term project. not sure he'd even want to come midway through a very promising season.
can't see rodgers or mancini joining either. and would prefer ten hag to both of them.

Get Rodger's
No. Get a caretaker in as Ole should have been.
Ten Hag if we can buy him out or Luis Enrique for me. I'm sick of this shite approach to football. With the resources we have and the 96 years we seem willing to give our managers, I just want us to be able to go head to head with the best teams. With a good coach, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to.
So you'd take a caretaker until the end of the season and wait for Ten Hag for next season?
What has Ten Hag done to get so many votes? Genuinely curious.
Is that the LVG total football that gave us the two most dominant victories at Anfield in my lifetime, I’d take that right now.
I'd take a fecking broom and bucket right about now.
He'd Probably jump at the chance.
I'm not 100% against rodgers, but would prefer Ten Hag.
Not possible with the board we have.
The people in charge of the footballing decisions will continue to fail upwards. As long as the club is making bank at the stock market they could nary give a rats arse what happens on the pitch.
For the longest time, the biggest change I've ever wanted for this club is at the top in the board.
Get that right and everything else falls into place.
No but he would like to get one over on City wouldn't he?
I wasn't against LVG but our league form by the time he left was shocking.
He won us an FA cup atleast.
But then you have the problem that if it goes brilliantly, as it did with Ole at first, you're bound to appoint them.
