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.

He’d love it under Ralph, as he likes evening training sessions.
He is useless and has financial demands bordering on mental illness. Give him to Newcastle, they need him more.
Hope we go nowhere near him.
No young player would accept a lower salary than the one he is currently on. You'd have to be really silly to do that.
I hope he leaves Barcelona, only with what we would save in wages we would amortize a good signing.
Same options as Pogba. Newcastle PSG or us. Hopefully not us on either count. I’d rather the rich clubs showed some sense and put deluded players like this back in their place. He’s worth about half what Barca are paying him, he’s done nothing in years. Pogba isn’t worth more than he’s currently getting. Both are injury prone and have gone backwards and they should be paid accordingly. Newcastle will surely come along and pay what they want though.

Dembele would be a silly signing. He's similar to Martial, all the talent in the world but with a bad attitude. I hope to God we move away from buying these types of players; this would be another disaster signing that, fingers crossed, I can't see happening.
The last thing we need is another brainless footballer.
Martial doesn’t have a bad attitude and neither does Dembele. He’s just not very professional.
Even if you think he's a good player which, considering the whole package, is very debatable, its hard to see what we need him for. The squad is bloated and needs trimming already and we've got Sancho, Fernandes, Greenwood, DvdB, Lingard, Mata and possibly Amad and Mejbri all competing for the two positions he would play in this system.
I think thats what he means by a bad attitude.
And would that said player that you amortize play for free?
Why go roundabout way in saying that you would like his wages to be off the books so that salary can be given to somebody else?
you honestly for one minute think that pogba would go to Newcastle? For a relegation scrap and no champions league? Not a chance.
Might be his only option if PSG pull out and he doesn’t lower his wage demands.
Why the hell do we need him ?
he would rather stay here than risk playing in the championship...
once again, it might be his only option if PSG pull out and he doesn’t lower his wage demands. Can’t see Juve or any of the Spanish spending those kinds of figures on an injury prone player with erratic form.
If Barcelona signs a player for €40M and five years of contract €8M gross/year.
That's a cost of €16M year.
Dembele right now is earning that amount or even more.
And also to renew he asks for a higher amount according to what the press says.
Oh this would be up there as a typical post SAF signing. Can see it happening or ,at the very least, our interest being concrete.
Run a fecking mile, as fast as you can!
But this is pure agent bollocks.
But this is pure agent bollocks.
With those chronic muscle injuries chances are we can simply just walk away very slowly.
Form a pure squad building perspective, I can see why we would want him, none of our wide attackers has his combination of trickery and speed. His professionalism is non existent though, which is a big gamble, so is his injury issue, but the latter is more manageable e.g Robben.
He will stink up the place. Hope he goes to Arsenal.
Such an overrated player even when fit.
At best, has had 1 good season at Rennes, and an OK season at Dortmund.

Oh dear christ no.
Yeah.. go on, replace Martial with French Martial. Replace him with himself.
We're fecked if he is what we are after.
Once again, not happening.
Linked every transfer window for the past 5 years. It's not happening, thankfully. The new Gaitan.
Please just be the agent using us to raise interest! Please just be the agent using us to raise interest! Please just be the agent using us to raise interest!
Hopefully this, but you never know with our board.
Absolutely a no go for me, terrible option, and the links seems to be nonsense by agents and Barca, trying desperately to drum up interest.
Thank god there is more chance of us playing well than signing him.
he’s a perma croc — hard pass.
does opening a speculative email from his agent before deleting it count as making contact?
Lets hope so
What is this sentence?! What would you define as a bad attitude from the perspective of a football club?
The last thing we need is another injury prone, unprofessional footballer to add to our existing bunch of exact same specimen.
Offer him a mediocre wage and pay as you play to make up the rest. If hes injured he gets a bit of money but as much as our squad players, if he's fit and playing he gets substantial money
