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?

Classic RL, never change.
Look, even I feel Pogba is generally overrated but come on! RLC has proved nothing. Pogba has shown far more of his talents. I doubt RLC has done more in the youth teams than Pogba in seniors
Not really the case but oh well. If someone had said Mbappe has more ability than Rashford this time last year the outrage in this thread would be in that thread. Did it make it true?
He's barely had any game time. When Pogba was struggling for game time here he also wasnt putting up an serious stats.
Cheek was a monster in the youths and currently since he's started a couple of games, id say he looks Palace's best player by a fair distance. The second half vs Huddersfield was reminicent of Pogba's match vs Southampton last season sadly for him it was in a losing effort, He's already showing what he's about and people will catch on as time goes by. Out of interest if i had said Loftus-Cheek has more ability than Henderson would you guys find the comment equally as ridiculous?
There's not much difference between Henderson and Pogba either.
There isn't much difference between Cleverley and Xavi also.
Glad we all seem to be on the same page.
No real difference between Messi and Bellamy tbf.
This and the Martial thread are funny reading, because half the posters are on my ignore list for chatting utter shite.
I didn't think it could get any worse than the claims that Lingard is at the same level as AlliEven the most deluded Chelsea fan will feel ashamed of himself if he said such a thing.
Crazy to suggest that going to Juve was not good for his development - he went from a player struggling to break into the team to the world's most expensive player!
To be fair, he's very consistent with this. Been on Loftus-Cheek's nuts for about 2 or 3 years now.
Revisit this thread at the end of the season.
Even the most deluded Chelsea fan will feel ashamed of himself if he said such a thing.
For what ? You're predicting that by the end of the season we'll say you're right the LC isn't far from Pogba ? Save your efforts from now then.
Why do you want people to laugh at you twice?
I suppose you're gutted we got rid of Rooney too?
Of course i was, it was disgraceful how we treated a superstar, look at him now sparkling for Everton doing things no footballer at the club can do!
Why would i be ffs? he's done his bit for the club and he's now over the hill, it was fair that he left. You'd have to put in a lot of effort to discover a post of mine where i'd said we should keep him.
I'm just saying if your judgement over Pogba is consistent with other players you'd probably wanna bring Anderson back.
If I'm reading you correctly then you are saying a kante-pogba midfield two is not the best partnership and so I can extrapolate and state that were kante a united player then he would be dropped for matic and thus a squad player with limited abilities that should be upgraded ASAP... hmm, interesting
Such a claim would be pretty close if it was the Spurs fan saying that. The caf is #1 for self-hating
Yes. I am saying they can't get the best out of each other in 2 midfielder partnership. Still small sample of games, but I haven't seen they both playing great together. Either one is very good and another look underwhelming. If there is Matic to form 3 men midfield, then it's another story. It may work. In midfield 2, I even think Herrera is better than Kante to play with Pogba.
Let say we already got Kante & Matic like Chelsea did last season, then I don't think Mourinho would pursuit Pogba (and Micky). Kante is very good so no need to relegate him to the bench. Just change the dynamic of the midfield to add more offensive dedicated no 10. I am talking about someone like Neymar, who doesn't need to track back as much.
Ehh Pogba is without a doubt the most charismatic player since Ronaldo. Being a football star isn't just about the ability they possess, but the confidence on the field. I haven't seen Lcheek that much, but he certainly doesn't have as much flair as Pogba? No
Err, I know we aren't supposed to explain our jokes/two faced comments but I'll bite
I was taking a sly dig at those who now call Herrera a squad player cuz his partnership with Pogba is not as good as Matic's thus being relegated to the bench. Some even say Kante will be a better fit for Pogba but it isn't working out so good in the NT thus far..
I wouldn't want to derail the thread so I'll stop there but all this catering for Pogba's weaknesses with finding players that suit him had better pay off cuz it's game changers like messi, ronaldo, neymar that deserve all that IMO
He has started down the right part with his performances for united this season but needs further work on his decision making..
I know its early but when is his contract up for renewal?
He is the best player in the league.
Until 2021 with an option of one further year.
nice, cheers
Just behind Loftus Cheek for me.
Got to agree with this.
Best player in the league at this stage is seriously reaching. Let's see at the end of the season. He's a great player and I'm really glad he's ours but nobody is the best player in the league after a few games. If he can show his best form in the bigger games over a season then surely he has to be up there.
The top end quality in the league just isn't what it used to be. Pogba should reach the title of the best player in the league, if he continues progressing.
So in one page Pogba is the best player in the league and not far behind from Loftus Cheek. In other related news, Dele Alli and Lingard are the same level. Okay.
Gael Kakuta says 'hello' to RLC.
His shooting will give us another dimension in attack, something we have been lacking for years, even in Fergie's last few years.
I was watching some videos on Zidane and just wanted to pose the question - is Pogba the new Zidane? They have extremely similar playing styles; silky touches, dribbling in tight spaces, creativity, pin point passing from midfield. This wasn't the first time I've thought this of Pogba as there have been a couple of times this season where his performances drew comparisons to Zidane in my mind.
No, Pogba is a very unique player, he's the new Paul Pogba. Zidane never had Pogbas athleticism.
I think if your to compare Pogba to someone's it's peak Yaya Toure, great touch and control, ability to just skip past players and score from distance and very strong and powerful. Both much better with a designated holding midfielder next to them.
Hopefully he develops Yayas goal scoring, as he was like Lampard in that aspect.
More like Zidane than Scholes, Gerrard or Yaya, for sure.
