In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

I particularly enjoy watching him play on the left wing when we are chasing games strangely. It happened a lot in 2016/17 too when we needed goals at the end. His quick switches of play with both feet and accurate crossing can be a real weapon i think from the wing plus he knows how to dribble and make surging runs from deep already. He does a much better job than our so called regular 'wingers'.
Without him, our attack is nothing.
Very good performance today.
Unfortunate that his passing performance of today couldn’t get us over the line. Regardless, he seems to be in good form and productive. Hope he can remain fit.
A level above every other outfielder, I can see why he’d consider Barca.
One of his best ever United performances and yet his stupidity still costs the team a goal. “Frustrating” doesn’t do him justice.
Played quite well but the performance will be stung by that silly losing of the ball which led to the goal.
He didn't lost the ball in front of the goal...the narrative is quite funny...
He should leave. Even when he's by far the best player, he's the scapegoat
Honestly he's too good to waste his best years with such an average squad.

Easily our best player. Woodie will have to fill the pockets of that pig Raiola again, but we simply cannot let him leave. He gives us a base to build from.
Give this absolute nonsense up, once and for all.
His best and worst in the same game again. So fecking infuriating. Hard to compliment him when he's the one who gave away the ball for wolve's goal. Need to be more declined.
Dunno what his general performance was like today but that assist was beautiful.
One man team. Levels above anyone else.
Did alright going forward but his infuriating habit of holding on to the ball too long in midfield killed us. Just release the fecking ball already you idiot!
An acceptable performance. He has his weaknesses Pogba but we have 15 other problems/players to sort out before him.
I was right after all...
He needs to go... But, it's for his benefit.
The guy kept trying to make something happen but, the lack of movement in the final third was embarrassing.

Everytime I watch him, I get more angry at Sanchez. Pogba is head and shoulders above the rest of the team, and everything, almost literally, good about us goes through him. Sanchez is supposed to go halves with him on the burden as our other massive money supposed world class player.
Two can be enough, one won’t win you anything. Chelsea could win the league this year due to some good players and Hazard and Kante, who are both at the very top level.
Pogba and Sanchez at the top of their game is enough with good players just below like Lukaku and Fred. This is of course, excluding the goalkeeper.
The fear then becomes that we will lose the one we have as he wants better around him.

sometimes I feel bad for him.
Of course if I were him I would look for a move to a club like Barca or Real? Why wouldn't he? He is not going to win the PL or the CL with United and Jose. He has every chance of winning the La Liga and the CL with either Barca or Real. Or even back with Juve with Serie A and the CL.
Best passer in the premier league. Best passer at the world cup. He also dribbles through players all the time. Yes he holds on the ball too long because nobody makes runs and nobody can take the brunt of creativity.
If I was him I would not be happy with this shit. He's good enough for Barca, real and Bayern easily.

Ignoring his flaws (which his manager and teammates should cover), he brought so much to the table.
Not the full 90+ mins, but I like the Pogba that play this way. A shade of how Scholes used to boss the centre of the park. Played like an active orchestra conductor, Paul actively receive the ball from the back and connecting it efficiently to up front, spread the ball around left, right, centre front, with crisp passes, quick one touch passes, kept on moving the ball around, and even if he lost the ball - insist on conducting our play. Focal point of our build-up and play up-front. Not a problem being surrounded by 1+ markers either, he'll glide pass them or make quick sharp turn and pass. More please.
Beautiful performance.

Yeh. If I were a footballer as good as Pogba, I'd feck off to better team after two years of serving this shit. I actually respect him more than De Gea who just content playing for the money. Best player always wants to play to the highest level, and actually winning trophies.
He's wasting his potential best years at the club if he continues to impress as he has done recently and I think he knows it.
Outstanding. Yep lost the ball but that shite happens all over the pitch in 90mins, it's on like he's was on the penalty spot doing stepovers....
Continue this way, he'll be gone next Summer as it's becoming harder to find this quality in football...

Something that doesn't get mentioned enough is how good he is with his weaker foot. Almost two-footed.
Did we watch the same game?
This post from a few days ago and it's very accurate.
Yeah he gave the bell away but that’s where his team mates come in. There was a enough time between him giving the ball away and the goal for other players to react and prevent but they’re too useless to do that. He was pretty much at the heart of anything good we did, again maybe if his team mates weren’t so useless at playing football wed have been a few goals up before Wolves’ equaliser.
He’s the best passer in the world.
We need to play Pereira along side him so all the burden isn't on him to create.
That would help, although the main problem is what they are creating for at the moment. The line in front of them is a mess.
I wouldn't mind seeing this with Matic or Fellaini alongside them. I think that's what Fred was bought for really, but I'd like to see Pereira given more chances/offer competition when Fred settles.
It's embarrassing the lack of options when he is looking up for someone to pass to. There was a moment where he had enough and decided to run forward and dribble to play a one two with Lukaku and the ball just bounced off him. Everyone is just static. I know if I was on the pitch and Pogba has the ball I would be making a run every time because he has the quality to find the pass everytime.
Well will you be saying the same if Sanchez gives the ball away? I love Pogba and he's our most important player but he had no reason to give the ball away so cheaply. He could've played a pass in any direction and moved on. Shaw did try to block the cross but the winger just did enough to put in the path of Moutiniho. Maybe if Pogba does his job of retaining the ball better other players dont need to cover his backside.
He was fantastic yesterday but all of that is cancelled out because he lost us 2 points trying unnecessary trick in the wrong area. We need more vocal players on the team to absolutely lay into him behind the scenes for that because he lost us the game.
It's true the lack of movement is a real problem right now
That's incredibly harsh and just not true. He made a mistake, of course, but Pogba did not lose us 2 points yesterday. There was still quite a bit of play between him losing the ball and them scoring. Luke Shaw done a poor job on the guy who crossed the ball; he just gave up thinking he already won the contest. Then the guy who scored was completely unmarked and it was a superb finish. Pogba was our best player, and that mistake does not take away from that.
We drew because we're completely incompetent in attack. Pogba pisses me off when he holds onto the ball too long, and he deserves criticism for the mistake, but he did not lose us points yesterday
Especially because if we're going to use the logic that he was at fault for the goal, then apply that logic for the goal we scored. Following that, it would be 0-0 and we're back to losing 2 points.
