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?

Heard he prefers The Smiths. As long as it isn't Oasis were good.
Thanks. It's ok. No need to apologise. I should have understood joke.I feel bad now.
I was only joking.
Sorry
What a cnut. Do not want.
And won a European trophy and he won us the League Cup, scored what 25+ goals, got us back in the UCL, yeah he had a terrible season did Zlatan!
Played wide right as a winger in a team who played an ultra defensive rigid system. Cantona from memory came into a side not scoring goals, struggling for form, dropping down the table, if SAF had this kind of attitude we never would have looked at Eric with his past.
I don't recall Sheringham having a stellar season the season before he arrived. Hughes as have mentioned had a dreadful season before he returned.
We had that kind of mindset jesus we would never sign anyone! Not every signing works, course it doesn't, but you move on, you do what you can to make sure they fit.
We need a back up striker and a RW who preferably is left footed and can cut inside. Madness that Dybala is all of those things, and that he might actually fit in to what Ole wants and how he wants to play.
I know this is very rare for the fans on this forum, but getting behind the manager and giving him the benefit of the doubt that he and his staff, might be a little bit more clued up on it than us lot hey
Who would we even buy?
He's no Firmino but I've seen this guy run his socks off. As part of a unit, I don't see why he can't.
I heard it was the happy mondays . Medical monday
I agree.
Glucose checks and all that.
I never thought I'd see Martial press like crazy or even go into sliding tackles, yet here we are.
Don't see why Dybala would not be ready to work for the team.Who would forumites prefer we sign, Dybala or Maguire?
We need both equally badly, to be honest.
Well he had a long flight, 3 flights apparently to get to Turin, so he can always do the Juve medical tests tomorrow
Dybala, because it means Lukaku leaves as well, plus Darmian might be involved in the deal too. Three birds with one stone.
Being rejected so he can enter the monastic life will really sting, I admit. It'd be like a pretty girl rejecting you for a fat lesbian. I'd almost rather he join Conte at Inter.
Maguire. We are absilutely desperate for a CB. We need a midfielder before Dybala too.
It's a shame he's got no pre-season under his belt so he won't be fit until 3-4 weeks into the season. Still a great signing for us though as long as we use him correctly.
Well, in pre-season Ole had praised Lingard twice for his impact in pressing.
hold your horses pal, we don't even know if he wants to join yet.
I worry that he's vastly overrated, that his name sounds like 'The Baller' in English makes people overestimate his ability. If he was called 'Debobler' we wouldn't be pursuing this.
Maguire.

Maguire if it was necessary to choose (which it isn't)
A solid back four will gaurenttee us top 4

No guarantees whatsoever and that's me being especially generous.
Dybala. Maguire might be an improvement in defence, but without midfielders that protect him against 1v1s and in a high pressing team, his lack of mobility is a big big issue.
If Mourinho was the coach and we played a "low block defend from crosses" approach, then Maguire would be an excellent acquisition. But we won't play this way.
Instead of going for Maguire, we should use this ££ to buy balancing midfielders that can protect the defenders, balance the team and help the build-up. The same argument can be made in regards to Dybala, but not to that extent. Dybala might improve our attacking play more than Maguire would improve our defence given that we are most likely going to press high and leaving a lot of space behind our defenders. And without midfielders to protect our centrebacks against 1v1.
Spurs, arsenal and Chelsea would all have a weaker back line than us. If we get Maguire in, I'm very confident of achieving top 4, even if the football is dire.
This is brand new information.gif
Are you on drugs!
I would go for Ben Yedder, not much about. As Dembele said he is staying at Lyon this summer.
I love youThanks. It's ok. No need to apologise. I should have understood joke.
This deal/swap deal looks too good to be true and until it actually happens I will be skeptical about it
I'm an optimist! Although I agree with other posters that Maguire is a bigger priority right now.
DYBALA WAOHHH

Any Lingard comparisons to any other player are a bit disingenuous really.
Lingard is a player whose only distinctive element to his game is that he somehow manages an unusually good number of assists and goals for a player whose best work otherwise consists of making runs off the ball.
The players whose numbers get compared to his tend to have a vastly better allround contribution and individual ability. As does Dybala, obviously.

I was just looking at last season. Apologies if I've got the numbers wrong.
@Fridge chutney announce Dybala
Mate I thought you might have overdosed haha yeah last season Dybala had a bit of a fallout with Alegri and was out as a conventional winger, which is not his game.
If he signs and posts the same numbers as Lingard I will cry haha
It crazes me that some people do not want this signing. It's not just the signing of a quality player, we're also getting rid of Lukaku who just isn't at the level that we require to progress forwards. It's addition by subtraction in this case. He can play multiple positions, ST, RW, CAM. Would also add that extra bit of finesse that we need so desperately in the final third. Now it's just down to Dybala to see if he actually wants to join.
Yeah I was just asking what happened last season. The answer I got was that he moved to RW. Hopefully we won't play him there then!
