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.

Obviously!!!
And he is ours
And he is ours
It's the quick release shot. He's the Steph Curry of football.
Foden setting it up for Greenwood for England 
Big words from a veteran of the game
You don’t have to be a veteran of the game to see that his finishing is insane
Ok I'm kinda getting scared of falling into overhyping. He doesn't need that, we don't need that, utd don't need that.
Shut up Phil
Phil clearly angling for a transfer across city. He knows Pep isn't the man to give him the minutes he needs and has his eye on boarding the Ole love train!
Looking forward to seeing if these two lads can live up to the hype and combine well for England.
Greenwood just has that sharp-shooting ability that a lot of people just don't have. He can hit the ball harder than 99% of players without needing any pace already on the pass, he can just generate it himself even from tight situations with the ball almost at a standstill. It's harder to describe to people how truly difficult it is to just be able to put your foot through the ball out of nowhere and he can do it with both feet!
It's the kind of ability you just have or you don't, it can't be taught IMO. I can practice absolutely smashing the ball and trying to get more accurate with it but it would never get anywhere close.

Keep your head down Phil, and in a couple of years' time, you too could be finishing like Mason at United.
Yeah just like Pokemon trainer, you are either born a winner or a loser like Ash Ketchum.
He's the first 'Phil' of any real value in football since Neville.
Big words from a man sitting behind a keyboard having never seen Sergio Aguero in training every day for 2 years.
Philipp Lahm
He finally did it not long ago!He's Phillip... I'm talking good ol' down the pub 'Phil'. Nevs was named Phillip, but he became 'Phil'. Even google calls him that.
Noone was calling Lahm... "Oy Phil!" or "Phil Lahm". Na mate...
Not fair, Ash won recently!
He did?
Good for him.
Only took 20 years+
Come and get me plea to Ole and United
Isnt he a lifelong city fan? It would be hard to imagine him ever playing for United. City fans are probably some of the most bitter towards their rivals.
This is the most excited I've been for a potential future England side.Foden setting it up for Greenwood for England
If only we could give birth to some quality CBs
Greenwood
Saka Foden Sancho
Could be world cup winning level if they keep developing.Saka Foden Sancho
We seem stacked at AM and out wide but don't have much in DM or CB.
Yep!He did?
Good for him.
Only took 20 years+
Or a player that has played with and again him for most of his life.
Reminds me a bit of Argentina a few years ago. Crazy good options in attack but everything behind them is too mediocre to do well.
Foden's comments will go down well at the moon!
Considering he has played and trained with Aguero, it really is high praise. They seem like good mates, I assume because they have grown up together and been part of the England youth growing up.
Irrespective of the club, quality players will always appreciate each others quality.

shut up Philip u are boring the life out of me on this
Messi- esque in the way he hits it quick.
Nice of Foden to say that....now come and join us. City fan or no City fan, I'd have him
"Better than Aguero"
I have this imagination where Aguero stops Foden in the tunnel after a game and starts slapping him.

Can Greenwood be as good as brazilian Ronaldo was at 19-20 years old ?
Agree with Foden, right or left doesn't matter.
I think finishing alone, Iheanacho is also better than Aguero.
What you on about? He's only 12 still, not even been a year yet........He did?
Good for him.
Only took 20 years+
I think R9 is the best teenage striker in history tbh. But why not, he's even got that kind of ability IMO and he's playing in a really attacking and confident team.
Dennis Law/Ruud Van Nistelrooy/Cristiano Ronaldo numbers will be a walk in the park for him if he stays fit and works hard.
Excellent
