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.

They may have just trimmed it with an arthroscopy. A piece of piss op. I had mine in the morning then walked 1/4 mile in the evening to a restaurant.
These days, meniscus injuries are not such a big deal.
The rehab time is usually more to do with muscle wastage.
We'll see. Mirror keep changing their mind on this.
So you're saying there's a chance jones may need to retire early, in 2022?
Oh noes.
Oh noes.
Found this post in one of the papers.
Operative phrase. Depends on how severe it was.We don't really know TBF. That medical he had last week would have revealed a lot more than we can speculate on.
As for shortening his career, it's being a bit alarmist and doom and gloom isn't it. He could play for the next 10 years unhindered by it but then feel the effects after 30...so? Sure he'd take it, what sportsman wouldn't
lol
You know what I mean. He might have continual problems. When they reconstruct a new ACL it performs pretty well funcitonally the same as a normal acl. When they remove the meniscus your knee though "healed" will not perform functionally the same - its missing some cartilage.
Thats why Etoo decided on taking a longer time out and trying that technique to repair the cartilage.
Oh no. He'll be finished in a few years. What a career he could have had.
Nah, you were WUMing and it seems you are back on your game.
You surround your WUMing with a "serious poster" alter ego, but to be honest you come across as a numpty.
So when will this be sorted out?
As to the op - I assume United team had a look at his notes.
As to the medical - we did one on Hargo!!!
I would agree any sportsman would look at his career and deal with the effects afterwards.
ACL recons are fine Ive had 2 - just depends where you get the harvest from and what other knee damage there has been.Oh no. He'll be finished in a few years. What a career he could have had.
I've had some cartilage removed from my right knee. Almost certainly the same injury as it's the common one with all footballers. I have it in both knees but it was worse in my right and I couldn't play without the operation.
I think if he does the right gym work I don't think it will shorten his career - more likely to give him problems later in life. He might occasionally enflame it if he's not careful and need to take a few weeks off but I doubt it's a big problem. Definitely legit to have some concerns though.

All sportspeople involved in the use of the motor limbs live with the risk of injury and long term problems but that's balancedout bythe chance to be involved in something they love. I've heard motor sports/skiers/gymnasts all say that the enjoyment and possible glory outweigh the risk of long term pain or serious injury...none would stop it.
On footballers specifically, all the ones from the era I grew up in have some long term problems with arthiritis and limp around.Sad to see but they have their memories of playing for Utd and I doubt that they would change a thing
Is this done yet??
The documents have gone to the pl for signing off. We're waiting on that to announce the deal.
Yes
Bored now, I want us to confirm one of these deals.
Yup, I've been reading, both in relation to Young and Jones, of deals to be completed "in 48 hours" for a week now.
Patience Solius
It will happen just will be a little later to complete than the average transfer deal.
The owners of Blackburn don't come across as the brightest
I don't understand Glaston.
Yes it is a gamble but so what? Its a good gamble to take.
We signed Berbatov,Veron for 30 mil. It didn't turn out exactly as we wanted.

Good. That will piss off the dippers and the ABU hacks who were praying fervently that the deal would fall through.
None of them have been officially announced yet, but I do believe we'll be seeing Jones, Young and De Gea in the United shirt for the new season
SAF rarely ever gets it wrong with defenders.
Last year the consensus on here was far more sceptical towards Smalling than it seems to be towards Jones. Three possible explanations. 1 - After the success of Smalling people are more optimistic about an unproven youngster carrying a big transfer fee. 2 - We won the league! The futures bright etc, whereas last summer Chelsea were considered better even by many of our own fans. 3 - Jones has been more impressive at Blackburn than Smalling was at Fulham.

feck! No pre-season for Jones then.
Throw in a quality centre midfield player and thats a brilliant summers work, especially for a club thats skintNone of them have been officially announced yet, but I do believe we'll be seeing Jones, Young and De Gea in the United shirt for the new season
Fixed!Throw in 2 quality central-midfield players, Sanchez, Benzema and thats a brilliant summers work, especially for a club thats skint
WTF is going on? This is really annoying. For god's sake someone please explain 
Good observation, although those three things aren't mutually exclusive; in fact, I'd say they are all true so contributing factors.
He'll get a month's holiday after the under 21s. So will Cleverley, Welbeck and Smalling.
Ah, missed that. Well it makes sense, I'd imagine Hernandez will as well after Mexico's summer.
Yeah, presumably they'll join the squad in America.
Have they not heard of courier post? Surely we're not that skint we can only afford second class
We had to pay £1.49 more than budgeted for Jones, so we can't afford recorded delivery.
FFS Nick, you stingy man, shell out for Express delivery.
Watched the u-21 game last night, and have to say Smalling was immense!! If Jones is worth 20m, then Smalling is easily 30-35m! Ofcourse, Smalling is not worth 30m, nor is Jones worth 20m, but just highlighting the difference between the 2, just based on last night's performance.
Now for the disclaimer. When Utd signed Smalling last season, the first few games after the transfer was announced, he looked anything but a player for whom ManUtd had just paid 10-12m. So, I am not going to say Jones is not worth 20m. By all accounts from people that have seen him a lot more than me, he has bags of potential.
I did see the defensive side of his game, very much a Terry-clone. But he always talks about how comfortable he is bringing the ball out of defence. I did not see anything of the sort. He just panicked and passed back to the keeper. The few times I saw him come out of defence (especially against Norway in the friendly), he seemed to just kick the ball past the player and run. Smalling, on the other hand, has lots of composure on the ball, evident last night against Spain.
I guess, if we look at how far Smalling has improved in just a season at united, I suppose Jones has every chance of developing his potential and becoming the future England captain, that everyone seems to think he can become.
Hey, if so many teams were chasing him, he can't be half-bad, huh?

It's the scousers fault for that increased bid, fecking Kenny, he's a postal problem causing genius.
Jones is worth £16.5m.
Yeah agree. When it comes down to a choice of not playing again half way through your career (or in Jones' case near the beginning) or walking with a stick later on, I know which I'd choose. It was an easy enough choice even for me and I'm hardly a pro footballer.
