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.

Roy Keane ended the career of every one of our transfer target’s fathers. Did you not know that?
Having had Lindegaard and Lingard in the squad at the same time, really messed it up for some. I have seen those two names mixed up in any combination, I think.I still see Lingaard too
It makes perfect sense but if Real can sting us for 50mil this season and get Pogba for free next season then that would be the obvious way to go.....who are the mugs in this deal??
I thought Lingard had a couple of good games in goal but I could not stand those stupid dances Lindegaard used to do after he scored.
If Pogba does eventually leave on a "free" you can bet tae feck that which ever club signs him will be paying 10's of millions to him and is fat, parasitic shitebag of an agent just to sign for them.
If Donnarumma's getting 12 million Euros per year as a keeper, Pogba will easily get more than that as a free agent.
Hopefully that it's time for a £50m move to Arsenal.
Time for some video lads?
You do realise that Varane wants 12mil a year don’t you?
Im talking about signing on fee's that both Pogba and Riola will demand should they run his current United contract down.
Do you blame him?Begs belief that fans still can’t spell some players’ names correct, even after they’ve been here for 5 years

Castles also states that Madrid tried to include Varane in a potential deal for Mbappe, but Varane doesn't want to go back to the French league.
He's Really quick and some of the tackles on that video are superb, He's comfortable on 1v1's, He's the best foil for Maguire no one would compliment him better like Varane would.
Us for signing Pogba again?
Feck off Chelsea. You have Ben Chilwell, be grateful.
Do you really think that every club will bow to his demands like we did??
If they do then they deserve what they get.
Probably rightUs for signing Pogba again?
This feels somewhat like the Ramos saga a few years back. Seems like he’s using us to get a better contract.
Keane ended Ramos' father career, and that's why he didn't sign for us
So he's "lost a level" or "entering his peak"? How can one player be both things at a time?
Put a however between those two sentences.
Even the accountants? feck me he was everywhere wasn't he
You can put as many howevers as you like. It still makes no sense.
Well I expect at most 50m pound so the price is about right, although if we could get him for 50m Euro would be perfect. But he is one of the top and most proven/experienced CB in the world entering his peak years, had won multiple CL and a WC before, so I think it's well worth it.
I heard Roy Keane kicked the fax machine that failed to submit the DDG offer
If Madrid really want just 43m then I expect this to be done very soon without any hassle.
€30M + Phil Jones should do the trick.
Sounds great. On paper, Varane is absolutely perfect to play alongside Maguire. After that it's about the players mentality and ability to adapt to a different league. And of course the fact that we have no proper DM to give cover.
Personally, I don't really care about 10 million either. It's more important that we get the right player in and make sure he elevates our team on the pitch. That's the test, not a little bit of variance in fee.
The vibes regarding the players mindset also sound positive. Seems to want to play in the PL which would mean us getting a highly motivated player.
This feels like the Ramos situation. He might be using us to get a new father after Roy Keane ended his original father’s career.
50 million is a hefty fee but not that bad for a player as well established as he is. And 28 isn't that far from the age where a player who is reliant on pace could drop drastically in level, but on the other hand, given his accomplishments and pedigree, Varane, if he manages himself and adapts well, he could have a good 4-5 years more at the highest level.
Could be. But I doubt Varane has the same attachment to Madrid as Ramos did. He's far more likely to genuinely want a change in scenery.
Can he do it on a cold, rainy night at Turf Moor?
And then there are some of us who spell schweinsteiger, schniderlin and Mkhitaryan from memory. All of these guys were only at United for 2 seasons.Begs belief that fans still can’t spell some players’ names correct, even after they’ve been here for 5 years
That might be his happy place.
Sacred Timeline has been breached and Keane variants are everywhere now
Or as Castles would put it, he would solve the Harry Maguire problem.
