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.

Have you been reading Rio's tweets
I can't see Marquinhos leaving anytime soon. He's happy, settled, the captain of the club, and wants to win there. PSG also will not let him go.
Fully expecting Ramos to stay now Varane looks to be leaving
Yeah proper worried that these two are seen as behind Lindelof in the pecking order
So will Kimpembe bow out of the first XI as his national team partner joins? Would be a huge coup for PSG, although Madrid fans are dreaming of this meaning Varane+cash for Mbappe.
Such a shame really. Thought he'd just renew, but since he's not, that we're not in the running, as we need a bona fide top level centre back, with pace.

Least we tried and can't ask for any more than that, clearly if the offer wasn't there to go back to France then think we would have been in the driving seat but much like Di Maria I fear they were always his first choice
Should try to get him. Will sort out our defensive problems.
PSG bound I expect if he really is leaving Real.
If he's PSG bound, would make sense why they went for Aurier. Money better spent here.
Aren't they fairly set with Kimpembe and Marquinhos?
He's dispelling my fears tonight
Think they'd bench Kimpembe for him, but yeah you'd think so for a normal side, but it's PSG, plus the fee to buy him won't be that high. But if they want him, he'd surely go back there, being French etc. Plus its the sort of "challenge" his level of talent love.
Marquinhos isn't only their best cb he is also their best dm. They might push him back to midfield again.
We really should be doing everything we can to sign him.
We've been linked with him all summer and to a person we've all said he would be the best option next to Maguire. Just recently though it was mentioned that he's interested in going to PSG.
I think he'd start at PSG alongside Kimpembe and they'd move Marquinhos to CDM or go to a back 3
If he’s really looking for a new challenge, The Premier League should be whetting his whistle a lot more than Ligue Un with PSG.
Feel like "challenge" means something different to these elite footballers though.
He's also 28 and French. He'll win the league for PSG and he'll make a big paycheck just like he was going to make at United. He's more assured of winning trophies in Paris than he is in Manchester due to the league.
What’s a League title at PSG worth?
He's exactly what we need based on this performance
Whats a UCL at PSG worth if you’re French?
To Varane? €15m a year.
Surely no one signs for PSG with any great interest in winning the French league. It's all about money, being in Paris and finally getting that CL title.
He has been brilliant, almost the complete defender in a lot of ways.
I'd rather he'd been crap to be fair, just incase he ends up at bloody Chelsea, soften the blow.
Meh I wouldn't worry mate. Even if he goes and scores 2 own goals now he is obviously world class.
PSG's future success really depends on Mbappe and I don't think he'll be staying for much longer, if they lose him it's a one man show (Neymar)
They will do everything in their power ($$$$$$$) to keep him, doubt he moves soon. Maybe when he's 25 or similar age.
They will just throw money at him and his family to stay imo.
PSG already have 2 exceptional CBs - They don’t make sense to me. He’s been a rolls Royce tonight. Brilliant defender.
He’s in a similar position to both his French teammates Pogba & Varane in terms of holding all the cards in his court as his contract expires next summer.
Plus he’s slightly hinted about leaving PSG before.
Yeah I think he prefers a move a away from PSG, I just think that at the end of the day PSG will make it impossible to say no through $$
Been fecking immense today
Brilliant player.
The caf's opinion swings very quickly. 
I'm not sure I agree, because I think PSG's main problem is they are a two-men show, so top heavy. If you free up Mbappe's wages, and build a stronger surrounding cast around Neymar or even one that can succeed when he inevitably gets injured, PSG can become a stronger team.
Did Germany even get a shot on target?
Sign him up.
I think few people actually seem to form an opinion for themselves these days, which is the issue here. People can’t be bothered to assess and process on their own, so many prefer a pre-packaged opinion that they can just adopt. If it sounds like it makes sense, they’ll just go with it.The caf's opinion swings very quickly.
Absolutely need him at United. was sensational today
