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.
Linked with Liverpool.
He’s the ‘right profile’ you want in a winger — he’s very nippy, and he works extremely hard in that Bielsa set up.
Not just a winger who wants G/As, he has a bit of balance to him the other way.

If I was coming as Newcastle manager, this guy would be first on my list. Absolute class.
Could see him do well at Anfield too.

I want an enormous amount of money for him. I can't see us holding onto the guy given the season we're having but we've got to make whoever gets him pay through the nose.
He looks like such a complete winger. Offers a lot in terms of goals/assists plus in the build up and on the defensive side. He provides width, which we so desperately need right now.
Despite signing Sancho, United still lack any presence on the right side of the pitch. Sancho and Greenwood will not offer width, so we're often left with AWB having to take a lot of responsibility for any attacking threat on the right side. Obviously, this is not AWB strong suit and it is hurting him as a player and United as a team. That's why signing a player like Raphinha would definitely help balance the team out and bring out the best of AWB and the other players in our team.
According to transfermarkt, his value is £28.8m (https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raphinha/profil/spieler/411295). So I think realistically a bid in the area £30-50m is a fair reflection of his value. Considering Raphinha is Premier League proven and given what he would bring to the team, I think he would be a great acquisition at that price range.

They should be looking for triple what they paid for James
Give Leeds 40m and tell them if they don’t take it that was our final offer for him. Stop messing about.
Leicester have been crying out for a left-footed RW since Mahrez left as well, could see him being their big purchase and Maddison going to Newcastle instead.
I doubt he’d head to Leicester. Arsenal just about. They pay top 4 wages.. If it wasn’t for salah he’d already be at Liverpool. He can get 10 goals and 10 assists for a middling team. He could be filthy in a dominant team. Not to be sniffed at but we’ve loads of attackers…
Gotta love the 30mil take it or leave it offer suggestions. They aren't mugs you know.
Hell cost 60m minimum
Phillips is the special player for Leeds, but Raphinha is outstanding as well.

Leeds are going down if that's the case
Will he stand a chance to play for Bayern in the big games? They have so many good attackers!
Decent but overrated. Surprised if Bayern pay that much.
Sounds fair I think, but not sure they need him. I guess he got talent and improves squad depth.
He'll be brilliant for them. Not that surprising given Bayern are extremely well run and just know what they're doing.
At least he didn't go to Liverpool.
Don’t think he’s overrated. He’s ready to make a Jota like step-up.
Heard Liverpool wanted him too to fill Salah void when he leaves for AFCON.
he’s absolutely class. The Brazil rumours are often not true but he’s definitely good enough for a big club.
Reminds me of all the doubts about Mahrez. People said he couldn’t step up and it was just Leicester suited him. heh.

EUR 50 Mio. seems a bargain.
Better off at Bayern than Liverpool from our point of view.
Overrated
Can’t believe we only sold him for 20M
Find it strange that Rennes then sold him for practically the same amount a year later despite having a good season
What buy a player for two games?
I wouldn't. They might get every penny back for selling Coman (presumably to PSG in the summer).
How is he overrated for 50m? Only 10m more than VdB, and 20m more than James.
You'd be lucky to even get Adama Traore for that price.
I think that's a sweet deal.

You sold a unproven player to a french team for 20m. He spent his time developing and proving his quality in two different set ups and is finally leaving for 50m after 3 years. You did fairly good business.
I wouldn’t say Coman is worse than Raphina though. And I don’t think many will risk £50 mill on Coman with his previous injury record.
I don’t think that strengthens Bayern if that’s the plan.
He could have course kick on and improve a lot there but we’ll see.
Are they selling to fund purchases? If not, they’re taking themselves one step closer to relegation.
Selling Rapinha for 50M after spending 30M on Daniel James doesn't seems the smartest thing to do.
He’s quality and would do well at any side in the league.
They're very different stylistically. Coman is the better creator and Raphinha the better goalscorer. So might depend on who replaces Lewandowski (target man good for Coman, otherwise good for Raphinha).
Apparently they might just keep Coman and have all 4 wingers. They don't have an obvious backup 9 (though might replace Lewandowksi with 2 of them you'd figure, since normal players who aren't him miss more than 1 or 2 league games a season) so Gnabry could get minutes there too.
I think there's a chance Raphinha might be a proper feck off star. He's electric and doing well for Brazil too.
