In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I think a huge part of that is us defending / pressing as a team. There are times he does it but doesnt have the help which is annoying. Ive seen that before where players come in, are enthusiastic, but then the worry is when he sees others not doing it, he drops of doing it where it matters, and a few annoying things creep in, like he stops making the runs of the ball, etc.
Has he been on the winning side when he scores ?
Our Shaky season has lasted a decade. At what point does what we are currently seeing just be the norm?
Utd have done better in the last decade than the vast majority of football clubs. We should have done better given our resources - but the crying on here for the odd top 6 season is boring. We remain a top destination and a club people want to play for.
He looks someone we should be planning around, he's a great age and looks like with service he could hit big numbers.
To that effect I'm interested to see how Amad would work with him.
Before the game, noticed he was one of the only players with a big smile on his face. His attitude seems levels above clowns in this squad a decade older than him and deserves so much better than what he's had to deal with here.
Very good prospect.
Just finding life a bit trickier in the league which is because the team is also finding attacking harder in the league. No major coincidence there, if we see his runs and make the opportunities he'll score goals. If we don't we'll be left with scraps to analyse around his general play which of course needs refinement. Quite confident about him, he's a physical beast and he can clearly score.

Yeah, it's a right shame football matches have to last for 90 minutes.20 minute FC
I saw that too. It was obviously because he'd caught the eye of someone he knew from his former club. Hell of a leap to decide that this shows a better attitude than his team mates.
Hard not to love him. He and Garnacho (who I though played way beyond his years last night) are the future.
He's playing for the club he supports, we should be signing players for reasons like this, and not because they want a huge pay packet.
I'm not saying that was solely the reason, obviously his performance and work rate that followed showed that. Was just pointing it out.
OK, fair enough. He does seem to have a great attitude. His post match interview was impressive too.
He’d be on 10+ goals already if he’d went to a side like Spurs, Arsenal etc who create chances.
20 goal striker already at 20, potential to be 35+ goal striker in a few years.
Totally agree - sign players who want to come here - if they start asking for more money to come to UTD. Hearts are not in it - sack them off.
Real prospect. Easy goals, but he was in the right place at the right time, which is what it is all about.
I enjoyed watching him burst forward when Garnacho was practically begging for the ball. It was like he was thinking "Nah, feck off mate. You and Bruno give me bugger all so this one is mine."
But then we lost again and now I'm just grumpy.

The Bioware of football clubs.
I have high hopes for Rasmus... looks like a proper striker for United. Don't know who he reminds me of...maybe Andy Cole.
Still waiting to win his first game he scores in… takes away how much he contributed
I thought Ruud.
How can he reach 20 if he can't net in the league?
20 might be a stretch and seems unlikely but he already has 5 in the champions league and we don't know if we're going to play in the Europa League. Obviously needs to start scoring more goals in the league though.
I'm going to go for 15 goals as a guess.
Everyone wants Kane (he is great) but I am very glad we signed Hojlund this season.
I think it would be a better combo than with Antony who keeps the ball way too long and as a result slows down the progression forward.
Amad will play triangles, 3rd man runs. But don't think he crosses or squares the ball to a typical #9 that much.
He just needs service, he runs so much into position, but does not get the ball in run, i thought he had a hatrick in him, the save, and he outran that FCK defense but came in to wide to do something, seems to always get the ball goal bound, but his success all depends on service, and he has started to "go back" to just touch the ball, because when he does the striker thing, he is just left out of the game..
to be a striker on UTD today you have to be either a Ronaldo or a Zlatan, and have a attitude, that THIS IS my ball or i will kill you.. Ronaldo has so much service, because of the fanboyism from Bruno, when he failed the last season. but did not convert it.. if Bruno had the same love for Rasmus games will be won.

Man Utd 1:0 Luton Town
Looks like it's Rashford leading the line - oh joy
Have to say I'm very worried that he didn't score today. You would be expecting the striker of our club to be using a game such as today's to boost their numbers.
Done his hammy?
Really should have had a goal and an assist today - team looks so low on confidence and bereft of ideas
Hammy?
He has to score that chance in the first half, no excuses there.
We also need more from him in the build up, he completed 4 passes in that match, that is both on his teammates for not finding him regularly but also on him.

Two absolute sitters. No excuses for missing those.
As brutal as he is in the PL, he'll be missed when we have Mr. Laissez Faire up there, if Hojlund is actually injured badly.

He can be a very good striker if he sorts out his first touch and heading.
IDK if I had the same feed as everyone else but the announcer just went straight to a hamstring tear. It could easily just be a cramp or something. You typically don't see people continuing to play and walking off without a limp when they've torn a hammy.
He's just a more graceful Weghorst.
Unlucky not to score of Rashford's cross early on. Ball looped off the defender and he did well to throw a hip at it. You can argue that had he put his knee through it, the ball would've risen over the keeper. However, he had to make a split second decision and he didn't have enough room to swing his foot at it. I loved his hold up play before he slid Garnacho through on goal. We could get a lot out of that if our widemen remember how to shoot. Not saying he can become a full fat Diego Costa type. However, the semi-skimmed version would still do bits for us.
