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?
He's a man hole up front. Everybody avoids him.
I feel like he’d like Pellistri on the right for a few games
You can see he’s got potential but not sure he’s ready for this level yet. Maybe he could do with a loan to somewhere like Middlesbrough in January.
Service excuse should be over by now. He should be more involved in game but he is not. He just can't position himself in right place. He can be talented as it goes but zero goals and zero assusts in 8 PL games is appalling stat
We're not sending a 60m striker or whatever he was out on loan to a championship side.
He's been a bright spot this season but I thought today he was poor.
Haaland plays for city you think he’d look “technically efficient” if he played for us? Repeating what other fans said is irrelevant I’ve watched his every game here and his issue is clearly nothing to do with technical ability. He holds up the ball well and runs with the ball well. Show me some instances of this poor technical ability?
I fecking knew this place would turn on him as soon as possible. Such a toxic board full of sheep.
What has he shown in the league? He's too weak, he misses what little chances he geg's, and his hold up play is nowhere near as good as his fanboys say it is. He did nothing today.
His attributes could be used in midfield, he could try staying deeper and using the selfish wide players more. If the team can't create for him, then maybe he can create for the team?
Not getting on his back, just giving an observation.

He's had some good games, some bad games. 20yo in being inconsistent shocker.
Great physicality, good hold up play, good eye for goal (such as the arsenal one). He’s getting absolutely zero chances. Use your head ffs.
There were worrying signs today that the malaise around the club has gotten to Hojlund. He's still chasing but not pressing like he was a month ago. His hold up play lacks the same conviction that we saw in places like Munich. You can see there's a lack of belief in his play, he's making runs but with less belief the ball will actually get to him. Alarmingly, he was flat footed when the ball broke more than once today. That wasn't the case a few weeks ago and it shows he's no longer prepared to spring into action, he's lost the belief that the ball will come to him. We badly need to start making more chances for him and show the kid it's worth his time to run the channels and make himself available.
Had a bad game. Struggled with the physicality of the PL particularly today. There is hope, room for improvement.
We create no proper chances for him, he isn't going to be able to do it on his own
we didn’t beat the 007 allegations
Stop being melodramatic. What's he ACTUALLY done bar two games on the champions league?
Turn on him? He has zero goals and assists in 8 games in league. And it is not that he is involved in build up or something. What should we say? That he is doing great?
Anyone already giving up on the young lad this early in his United career is a joker. But people already predicted that will happen, Caf doing Caf things. God forbid very young player is given time to develop. The modern generation of fans that only want instant success, devoted of any sort of patience.
He's gotten out muscled and outplayed by every league degence. His hold up play is not good enough and he loses the ball. Also 0 goals 7 appearences is an eye for a goal? You're embarrassing yourself
Very heavy footed. Also because he is a big man he can't turn quickly.
I'm not doubting his effort and desire and he has a lot of plus points and we can all see he is feeding off scraps but parts of his game need major work. I was expecting him to be more technically accomplished.

Maybe people could use their heads and eyes and base it on the context of the team? Oh wait logic….nah you don’t get that here. He’s done about as well as you can hope in a team this poor. Do you honestly think Harry Kane would be banging in goals in this side. Absolutely no chance.
Continue to be a reactionary sheep slagging off our own players. You do you fella. I know I’d hate to be in the trenches with you.He's gotten out muscled and outplayed by every league degence.

This is player performance thread, not player potential thread.
Good hold up play? How many times he did it today? 2
Eye for goal? When?
We don't do logic or common sense on here, the only way is the way of constant moaning and misery.
Complete nonsense. Try mot being delusional, yourself. You only defend him because he's a ETH signing.
Really feel for him. He does so much of work but gets so little service. Must be so frustrating.
I'm not repeating what others said, I noticed that well before his move. Look at any of his compilations. He loses the ball a lot because of poor touches, his passing is also quite average. The stats back that up too.
I feel sorry for him, he has come into a team that has a badly malfunctioning attack. He is getting close to zero chances per game. He is working his socks off. He didn't have the best game today but he is only 20 so that is going to happen. He is still the least of our problems.
First of all, it’s absurd — as in insane — to compare Harry Kane to Rasmus Hojlund. Kane isn’t the type of striker who requires perfect service. He takes scraps of chances and scores bags of goals. Spurs were never a chance creating machine under Conte and previous managers yet Harry was a goal scoring machine under all of them.
We’re asking too much of Hojlund, who just wasn’t ready for the PL. He’s a fantastic young prospect but the PL is a hard slog. He needs time.

Because he gets close to nothing from his team mates. Bruno scored, but his general play was awful (par the course for him) and there was little output from Antony and Garnacho. Ironically, Dalot actually made an overlap and created a chance right after he gets taken off, which resulted in that half chance Martial had.
I am not overly worried about the lack of goals, it is the heavy touch and poor weight of pass that is more concerning to me.
Yep quite predictable in a way. Glossing over his lack of service and the p*ss poor players around him.
That's not an excuse after nearly 10 games.

One can point to Højlund as a problem. But you also have to look at the bigger picture. He is new to the club, 20 years old and part of an attack that does not score goals or make assists. There is only 1 of our most offensive players who has made 1 goal and 1 assist. The rest have not actually been able to produce anything at all. It suggests a bigger attacking problem at United and not just a Højlund problem.
Interesting. A striker is paid to score goals, and ultimately, that's what he'll be judged on.
Forgive me for comparing him to one of the best strikers in the world, but Haaland isn't the most polished player when it comes to his overall play, but he makes up for it with goals.
Listen, Hojlund has come into a team that struggle to create chances, and he's feeding off scraps, so it was always going to be difficult for him, but I'd prefer a player with a mid touch and pass, who scores goals, over a player with class technique, who doesn't. Unfortunately, Hojlund is neither at the moment, but he's 20 and will improve.
The guy who said mount would be amazing for us is an authority on Hojlund now?
How is it possible to be this delusional? Dude got what, maybe 3 passes to his feet in total?
As usual he spends the game chasing 30/70 balls in the air. How can you make any assessment based on that?
Are you's even watching the game(s)?!

Its not an opinion. That tweet is simply a fact. Look at the stats around Bruno. He is NEVER passing to Højlund.
