In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Expecting his debut against Tottenham given the general time frame of negotiations (preparing bid 2, sending bid 2, rejecting bid 2, etc) but could come against Wolves if things get wrapped up in the next 7-10 days.
I’d still favor slightly overpaying for this guy than not getting a striker at all. I feel like we can’t really move forward next season without bringing in a striker. He will probably not get 30, but even if he get 15-20 and contributes to stringing the play together that will do.
Neither, he’s 20 with good strength, good pace and good at all basics. He can be moulded with good coaching. Anyone expecting returns of an RVP at this stage of his career will be seriously disappointed.
Same. I'd rather overpay than not have a striker again. No point holding out for Kane next year as he could join Bayern on deadline day for all we know. Then we overpay for a striker next year.

The striker, who has a contractual agreement with MU as announced by the English press, intends to respect his agreement if MU agrees with Atalanta. For PSG, it remains a hope that MU will not succeed.
Are we working in tandem? Stalking horse PSG?
Don't think RvP and RvN are good archetypes anyway, a young Cavani is probably more appropriate, but like you say it's a fools game making these comparisons.
Come on. Let’s not lose our main CF target to bloody PSG. He’s apparently a United fan too.
Lovely. Hopefully team Murtough gets this done.

He won’t play LW. That is speculation. Clearly there’s been a brief that he’ll be rotated with Rashford (which to be fair guarantees Garnacho minutes so no problem there).
Makes sense to not just throw him in full time and hope for the best.

Any hope of a good price have surely gone with PSG interested
This guy follows the entire United squad on Instagram. He must be a fan.
The scary thing for me is that even if we sign him it won't be enough. Our preseason games have shown that we need to bring in 2 CFs.
Exactly, let him become his own player without sticking unrealistic expectations on him already
Patrick Schick should be a serious option probably available at £35-45m and an experienced target man
Yeah but that seems pointless. Why would you play him out of position to make it easier for him to adapt?
"Are expected to" from the italian side.
This is just a negotiating position from Atalanta. They're saying what they want, not what they'll get.
I imagine the final fee will be a little below €70m.

The fact that nobody has reported a contract agreement between Hojlund and PSG suggests that Hojlund will probably be pushing Atalanta to accept the United bid instead. Hopefully that can save us a few quid and PSG's interest won't increase the final price.
Seems like a Mount situation, where it will happen eventually. Just a matter of the last negotiations.
Enough for what?
World domination
The more this drags on and the more it seems we are still likely going to end up another CF, even with Rasmus - the more the whole Greenwood situation annoys me again. He could have very well plateaud had he continued playing but at the very least there would have been more backup to Martial. I really hope the club has plans to double stack this position.
An experienced striker in the twilight of his career would be wonderful for instance. What's Giroud doing these days?

Wasn't it stated that Kane wants £600k per week?
United's transfer gurus (overseen by the leeches) are going to cock this up aren't they
Yes, £580k per week.
I like the sound of that.
Really need to get this deal completed and finally get our #9 in. And loving the idea of a young, talented long term striker like Hojlund after years of numerous short fix 30+ year olds.
It already feels delayed, and player probably won't get much of pre-season anyway.
Why? We’ve secured all of our first choice targets so far this window and signed them all for less money than the selling club originally demanded. Bit odd to criticise Murtough and co right now considering this is the most efficient and competently the club have operated in the market in years. This will get done, relax.
Yeah we need a hurry up sometimes
Nothing suggests we’re going to cock this up.
I do wish I had more confidence in the signing though!

The clubs not done well in the past, but very happy with the two summers since ETH arrived.
This year, considering the takeover / FFP issues, seems to be developing into a good effort. Two good signings so far, positive reports about Hojlund and Amrabat, and we do seem to be making progress in terms of getting rid of the unwanted players - albeit that's slower and tougher going because of the wages they're on.
I wonder if this deal will happen similarly to Martial's, with a very high 'sticker price' but a very large portion of it contingent upon success versus a more experienced, established player. Could see it landing around €50m + 15m contingent.
FFS Utd just sign another striker instead of moving Rashford where he isn't suited. Worrying to see the talk of signing two forwards has stopped,does that mean you know who is maybe returning at some point
Yeah not having this sorted before the tour wasn't an ideal scenario at all
This has been reported. Højlund has agreed terms with both United and PSG.
Yeah disappointed we aren't signing two
If this isn't progressing then Ritchie and Murtz must be trying to figure out if we can get Harry Kane.
edit; ok have caught up with the tweets, looks like it's on?
