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.
Even that youtube compilation above, you can see the talent, there's just something clearly not right about his application and work ethic. I think we all want him to succeed, but for that to happen he has to want it for himself.
Apparently may be joining ‘Boro according to multiple news outlets....
26 and it will be his tenth club 
Amazing that people still fall for this meme in 2020.
Confirmed by the BBC:
Can’t wait to see him play for the 13 minutes or so this season
Stealing a living, all because of looking like the next Pele as a teenager. Impressive really.
He's started the game tonight, I was suprised to see Paddy Mcnair playing behind him.
Is he good?
I'm actually working right now so not watching, one of my customers is watching on his phone and he says that he was so so. Been taken off now.
Averaged the most touches on the pitch and led Middlesborough with 4 interceptions and 2 tackles. Also had 0 bad touches and dispossessed 0 times, the only non-defender on the pitch to do so. Earned good reviews from Boro supporters and said he looked to keep it pretty simple and he was the only one comfortable with the ball at his feet. Hopefully he's still playing when they come to Charlton next month.
Can this guy be considered the brittish Fábio Paim? 
I haven't heard that name in donkeys years!Can this guy be considered the brittish Fábio Paim?
Never seen him play but was he ever actually better than ronaldo?Can this guy be considered the brittish Fábio Paim?
He was good to the point that Cristiano Ronaldo, at the time he signed for us, say something like this: "If you think I'm good, wait until you see Fábio Paim!"

Cant believe he managed to get a move to Chelsea!Can this guy be considered the brittish Fábio Paim?
Is he the same guy from that alleged ronaldo scouting story that let ronaldo score the extra goal
My man played for two Benficas, TWO BENFICAS! and neither was the actual Benfica.Cant believe he managed to get a move to Chelsea!
He was already going downhill at the time, but Scolari saw him play a few team at Portugal youth NT's and decided to gamble.Cant believe he managed to get a move to Chelsea!
I think that story was fake. I think you are referring to Fantrau, right?
Interesting interview I seen with Kevin Nolan and Carlton Cole last week, they claimed Ravel would run rings around everyone at training and he was amazing (nowt new I know).
They also claimed he'd disappear for weeks at a time and just turn off his phone. I've time and time again said we shouldn't waste our time talking about him but the reality is the kid has to be the most stupid person I've ever heard of. He had the world at his feet and a very very good living to be made playing a game he loves.
What was actually going through his mind whilst pulling these stunts, it's not fly by night job that can be replaced easily, your wage will decrease and you will narrow you chances of future moves. I bet he's seen his wage drop down considerably now than he would have been earning previously.
Madness.

Easy, he's a chav. He's a wannabe gangsta chav kid that enjoys the wannabe gangsta chav lifestyle more than he does the clean-living sportsman's lifestyle. There is nothing to discuss, at all.
Some people might genuinely want to discuss his career even though he's moved on from the club. That need not be a waste of time.
Also, branding him stupid when you don't really know what's going on inside his head seems to be harsh.
what does wannabe gangsta chav kid mean?
It's Someone who chills on the street corner with their tracksuit around their knees getting themselves caught into petty crimes like intimidating random people and stealing bikes.
From Hartlepool mail:
Keen to get on the ball playing just behind the two strikers. Showed promise as he dipped in and out of the game. 6

Sounds like Prince Andrew
Nolan was/is one of Allardyce's minions.Not saying he made this up, but it's worth keeping that in mind.
As a newb I can't post links, but there are reports than Allardyce used Nolan to put pressure on Morrison to sign with a certain agent. I don't know if Carlton Cole is also one of them.
He was probably the most exciting talent I've ever seen. Shame the way it went for him but he just doesn't seem that interested in being professional, nothing against it but it's a shame not to see his talent fully realised.
He used to vanish at United. So I’d doubt that part was made up, nor the point about his natural ability. He’ll be good at Middlesbrough for a while, then he’ll start his behaviours, missing training and disappearing. No idea why he does it, but it how he is.
