You might do if you take your opinions and your subjective perspective very seriously. Which is sort of what you implied when you announced you weren't going to support the team because they signed someone you didn't like. I hadn't seen otherwise so I assumed that was still your stance.

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 like how people are mentioning his faults and what he did wrong in the game, I thought overall he played well did not amke many mistakes and held the ball up well. at the end of the day he scored 2 goals that massively helped us win and i think he will improve.
Smalling? really? that's quite a weird comparison based on what he was doing with the ball yesterday. Made some great runs, and linked up great in attack for the most part.
I never give an opinion on something I don't watch, and support and watch aren't the same thing, you can support and not see a lot of the games, just follow the results and match write-ups, which is what I had to do as a kid because I didn't have the access. The truth is between our transfer window and the grotesque PSG shit I've found myself feeling very hollow about football, since the leagues kicked off last week I've only watched 2 games, both of them ours.
what on earth is there to feel hollow about our transfer windowWe haven't bought for 3 of the positions we needed players in and I don't care for the profile of the players we have bought, Lindelof not withstanding as who knows how he'll adapt, he's young enough to get to grips with things.
His improvement trajectory to-date has been excellent and I expect him to improve further with us. He's a class act.
Did you enjoy our league opener?
I loved his celebration for his first goal. You can just tell he's absolutely delighted to be here. There's a real team spirit about the place with some genuine friendships within the ranks and it's fantastic to see.
I was glad we won.
Cheer up ffs
we aren't even getting persic no more.You didn't enjoy the football we played? Best in a while imo.
I think we all saw the biggest difference between Lukaku and Ibra when Lukaku got the ball in midfield and was able to sprint past the defense. That really set the tone and keeps defenders guessing. Really excited to see how this season goes for him, potential is sky high and so are my expectations 
.
.Jesus, just let that doom monger to moan away. We beat West Ham 4:0, his favourite player scores 2 goals and he's just 'glad we won'...
Any match comps online?
Didn't you enjoy the way we played?
we may still get Ibra back for the later part of the season will help him alot.
Silver cloud or whatever the saying is!Cheer up ffs
It was very direct, very overpowering the way Mourinho likes it, the best thing about it was that we went for the 3rd rather than shutting up shop.
Pretty/Attacking football is far easy to do after you go 1-0 up!
Lakaku might not be the silkiest on the eye but getting that first goal is far easier with him in the team.
I was impressed with his first appearance at Old Trafford, and can't wait to see him develop an understanding with Pogba and co.

So I'm assuming no with the way we played? I don't know what wasn't enjoyable about that preformance.Silver cloud or whatever the saying is!

I enjoyed reading about how three of our players, Including Lukaku were among the top four fastest in the opening weekend. Very impressive and a good marker for our future I hope.
Pace is so important and something we've been missing.
On a vaguely related subject I saw a picture of Kanchelskis this week. Not looking so fast these days that's for sure!

We have the potential to be a very frightening counter attacking side as much as we can dominate the smaller sides. Actually looking forward to the big games this season.
We have bought for positions we need, more goals, 2nd in terms of scoring in this league. Rojo injured, Jones and Smalling unreliable? Young and upcoming defender. Another midfielder for depth? Huge defensive midfielder whilst crippling our rivals. Perfect off season so far.
We haven't added more goals, we simply replaced the goals we got from Ibra, it's been far from perfect.
Age 13.
Rashford in his third year, Pogba settled, Mata who was one of our better scorers is not injured, with the prospect of adding Ibra again, we're in a good position, ideally another striker will do, but with the growing talent we have it's possible they perform to a better standard than last season. Which generally is how it works with younger promising players.
Hopefully we add another striker but like I said SO FAR we have had a successful window, unless players leave it'll continue to be just that.
Edit: it's not as if we didn't create the chances, We just had a hard time putting them away, Lukaku is reliable especially vs the smaller teams, Lukaku also gives us another dynamic, someone who truly can run in behind.
Ibrahimovic doesn't score the first goal against WHU.
Lukaku brings a different dimension
I don't think anyone in our squad last year scores the second, not as much as they should anyway. Great to see a United No.9 get space, win the header and put it right in the corner.
One game in, you might be. But we're fans, we're allowed to get carried away about our players!
I got a feeling he's going to be one of my favorite players quite soon
That turn of pace when he sped past a player very early in the first half, Jesus.

He scored on one of the harder chances he had in the game. That pass from Martial and and the one from Mkhitaryan, he could've taken the shot first time with his stronger left foot. I won't be surprised if he does score 4 in a single game this season.
I don't watch as many non-United games as I probably should but I had no idea he was as quick as he is. He's going to get 30+ this year.
I've only seen highlights as was away this weekend, but he looked sharper than the opposition yet calm. Good movement and that sharpness made him seem quicker. Looks like he's adding something that Zlatan didn't on the pitch.
His attitude is top notch too. Loved his 'everyone fighting for a place' comment.

I could see him averaging more than 1 goal per game this season.
My thoughts exactly Red Rom is a beast, I predict he will score minimum 30+ in all comps.I think we all saw the biggest difference between Lukaku and Ibra when Lukaku got the ball in midfield and was able to sprint past the defense.

Hopefully Zlatan returns for the 2nd half of the season to push us towards the title.
Agreed. Ibra's return will provide welcome relief from the strain of the long CL and prem seasons.
We replaced Ibra's goals with Lukaku, but the rest is just figners crossed the same players that failed to deliver last season suddenly deliver. We needed a secondary source of goals added, and once we bought that source should have been someone to play off him to compliment what he can do and cover what he can't. We also needed another quality wide attacking option and a LB, and you could argue another CM as we are still using Fellaini.
