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?

Yeah but can definitely see it being true as they are crying out for a DM. They are known to have been interested too. Clearly our business is now done.
For christ sakes man…..
Absolutely pathetic if true sack Murtough and Arnold when new owners come in they are beyond amateurs I do t want to hear about FFP in a world with Chelsea doing what they are.
Furious with the club. Nothing has changed.

He was saying both Fred and Donny need to leave before we can sign a new CM. If that's what he's said in his latest piece then that's consistent with what he's said all along.
If he's added that now McTominay needs to leave as well in addition to those two then yeah he's backtracking.
Surely we’ve got to replace Fred though? We were thin in midfield as it is.
It’s been explained plenty of times as to why Chelsea are allowed to do what they’re doing.
…..& you’re furious about something that hasn’t even happened yet? Wow.
With Amrabat available for any club to snatch him up, and at a pretty reasonable price given some of the mad CM fees this summer, then I've been expecting something along these lines to happen the longer it's dragged on - though losing him to Liverpool would be the worst case scenario. 
Tempted to agree. Liverpool missing out on Caicedo and Lavia is pretty huge for them and they need to find an alternative for that position quickly. They have to sign someone there...
Signed Mount when we could have signed him instead. Smart move
I haven't seen the video but I've watched him all of last season and he was a key component in the midfield of the title winners (along with Anguissa). He's one of the most accurate passers in the league, including long passes. He can control a game better than Amrabat can.
Fred was the best of the ‘deadwood’ at the club as well - probably why we managed to sell him.
Not going to shit the bed just yet, but it would be nice to hear some positive transfers news before the week is over.
The Liverpool news feels its coming from the Fiorentina/Amrabat side
I'm sure they're most likely getting frustrated over how long this is taking.
Either they're looking to put pressure on United or Liverpool are indeed doing what they do when we dither around for ages and they just swoop at the 11th hour.
I'm hoping it's the former since Liverpool have been getting linked mainly with the likes of Doucouré and Andre since the Chelsea double hijacks...

Is his agent leaking stories to hurry United up?
Haahahahaha
I’ll be pissed off if we miss out on this one. We’re desperate for another midfielder and he is literally there for the taking at a very reasonable price. Now we might have left it too late and fecking Liverpool are going to step in and sign him, further strengthening their midfield. We may have slightly improved in regards to bringing players in but we’re still an utter shambles when it comes to selling players and now it’s having a major impact in our ability to improve the squad.
Surely he isn’t stupid enough to keep waiting for us to make a move for him.
This one is going to tick me off if we don't get it done. Feel like he would be perfect for us, Wolves game just showed how much we need him.
After what's happened this transfer window, neither Liverpool fans nor us should believe these links until he's actually played 90 minutes for either of us.
Aye. There’s reports saying we agreed personal terms with him a month ago, yet here we are still fecking about trying to get rid of Donny Van de Beek.
Please dont make us watch another season of McT at DM.
We could use Fred right about now. If we weren't going to replace him then we shouldn't have sold him. Pretty simple.
Kind of like those berks denying climate change is a thing. FFP is a fact we have to deal with and the situation with Chelsea has been explained ad nauseum.
So far as Arnold and Murtough are concerned, you seem to be conveniently ignoring that they do not have autonomy and cannot make a move without sign off from the owners. We have seen time and again how the glacial pace at which the Glazers make transfer decisions has hurt us. For all you know they have been pleading with Joel and Avram to pull their fingers out for weeks and get the bid in but the greedy sods are hoping Erik can somehow make it work with the Academy kids instead.
The fact it's coming from a Rotterdam based paper also makes me think it's from the players camp.
Really hoping it doesn't turn into the Fabinho window for us where a midfielder wants to join at a reasonable fee and is basically waiting all summer before Liverpool swoop in and we end up overspending on a worse player (Fred)...

If he starts for us who gets dropped? Mount?
Opinion has not changed.
Mount is not the profile we needed. Club needed to prioritise 6/8 hybrid player and not an 8/10.
Im not convinced Ambrabat would handle pace of the PL.
2 things not mutually exclusive.
It depends if ETH is backing Kobbie as the replacement. Either way, it's shambolic if we don't conclude this deal after Monday's display.
Looks like we are being cheap and not bringing in more signings because our sales fell through.
And what's worse looks like Liverpool might get him....

This never smelled right plus I thought he wasn’t a 6? Whats Liverpool signing him for?
I'm not even sure what outcome I want if Liverpool tries to hijack the Amrabat deal from you guys. It would honestly be kinda funny if we lose this one as well.
My god the level of incompetence is astounding here. Window went from a potential 8 or 9/10 if we had brought in him and Pavard/Todibo, to a 4/10 at best.
Especially embarrassing after what we just witnessed from our first choice midfield on Sunday

Panic stations over 1 tweet??!?
What I want to understand is that why is everyone flat out believing this news? If it was to United it would be examined and scrutinised to the highest detail and would be let’s wait until a Tier 1 UK journo reports this.

Someone send the bat signal to Boehly
Not panicking just yet. As long as we sign someone it's all good but clearly we where waiting on sales and by all reports they've all fallen through
Our ability to progress the squad has been fecked over by the deadwood big time. Inability to move on the likes of Fred, VdB and Maguire swiftly/at all has meant we miss out on Pavard and now seemingly Amrabat.
