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.
Solskjaer wants to win a trophy
“Four games away from winning a trophy. The team has developed all through the season, delighted with finishing third but next step is winning a trophy.”

Lingard shares trophy ambition

Lingard looking to build upon Leicester goal
“Not had the best of seasons, and after lockdown I wanted to impress the manager. The hard work paid off (vs Leicester) and a goal gives you confidence. I am looking forward to playing in the next game.”

Solskjaer tempted to rest key players for rest of season?
“The players want to play, they don’t want a break. It is not easy to say ‘no, you’re resting.’ I hope the players need to win like I do. For me we go into the tournament with players wanting to win, and we won’t be giving them a break.”

Lingard in the presser. That's a nice touch regardless of whether he's on his way or staying in a small squad role next year.
Lingard looking to impress Solskjaer
“Every game, every minute I play, I have got to try and impress and do as much as I can to help the team and impress the manager. It is the perfect way now to get a run in the tournament.”

Tuanzebe and Shaw injury latest
“Axel started getting niggles and had to have an operation in his foot. He’ll be back early September. Same with Luke, should be ready for when the [2020-21] league season starts.

Lingard to start vs LASK
“Jesse will be starting tomorrow, but the team won’t be too different from LASK in March.”

Nah. One-legged ties.
Knockout tournament.
oh damn, I didn't know. Thank you!
United plans for Europa League knockout tournament in Germany
“There has been a discussion to how tournament pans out. At the moment we are staying, so we will be staying in Germany.”

think they're straight knock outs now?
No it's a mini knock out tournament. No away/home legs.
Smalling coming back?
This actually is a nice thing. No traveling and they can have a proper training.
No transfer update amid Sancho interest
“This transfer window is a long one. Every transfer takes its course. It is what it is, so if there is any news we will update you.”

How has style changed under Solskjaer?
“Different managers have different ways of playing. Man United has always been attacking style we love to attack, to press a ball. The boss has brought that to the team. We like playing quick and scoring goals.” - Lingz

How has style changed under Solskjaer?
“There is no right or wrong way to coach. For me I have been here for 11 years as player and four as a coach, I have been influenced by those years. We are working on pressing high, on counter-attack.” - Ole

Lingard's scoring slump
“I have always scored goals, U18s, reserves. it is about setting goals for me personally throughout the season. each game is different. It is down to you as an individual. I have been doing a lot of training with coaches, but I am sure it will come.” - Lingz

Chris Smalling update
“I think Chris has shown how valuable he is for Man United and this season was about being a regular, proving how good a centre-back he is. I wanted to give Harry, Vic and Axel a chance so we find out Roma was best for him. He has shown this season he will be valuable. I have been speaking to him throughout and have been delighted with his season.”

Lingard starting again and Smalling coming back, terrible for United.
Conceding so many of Lingard's goals in training might be what's drained de Gea of his confidence.
Smalling ain't coming back. Ole is just talking him up.
He did the same with Sanchez.
Who's watching the post match with Andy Ritchie?
No, I think they've reduced each tie to one game now.
As someone pointed out in another thread earlier today, Ole - thankfully - isn't showing his hand every chance he gets. He's actually a bit clever like that.
People had meltdowns when he praised Sanchez around this time last year - days later, Sanchez was off to Italy.
Winner
Lingard's LASK chance to prove he can be a squad option.
Indeed, he's good at sounding positive while confirming nothing. Probably means we can't find a buyer but we're trying to flog him.
We are very interested in hearing what Lingard want to say in press conference.
Thanks Ole?
Thanks Ole?
Exactly. I don't know why people take Ole at face value when he says that kind of thing. He's hardly gonna say so and so player is utter dross. He's not Mourinho.
He was non committal too, he only said that he was happy with his performance when he was on loan.
Jeese's contract ends June 2021. We have the option for a further year which we will activate by January most likely. He is reportedly on £100,000-a-week which I can't see any other side in the world matching even if they did want to sign him. Jesse will run down this year on his contract to pocket that good salary in my opinion and you can't really blame him, can you? I expect that we will sell him next Summer if possible or he may even run down that year again so he can move on a free and get a signing on fee wherever he goes to compensate being on less wages.
For these reasons, I think he is the player most likely to stay out of the so-called deadwood or at least the players most of us expect to be on the market from our squad.
