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?

Presumably they're crossing out the teams his agent tried, and failed, to get interest from?
Can we just let Scholes retire peacefully please?
Must post, even though I know Scholesy was out of retirement for some te
am who name escapes me.

So I can understand how our midfield gets overrun because we have Pogba.
That is unbelievably small time. They've even thrown Barca in there, who I don't remember ever being linked with him!
Shame on you Schalke. Shame. On. You.
I wasn't impressed with Embolo at all during the Euro's, he looked far too raw and clumsy at times.
FFS
When a club and it's marketing division out-muppet us muppets, then someone should ask them to reel it in a bit.
Embolo must be crying inside when watching that, poor fella.
I like how they had the United graphic last.. despite not being last in the list.. Almost like that was the biggest club of the lot

It's even more cringe-worthy than the moronic fan videos.Christ that's small time
No idea. But he wants to leave?
Don't see any facts there. You could literally say the opposite to everyone one of the things you said. Pointless
Is this confirmed?
Phew!
I dont think so . But majority of the people here are already putting him in our next year starting XI though
Did I mentioned our mid will get over runned because we have Pogba ? There is no one in that team who can protect defense, make the crisp forward passes and set the tempo of the play.
You every seen Bastian play football? Rooney pretty much tries to be Scholes V2 everytime he plays in midfield. Defensively we would be fine and have two players who like to play the ball out. Pogba can also play football. Infact I think the other player was Schneiderlin which would mean more energy.
Wow. You know Carrick right ? He is the best passer in our team in that CM. Not rooney ,not Bastian . And If i remember correctly Bastian never really played that holding role at Bayern. He played more of a box to box CM rather than a holding playmaker .I am hoping Bastian could do that holding role at PL but he needs to get out of the Doctors table first.
And Rooney at mid wont work once the team starts to press him .
We need the carrick replacement. can Pogba be our carrick replacement , Yes definitely but not now because he is more of an attacking player now. Can Bastain will be able to do that job ? Only time will tell but im not so sure about that.
Schneiderlin is a defensive box to box CM. He is never the player that will just sit in the front of the back four and pass the ball out . He should be given freedom to close down players and win the ball . Bastian is best as a Box to Box mid too but we will see how things will work for him in the second season.
Yes you could. And maybe it is.
But the question was what reasons are there for Verratti to leave PSG? You could literally come up with anything. He is a human after all, and humans make decisions for human reasons, not just football one's. Does that make the original question pointless?

Draxler eh?
I didn't forgot him he just wasn't mentioned in the line up I was referring to. We don't need a Carrick replacement as Carrick still exists. As I said to you or however talked about deepline playmakers... Where are they in this league?? We talk like every team needs them. I don't care how they dictate the tempo as long as they do it. In Carrick, Bastian and Rooney we have enough.

Who?
Wasn't that the case last season (Pogba may leave Juve), then he didn't.
In fact, we can add several other footballers who want to leave their current great club...but don't.
There is no smoke without fire, but I think Pogba would have no issues staying at Juve, though of course, if he gets a bumper contract with Madrid, PSG or MUFC, he will certainly think about it.
My first thought too.
Good manager from France. Used to be Lyon's manager/coach and won the league with them.
Managed Nice this season I think. Seems to have managed to get the very best out of Ben Arfa which in turn has led to Nice playing very good football I gather.
Managed Lyon. Reached the CL semis with them for the first time in their history. But his win percentage records seem to be bad.
If we need to dominate the Europe we need one of those. Im just not taking about the league. Carrick still exist but he is 35 and I dont want us to be dependant on him anymore.
Carrick , Bastian and Rooeny enough for what ? that mid wont even propley challenge top 4 next season . Bet you on that
Carrick, Bastian, Rooney and Pogba can't battle for the league? Well if it happens put your money where your mouth is!
We don't have a transfer ban we can buy players next summer.
Carrick legs are gone. He may be able to play one game/week.
First let Bastian stay fit for atleast half of the seaon .
Rooney at mid will end up with up with the same old story .
Pogba will show is talent and potential in flashes without any consistency but that wont be good enough.
If you think they can challenge the league ,you are underestimating the PL and the opposition teams.
I yawned 3 times. But yeah we will see. This isn't the Tom Cleverly era our midfield is alright with plenty of options. Hell if it doesn't work play Schneiderlin.. Put Blind in there. We have enough quality to not worry about getting another ball playing midfielder (sorry deep line one). We can get one when we have a striker situation and are left with nothing.
You serious? Hernandez was probably their best player last year?
I don't know why you are dismissing him, 2 has-beens who can barely move and a washed up striker trying to be Paul Scholes is not the recipe for a great midfield at all.
But yet we got overran by a 20minute cameo by Arsenal and Spurs last season and that was it. I'm dismissing him because the argument we get Pogba and lose all defensive prowess is just stupid. We have enough midfielders to set up a good comination. It's not our job to sort that out but Mourinho.
When you play as defensive and negative as we did under LvG where both CM's just sit and hold then yeah, you aren't going to get overran, but if Pogba and Rooney make up 2 of the midfield 3 then you expect them to move forward a lot of the time as that is their strength, which means you need a proper holding CM with power, athleticism, positional sense and energy to protect the back 4 and fill the gaps, not a 35 year old statue or a crocked CM past his best, Schneiderlin is not a holder before you say, he's a ball winner, he lacks the discipline and positional qualities to be a proper holding midfielder, his best work for Southampton was with Wanyama holding and him hunting for the ball as more of a box to box. I'm not saying Pogba coming in is not a good thing, it is, but it doesn't alter the fact that to use him properly you need the right partner and we don't have that in this squad.
