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.
Hesitant smile from Ole. Seems he's read my thread
Good to see his contract renewed, he's someone I'm desperate to see make it here at United. Seems like he's over 6 foot now, fast, strong, good ball-playing abilities and a leader. It really surprised me that out of Ro-Shaun Williams, Timothy Fosu Mensah, and Axel Tuanzebe none will be a first choice CB for United. They were unfair at the under-18 level a few years back. Mengi is of a similar order.
Was playing very well, and after the corona break seemed to have lost form completely. It looks as if he's playing well at Derby, so I still have high hopes for him. If it is not Mengi, Willy Kwambwala is another huge talent United signed for the CB, he's just 16 though.

By the time he’s back from loan, he’ll basically be in the same place as Axel, with Tuanzebe not being able to put any real daylight between them in the 5+ years. Both could have had impressive Championship loans by then, and some decent showings in pre-season and I’d say their situations are about level. Axel hasn’t got a couple of years of credit in terms of good centre half showings for our first team yet, and I they could start next season as equals pretty much.
I’d loan him straight back out to Derby/equivalent side again if he’s doing well enough there. There’s no point coming back here next summer to be a ‘squad option’ and be sat with 380 minutes to your name in mid March like Axel Tuanzebe has.
Mengi would batter him
Great news,he’s certainly a very exciting prospect...Good to see us securing the futures of all these talented young players...
One a day at the moment! Who's signing tomorrow?
It's not a weigh in mate, they're just announcing his new contract.
Laird hopefully. Or Hugill? Not sure their current deals but Mengi, Hannibal, Hugill and Laird would form the basis of a good team hopefully.
Time for a new thread
Not very happy about Ole’s forced smile and fist pumping thin air , lack of ambition and fight
Seen him smile more after a defeat
yeah, looks like they are touching elbows too. what do you read into that?
Good to see we're tying down a lot of young players to new deals. It looks like the future planning at the club is a bit better than it was a couple of years ago.
It's really encouraging from the club, it finally looks like there is a proper strategy around the younger players at the club.
It's going to become increasingly difficult to sign players from other PL clubs so it's going to be vitally important that we can fill half of our squad with talented lads from the Academy.
This will give us a huge advantage because we can then focus our spending on real world-class talents and go all out for those special players that make the difference, rather than have to sign 'filler' like Blind, Darmian, Schneiderlin, Rojo, Telles (not that he is a bad player/signing) etc..

Odd that Mengi is the only one whose contract length has been specified. I guess it’s some dopey graduate in the Comms department, and can probably assume Mejbri and Elanga both got the same length (of contract!).
Good news. Not sure what was up with his form for the U23s but seems to have quickly found his feet for Derby.
Unprofessional giving the current pandemic
Got equal top rating for Derby against Norwich at the weekend, with Wisdom and Lawrence. He and Wisdom kept Pukki quiet the whole game apparently. Sounds like he's starting to find his feet at Derby, almost scored, brought an excellent save from Krul.
Another good loan next season could put him on the fringe of United's first team.

Highly unlikely. What may happen, however, is that he is sold for good money (which will be also a good thing)
The lad is 18.
