Janujaz next Ryan Giggs, that fist bump.

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.
The 5-0 demolition of Bayer Leverkusen.
Players probably decided to forget who their manager was and enjoy themselves. Moyes thought he was the messiah.

Steve Round and lads brought in, Mike Phelan and Rene Meulesteen let go. That's when the alarm bells were ringing for me. Smooth transition from the smooth operator Moyes, never has happy when he was fired. He was so out of his depth on every level it was frightening.
Yeah sign for Real Madrid the current European Champions and play with Ronaldo or join Moyes Manchester United who aren't even in Europe and play with Fellaini. Tough one that.Apparently Today is the last day of Moyes’s 6 year contract.
It reminded me of simpler days, when everything seemed just as simple of a fix as just sacking Dave Moyes.
Will never forget:
- That equalizing goal against Fulham at home in the 93’ minute.
- Fellaini
- The tres hombres pretending to be agents, negotiating the transfer of Ander Herrera to Manchester United, and failing.
- Almost buying Toni Kroos
- Mata’s helicopter and how everybody was euphoric over finally having a Spanish midfielder.
- Januzaj emerging as a saviour against Sunderland, later on again vs Swansea at home and him starting as a false 9 against Chelsea a week after that, in some really bizarre formation.
- Olympiacos away, by far the worst match I’ve ever seen us play.
- How he replaced SAF’s staff with a bunch of weird people from Everton.
- How everton finished above us in the very same season.
- When he showed Rio Ferdinand and Vidic videos of Phil Jagielka.
- Getting trounced by Pool and City at home, never felt so defeated watching football.
- That Evra screamer vs Bayern
He was never signing Kroos.
Was thinking the same myself. And to be fair the club has probably deserved the ignominy of the last 6 years for not only hiring Moyes but also on a 6 year contract no less.
Hubris.
Still pisses me off that he doesn't use the mouse mat.
Moyes is a thundercnut, you are welcome.
Perhaps the cloud has lifted! No matter some of the poor decisions the club had made over the past few years, no matter the frustrations of having Jose and LVG in the dugout - Moyes’ appointment was the biggest mistake the club has ever made. He destroyed the club in the space of 8 months. Started when he decided he didn’t want to actually start the job, instead going on holiday.
He was so out of his depth, it was comical. We had 19 PL laughing at how bad he was. Much of this could be forgiven if he had some humility, but to this day he thinks he did a good job and would have sorted the club out if he had more time. Dillusional.
Remember the standing ovation he got during plane fiasco. Was disgusted.
I don't think Moyes was in any way good enough for us, completely out of his depth but I always think the idea that he "took a title winning squad and somehow finished 7th" a bit harsh. Cause it probably wasn't a title winning squad, we just had a ridiculous manager at the helm and peak RvP. By the time Moyes took over half that team were completely spent and RvP was back to his injury-ridden self. Rooney was also declining rapidly, and a severe lack of investment in the last few seasons was showing, as well as the fact that we only signed Fellaini in the summer.
So yeah, not remotely good enough, a decent manager should've still gotten top four, but that squad wasn't really a 'title winning squad'. as weird as it sounds, seeing as they'd just won the title.
I read that as "Biggest c*ck mutilation..." In my defence, it is cold af here.
The task of moving on from being Fergie's United was never going to be easy. I must say I'm resigned to the fact that any manager would have found it difficult taking over what was essentially an analogue club, like some ancient stone tablet with glyphs only Fergie could read, in 2013 with City on the rise. However we probably couldn't have done a worse transition if we'd tried.
Was clear as day he was a dreadful appointment. I was gutted when we announced him.
Is this the same op that slagged Bastian Sweichsteinger?
We should be suing him for corporate sabotage
Biggest ever mistake in the history of sports.
I was gutted when we were linked with him
I've never been able to get over how "hi-tec" our manager's office is!

And boy, was Moyes a joke! The start of a long road we are still on: fix sights on one man for the job and don't bother giving real consideration to anyone else
I said he would be out of his depth when SAF stepped on to the pitch to say we should get behind the new manager...
and that we've stopped paying the bugger
help you understand Schweiny? I suggest you get some videos (not just clips) to see the passion with which he played. If you really think he's the biggest mercenary we've had, I think you stopped watching us long ago
do you remember him whining about "we are trying very hard... blah blah..."
Uno, dos, tres times.
I do hope he gets a new job though. He was a very good manager for Everton.

well forest must be due to sack their new bloke later this week...
How did you feel when David Moyes made you and Rio Ferdinand watch videos of Phil Jagielka defending? Was it as big a deal to the pair of you as has since been made out?
Christopher Barnard, via Twitter
I mean this is as close to a confirmation as a professional footballer will ever give. I mean if he didn't made you do it, you just say — he didn't, you don't start elaborate and careful explanations abound the manager's faults in general.
Quite possibly the worst quote I've heard from a professional manager. It's so surreal that it's even funny in a way.
I can remember a couple of years before SAF stepped down, there was a debate (perhaps on MOTD) and some stooge mentioned that David Moyes could take over at United one day.
I laughed it off as being ridiculous....

There are still cases like Samsung stealing some tech from Apple, which led to them paying a 1 billion dollars in court fees... and losing 12 billions more in company's valuation due to the market reaction on the news.
Grime artist Stormzy ridiculed former Manchester United manager David Moyes as he stole the show with his Glastonbury headline set.
The 25-year-old United fan, rapping from the world famous Pyramid Stage on Friday night, sang, ‘I come to your team and f**k s**t up – I’m David Moyes‘ during his opening track, ‘Know Me From’.

I guess you've forgotten Sevilla at home or Valencia away under Jose, or Cardiff at home under Ole. Or Wolvsburg away under LVG? That certainly isn't the worst game post SAF. Also we've gotten slapped twice under Jose by City at OT, although Moyes had the biggest defeatist attitude there has been worse games since his sacking.Apparently Today is the last day of Moyes’s 6 year contract.

Apart from Rio talking about it on camera? (BT Sport)
, is that not concrete enough?5.5 years later we still look set to use a right winger playing centrally after extending Mata
The Curse of Moysie.
None of these were as bad as Olympiacos away, it wasn’t some fluke win for them, we were thoroughly outplayed in a CL KO match against feckin Olympiacos, it was absolutely embarrassing.
Sevilla at home was in no way a fluke win for them, they dominated and deservedly won the game, felt way more dejected after that game. Atleast with Olypiakos we still went though and won the seond leg (RVP hattrick). Sevilla knocked us out at Old Trafford in the last 16 stage, much worse.. (with Jose saying, why are you upset? United always go out! I myself have knocked united out twice!)
Not saying losing to Sevilla is acceptable but there’s a world of difference between losing to Sevilla who were a regular top 4 team in La Liga and serial EL winners, and losing to Olympiacos.
We were truly horrendous that night in Greece.
I personally felt way worse after Sevilla, especially with the team we had out and Jose's comments after the game. But each to their own..
If he did then I stand corrected. All I've heard until now has been leaps of logic.Apart from Rio talking about it on camera? (BT Sport)
