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.
In my 13 years on the caf this is the first time I can remember Cantonas comments have been ignored.
Typical of modern support I suppose.

I'd forgive our performances if Cantona was managing. At least he has a sense of humour.
Yeah this is the first time I'm aware he even made any comment, thanks to your bump.
It's strange to see it so silent in here. You would think fans would appreciate honesty from someone who genuinely cares for the club but I guess not.
He's bang on, even if its said in jest, his simile sums us up to a tee.
I know i would take Cantona's blunt honesty over the current cult movement going on any day.

I for one never thought he was referring to himself there.
Meh, it's just a tongue in cheek joke about how shit we are. Eric is great but there's not really much to post on this, nothing personal on ignoring.
The lack of response to this thread is similar in theme to the debate about the General being less active, the Awards vote being down, the negative atmosphere etc etc - our enthusiasm has been killed off due to the last six years' failings and a future which looks unpromising.
My take on it is, yes we've failed the past 6 years, but when the club is actively trying to lower fan expectations with each successive failure, (Even Ole has done a 180 since he first came in) instead of maintaining high standards.
When it seems everyone associated with the club are more concerned about looking after their self interests instead of what's actually right for the club, it makes you feel awfully helpless about a hopeless situation in general.
The terrible decisions of the United board are killing United on and off the pitch. Eventually we will fall financially as well if this keeps up.
just sick of the board.
Ole simply needs the players in midfield and up front. Perhaps a winger.
I see it as 4 players and we will be in very good shape.
Love it. The man has just so much charisma. He's a natural infront of the camera too. Should have his own satirical sitcom.There is not much to say really. He is right of course, not just with his metaphor, but in general. The structure, the tactics, the culture, the stadium
Was expecting a the seagull like analogy but oh well.. This will do just fine.
Cantona is obviously summing up the post-Sir Alex era, what is there to discuss? It's hilarious in typical Eric style but it's just a joke.
Daily Mail : "Eric Cantona destroyed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in his Christmas video, saying 'United play like an old man' "
Legend 
It's brilliant summing up of the present situation. Love the guy.
I could listen to the King all day.
