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.

whose position would he take in your mid do you reckon?
Makes complete sense, unfortunately.
I think we'd rotate but Wijnaldum is the obvious one. Fabinho and Henderson are both likely to start when fit.
Please don't let Liverpool get him. When fit he's world class without a doubt. So much talent and control.
He seems like Bruno with a lower error percentage.
They’re signing him. Close this thread and stop the suffering. What a fecking player though.
Why does he want to leave Bayern then?
Brilliant player, would be great in our midfield.
Looks well past it. Great we are giving Liverpool a free run. We don't need a player like Thiago. We can just play Pogba and Bruno 60 times a season. And if they're not available there's always Pereira or Fred.
Meh he won't have Ter Stegan feeding him passes at Liverpool 
Amazing player and I am super sad he will leave.
People ask why he wants to leave -> last big contract of his career and he wants to experience the Premier League. Fair reason I would say.
People ask why Bayern let him go - > Bayern can replace him. Kimmich Goretzka is set as their future DM duo . Pavard will come back and play RB again. Thiago has one year left on his contract, but Bayern would rather sell him and get some money instead letting him go for free next season. Also, Thiago has been a amazing personality on and off the pitch. Bayern always respected these kind of players desire to leave.

Pissed all over Barca's midfield. What a player.
Can't seem him leaving after that type of performance
Bayern have no choice than to sell him. He doesn't want to stay
What a boner he’s given me after this kind of performance. Please Woodward go get this guy. Absolute virtuoso today.
If Liverpool get him, just ugh.
Going to Pool by the looks of it.
Booooo!
Wannabe "elite" hipster midfielder vs Scottie and Fred.

Little maestro ran the midfield today. Seeing him in a Liverpool shirt would be sickening.
Sign him!!!!
fecking Woodward sign him!
We should give him a blank check. Yeah he can maybe win a title next season with Pool but they already did it without him. If he did it with this United team we would build a statue.
I'm glad we may avoid him because he would block the pathway for Mctominay and may halt Garner's development.
Incredible player, backed up by his achievements.
A chance to move to the current PL champions to win his 10th league title by the age of 30 and in the top 3 leagues in world football, plus a big lucrative contract. If Bayern win the CL then he will probably have more motivation to move on for a new challenege.

That better be sarcasm.
It’s so hard not to want him after such a performance, but you just know the moment he steps on to the pitch for us he’ll do his knee in.
Gonna be miserable watching him shine for the Scousers.

And a waste of €30 million....
Are PSG interested in him? They could do with a midfielder like him. Really hope he doesn't sign for Liverpool (or City) as I think he'd be a brilliant signing for them.
Thiago and sancho would do very nicely. Two world class additions to this Man Utd team and we would be able to challenge on all fronts.
We only need him for 30 games a season regardless and he has the right attitude ala Ighalo which is a similar player with regards to the age profile.

He is precisely the type of player we desperately need in our squad. fecking bargain at 30M. Why would we not try to sign him?
The only reason he wants to leave is simply because he wants to play in the Premier League. No way he will leave Bayern for PSG or a Spanish side.I actually think he only wants to go to Liverpool.
Injury record and maybe also the fact the player prefers to join the reigning champions.
Sarcasm is for the weak. The next few years is going to be crucial for our young charges and they need to grow together, even if they are not that great. No point buying an excellent 30 year old, who meets all our needs if he is to halt their development like Sanchez did.
I pondered and posited this a couple days ago. Apparently he’s got excessive wages, and the club looks to do awa from this practice. That said, Thiago is the type of crack this midfield needs and at that price is a no-brainer.
He is perfect for us.
Give him the Matic spot and he will instantely bring joy to watch.
Sancho, Upamecano and him for the summer and let ditch Pool and City.

i love for us to sign him, just to hear the same excited people bitch and moan in January about how he was a giant waste of money and a has been on massive wages. You guys never learn.
Never learn what ?
He is not injured like Owen and Bastian
He just out played Barcelona with ease.
He play from deep with a n*10 level of skill.
He can get out of press, and look at ease in crowded area
He can play it short or long with great accuracy
30 Million is a bargain
