In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

You get your handicap down Gareth.
Mentioned Tuanzebe and 20 mins later there is a tweet about him.. the article stub was created 3 mins after the post and was updated when the tweet went out.
Stop lurking
Took him 20 mins to make that shit up.

is Bissaka is worth £50m+ after one good season, Maguire is surely worth closer to £80m in the current market, especially for the more important position. something like £70m would probably work.
It looks like just haggling at this point and we'll get AWB. Happy with anything around 50-60m. IMO the remaining transfers this season are:
CB: De Ligt (Probably going to PSG), Koulibaly (Nothing concrete yet), Maguire (Overpriced), Diop (Likely, can get it done with some transfer haggling). Definitely not ideal that we're signing our fourth choice CB when it's the biggest problem area within the squad.
RW: Sancho (not happening this year), Danny James. Looks like we're content with Rashford / Martial on the wings for this season. Not ideal, but not terrible either.
CM: Fernandes (heavily linked, probably will happen, but won't be an #8), Rabiot (Going to Juve), no other links AFAIK. Very concerning that we're going into the season with McTominay, Matic, Fred, Pogba and Fernandes.
CF: If Lukaku leaves, we need a WC striker. Not many of those floating about and AFAIK no concrete Utd links. I'm guessing we'll keep Lukaku this season, steady the ship a bit, and sell next season.
Overall, looks pretty depressing but we should still compete for fourth esp. considering Chelsea lost Hazard. I'd predict we start the season with:
-------------- De Gea --------------
-- AWB - Lindelof - New CB -- Shaw
--------------- Matic --------------
-------- Pogba --- Fernandes ------
-Rashford ---------------- Martial--
-------------- Lukaku / New CF -----

"I don't think he wants to go out on loan. He's got a lovely life and home in Spain. I think it would take something exceptional for him to leave and loans are not on the menu.Tweet

Asked about Bale moving to United, Barnett added: "He could fit in there. I think he could do very well - he is still one of the best players in the world. But it is very unlikely."

Boost? What boost exactly? Another player in the long queue of overrated bunch we have in our club. Not interested one bit if he leaves.
Longstaff, James and Wan Bissaka....
Won’t be a surprise when we finish 10th after that summer.
My thoughts too. Maybe a loan and villa can pay €8m to have first refusal if we decide to sell
Buying those 3 while getting rid of Fellaini, Herrera, Valencia, De Gea, Pogba and Lukaku. Would be hilarious.

Offering a buy back clause for 20m on axel would be smart for United.
Ed Woodward is responsible for transfer targets now?
We're the definition of mugs if we give Mata more than a year.
We've known that for a while now.
We are mugs thats for sure
Wouldn’t it be smarter to try and integrate him to the squad first?
What’s the point of the academy then? Just to sell them with buy back clauses we’ll never activate?
There’s really no point to that, it’s a waste of everybody’s time.
Longer than one year extension?
We’re getting fecked more than a scene with Erik Everhard.
That's it, I think I need a little break from this thread.
Is Mata being kept on to keep DDG happy? It really wouldn’t surprise me especially since Emiliano Alvarez was allegedly brought in as goalkeeper coach for DDG to sign his most recent contract to keep him happy.
We need a CB. So do one for us if you need your man. Straight swap with Skriniar.
They apparently said no to that
Everyday I check this thread to see how it's going and it's only getting worse
Dread to think what tomorrow, next week and next month may bring

Ha! If we only think he's worth £40 million why do we even want to sign him?!
Yeah, feck that then. They need a striker and we need a CB. We are not running a charity.
Leicester probably think he’s worth 110m as if he’s a young Rio Ferdinand whose WC talent was obvious when be was 18 years old.
Feck Leicester, please put this horrible rumor to rest.
Don’t know why but this really pleases me.
So we have to pay more than twice as much for Mr nobody Championship player, yet they only want to pay tuppence for a player who helped them get promoted.
I think get fecked springs to mind.

£40M is a good offer for Slabhead
Trouble is once you become an England regular it give clubs carte blanche to double their asking price.£40M is a good offer for Slabhead
Sell Tuanzebe for ~£10m, a player who frankly every United fan on planet earth would rather have in the playing squad than Jones or Bailly...
Sign the likes of AWB and Diop for >£50m each, who are both at the same level of development as Tuanzebe. Sign an overhyped schmuk like Maguire for >£75m.
fecking sigh. I've never had such a strong sense of slow moving car crash, even when we were rolling through the first Moyes summer. At least then we had some good quality targets even if we knew the deals wouldn't happen.

United need to overhaul. Mata should be released.
Rebuilding really needs to start now.
Weird summer so far I've witnessed at United.

It would be smarter, that's what I hope we do. We'll be playing Thursday and Sunday most weeks, there's plenty of games for Axel to play here next season.
This just isn't true though is it?
Both those players have impressed in the PL for a full season whereas Axel has a handful of appearances.
Wan-Bissaka won more tackles and interceptions combined than any other player in Europe's top 5 leagues last season.
Just to break it to you mate; nothing has happened yet. It’s just journalists and tweets. Why go full mental now?

Wow, this is going to be some transfer window. DDG, Herrera, Lukaku, Pogba - all of them could leave this summer and that's on top of us needing at least a CB, RW, RB and CM before the window opened. I don't think we will be able to find suitable replacements for our 4 senior players in time.
To make things worse, we are bidding so low for the players we want, that by the time we reach an agreement, it will be the next window. I mean, who on earth thought it was a good idea to bid 25 million for AWB and 40 for Maguire? 35+15 should have been our first bid for AWB, similarly 50 mill plus bonuses for Maguire. There is no point bidding these ridiculously low amounts when we have so much business to do. The only thing it will do is piss off the selling club.
Also, 3 year contract for Mata is just bonkers. Our contract negotiation team deserve some kind of bonus. They let Herrera's contract run down but have new contracts to Rojo, Young, Jones, Fellaini and now Mata. If we mess this window up, it will take us a long time to get back to the top.

Sure but Axel is just a few months of regular Prem football at a club like Villa from having the same CV as those two in regards to experience.
Not saying he would necessary impress as those two have, but the point is this drive to invest in young players should start when they're at Axel's stage not when they've already been unearthed. No club on planet earth can afford to stack their team with young Premier League talents who have already emerged, especially English ones. It's even less financially viable than signing average foreign players like Rojo and Blind alongside superstar names.
