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.

He was a quality player in Spain. What happened at Bayern ? Isn't he getting enough opportunities?
He's barely gotten minutes, yeah. Jamal Musiala has way more minutes (329) than Roca does (21), which is highly surprising. I think it's a matter of acclimatising to Germany and settling into the team. That might be why Bayern aren't keen on letting him go yet.
From the original interview it's not entirely clear whether he's referring to Dortmund's reported demands or United's reported offers. Though from context I would assume that he was trying to say they never got a great offer and the one that was on the table would have been paid a lot of the money in a couple of years.
Max Bielfeld is trying to play Romano's game, only he has a show that's airing daily Monday to Friday, so he has a lot of airtime to fill with rumours and thus it may not surprise you that they often get things wrong and badly so.
José Félix Díaz has also reported on Jovic to Frankfurt. He's very reliable when it comes to Real Madrid transfer news.

I don't think he was ready for a top, top club. Just like Olmo. Should have joined a Sevilla, Villarreal etc. first.
EDIT: You can say that about Jovic, too.
Aah ok.
I know 'ideal replacement of Carrick' is a terminology thats used for any defensive minded players but this player would actually be very close to what Carrick offers.

I would offer them £55 million drip fed to them in loose change delivered by carrier pigeon once a month.
With an add-on for a £100 Sports Direct gift voucher if he wins the Ballon D’or.
On the agreement that Zorc also has a tattoo stating ‘Ole made me his bitch’ on his back.
I think it’s a fair deal...
thats brutal, but I like it.
fecking hell, €2M is all he's worth.
Contract expires in 6 months
His contract runs out in the summer. Would you rather they wait until then while he warms the bench and salary?
Uniteds philosophy on transfers under Woodward is buy high sell low.
Liverpool would have got 15m for him.
Edit : didn't realise it was his last 6 months. Although my initial point about buying high & selling low I stand by
They might regret it but they keep a good player for another year and will be happy to sell him to another club for a lower fee. They tried to get a high fee and it didn't come off but 70-80m is a huge return on the 8 million they spent.
It's either that or let him go for free. Fosu-Mensah doesn't want to stay with us, we don't really want him, and there's no club around that's desperate to have him right now. The 2 million Euro fee isn't too surprising.

No one is paying 80m except for City and PSG. I doubt he wants either of them.

Gotta play hardball after the summer
I just can't get myself to take someone with the name Max Bielefeld seriously. For some reason it strikes me as an especially stupid name.
Yes I've cited those clubs before, it's limited but football moves fast and Chelsea could even swap out some of the recent buys to get Sancho now the fee has dropped, Liverpool could buy him if they get a good price and have to sell one of theirs plus I have euros in mind, 70-80m euros is about £60-70 mill. Call it 60-80, whatever. I predicted all this while everyone was shouting pay the fecking 120m euro or 108m in summer and the second wave across Europe that would affect it and the possible much lower fees.

But all the Germans and bundesliga fanboys on here were sure that was the figure they wanted
Out of contract In the summer
Would be a great move for him if he actually plays there.
Ahhh, Timothy.... maybe you should have been "showing people what you could do" for the last couple years and you wouldn't be in this position of "being sad to leave United".
The guy seemed to have all the physical attributes you look for in a player at his position so just goes to show (again) that the mental aspect of being a pro is highly underrated and often overlooked.
That's like offering the Queen a McDonald's, maybe we should try offering him to a club more suited to his abilities, a Championship club, or bottom 5 a Premier League club would be most likely.

Well, that rumour lasted for a short amount of time.

Twice he breaks my heart... there shall not be a third
That's the problem, no Championship or bottom 5 club want to pay him £100k a week.
It's interesting if he has be offered out to Italy, it seems he took Raiola on as his agent last season to try and get this move and it seems no one wants him at all over there. He must feel he's well suited to the Italian league for some reason? Pogba or Lukaku in his ear?
Thank god. TheCaf can't handle Maguire half the time. Ramos makes mistakes that would make Phil Jones blush...
*Insert large gasp!*
How could you say the name of the Spanish prince in the same sentence as Phillip Jones.
Championship clubs maybe not, but I could see Fulham being a club that could - think he'd do reasonably well for them too.
Maybe cos we seen Inter take Young that they could be interested in another meh player.
Honestly, I don't care who takes him as long as he goes. Problem is, he thinks he can play in a top side, his ego won't let him consider playing for the likes of Fulham. Something has to give if we're going to get rid of him any time soon.
He was never good enough to play for United after he got a couple of big injuries. He impressed on his loan deals though. Shame it never worked out for him, seems well liked.
