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.

Think we’ll get an agreed deal on this by the weekend, probably earlier. Our dealings with Ajax are usually really smooth
Article says we’re waiting on the De Jong deal.
Where would he fit into Conte's 343?
Aye looks on this. It's exciting, but he's far from a sure thing. But it'll be fun to watch.

Somehow I don't see the phone or mailboxes glowing
Urghhh, alright - it's official for me. This window is boring as feck. Literally the same shite every day. We've known these players are up for sale for months now. "Pressing ahead"? what does that mean? Nothing. It means nothing.
Same old. Man Utd are always in talks and their talks last a month.
Am I the only one that feels like no news is good news? None of us have a clue who we’re actually signing. Obviously we are in for De Jong but I don’t think anyone actually knows who else. I like it 
It's uironic you're saying this because today is probably the first time this window where our targets are clear- De Jong, Eriksen, Martinez, Antony and a right backAm I the only one that feels like no news is good news?

Gonna be a long, mostly uneventful summer. ETH will get FDG and maybe Eriksen, but not much else. Prices just a bit too much to maneuver. FDG & Antony would represent all of the mooted transfer kitty (assuming Ajax would sell at our price). If we're lucky, we get a few more of the deadwood out just to clear space & even get youngsters some PT, but our board better be willing to sell at low prices.
Might be better to hold fire until after Qatar and buy in January. Rather get Timber then than Lisandro now if Timber's biggest worry is getting on the national team. Plus maybe we'd be in a better position after ETH gives proof of concept. Right now, we are selling vaporware to prospective players. ETH really needs the team to be cohesive & entertaining from the start.

It’s clear everything hinges on the FDJ deal. Once that goes through, I’d be very surprised if the others don’t start falling like dominos
I don't quite understand that though. If we don't sign fdj we will surely want to sign another cm and they will likely be cheaper. Why is a move for antony for example contingent on the fdj deal?
You still gonna claim that in mid-august ?Am I the only one that feels like no news is good news? None of us have a clue who we’re actually signing. Obviously we are in for De Jong but I don’t think anyone actually knows who else. I like it
We do know. Timber and Eriksen have almost certainly had offers from United as well as De Jong. Antony probably has as well though this is less certain. We also know Nunez turned us down.Am I the only one that feels like no news is good news? None of us have a clue who we’re actually signing.

Nice white text, but either we get a DM or Maguire needs to be sold. You can't play Maguire without a DM because he is too damn slow and not good enough at reading the game to compensate.
Martinez is apparently fast and really good at reading the game but he's a shorty
Stop reading all the rumours as it's not good for your health. Vast majority of it is guess work anyway.

That’s £73m. Personally I think he’s an elite player and that’s probably about right anyway. If we can get him for just under £70m, then that’s still a good deal for us
Really torn about this.
On one hand - we have a new manager, and we need to back him. If he thinks FdJ is key to us becoming successful again then we should just back him properly and make it happen.
On the other hand - Barca are utter utter cnuts. They’re broke and they need the money from us to get their other business done. If they’re unwilling to negotiate then feck them, let’s walk away and leave them in their mess.

Can we guarantee it over 5 years?
I mean does that work for La Liga?
He doesn't worth £73m , just move on to next target in the list and let Barca dream about this money.
Really do want our clear targets but I'm craving an out of the blue not yet mentioned signing
There's a reason why no top club is interested. He is too expensive. Factor in his massive wages and this starts looking like a mistake.
City walked away from Kane and Sanchez that's what we need to do if we want to be taken seriously.
This is why we'll always be conned in the market. We are so desperate, we never walk away from deals.

Just put some stupid add ons and get it done. He'll never win the CL with us anyway. Or get 10 assist
Ten hag saw that game against palace and then told the club to just buy him Ajax players to save him the hassle of dealing with our rabble
Dont they want 86M guaranteed? They are overplaying their hand bigly.
De Jong is worth the money for the simple reason he can interpret at perfection Ten Hag style. There are only two options: we can sign the profiles that Ten Hag apparently is asking for, players that already understand his game and save a lot of time and money, or we can replicate what Pep did at City: sign a keeper, its not working? Buy another one. Then buy a fullback, and two more, and another one, and all the CBs available in europe. Until you find the right players to fit into your system. But that is very, very expensive.
At the risk of coming across as a bit pessimistic, what, after 2 years in La Liga where he didn't score a single goal, is there to suggest he can play his way into Utds first team?
His performances for Uruguay have been terrific in contrast to his Alavés performances. That's probably what the hope is based on.
Can someone do a big montage of all of the Romano tweets about de jong to United that say 90% the same thing? Reckon this is number 68 or something.
Seen enough of this window already, I’m off here and twitter until we get 1 or 2 signings confirmed.
Starting to get sick of this guy, Romano. He posts so much but there's next to no new information every time he posts.
He's played 6 games for Uruguay, since January, hasn't scored in any of them either...
I dunno, hopefully I'm wrong, but it seems a stretch to imagine him playing any significant role for Utd this season.
But people clamour for new information all the time and get super pissed when there’s nothing being said.
So what is it people actually want? (besides the player signing)
It's two different sets of people.
I've watched a bunch of Uruguay's games, and he's caught my eye in the more recent ones. He may not have been a goalscoring threat, but that's because Uruguay play a 4-4-2. He has been their biggest creative threat in recent games and has racked up some impressive assists in the recent internationals.
