We'd just be adding to the deadwood.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Then that makes him pointless, he's hopeless at defending. Buying him for 35 million is bad business he's also 29 this year.
I wouldn't mind him as almost a 'last resort' option to play behind Dalot in the pecking order but he'd be far from my first choice.
1. AWB
2. Meunier
3. Hysaj (Napoli)
4. Valery (kid from Saints, looks promising)
5. Trippier
6. Promote a youth prospect like Laird
7. Keep playing Young. UGH.

Fixed
The only circumstance in which buying Trippier makes sense is if Solskjear is set on playing a back 3 with wing-backs next season. And I think if that was his plan we would have seen it used a lot more than just the occasional game under him so far.
Money Money Money
Everyone wants Wan Bissaka but I can't see it. He's too similar age to Dalot. We need an experience right back over 25. No idea who we can get though.
Trippier looks out of depth against the real elite players or anyone with pace. I can't see Meunier leaving from PSG to a sorry state of a club we currently have.

Only a year older than Dalot but he's got a full season of premier league football under his belt unlike Dalot who has played sporadically.
Trippier doesn't impress me defensively, but can whip in some good crosses. Would be an improvement on that front over anything we currently have.
I too am done if we sign trippier. Brainless defender.
I personally like Wan Bissaka but I can’t see the club going in for him because of Dalot’s age.
I think Dalot can replace Young and Darmian - fullbacks that appears on both sides of the pitch.
Please no
Dalot needs to improve his defensive play first. We know he likes to attack but I remain unconvinced about his defending.
Then again it’s confidence. He’s playing in a side that barely gives him defensive cover
I mean sure, he's not as shit as Young.
But that's all you can say for him.
Would be an appalling signing given all the options out there.

Yet crap at either.
Dalot has shown no promise at right back. The best scenario is to bring in AWB who is already world class in his position, move Dalot up to the right wing and get a Sancho or whoever to rotate with him.
He's the only opposition player that's made me tear my hair out on several occasions. Please pass on him.
Exactly - instead of Darmian & young doing the same thing - I would drop Dalot got him to do the same thing + play as a winger when required.
Dalot, Laird, Wan bissaka & Shaw
Got to sign him so he can "bond" with Smalling and Jones on the bench...
He’s certainly not brainless as a footballer, he just doesn’t have the speed or strength and gets found out. Last year we nearly always had a defensive mid that helped our fullbacks our defensively. Since then our strength in midfield has literally evaporated so Trippier struggles. Offensively he is good. Having said that I think he will be sold and would love to see him go to Italy or Spain and see him do well, there will be interest in him.
If anyone on here wants Trippier at OT, please watch the Spurs-Ajax game right now. He's so far out of his depth.
He’s absolutely fecking shite. It’s actually like watching Young, down to the supposed crossing ability.
I can't stand him. Total liability all season.
He's fecking shit. He's always been a fecking shit footballer that can cross a ball decently but now his crossing is shit too.
I think his confidence has definitely gone and it's affecting him but yeah I don't think Young would do any worse.
Would be very United to buy him for £50m.
And not make any bid for Eriksen...
He's terrible. Why on Earth would anyone but his agent link us?
Nowhere near United standard.
The new Ashley Young
Sure he actually played a ball through to an Ajax player at the edge if his own own box last night too. Maybe a Spurs fan can correct me, was in the right back position when a Spurs player just set up an attack.
He's had a dreadful season after an excellent WC. A real shame as his development from his Burnley days is something to be very proud of but he's hit his ceiling now. Wouldn't be a smart signing.
That was a very Young kind of display last night.
His haircut raises so many questions
I don’t rate Trippier anyway but this performance showed we should steer clear.
Eriksen wasnt much better. He’s been very inconsistent this season.
Why would we want to buy him he is terrible.
Can we not just close this thread?
Gives me depression just seeing he has his own transfer thread. Sort of like Young's contract extension thread.

The actual feck
I'll be quite relieved when he signs somewhere else. We probably were never really interested but still, it would put my mind at ease knowing Woody doesn't have the option.
