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.
Turned it off after 2 minutes.
Has Willy Kambwala dropped down to the u16s?
They couldn't invest in an elevated platform?
We stand no chance on an offside, just have to take the decision as it being correct.
Just turned over to see what you are all talking about. Is somebody filming it on their phone? What is the point if you cannot see how the play is building up?
Possibly one of the best matches at U18-level I have seen, if you only look at the defensive work. Both teams have looked really good at the back, which is strange at this level. A bit boring to look at though 
1-0 McNeill
Jurado finds Wellens who puts in a low cross. McNeill controls it and scores it. Well played

Good footwork from Jurado and McNeil for the goal
McNeill is really good in the box - its his work-rate and overall quality I question
Yeah he does seem to come alive on the ball around the penalty area and is more limited outside of that.
Just wonder when we last had an U18-team that was better than this ?
He is lethal - no doubt about it.
McNeill with the misses of all misses. Savage hammers it against the post - McNeill miskicks the rebound. SO much for being lethal
He could have controlled the ball and rolled it home, but tried to strike it first time and missed the goal from 6-7 yards out

Not close the the FA Youth Cup winning side but it's a really well rounded and balanced side with decent depth to be fair. Perhaps the best team since then but maybe not as much individual flair and brilliance as some teams since.
We have had better players - but this is a team almost with no weaknesses, and it even has a strong squad. You take todays team and we could have added Shoretire, Fernandez, Fish, Hannibal and Hugill
No doubt, though before today I'd have said right back and goalkeeper were question marks.
Hopefully Jurado can make the position his own.
Impressive how we control the game in the last minutes of the game. They are getting nowhere!
Full time. Impressive performance defensively. They hardly created a chance and some of our passing was impressive. Hard to pick a player or two - but Svidersky controlled the game really well.
I like Svidersky. Not sure what level he will end up at but he's a clever hard working midfielder.
Hats off to those who persisted in watching this. ( for this camera angle)
Injured.
I feel carsick - but I survived
That’s a genuine fayc contender imo.
Not to mention the injured Kambwala, Mejia, Forson and Pye who's not playing today.
you are so correct
Another win under a new different style (Our work in the defence was outstanding) was fantastic to see.......this squad has so many qualities or like @lysglimt has said "No weaknesses".
To wake up at 6.30 am for a match for the First Team would piss me off but i love to do it for our U18 team this season and i will do it against Leeds on Thursday again

Bjorn Hardley was very good Yesterday imo, been very impressed with him this season.
Thanks for the update, missed the Sunderland-win
It's scary to see Leicester performing so horribly bad at this level. I almost only discuss reserves and U18 now - I think the tone has become so toxic that I can't be bothered to spend much time discussing the first-team.
