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.
We could do with a rest, like city had
Should call it off really to give us a rest, sorry, protect Newcastle

Probably some backroom staff members caught it, and our players must have tested negative thankfully.
Hope those affected get a speedy recovery.
Get well soon.
But its so close to the game so positives may not have shown yet? Thats what makes the City game so strange, if that was the reasoning then every game with positive tests close to kickoff must be called off.
How do you know no players have caught it?
Imagine having to play the kids against Sociedad. Just don't lose 5-0.

Because the game is going ahead. Maybe the tests came back and McKenna and the like tested positive while the lads came back negative. The FA would surely have contemplated these things before giving the green light.
Must have got it from Pogba 
We could still be missing players it doesn't have to be all or nothing.
Surprised this is still going ahead. Hard to imagine some of the players haven't caught it.

Has there actually been any cases of players infecting each other during a game? Of course it's difficult to know for sure, but there have been a few outbreaks and it doesn't really seem to spill over to the team playing whoever had the outbreak.
You would think stringent testing protocols are in place.
That makes more sense. That could be why the players appear to be OK.
Isn't it the case that you can have the virus but not test positive in the early stages?
Bet you it was Martial
Ok that is a bit better.
No idea to be honest. That would be concerning if so. Football has generally kept a lid on the virus pretty well though.
Didn’t take long for the knowledgable folk of RedCafe to act under the assumption they know more about the impact of Covid-19 transmission at Manchester United than Manchester United itself. Do continue.
Maybe Nicky will know how to beat a low block.
Ok that doesn't sound as bad as it was initially made out to be then. Hopefully they all recover fine, and it hasn't spread any further.
He’s played in a team who did that every week...wait, so did Ole.
Glad to hear Ole’s results were negative...was that his first real test?
Just another test he’s passed
Be good to see Nicky on the touchline.
You can tell how he looks
Would be nice to get a week off, we don’t provide them brown envelopes to the FA like some though..
Would be the first thing De Gea has caught in about 2 years
Hope they make a speedy recovery
Even in rugby where players tend to get a lot more physical with each other positive players haven't spread it to other teams.
It's very hard to catch outside, luckily.
I hope the FA that we are paying off give us a few pens today. RAWK has opened my eyes to this.

This sounded bad for a moment!
Hopefully it is just coaching staff, and we've dealt with it superbly and no knock on effects.

Hate it when we don't get our money's worth.
