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.
In stark contract to what’s happening with Ighalo.
Utd have always come across as a club that do the right thing with smaller clubs and players - allowing players to leave at far below their value because it’s best for the individual. This is another example of acting in the right way.
compare this to Liverpool and spurs putting their non playing staff on furlough.

Good move
Nice one. 130k is also nothing to United and it buys good PR.
"Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me." - Ed Woodward.
No wonder we are £400m in debt.
I like this thread, I vote it stays. We need some positive vibes around here. Absolutely class move by the club.
Also thought of how these gestures of financial generosity will start pissing people off when we tell them we can't afford Sancho.
Brilliant
Shocking move by the club. Debt could and should be reduced to a mere £399,870,000.00 were we not so hellbent on generosity
Another positive PR move from us during this crisis. Much better than we'd have done 24 months ago.
Can't help but think how Real helped us post-Munich. These things stick with people and, although not the reason we should do anything, it's good to have a positive reputation.

We’ve offered to loan Liverpool a PL trophy too
You'd think, but wasn't it Southampton who refused to accept our offer for Bale only to accept Spurs a week later?
It's a great gesture from the club, but it wont make any club think twice about pulling our trousers down regarding transfers etc (see Bournemouth with King).
Opening us up for a loan of a CL trophy there.. dangerous waters.
This isn't a move for the clubs, it's a move for public perception, old fasioned decency, and a excellent bone to the sponsors.
*Jaws music plays as the Liverpool defence force zeros in on this post*
I don't understand how the greedy feckers that run this club are managing to do the right thing time and again during this crisis. Has somebody kidnapped Woodward and is wearing his face?
We should probably be paying Hearts for how bad Periera was.
Tbf with Bournemouth we approached them on deadline for their star player who could be the difference between staying in the prem and relegation. Any club would have put an inflated fee in that deal.
That's a good point, I thought we approached King/Bournemouth before deadline day which resulted in us having to get Ighalo on deadline day.
@Tom Cato I see where you're coming from, and I would rather us do it than not, but I dont think it makes much difference to sponsors etc - if that were the case Liverpool would struggle to get any sort of sponsorship after their conduct over the years.
