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.

Whopper.Im Irish! I was supporting my own players!
Relax guys, I want Ronaldo to carry us to the glory again as much as anyone I just can’t help but see many issues with this transfer at the same time.Oh he’s doubling down is Michael Hutchence.
He did nothing in the build up.Just a poacher
I can't believe anyone with any intelligence tries writing Ronaldo off as that.
"Ronaldo doesn't press, we will be weaker defensively"
"Wish we never sold Lukaku" "Lukaku is awesome"
"Wish we never sold Lukaku" "Lukaku is awesome"
@Rajma must hate Ireland. What a fecking jinx.
Can you make a similar thread for the PL or CL? I'll take either one.

Some of you guys always too hung up on Ronaldo's level of football on a moment to moment basis.
I have watched every single game this man has played since 2003, and at this point in this career I'm not watching him for football itself, but for unforgettable *moments*.
And moments like today just pile up every single year, after year, and the guy won't stop.
Another game he drags us out of the mud. It's countless at this time how many times he's done it...
Just relax, and enjoy.

Honestly mate, I thought I was a miserable bastard in life….but meeting a United fan who isn’t misty-eyed about Ronaldos return, and who’s worrying that it won’t work…..you’ve made me feel so much better about myself
Fail
Should have waited 30 minutes to post this, typical knee jerk nonsense. The best player ever joining us is a mistake, yeah right, go to bed.
OP having a mare.
Can we do the poll now please mods?
Do it do it do it
Nothing like the smell of a thread backfire because the OP was stupd enough to try and judge a player from one match, 60mins of one match.
If Ronaldo gets chances, he will score tons. Always has been that way, and always will be until he retires.

Misty eyed? I’m Irish, I would have rathered we held on. I just watched him struggle against a league of Ireland / premier league u23 / championship level team. He got the goals but did nothing for the team in 88 mins. If he’s going to play as a poacher for us he’s going to get marked out of it and kicked out of it more often than the majority seem to think. Also thinking it’s possibly going to change Brunos role for the worseHonestly mate, I thought I was a miserable bastard in life….but meeting a United fan who isn’t misty-eyed about Ronaldos return, and who’s worrying that it won’t work…..you’ve made me feel so much better about myself
Do a poll. Idiot
What did Bruno do? How good was Dias?
it’s one fecking match, and he just single handidly won the fecker.
Yup, this hasn't the first thread like this I've seen but at least the other people did it when Ronaldo was signed and not after watching a game of Portugal and base his whole opinion in that single game, which at the end turned to prove the OP wrong. You really have quite a few miserable fans.
Well that aged poorly
Mate, Bruno was non-existent tonight. Are we writing him off as shite too? Ronaldo was shite and scored twice. How many games have we drawn against lesser opposition in the last few years?
Anyway that’s not the point….Ronaldos signed for us….just enjoy the romanticism if nothing else. If he’s shite you can tag me and I hope it makes you feel happy (because god knows it sounds like you need it).
The crosses were very ordinary, the kind Shaw or Bruno can play with ease. Ronaldo makes them into goals with incredible instincts and an exceptional leap. If all we need to do is put in basic crosses like that, we’re laughing. The idea that “just” scoring the two winning goals in a poor team performance is nothing to write home about is pretty silly…that’s what wins titles.
A huge miss for Juve ?
I really dont care about any of the above. This is almost like having Eric Cantona returning to lace up the boots.
I don't care what he does, I only care that he's wearing the jersey and enters the pitch at Old Trafford. Everything else is a bonus.
If we feed him chances he will score, its as simple as that he will also demand a certain level from the players and hopefully drag them up with him. Its also competition in the forward areas meaning if your not delivering you will be out of the team keeping everyone on there toes.
Add on to that the role model effect he can have on greenwood/rashford/sancho which could well be the core of our attacking unit for years to come. There is not many ways he can be a complete miss is he plays and we create chances he will score goals, and at the end of the day goals win you games win enough games you win trophies. CR7 will likely helps us score more goals either directly or indirectly.

Pointless reading on after that.
He doesn't always miss
All he did was score 2 fecking goals to turn a 0-1 defeat in a 2-1 win.
Shite.
Shite.
Ban him
IM OUTRAGED!!!!! HE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE DEFENSIVE OUTPUT HOW DARE HE SCORE ARGHHH!!!!!!!!!@!@ HE SHOULD HAVE CLEARED IT!!!!
Seconded
In my defense, I’ve said that I don’t see him as #9 and if anything this game has proven it right when he was moved to the left the space opened up for him. That’s why I created a thread yesterday suggesting he can deliver for us by playing off the Cavani rather than being a lone striker as majority on here seem to thinkOr to make failure seem satisfying in whatever way possible. Sometimes, I wonder if football fans just can't handle the negativity nowadays.
They were all poor, that’s fair. He’ll definitely score goals for us I’m just not sure how we will end up playing overall if you get me. I want him to win the league and CL with us and all that but I’ve defo got some PTSD from the last few years
I don’t think Bruno and Ronaldo look all that good together any time I’ve watched a full international match. I hope he wins the balon d’or with us and Bruno can stay as influential and productive. Ireland deserved to get something out of this game!
"Huge miss" is a bit OTT. However I think people should be a bit more realistic as he is not gonna score 50 goals a season for us like some people here think he will (would love to be proven wrong). However he will do just fine.
I know. I am only expecting 46 goals.
