In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Even the 2nd assist he played slightly behind Ibra.....the mind boggles.
Remember when Anderson got that great assist for Ronaldo against Porto in 2009?
Credit for the assists but some awfully sloppy play generally.
Same has the berbatov defenders would add another assist for just a pass he done for a goal one of our strikers scored lol.
Honestly I want him gone as much as the next person but let's be fair. He's been alright today. Certainly done better on the wing than Rashford has recently.
Better in the second half, looked a bit more threatening.
At least he's starting to look sell able. Keep it up Wayne.
After everything I said about him over the last few years all I ever wanted was for him to put his head down and play on instinct instead of over thinking everything.
Well played by our captain today, not exactly a vintage performance from him but it's a few levels above what he's shown the last 18 months.

Usually his biggest critic, but credit where it's due he played much, much better today.
For the first time in a while he looked full of energy, and actually quite quick again! it makes a world of difference.
His touch and passing were all good, looked like the old Rooney today. I don't expect him to carry this on, but if we can get more performances like that out of him I will be happier.

So is he a winger now?
Shame that goal wasn't allowed as it was onside
He looked good today. Seemed a bit faster than usual...maybe he is the answer to our wing problems
First time in many, many months he's looked like an acceptable premiership footballer.
I didn't think he was that great today but he wasn't abysmal, I still think his touch is poor, he often fails to make simple passes and struggles to take on players. Swansea were poor today which masked a lot of this as he was given huge amounts of space to play in but even with Zlatan suspended for the Arsenal game I still would think twice before starting Rooney.
Worked hard and got a good assist, still lost the ball plenty of times, just papering over the cracks but his fanboys will smoke off it for a month.
Much better tucked out of the way out there, can be tidy on the ball, wander in field when needs be, all with the comfort of knowing we have 3 centre mids behind him.
Actually showed pretty good pace there and the willingness to get in behind. That's been a long while since.
Looked a bit more agile than usual, still not the greatest of touches but definitely an improvement.
Think its the increased energy and creating goals to help us win. We approved of that. Not sure whats automatic about it though.
Maybe the dropping/rest has helped and will help ?
He was very good today I thought. Looked sharp as well.
I think this is fair. Still not good enough, but did play with drive and really shouldn't have had his goal disallowed.
Thought he played very well. His best performance in a very long time. Even looked sharp in the second half.
Didn't watch the game today but he had a good game vs Fener at OT as well and got the goal 3 days ago. He's back to contributing and that's more than can be said of a lot of our attackers.
Should've had another assist with his cut back to Mata and wrongly had a goal disallowed. Haven't seen him play as well as that in a while.
Much better today but he always tends to look better and more comfortable when his team are in cruise control against poor opposition and he gets plenty of time to think on the ball. Can be useful in games like today and against sides lower in the table, but I worry he'd look like his usual self against opposition who press us and make the game a lot more difficult...which is probably more sides than not in the league. Still, credit where it's due, an improvement from him.
Fair play to him, he actually looked dangerous today.
Nothing special, but much better than some of his other performances this season

Looks like he found his touch and had a spring in his step today. Even made some penetrating runs. Needs to find some consistency. Should have had a goal too, he was onside.
Hmm, Ibrahimovic had two goals and an assist...
Strong and disciplined today. It was good to see someone showing some intensity even though not everything came off for him.
Hugely improved performance relative to his recent form and it also reached what could be described as an acceptable level.
Wasn't great, wasn't poor either. More of a "did a job" performance which at this stage in our season is not the worst thing. Good first half, tailed off in the second half as usual. Better off the ball than on it definitely.
He did some good things but a lot of bad things too. It was a decent performance for him.
Good game from Wayne today, especially in the second half. Thought his running off the ball was excellent. Was constantly trying to run in behind when Zlatan dropped deep.
Haven't seen him run with the ball like that for a while. Guess those are the benefits of playing out wide, as when you're in central positions, it can be very congested.

Probably the best hes played overall in ages. Contributed well. I think it helps when hes not central because from there all he does is get the ball and try ping it out wide.
When hes out wide, he cant really do that so it has to go towards the middle

About time he did considering all the chances he's been wasting.
Done ok but still completely awful and must be sold asap
Looked pretty good today. If he kept it up and wasn't on astronomical wages, I think he would be an asset.
Pretty good at times. Was surprised.
Wonder if he can do similar vs Arsenal though.
