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.

Very solid keeper, nothing fancy but very solid
I’d take him as our #1 for the remainder of the season, thanks.
Marketing oppurtunity for Manchester United branded headbands.
He wouldn't be number 2 for long. Lets go.
Decent keeper. Has some howlers in him too but I'd actually take him over DDG at this point.
Would be a very solid number 2, but only for about 2/3 years... he's 34 in December.
More short jokes to come. Cool.
He's decent, this would work.
He attempts 40 passes per game and isn't scared of sweeping, he could be a good stop-gap despite his height.
his good.
It'll be fine, just get him to stand next to Martinez in the tunnel.
How good is he at commanding his area. 1.83 is kinda short as I see no point if we don't get someone who excels in De Gea weaknesses.
What the hell man we're just signing OAPs
He is absolutely brilliant with the ball at his feet, top shot stopper. He should become first choice
Thoroughly average keeper that has the disadvantage of being short. Fine as a number 2 though.
VDS signed for United at 34 and played here for 6 seasons.
Classic Caf
We don't really talk about the height of players enough on this forum at the moment so that should bring a nice new topic of debate...
Game of opinions, Saint.
Van Der Sar was also world class when he signed... and a bit of a freak.
Not sure how being world class has any impact on longevity. I don't think you'd have found many people claiming a £2 million signing from Fulham was world class at the time either. He probably fully restored that reputation at United.
Good signing as long as the club isn’t held to yannsomm
Sums up our Sommer window tbh.
Average
You definitely would have, it was seen as mental that he went to Fulham at the time.
What shite pressing!
Premier league is different level
Pretty okay option
Why are we not looking at someone like Livakovic? Doesn't he start for Croatia? He should be a good backup no?
Correct.
Fulham were pretty happy to get rid, Mark Crossley was taking starts away from Edwin in the 04/05 season and Fulham moved for Antti Niemi as their new number 1 in the summer of 2005.
Always impresses in the International tournaments, he'd be a good move from what I've seen.
Doesn't get involved in the build up play and doesn't tend to leave his area to sweep up.
Point is at least he can use the ball quite well. De Gea needs to go.
Him and Ochoa gonna be international keepers forever
De Gea regen you say? Should fit right in then!
He is like Xhaka, looks fantastic for Switzerland, subpar club football. Sommer is ok, but i dont think he is made for the PL at all.
We could do a lot worse with a number 2 pick than Sommer, won't solve our number 1 problem though.
Mental when you considered his reputation
before Juventus but he was having to rebuild after that. There's a reason he ended up playing for Fulham.
