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?
Harry Maguire.
He won't play, probably won't even go
He has the talent and the right coach in Guardiola, I think his ceiling is very high but we'll see

Better than David Silva! I so wish it were true but I cannot see it as long as there is a hole in my bottom
Werner, or some young Brazilian that we have not heard of yet
Sané and Arthur.
Maybe Gelson Martins.
Lautaro Martinez:
subject to getting in the Argentinian squad. Hope he gets a run against Spain tonight.

Frank Fabra, the left back for Colombia. Excellent season for boca, looked good against France and has the necessary physicality coupled with attacking prowess for a left back.
Dude, I put an Italian and Dutch player. It was a jokeDe Vrij? Really?
Ziyech is going to be the one to watch
Jesse Lingard
Werner, and I hope, Hirving Lozano
Raheem Sterling to move into the world class bracket by dribbling through the Germans to avenge 2010, the Brazilians to avenge 2002, and then the Spaniards in the final to see off Iniesta, Ramos and co in their last WC tourney.
More likely though we'll get beat by Belgium and draw Tunisia and then John Stones will lay one off to some random Panamanian so they can all go home and watch the Spaniards tiki taka their way to another trophy.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Lingard, the guy has a real spring in his step at the moment.
3rd favorite on Bet365 for golden boot.
I do like the Asensio call. He's got an incredible amount of talent and I could see Spain having some tight wins with him as an impressive substitute and then he gets plugged in as the 2nd goalscorer from wide (sort of the old Villa role) next to whichever 9 they end up picking, and they go from 4 creative midfielders down to 3 (chosen from Iniesta, Koke, Thiago, Silva and Isco) backed up by Busquets and a back 4.
Ashley Young 
Seb Larsson
I expect Jesus to have a great world Cup.
Can you have a breakthrough when you’re already one of the three best players in the world?
'Tis hard to look beyond Timo Werner. Vacant striker position waiting for him with a superb side behind him, including an abundance of attacking midfield creativity.
Reckon Oxlade-Chamberlain will win a lot of fans also, could redefine the central midfield role with his legs.
Good shout too, he's already had something of a breakout season and there's nothing about him to say his trajectory stops here.

Mbappe has a good chance for golden boot I reckon
or Diego Costa
or Diego Costa
Amine Harit (Morocco)
Emil Forsberg (Sweden)
Andrija Zivkovic (Serbia)
Gelson Martins (Portugal)
Lucas Torreira (Uruguay)
Leandro Paredes (Argentina)
Alan (Brazil) if he plays enough.

He's getting on a bit but could still show the young 'uns a trick or two I guess.
Isco or Mbappe.
Lingard as the wildcard.

I bet Guedes will have a great worldcup, scoring at least 2 goals(in a defensiveminded team that plays for Ronaldo).
Hirving Lozano, Werner and Bentancur (if he can get enough minutes).
I have a feeling Sardar Azmoun or Balde will earn themselves a move off the games they have.
Hirving Lozano and Werner would be my picks too
Pavón will come off the bench and get an assist.
Guedes - the new Eder
Joshua Kimmich will show the whole world that the next captain for Germany and Bayern will once again be at right back.
There's been a real lack of breakthrough performances so far.
Right?
Basically just Golovin and every other game has essentially been the expected players doing what they're expected to do
Golovin from Russia. Big club bound after the tournament.
Maybe not a "breakthrough" but I also think Kieran Trippier will have a really good tournament at wing back for England.

I thought Sisto might get a big move but he’s not been great for Denmark so far.
Well done for mentioning his name after the first game was already played. I’ll tell you the top goalscorer when all the games are over.
Oooh, you're hard aren't ya.
I’m surprised you didn’t wait to after the fight before telling me that.
Lo Celso, Argentina, that’s if he gets a game
