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?
We should keep both Pique and Evans if Heinze leaves.
12mp..and you can have him
Seriously pique should stay

It's not in the style of Man United to sell the brightest talents in Europe.
We can sell Richardson or maybe Smith... but not Pique.
Players like Rossi or Pique waited very long for having a place in the first squad. They simply deserve a big chance.

Pique has waited long enough for a chance with us. This season could be his time to shine. However I worry that we may have too many central defenders here with Rio, Vidic, Brown, O'Shea, Silvestre, Evans, Pique. Surely they all wont be starting here next season.
silvestre and brown are too good to be reserve players, but they are not going to get much playing time at all. The thing is they are good because brown covers for rb and silvestre covers for lb. If hinze leaves we will need his cover etc. They can stay but they won't all be happy.
I think we should keep pique and Rossi for one season to see how they do in the premiership. I would say that all the recent rumours that Rossi and Pique are wanted by other clubs just aint true, it will all be paper talk because their futures are uncertain.

I think if we get an offer of about 6m+ for Pique, we should accept.
Where as he is clearly an excellent player, Evans is equally good, and we have maybe a few too many defenders as it is.
I do think we can afford to give him one more season on loan.
Rio, Vidic, Brown and Evans will be enough for centre backs.

pique has better pace than evans imo. 6 mil is cheap. Who could we get for 6m? nobody significant.
Keano could use some defenders.

if we give him one more season on loan, he would prefer to stay in spain..... if one of them should go out o loan, it should be evans and that too for the 1st half of the season only
Evans should go on loan and pique sould stay
Pique can be good mates with Torres 
And Ronaldo, they all look like cool disco boys.Pique can be good mates with Torres
Pique should be brought up to the squad this season, if it looks as if he will make an impact in a year or two, United should keep him. If it doesn't, sell him when his value is still high in Spain....
Pique has been quoted as wanting to continue a career in Spain.... whether it's with United (on loan) or with another team....
Problem is, Pique's United spell collides with Rio's and Vidic's top form and as things stand they are unlikely to be separated in the following season nor any of the coming ones. He might be keen on fighting for his place, but whether he has all the quality to make it into our first team is another issue. Personally, I think he's a fine defender who could do very well at most of clubs but unfortunately I don't think he'll be given a chance.
Difference between him and Evans is that I can see Evans settling for a back-up role, Pique will definitely ask for a move if he can't cut it at United.

Pique and Evans are quality young centrebacks. One major difference is i would rather sell Pique on the high now, for at least 8mp.. As for Evans, he is our future. There is no way we should keep both of them cos Rio and Vidic are still considerably young for defenders. As for Pique, we don't have to worry cos he is a Catalan, and his heart will always be with Spanish clubs and the la Liga.. However successful he may be in United, he would wanna move back one day. Rather than waiting for the day to happen, we might as well focus on grooming promising British talents, whose loyalty would be with us.
No team is going to pay 8 million for Pique's services, he's done nothing so far to be worth that much. You are talking about the sort of money that is paid for international defenders, Gabriel Milito who has been a star for Zaragoza for 4 years is being sold to Juventus for a fee like that, we paid that much for a Serbia international with good record in two exotic leagues. Pique, so far, has been an utility player most of time for Zaragoza and played in three various positions which doesn't necessarily prove his quality (if you are good for everything, you are good for nothing at all), he isn't even close to Spanish national team and the best we could hope to get for him is about 4 million, I reckon.
why sell a player who will be worth 5 times more his asking price currently in 5 years.
You're assuming he gets to play regularly for the next five years
Evans must be slow like a restricted scooter then. Piqué was looking a bit stodgy and clueless in their last few games I saw, like a sophisticated John O'Shea.
Ever seen them play?
Well he should play quite a bit in the fa and league cups and he'll get a few apps in the prem as sub and he'll start if there's an injury or people are being rested.
