In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Sounds like he was named after a car.

A Suzuki, perhaps?
There's a Bob Marley song there.
is this a joke? 28 games in 3 years in J-League?
What gave it away?
He’s only 20
Obligatory YT vid makes some good saves, if £5m true then as number 2 or 3 then looks a good deal
But he is 20...how many games would a 17 year old or 18 year old be expected to have at that age regardless of league/country?
All for this for the name alone.
Well done. He's 20.
The scouts don’t scout anyone- useless bastards do nothing!
The scouts find a young unknown player in Japan- he hasn’t played enough at the top level!
Been a huge fan of his for about 10 years now.
Love that he has hands, and that he puts gloves on them.

Did he play in Eredivisie?
Is Kovar not good enough?
I prefer Toyota.
Have you seen his legs? Man has two of them!
Get the feck out of here
He's going straight back to Sparta, they are playing in Europe next season.
If we get him, it shows our scouts are finally looking at players not already spotted by the CAF or the rest of the football world at large. Well done I say!
If we really want him we need to be swift.
That would be the ideal celerio
After this comment in the Poch thread, you can only blame yourself, mate
This thread title is more creative than our Club transfer targets
And the best thing is that we will have all the gang from the matrix trying to defend him
Only signing him because he played against the Netherlands u21 the other day. Classic Ten Hag.
Isnt he 20 years of age or something?
Yup.
Guys, in Japan you pronounce the surname first so it is Suzuki Zion.
Never heard of him until now.

What a boring name. I guess we can't all be Roy Carrol.
I like bargain "who the hell is that" signings like this. They might hardly ever work out, but it's no risk and potentially a great story. As long as he keeps his Zion the ball he will be fine.
Prefer an isuzu myself
That's it in a nutshell.
Better than Moses Honda
He's obviously going big on that Ederson comparison...
I'd be happy to see the club make a signing like this though. Considering how important having a modern GK who can play out from the back has become, and how expensive they can now be, the club should be looking to identify young GKs like this and bring them in early. Even if he spends a few years on loan, if he ever does become good enough to at least challenge to be #1 then you could well have found your GK for the next 10+ years.
Agreed.
We also have a young 17 year old keeper at youth level (Elyh Harrison) who has excellent ability on the ball for his age.
He's not a real person. People on twitter made him up and used technology to make the photos you're seeing.
An elaborate WUM to see people discussing United signing some made up character

Oh dear, he can throw the ball like prime Schmeichel! That hits a weak spot for me. Please sign him!!
