In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

Cameo so nothing really to judge him on. He's not that fast though, and pretty weak.
What strikes me is that the same people who are clamouring so fervently for him to get more minutes, will be the same people who will turn on him when he has a run of bad form....which all young players do.
I'm excited for his development, and think he has a manager who will manage him in just the right way to ensure his long term integration into the starting XI.
I just wish all the noise and indignation around his minutes would go away. It's not helping anyone.

Yep, his movement is class.
And he seems to have overall good football intelligence
To be fair, it is literally making no difference to his career and asking people not to get excited or disheartened every time they see an apparent wonderkid who their club paid millions for is a bit unlikely.
He is actually very fast. Wasn't tonight, but he has brilliant acceleration. Watch his Under 23 games
You can see quite clearly he’s got something about him. He needs more minutes next season though, players don’t just progress in a vacuum sitting on the bench.
physically he’s got a long way to go. He’s going to keep getting fouled and probably hurt until he fills out so it’s understandable why he’s been held back. He looks a real talent to be getting excited about for next season though. He’s got high technical ability and his movement looks really solid in the little I’ve seen of him. Once he gets a bit stronger he’ll be in the thick of it.
I did, all 2 of them. "brilliant acceleration" is quite an overreaction!
Overreaction? He is clearly a pacy player!
His point may be that that wasn't obvious tonight. Which it wasn't.
I got the sticks when I said he doesn’t have explosive pace months ago here. He doesn’t seem physically ready for adult games. But, it’s way to early to judge anything from this game. I hope he can get more minutes on the left or right side for the rest of season. I feel he needs game time to develop into the team.
This guy is the real deal. What a cameo. You'd be mad if you weren't impressed with him. Awareness, touch, vision. Oozes quality and a good football brain.
He’s pretty fast. The ball got stuck under his feet and then he was fouled twice so I wouldn’t judge it on that moment. Still a lot more development needed physically but he’s technically great and very intelligent. The idea we shouldn’t sign sancho because he’ll be ready to start next year is silly though.
By what standards? Is he on the same level as Rashford or James or Martial when he's accelerating?
There's a big-time player in there for sure. Just have to give him enough time.
I'm getting the sticks now - people overcooking it with "brilliant acceleration" to describe his skillset, which I didn't see from his Atalanta highlights or U23s. He obviously excels in many elements but I don't see him as a particularly rapid player or a player with "brilliant" acceleration in relative terms.
Probably is.
Should be ahead of James already in the pecking order.
Kid's got talent, should've gotten a chance at goal. Almost made a backheel to VdB in the box. Needs to develop physically to combine with his technical skills.
Exactly what I thought, but when I saw the replay, he was fouled twice, especially the last one that brought him down, it looked like he was outmuscled but he was clearly fouled and brought down.
Anyway, not much done in 10 mins cameo, and I don't mind Ole easing him slowly, he still needs more time to get used to playing with the first team
James has regressed again over last few weeks. Don’t know what’s wrong with him.
Comman and Sane are similar build, and half faster than Amad. Or maybe it's because they make more space for themselves with little faints, I don't know.
He doesn't need to bulk up, he needs to learn how to use his body against physical contact and to improve balance. His point of gravity is very low, just needs to make better use of it.

?? Sane's 6 foot and Coman's 5'11".
The referees over two legs are really poor. It’s laughable he gave pogba a yellow card for the reality their no.6 run to his arm by self. Dialo at least should earn a free kick and the referee should send out the opponent player faulting him by a red card.
He might be - I haven't seen anything to conclude this though, we probably need to see him more to know either way.
Right. Amad is actually quite short. Needs to watch a lot of Messi clips.
You don’t need. He is not. Just compare with Rashford, Raphinha and Neto. Those are the players very pacy.
I think we all understand that Dialo doesn’t need to be a very pacy player to be useful for us. But some here definitely overestimate his pace.
yeah it looks it.
Maybe he's just not ready yet, I don't see Ole being the type of manager to hold a talented player back if he's the real deal. He had no hesitation throwing Greenwood in the starting XI. Only thing is, he should be playing U23 games if he's not ready rather than no football.

Showed great movement and pace. How he isn’t getting more minutes is bewildering considering the alternatives
This is very true! A totally different team trait as compared with Jose era.We were a short team after James, Mata and Amad sub in with Fred stand in the field
Was he called up to the 1st team to quickly do we think then.
A midfield three of poga matic and fellaini? McTominay as a sub. Tallest midfield in PL history? Lukaku and Ibra as strikers and Rashford on the wing. All well above 6ft. Can’t recall his rw. Mata? Ruins everything!This is very true! A totally different team trait as compared with Jose era.
Would have got his second United goal if not for a deliberate foul, it was interesting that he played as a striker.
Just gave everyone a thought at that time, “it probably is the newest trend to build a tall team?”.
this season I watched a few seagulls’ games, they have a very tall player, Burn, deployed as winger in some games. I think he must be 205cm or taller.
Should have been a foul for sure but he did himself no favours with his first touch, he should have been away but lost control and invited the Granada player to make a last-ditch challenge.
True! Looks really weird with him on the wing. Not a terrible player though.
