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.
The twat recording has potentially harmed our transfer window. What a cretin.
Is city involved in de Jong deal? I mean barca want bernardo and city will probably charge whatever utd pays to barca for fdj deal. If money is not the problem, then I can see why utd are reluctant to meet barca's demand simply because it will ultimately go to city's pocket.
The idea that our fans were planning to protest near the guys house when he has barely been in the job a few months is too idiotic to believe, fecking bellends.
Decent bloke at first glance. At least tried to answer majority of questions.
Relax. Secretly recording him was a twat move but no club can use this clip as any sort of evidence that we actually have 200mil to spend. I'd even go ahead to say it's BS. We have never spent 200mil in s single window and we won't start now. It's going to be 150mil tops and another 50mil in the winter at best.
In an organized forum, or impromptu like this? I couldn't picture the latter, because in addition to incompetent, he's also incredibly smug and arrogant.
Well that's no good for negotiations at all. Has this twat recording him fecked our negotiations?
He did impromptu and didnt get himself recorded
Liverpool fans literally showed us how to protest and force your shitbag owners out. Our fans are taking every wrongheaded approach but that.
Im sure it has not helped, but why is the clubs CEO telling fans the budget during the transfer window or giving details on active negotiations. H’ed be fired at any top firm for this
I don't think he did from what I heard, these 'fans' don't have two brain cells to rub together. He was speaking about the costs involved to build a 'best of the best' training facility.
They admitted they are damaging the club, to get rid of the sponsors, in order to get rid of the Glazers, who are damaging the club...
This is really cool but did he give them permission to record him?
He really says all the right things , I'm intrigued to see if he turns it all around or not.

It won’t help. That’s for sure.
For all he seems to come across as an okay guy, this video worries me. A serious CEO wouldn’t be trading commercially sensitive information in an environment like this. It makes me worry he’s got the same personality flaw that Woodward had, the need to grandstand even when it has the potential to harm you.
Just proves that them and the 1958 group are complete muppets.
Club would be better off without them trying to saboutage United.
Well that didn’t happen.
Know where to go if you need a free drink at least
You are definitely one of those Priti Patel fans and probably especially love her great anti-protesting law.
I hope he doesn't get fired for this 
He’s not naive to not expect any of this to get out.
Why. He deserves its for the sheer incompetenceI hope he doesn't get fired for this
Difference between that and the whole thing being recorded
I don't believe he said that for a second, especially when this guy goes on to say if new owners came in Arnold knows he'd be gone. It's not exactly in his best interests to encourage more protests.
No way he would have confirmed this
Huh? What are you on about?
He's barely been here for few months, how exactly is he incompetent? Unless you're referring to the fact he talked so candidly to fans in a pub
Fair play to Arnold.
Fair play to him, he didn't need to speak to these cretins as he doesn't owe them an explanation. Most would have rightly called the Police.
What exactly are they expecting a 'protest' at his house to do? This is all about transfers mid June, no doubt riled up by twitter and fan channels which is pretty pathetic.
Don’t really see it tbh. Quotes are quotes.
All the off-field transfer/contract related things that people blame Ole for were actually the responsibility of Woodward and Judge.
There are plenty of other things that Solskjaer got wrong on the pitch without resorting to lying about his involvement in the financial side of things.
The real issue was the toxic environment that the former CEO created by rewarding everyone inflated wages for under-par performances, and packing the dressing room with players who didn't want to be there or put in the effort.
There's a reason why LvG hate Woodward and even names him as the problem. There's also a reason why Mourinho said finishing 2nd was his greatest ever achievement because of what was going on behind the scenes.
You don't see the difference between talking about what he said to other people, and filming the entire thing and putting it online?
Bang on, was going to say this as well. I hate how PR heavy the club are but we get an exec being open and frank with supporters in a casual conversation and it's paid back by secretly filming him and potentially getting him in a lot of shit?
As far as I can tell a bunch of "supporters" were going to protest outside the house of someone who is just in the front door, he comes to them and has an honest chat with them, and then they film and release the footage because what he says can be seen as negative towards the Glazers? Bunch of high horse cnuts to be honest.
No, because if you post what he said, which he knew would happen, with a picture to prove he was actually there for example. It’s the same thing.
I guarantee he’s not that bothered, it’s actually done him and the club a favour anyway because he’s come across well.
I’m disgusted by the fact it was recorded tbh.
Yes and talked about on going active negotiations and budget for the summer with numbers. Thats a sackable offence at any major multi national firm
Fair play to him for having the balls to go and speak to them
Shame on them for secretly filming him, will probably put him off talking to the fans again

Genuinely
How on earth is it the same thing re-telling what he said, with your own words, and filming him and putting it online
Jesus
What are people going on about - he didn’t confirm anything - he just said things hypothetically - he is talking at the level of the audience in front of him.
Comes across well, wants things to be better, he is not involved with player signings and backs the management that is.
Big non story - he has given away nothing - as if he was going to say we only have £85m to spend this window - ffs - some people.
Already much prefer him to arrogant Woody.
