In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Why is his cap perched on his head at a funny angle?
Hes getto.
Nah that's Park
It's the summer
Young can feck off.I hope we stay well clear of that type of overrated winger
You should probably edit that out AFO.
Hes all but signed mate.
Wow! That was hard. How come?
To most, yes. Im pretty sure though someone will call you on it. Happened the other day in another forum iirc.
EDIT : Nice work.
Too late for that I think, unless perhaps we go for Sanchez causing SAF to go all "lol just kiddin, find a new club". Besides, I don't think he'll just be used on the wing.
If this is such a 'done deal' I don't understand why it's still not confirmed. Apart from the papers is saying its done, is there any actual real evidence?
He's been in my fifa team for a week now,links well playing behind rooney
Suppose the fact he's not been linked to any other team, especially liverpool!
Young is on holiday at the moment, the deal will be completed once he returns.
When the feck is he supposed to return, every tabloid says its done and there's no official word form our club. This uncertainty the transfers is so annoying, how much the muppet inside me wait?
Could somebody point me to some source suggesting any official from United have expressedly told we will be signing Young? I don't get why everyone, including the media, are so certain he will sign for us.
Sorry mate your right. It's all fabricated lies..
I've never suggested anything of that sort. As we all know, the transfer market is a strange place. I don't believe anything that isn't official or coming from the player's or his agent's mouth.
Is the lad back for pre-season/training yet?
I think everyone has a couple more weeks off yet, minimum. The season only finished a month ago for most clubs.
Logical, but I have to say the defeaning silence from everyone - player, agent, clubs, papers - about Young does hint that there's nothing to talk about. The media reported the deal done a week or so ago, just waiting for him to come back from holiday to make it official. This player Is moving this summer, he's quite a good player, he's english. If anyone thought there was anything going on rather than a done deal, there would have been something.
Was it not reported he'd had a medical at United prior to going on holiday?
When everyone is saying the same thing - and noone is denying - that is usually a clear indication! As soon as "everyone" agreed that he would sign as soon as he had taken a couple of weeks vacation - the rumours completely died. If it hadn't been the case - new rumours would have surfaced because clearly his agent would have been chasing clubs for his client.
I wish wed get this done and dusted, isnt he supposed to be back from holiday now??
You would think signing for Man Utd would be more important than going on holiday
We don't know what's going on. Maybe we wanted to delay things from some reason, who knows. I seriously doubt he refused to stay an extra day or so in England in order to complete the deal.
The deal is probably done but no point cancelling his holiday when he can complete the deal upon return.
McLeish confirmed the club had given up hope of keeping Young, who he expects to tie up a switch to Old Trafford this week.
"It's not confirmed yet but it does seem likely," said McLeish. "In my humble opinion it will be very difficult [to keep hold of him]."
McLeish has been linked with his former Birnigham keeper Ben Foster following his switch from St Andrews but the Scot said: "It’s unlikely I’ll go back to my old club [to sign players]. But we certainly need a goalkeeper."

I like this! A quality signing who will fit in perfect in our squad.
We need to start pretending he's better/suits us better/will score more/will assist more than Sanchez.

Cheaper option, proven in England, English, won't want to feck off to Spain in a few years.
I don't understand why we're signing him - in the sense that I don't think we need a player of his ilk. But he is a great option to have. We're going to have very good coverage across the attacking positions.

Taller, stronger and will be forever young.
The main reason I see for us signing us to have the possibility of resting Nani, something we did'nt really have last season, if Nani did'nt play we lost a lot of our attacking threat, and he tired before the end of the season, also Young is very direct and fast, something I've felt we lacked sometimes last season.
Same, really. Can see his attributes, but I just think it has the potential to unbalance the squad.
On the plus side, this means it looks like we've a shedload of cash to spend this summer, given that by no means do we need a player like Young.
