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.
It was premature to sell him and nothing I've seen from Mazraoui so far suggests that he's an upgrade.
When was your last visit to specsavers?
Some players are not built for high pressure clubs, he's one of those players, no shame in that - I think Ben Foster said it himself, he was a really good keeper, but under huge scrutiny and pressure on his every move, ability just disappears and it snowballs in the wrong direction.
Some people thrive, some people drown, it is what it is, at least he wasn't a cnut like Sancho.

Premature how? He's been average for 4 seasons.
Mazaroui has been very good the first games too, he is an upgrade.
You'd have just waited another bit so he could go for free?
Really? Mazraoui has been superb. He was great in his debut.
Will forever be part of that start 11 that seemed to play every single game and got us through lockdown.
Anyone know the 11 I’m thinking of?

Quick search of your post history shows you've made multiple semi-recent posts about how AWB wasn't good enough for United, you even selected him in the "worst expensive buys XI in PL history" thread. One semi-decent performance from him after he left and now it was suddenly "premature" to sell him. Going back 3 years you were saying he needed to leave
. Classic Caf knee-jerk reaction.I honestly think you'd complain if we signed prime Messi for 10 quid.
It was premature to sell him when he had one year left on his contract? Did you want to sell him for free next season?
Hope you’re doing ok since this post

This 11 I will always associate with Covid and lockdown, in my memory this 11 played almost every week during the early part of Covid. I’d be interested to see what 11 actually did play most during this period and all of lockdown in general
You just know our left wing is going to have a torrid time against the hammers moving forward
I could imagine AWB putting 22/23 Rashford in his pocket, let alone now. Same for Garnacho.
To be honest I couldn't remember the midfield two!
Seriously?! I mean, I’m a fan of AWB myself and I’ve seen some bad takes on here but this is right up there. Wow.
Poor Mage. He's gonna need one to make that comment disappear.
Welcome to the CAF
Quality signing for West Ham. His debut was good... made a huge impact.
Chelsea with free reign down his wing. Positionally all over the place.
His limitations on display
He's always been awful. Good defenders shouldn't base their game around being good at tackling.
WH fans have to endure this until... 2031 
Wish we had kept him and all that jazz

Why were they playing him as an attacking wingback? I thought he was best as a defensive fullback
That's how Lopetegui typically uses his fullbacks, and is what made AWB seem a slightly odd fit.
Yeah I'm wondering whether this is part of the problem as well as him being just plain awful today. He looked zombie like at times and completely unable to react to any danger and I'm speaking as somebody who wanted him to stay as a fullback option in our squad.
Truly awful today.
They've got an awful manager to be fair, why they wanted him after his wolves shhitshow is beyond me.
