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?!

Isn't that the feeling with all of our big transfer targets these days?
Nobody else think he'll sign a new deal at Madrid? I get the feeling this is posturing from both parties.
When you think about it, it'd be a pretty unheard of move for Di Maria to make. He's wanted by Madrid but he's going to force his way out to play for us, with all our problems? I don't think so.

I lost my car keys and my day is depressing. So I need some good news. Is this on lads?
This is happening, really gets the muppet juices flowing.
We have Burnley next weekend.
Even if we are in for him, Woody will delay it and take it to deadline day. argh..

He is wanted by Madrid, they've offered him a new deal. He'd still be first choice if he stays, which is what Ancelotti wants.
They're just using Marca as their mouthpiece to try and call his bluff. He'll sign a new deal.
He wont.
Let's hope they kissed and made up.
Ronaldo can be a bit of a tool now a days... did you see where he went all stroppy cause Kroos turned him aswell? And his whole attitude at the World Cup for Portugal wasn't captain like at all. Just kept whinging at his teammates all the time.
It just looks like Di Maria tackled him here
No he wont be first choice.
But but.. He's not fit..Ronaldo can be a bit of a tool now a days... did you see where he went all stroppy cause Kroos turned him aswell? And his whole attitude at the World Cup for Portugal wasn't captain like at all. Just kept whinging at his teammates all the time.

I think he will. What other options has he got? He's not going to give up playing for Madrid and take a gamble on us. The only way out is if Chelsea, Arsenal or someone like PSG comes in for him.
Why wouldn't he?
They will have 2 holding mids and a front 4 of James, Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema (Falcao). They didn't sign James and Kroos to bench them,
Cause they bought James and Kroos obviously.
Because they just signed James. Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale and James are all currently starters and once Madrid sells Di Maria they are likely to then buy Falcao.
Doesn't matter. They bought Isco and he had to be rotated in and out. The money they spent means nothing to Madrid, if Di Maria is really one of their best players then they will play him. Ancelotti isn't daft.
I'm doing it!
When it comes to certain football matters perez is.
Any day now I expect a Jamie Jackson article stating that United were never in for Di Maria.
It's not Ancelotti's decision, it's Perez and he wants to sell Di Maria.
Why offer him a new deal then?
Ancelotti will play him but he wont be a starter, Perez got himself a brand new toys in James and Kroos and he didnt buy them so Ancelotti would keep them on the bench.
And that deal was rejected. Since then neither side has been willing to negotiate terms with the other.
Kroos isn't a toy, he is an ancelotti signing and a good signing imo. James is this years "galactico" signing who was unnecessary but hopefully could turn out well like bale did.
This is Madrid we're talking about. Illaramendi, Isco etc were signed up before sitting on the bench.
Because they know what Di Maria is asking for, hence why we're going through all this bluffing in the media to see who blinks first.
Neither were marquee signings like James
I didnt say he's not a big signing, he's just the next big think Real wanted and Real bought just for the sake of it.
They're happy with sitting on the bench, Di Maria isn't.
They were signings that ancelotti gave the go-ahead on. Bale was the signing made by perez last summer that was non-negotiable.
Who the feck is Januzaj when you have Di maria?
So Ancelotti does have some say then. I fully expect to see Di Maria playing for Madrid next season, as Ancelotti seems to want.
I doubt it when he's only getting offered half the amount he wants.
18 pages in 24 hours. Why do you do this to yourselves
What I mean was that kroos was a signing made that ancelotti wanted and one who he felt would improve the team so I would not consider him to be a "galactico" signing or a new toy. James would be the player who was signed this summer as a "galactico" to sell shirts, raise madrids profile etc and that perez wanted, but not necessarily wanted by ancelotti or considered to be needed to improve the team.
Are Marca reliable? I remember them photoshopping the stadium picture after the Real friendly...
that was so blatant! I think they're hit and miss, just like AS.Galactico or no galactico signings Di Maria wants out it seems and who can blame him.
Can't see us sticking with a 3-5-2 if we sign Di Maria, I think we'd move to a 4-3-3.
Its possible of course. But Ancelotti did confirm that Di Maria wants to leave.
