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?!

Instagram strikes again.
If we get Di Maria it should be this.
Rooney or RVP
Januzaj Mata Di Maria
Fletcher Herrera
Shaw Rojo Jones Rafael
De Gea
Playing Rooney or Mata out wide would weaken us more than leaving one of them out.
That front 4 + the fullbacks.
I am moist.
If it was our only deal by the end of the window I'd be okay with it, but not incredibly happy. We still really need a midfielder and MAYBE a CB if Ed sorts it out.
Get a midfielder along with Di Maria and I will be ecstatic.
Damn straight he was. He was a United fan as a boy.
I'll only believe when it's announced officially by the club. For me it's still not happening
We'll have paid too much, bought him too late. A proper club like City would have bought him for half the price a month earlier, etc.
Only winning matches makes people content.
Just wrap it up and get a fecking CM and another CB. Let's fecking sort ourselves out.
It's past the point of no return now. If this doesn't happen I will be a broken man. Di Maria is one of few players I will go full muppet for.
Balague's really gone all in on this one, I mean I guess everyone thinks he's a tit already surely, but he'll lose all credibility if it doesn't go through.
Just get De Jong on loan now with strootman in January and we are all set.
If Thomas fecking Vermaelen did it, we'll make twice the profit!Why? We are still ignoring the gaping fecking hole we have in the middle of the pitch
Flop.
This place was far too positive, it wasn't normal

Not unless he can play center mid for us.
How well can he slot into our 3-5-2 formation?
When we confirmed the signing of Mata, we lost to Sunderland.
History repeating itself??..
History repeating itself??..
Vidal was the one i wanted most and i'd been content with him and that being that for the summer tbh.
Now i think that's over as i don't see us spending 200 million + wage additions in a summer.
At best we'd get a 2nd or 3rd tier midfielder.
Of course it won't. He comes out with this shit all the time. People forget instantly when it doesn't happen - that's why pretty much every football journalist does it with impunity these days.Do I get some sort of prize for starting this thread if a move materialises? Get your thinking cap on mods!
Damn you and your stats man!When we confirmed the signing of Mata, we lost to Sunderland.
History repeating itself??..
We are going 4-4-2 diamond or 4-3-3 if we sign us.
Signing him for a 3-5-2 makes little sense to me.
Di Maria made more assists (17) than any other player in La Liga last season and had the best key pass ratio according to who scored.
Can't get much lower. Didn't he say we paid a down payment on Falcao a couple years back?
Vidal and Blind would finish this summer off nicely (after Di Maria of course) but it feels a tad optimistic.
Don't feck it up for feck sake
And if he wasn't a United fan as a boy, he'll soon be someone who was a United fan as a boy.
While I agree that there's a lot of impunity for transfer stories as a whole nowadays, this seems slightly different in that it's very very affirmative, and not just speculation.
Can we change the thread title please .. Something like Balbag says its ON..
What if Di Maria won't pass the medicals? Balague would still lose his credibility?
Simply no. We need another midfielder even more so if we can sell Fellaini. At the moment we only have Fletcher and Cleverley as true midfielders. None of the two is good enough.
But di Maria coming is still
. He is trully WC player and having Rooney, Van Persie, Welbeck, Januzaj, Di Maria, Mata and Kagawa for the 3-4 spots upfront. It is just incredible. On the second thought we can sell Kagawa now or try him to play in midfield.
I have a boner
After Vidal I stay on the pessimistic side, but man that would be a great signing
Smashed the club record.
No. We still need Vidal or Strootman and either Hummel or Benatia ( would like both CB's but that's asking for too much
When we confirmed the signing of Mata, we lost to Sunderland.
History repeating itself??..
Aye, nasty day, that. Remember the jokes all over Facebook etc afterwards?
Bloody Sunderland, hope we thrash them
Not to say it isn't impressive but I'm not a fan of those stats that much, and it is a hell of a lot easier to create assists when you have Ronaldo banging them in for you from even silly distances which most others probably wouldn't even try. But he's still a class player we could desperately use
