In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Wing's
Confirmed
Find it slightly disturbing that a group of stalkers are following the insta movements of a 30 year old man’s mother.
If this happens, this is actually a great signing. Surely you folks are happy about this?
I believe this is a great signing. Panicked but still great. Can't believe we've got him or he's coming here. Understand people being like "there must be something wrong with him for coming to this toxic club" but a coup is a coup. Transfer fee is a bit too expensive, wages are a bit too high. But he's miles, miles better than what we have in that position. He's a generational defensive midfielder arriving at a club with a set of defensive midfielders that are more suited to a lower mid-table team. The fact he plays with Fred for Brazil is a win also in terms of settling down quickly. The first bit of optimism this summer.
Because ETH is going to sell playing with Casemiro rather than the McTominator as a selling point to FDJ.
At least that’s what my inner muppet says.
Eriksen? Definitely, he did it pretty well for Brentford last season. Got bags of technical ability, smart player and with Casemiro doing the dirty work it will free him up.
He can shoot. Didnt he score against us in the Super Cup?
This is bonkers. Who predicted this even yesterday?
Yeah, let’s stick with McFred instead…fvcking pathetic post
My poor cock is a bit gun shy due to the FDJ debacle.
Suits Madrid, he wants a new challenge and gets a long contract on lots of money.
Everybody happy. (until he plays for us
)I really want to moan about this signing but I can’t. It’s not really a panic buy but more of a ‘where the feck did that come from’ buy.
This doesn't feel real. We'll be so much more solid in the middle and he brings a winning mentality to the squad. Replacing McTominay with this guy is surely one of the biggest upgrades in football history. Great signing!
People complaining about fecking Casemiro of all players because he’s 30 are being utterly ridiculous
We’re signing the best DM in modern football who has plenty of years in him in a position we desperately needed. Get a grip.

Can’t wait for the Flightaware info tomorrow.
Sky Sports now breaking United close to agreement for fee of £50.7m
No more Mctominay :')
He’s literally won everything. His experience alone should be worth most of it. I’d rather pay him £375,000 p/w than Ronaldo £500,000 p/w.
Do you remember that thread: predict your starting 11 post transfer window.
I bet you nobody had Casemiro in

Unbelievable. What a day! And just one day before Frenkie Friday too!
Thanks. So in short would you say he’s good enough that we could play him in a two with someone like Bruno or Eriksen?
U ok, hon?
get 1 more CM in and get both parts of McFred as far away from the club as possible and we might make real progress
Next one

This is the thing I'm most excited about. He will be the first one out of the team if we make any midfield additions. Can't take anymore of those yellow card because he can't control a ball.
From what I’ve read Ten Hag likes to have a connector from the midfield to the forwards.. I can see him doing this pretty well. He’s at his best when he plays further forward too.
That probably confirms we're not getting de Jong and will try for some other player as we'll still have some money after paying for Casemiro.
Don’t overthink it, unlike some of OUR fans , some still have huge respect for the club and want to join and take us back to the top.
Bloody hell, this moved quickly.
Exactly, Makelele was 30 when he came to Chelsea in 2003. And he ended up having the role named after him. Makelele had come to Chelsea for a "pay day" (Abramovich money) and had won a CL already too.
Where are all the king Muppets from the De Jong thread? Can Muppets only focus on 1 transfer at a time?
Yes please!
McT will be completely out of picture if we get these two in.Yes.
My only concern with signing Casemiro is that I hope it doesn’t make us complacent and not realize we still need to buy a play-dictating CM. Casemiro on his own is not enough to solve our midfield problems.
Manchester weather
In theory, yes, but I think neither can fully do what Modric does. Many don’t realize how insanely good Modric is at all sorts of passing, and at progressing the ball.
He might not be enough on his own, but he’ll help us immensely.
Maybe Casemiro can guide Fred, like with the NT. I would not write him off completely yet, as he can be a bit more attacking now and not play the holding role.
