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.

He would be an outlier.
I take their physio department as well thank you.
That's the Caf in a nutshell. Love their moans and their silver bullet solution.
Completely agree with this.
Bruno has been the weakest link in our play for a long time now. So many attacks end with his misplaced pass. Or if he does complete a pass, it’s his usual 5 yard pass back to Maguire having never thought about turning around and trying to move play forwards.
I think this is a fantastic signing and instantly improves us and will allow Fred to show his real contribution and ability.
That’s what he was looking for for sure. However he’s seen the team shit the bed in the past two games and probably thinks they need to be a bit more solid. Casemiro brings that in abundance but he is very different to what he’s looked at previously.
I do wonder if he’s considering playing with a 6 and two 8’s which means we probably need to add another along with Casemiro
If he has his medical today can he be involved against Liverpool. What’s the registration time?
Unlikely, will need a visa and that takes several days even for a high profile sports star such as this.
So I missed the news of the night, we're really signing him?
Only gripe with that would be the question why so late in the window but my lord, what a signing. Going from no DM to the best in the world is certainly a good start

So according to reports the initial fee is £51M plus £8.5M add-ons.. total is £59.5M.
It's big money indeed but it's not prohibitive really, he is worth that much and can easily perform for 4-5 years. He is literally the first DM we signed since Carrick left.
Also he won't be on a much bigger wages, he is already one of the top earners at Real Madrid so United made him a good offer with a slight increase and included a significant performance related incentives, as per what's reported in the Athletic.
Overall I'm happy to see a player of Casemiro's calibre join United, and I hope we add more quality players into this squad

Yes we are. And I agree, this is a fantastic signing.
That would be epic, but even if our executives move their asses quicker than they ever have, Casemiro still needs a work visa which will take some time, no?
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Check for his flight first.
He has Spanish citizenship so could that help?
Debut against Southampton next weekend then. We might see him in the stands on Monday.
His sight alone should be enough to set fear in the hearts of scouse bastards.
I just hope this is not another very expensive purchase of an older player past it who has a long running contract. In tht sense, I am sceptical
There is no other way of looking at it other than an expensive purchase but at least he isn’t injury prone (knock on wood) or deteriorating rapidly as a player. And sure money helps to bring him here but he is also someone we need.
Casemiro-Fred does not seem to be an ideal Ten Hag midfield though. Lets wait and see.
Eriksen - Casemiro is.
Of course. And he is great signing. He will transform our midfield. But it would be wise to complete midfield this year and sign him a partner (unless ETH sees Fred or Eriksen as his partners in midfield).
Of course that means that we need to sell McT (or Donny) which, lets be realistic, will never happen this summer.
Not too convinced of Eriksen in the deeper role. Dont think he deals well with the press and physicality, think he should play instead of Bruno as our #10.
Think he’ll set us up like city… one holding which will obviously be Casemiro with eriksen and Bruno/VDB either side with license to roam and create further forward.
Don't see why VDB will be preferred to Fred who has been a starter for us for years and not someone deemed bad enough to be loaned to Everton.
Wow so this is really happening?
Would assume and hope we'll line up with Casemiro (McT), Fred (VDB) and Eriksen (Bruno) in midfield. Bruno also playing either as a 10 in a diamond or on the wings. Once (not if 
) FDJ comes in, he'll replace Fred
) FDJ comes in, he'll replace FredAs far as I understand, it will almost guarantee a work permit, but not sure it will speed the issuance of one as well.
Imagine Casemiro, Varane and Ronaldo who all have multiple champions league titles playing under Maguire 
Hope ten Hag changes the captain of the club.
Hope ten Hag changes the captain of the club.Well for 60 fecking million for a 30 year old DM, I’d hope so.
FDJ is going to Chelsea, if he even leaves Barca, at all. We are not getting him any time soon, if ever.Would assume and hope we'll line up with Casemiro (McT), Fred (VDB) and Eriksen (Bruno) in midfield. Bruno also playing either as a 10 in a diamond or on the wings. Once (not if
Okay, thanks
I hope Ronaldo leaves.Imagine Casemiro, Varane and Ronaldo who all have multiple champions league titles playing under Maguire
I really like EtH and want him to be successful, but honestly keeping Maguire as a captain was a major feck-up. Don't care if he was pressured by somebody to do it or why he did it - it was a huge mistake and a sign of the troubles to come.Imagine Casemiro, Varane and Ronaldo who all have multiple champions league titles playing under Maguire
The choice of captain doesn't matter even the tiniest bit
It's just funny after spending all summer in the Frenkie thread I went on the piss yesterday and this seems to have gotten she while my back was turned.
It does feel a little haphazard. But maybe we are fluking our way to a very sensible transfer. Because of where we are as a football club, I don’t think we can get a better midfielder than Casemiro. If he was indeed available, he should have been in our squad weeks ago.
Why wouldn’t they? Maybe they could be professional.Imagine Casemiro, Varane and Ronaldo who all have multiple champions league titles playing under Maguire
Sorry I forgot Ronaldo was one you named, he doesn’t do professional.
I don't think Eriksen is the right man for the job in midfield, but first of all, I think he should be playing close to the opposition box right? That's where he's most useful.
This will be an excellent signing for us
Imagine Casemiro, Varane and Ronaldo who all have multiple champions league titles playing under Maguire
Were going to make them play in the EL
Thats the brazil starting combo isn't it? But who do we need around them is the other question.
