In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.

I agree with Neville here. Now isn’t the time to throw your hands up, it’ll never be a solution.
He was siuuu bad today.
this. The whole vibe is different since he has come back, he brings a lot of pressure. He isn’t the guy who will put his arm around the youth, he wants wins and he wants records. He isn’t sentimental
Hopefully he goes sooner rather than later.
Lots of people coming hard on Ronaldo but I thought service to him was poor today.
He is the problem for the drop in attacking play, less harmony in the dressing room and togetherness. It is so obvious to see.
With his less physicality and our midfield issues problems + the slow,aging less technical defence the team will crumble everytime. What Ole survived on all those time since his appointment was our attacking play Bruno, Mason, Cavani were all banging goals now its shocking going forward why?
Because the great master is around

Absolutely nothing wrong with him. Service and peers are abysmal.
In a different timeline maybe he might've won us some trophies, but his on field demeanour is really bad, he doesn't look happy here and it's visibly seemed like there's an uncomfortable tension all season. He expects the best which we obviously aren't anywhere near. A failed experiment who I suspect will ask to leave in summer.
Good. We need winners not babysitters.
winners yes but disruptive no.
I disagree that he was terrible. Always makes good runs in the box but doesn’t get the service. Bruno over hit that pass in the first half which would have had him 1 on 1 with the keeper. Rashford, Greenwood and Sancho were worse.
also worked hard off the ball.

His general play has been terrible this season, despite his goals. We're playing with 10 men with him on the pitch as he doesn't contribute at all, and often loses the ball.
Need to part ways with him. He’s changed everything in our play, even when we’re on a counter attack Bruno lumps the ball 59 yards up the field to him instead of literally running through the middle of the pitch in open space.
he can’t pass, he can’t dribble, he can barely trap a ball, it’s honestly sad.

The club needs to get real and end the sentimentality, we are not going to win the league again with him in the team so what's the point, move him on in the summer.
Should have had 2 red cards this season, very lucky to get away with it. Pretty annoying that the most senior players cannot bring calmness and composure to the team, instead he constantly act childish and looks annoyed with his teammates
When he does get the ball, I expect very little (have done for a few seasons now). I see him solely as a poacher but it means the set up of the team has to be right. How many shots did he have today?
One of the worst players on the pitch tonight. Completely useless (and detrimental to team play) when he's not scoring.
It's been like this all season, we need to get rid for the team to progress.
I think there needs to be more accountability and he should be subbed or benched for matches when he's performing like this. Especially when Cavani is fit, who I think is much better for the way we want to play.
Starting to wonder if he has a clause in his contract guaranteeing minutes. How badly does he need to play to get the hook?!?
Seems like internal political pressure at the club. I remember when Rooney and Sanchez got the same treatment after they both sharply declined. I think Rangknick's hands are tied but I hope not
Even if you ignore the performances, think about his age! Give his aged limbs a rest ffs. He could be a great impact player off the bench. Bizarre he’s not yet been used that way.
It’s worrying what this signing seems to be doing in terms of morale amongst the players. Ronaldo’s obviously a legend and I was ecstatic when we signed him but it seems that everything is set up to get the best out of him at the detriment of everyone else.
I don't see how anyone could use Ronaldo as an impact player off the bench unless it's very occasional. I just don't think Ronaldo is ready to admit that it could be his role and it create a lot of turmoil.
The funny thing is Carrick seemed more open to dropping him, he had nothing to lose though.
He would be a good goal scorer in a functional team. We are too disfunctional as a team to use him properly. At this stage of his career he's not a game changer, but more a game solver.
Watched the game and all i can say, that it's pretty damn desperate how Utd looks at the moment. The passes, the touches and how static the whole team looks is incredible. All players afraid to play the ball into the pockets and instead, just backpass or giving it out on wide, where it goes back to middle and then trying to throw the ball into the box. It must be a fitness issue or maybe you got too many not caring youngsters on team. Man, even Rashford shows zero emotion on the pitch. Same with Greenwood. The hell is that?
As far it comes to Ronaldo, atleast he tries to be free all the time so he can receive the ball. Not saying what he does is ideal, but it's sad to see how he's master at finding the space, but no one seems to find him or the passes are just simply terrible.

In just over a month he’ll be 37 years old. He might not be ready to admit it but tough shit! Time waits for no man!
Genuinely, how on any planet is that a red card?
Telles trying Maradona turn running from the back was fecking ridiculous.
the worrying thing for me is he’s mistiming shots, making stupid tackles and doing silly flicks that keep losing the ball.
It’s no wonder we can’t create chances when we keep trying to play through the middle to him.

I'd definitely play Cavani ahead of Ronaldo. And I think we're using him the wrong way, he is no good in the build up play.
Carrick had the balls to drop him. Ralf needs to follow suit sharpish. Like Neville said - taking Greenwood off was the easy option.
I don’t think Ronaldo being on the pitch makes Bruno overhit a pass or Varane being sloppy in possession. He has been bad for the last couple of games and his touch is looking horrible at the moment. He will be part of the solution this season once Rangnick figured out an eleven that could work cohesively. For me the next team to try would be:
——————De Gea
AWB - Bailly - Varane - Shaw
———————Fred
————-VDB - Pogba
Sancho - Ronaldo - Cavani
Bruno needs to reshuffle his ideas and come back into the team. The local kids attitude is not what you expect it to be. Greenwood has been abysmal since Ronaldo’s arrival and that’s down to him. Rashford is low on confidence and needs to work his way back into the team. Amad on the bench instead of Elanga and actually using him.
Edit: Ronaldo losing his composure and lashing out on opposition players should be addressed immediately.

I totally agree. Rangknick called Ronaldo 'too old' and too expensive back in 2016 when a journalist cheekily asked if he'd sign him for RB Liepzig. He said it in jest but he's always preferred to work with younger players. This Ronaldo conundrum is a unique situation for him to deal with. For someone who supposedly hasn't ever signed anyone over 24 I can't see how he sees fit to play Ronaldo for 90 minutes every game

His movement isn't great so when he gets tightly marked he struggles to make an impact. It kinda helped though when Cavani came on because it freed up space.

It’s quite obvious that defenders will, by default, mark Ronaldo and an experienced striker like Cavani can capitalize on that more than Rashford and Greenwood. There are ways to solve the team’s issues, it’s yet to be seen if Rangnick is up for the task.
