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.

He’s absolutely finished. Needs to be moved on in the summer, even if we have to buy him out of his contract
We definitely had other issues today but let’s be frank - that was one of the worst centre forward performances I’ve seen in some time. He can’t hold the ball up. He doesn’t run channels. He doesn’t link play. He can’t dribble. He loses any physical dual. He very rarely presses as others move around him. And to top it off he’s now turned into an abysmal finisher so he can’t hide behind goals. I don’t care how old he is. I don’t care what he did 10 years ago. I care about what he can do today - and yet again for about the 15th game on the trot I’ve looked at the opposition striker and thought he’s better than what we have.
Yeah
Last 7 games: 0 goals, 0 assists. He’s been just as bad on the eye test too.
He’s not even the player from the start of the season at the moment, shame.
I know it’s for marketing purposes but when you pay someone 600k per week you would atleast expect world class performances and a huge goal contribution similar to RVP or Haaland
He’s not playing well and he’s not taking chances but don’t really see where else we go. All boils down to that shambles of a January window.
Cavani looks even worse than Ronaldo when he plays and unlike Ronaldo he doesn’t even get chances in a game. So yeah we’re stuck like this for the time being.

What a stupid and avoidable mistake bringing him back has been
Game is too fast for him in this league. Really poor choice to come back.
This is pretty much what I thought when I saw his name in the lineup. You could literally start anyone in his place and it can't be any worse.
Legs have gone, maybe he’d still get goals if surrounded by quality but that’s not happening here for a long time.
He would probably do well in the USA league and also earn loads and boost his profile even more. That should be his destination next.
Age is showing. No one beats time sadly.
That was Falcao levels of bad.
Glazers will see Ronaldo as a success. Brought in to help secure new commercial partnerships. Got 24m a year from the Tezos deal, job done. Absolutely nothing changes at the club until the Glazer family have gone.
He won't go there because of the rape case
As far as United strikers go that must've been one of the worst performances I've ever seen, everything just broke down the moment he got the ball.
Rashford up top, Lingard on the right, play an interchangeable front 3.
I think the team needs Lingards energy and pressing.
I don’t really give a feck where he goes.
It would certainly boost his profile but I don't think he would "do well" given the civil suit against him.
Man is done. Physically he is finished and it's not just strength but more so about balance and sharpness
He had a net negative impact today. The nostalgia and stardom has now fully worn off, and he seemed to have declined even compared to the start of the season. Simply can’t holdup, can’t pass well and now can’t seem to score too. Most defenders can now handle him with such ease.
The coach should consider a change in formation. And try to push Bruno upfront or play him as a false 9. Do something. Both of our strikers seem finished at this level.

He is finished.

I think we already had Cavani who already offered exactly what we will want from Ronaldo. It’s a mixture of sentimentality and marketing opportunism. I don’t think he’s physical or hardworking enough to trouble the better PL defenders. I also don’t think we are creative enough to make pure chances for him over and over. He’s probably going to cancel Bruno out somewhat. We are a scrappy team and I feel like we needed more fighters instead of technical players or world class players on the way down. i hope I’m wrong.
And I got absolutely slated for it. Herd mentality on here.
Apart from the CL goals he’s been a horrible signing.

Rashford ? really? He’s the number one player I’d be looking at dropping from the squad entirely.
Yeah maybe, but your title is even worse now than it was then.
There isnt a defence really. He was weak in all aspects.
Our issue is we dont have a solid ST replacement. Cavani doesnt seem to be much better right now, and the future of our striker option isnt available, nor likely to ever be. Really hamstrung ourselves here
It's over, sad that it's ended this way but the motivation behind bringing him back was always questionable. Personally I think the effort is there in terms of he's trying but his body isn't up to it in the PL and his ego won't let him be a bench player and conserve himself, he's offering nothing in the build up department, isn't mobile enough now and his touch has deserted him, if he's not scoring then we are basically playing with10 men.
At this point i'd play his son uptop.
He would still be an amazing impact sub, but who is going to tell him? 
I’m not going to be stupid enough to join the Finished FC bandwagon, because I’ve listened to Zlatan be slandered with that for about 8 years and keeping proving people wrong.
Right now Ronaldo is in horrific form though and United have completely ballsed up their squad management to not have any sort of good alternative, who wouldn’t just leave a big gap elsewhere.

The body can't do what the mind wants to anymore. Should move on at the end of the season.
longest scoring drought in his career right?
The decision to bring him back was one of the worst we've made since 2013. This season is basically finished for us now but we're writing off next season if we're going into it with him as starting striker.
You were right mate, I've had similar thoughts all season. A stupid last minute signing, which only happened so it stopped City getting him. So fecking pathetic.
He has been poor, but I think we need to move on from Cavani and Ronaldo, if we were out of the CL I would be happy if they didn't start a game for the rest of the season, have to try and build something. Rashford's game is the pits right now but I am not ready to write him off, and the RW is not his role.
It's making me feel positive that not making it for the CL will probably lead to him leaving us this summer.
The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be. Or something
Sad to say he's better off somewhere else and we're better without him here.
