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.

Its insane.
No chance Ronaldo is not starting against City imo.
Seen this before. Mental. Would love to see some other players try it
Doesn't Ronny's contract expire at the end of next season? So he and his agent potentially can talk to other clubs in 12-months time to sign as a free agent in the summer of 2023.
We don't want the media speculation all next season about him going to the MLS etc at the end of the season etc it'll be distracting. I think we should definitely nip that in the bud and put him on a 2-3 year contract in the summer at the end of this season. He's proven himself that he can easily play until his 40s. If bloody Ryan Giggs and Teddy Sheringham can play into their 40s at the highest level than so can Ronny who's a physical freak!
i just hope Ronny can win a trophy with us on his return while he's here. Any trophy.. even the FA Cup!
United beat Manchester City last season without Ronaldo playing Marcus Rashford upfront so you'd think we'd have a good chance of beating Manchester City this season WITH Ronaldo who's better than Rashford in every aspect.
Otherwise questions will start to be asked why we can't beat any of the Top 4 Big Boys teams this season WITH Ronaldo in the team even getting a flukey jammy win like Crystal Palace did? Especially after losing 0-5 at home to Liverpool. We need to make it competitive and a tight game.. if Crystal Palance can do it against Manchester City so should United with the players United have. It's not asking a lot to be competitive in these games and don't lose 5-0..

I think we have an option for a third anyway.
Ronaldo hasn't had a career-defining moment yet in the Manchester Derby has he? Not like Rooney's overhead kick goal or dare I say it Michael Owens last-minute winner goal.. moments that get played over again and again Worldwide..
He needs atleast one in his career against Manchester City before he retires.
commeth the hour commeth the man. Manchester awaits..

Our defence is just wierd this year. Yes Maguire was a little bad at the beginning of last year before he started playing well.
But this year Shaw and Maguire been really under par. We also have injuries in our defence thats not very good before the match.
Results and products after hours upon hours of practice and repetitions, like what he is known for especially when he was younger. Those clutch moments didn't come accidently. Still, pretty impressive.
No wonder he could score that beautiful volley vs Spur with defender blocking him. He just knows, without needing to watch the ball coming.
To be fair we rarely if at all played the lot in his first spell over here so can't really blame him can ya
Well, City won their title three years after Ronaldo left, they were pratically a non-entity at those times.
Man Utd 0:2 Man City
If I was Ronaldo I'd announce my retirement after the game.
Then, announce my comeback in January and sign for City.

Had a couple of good chances, and, as usual, was the only only who looked to give even a single feck. Not his fault he’s playing amongst absolute frauds.
Yes he play the way he wanted. He will keep scoring, But If you expect he win you the league or trophy with his no pressing only on attacking duty, not play as a team, bigger than coach, good luck to you.
I agree with you. He's been playing for 20 years and has yet to win any important trophies whatsoever. Unless he truly changes, he'll always be a "what if".
I wonder if he regrets not joining City in the summer.
This is EPL, are you expecting/depending a 36 years old striker to win you a league ?! Heavily depending on him and let him play whatever he wanted? Can't be subbed ? Show his face !
Would have been on 15 goals already by now.
The poor bastard.
Looks completely at loss to what’s going on around him.
I do like that kick he got in on DeBruyne at the end.

He made a terrible decision from his perspective to come back.
Not much to work with today, can say the same for the other attackers as well.
Today the problems were definitely collective, can't really single out anyone imo.

Still not a centre forward.
If city had him he would have had a hat trick today
Every player gets a shouting at in the performance thread except Ronaldo - simply because he scores the goals.
Today he didn't score the goals and when he didn't do that - his rest of gameplay isnt good enough either.
He scores the goals but we are weaker as a team because we are very reliant on one player to get the goals much more than ever.
The way that Ronaldo needs to receive the ball to score a goal is different to how Rashford, Greenwood or even Sancho or Martial needs to score a goal.
Whipping crosses, wonderful volleys with his eyes closed - only really Ronaldo can do it; can Rashford,Greenwood or Sancho score Ronaldo's goal vs Tottenham? I don't think so - not as regularly as The GOAT can do it. We have changed the way we play so that Ronaldo is our main goalscorer to the point he is our only goalscorer.
I still believe it, its like playing a jeep upfront with a bunch of cars but ultimately that's the average managers management.
Everyone on the pitch was poor today except De Gea.
I love his goals and his last minute one's.
Let's see if we find a manager who can balance Ronaldo in the middle with Rashford, Greenwood and Sancho because that sounds easier said on paper than it does in reality.
Ps look at the Messi Vs Ronaldo thread to see how much I love the guy, I still belive tactically it can be a problem.

Fair game. We both know how tactically the team should play with him on the pitch to play his strengths and diminish his weaknesses - we both wanted him and Cavani on in a 4-4-2 and when it happened he had his best game so far.
I actually see a bit of potential with this team (unlike Juventus), but I don't think anything will ever improve with Ole.
Imagine if Ole is still there in Jan and he decides to leave
He isn't a player for a top team now, City dodged a bullet.
Ronaldo, forgive them, for they do not know what they are saying.
And …. the idiots are back
I tentatively believe Ronaldo is no longer close to being one of the worlds top forwards, but I refuse to rubberstamp any opinion on any player until Ole is gone.
20 something % possession and it’s back to being his fault again I see? 
You are delusional; Ronaldo is easily still one of the best in the world at what he does. You are letting the dire management of this team cloud your judgement.It's embarrassing that Ronaldo is even having to put up with this mess.
The delusion among some people here is incredible.20 something % possession and it’s back to being his fault again I see?
Genuinely believe some people here have the memory of a goldfish.
Wait what was wrong with Ronaldo today? Linked up play well, won a few fouls, won headers, nearly scored. Considering the side we have he was fine wasn’t he?
He must be regretting not joining City. Which makes me really sad.
