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.

I'd rather that than him staying at this point.
Absolutely. He'll ruin their general game and team structure and we save 20 million.
What is there to lose?
Also, he's not likely to stay longer than a year there either.
Nah, I agree with Judas - I think he'll struggle to win over many fans after this.
Is it possible his missus doesn't want to live in England, we're all assuming it's totally football related but it could be a combination of a few things.
I just don't see a club that he goes to currently that is actually an improvement on United so I can't understand the logic.

Exactly, if he wants to rip up his contract he can do so after the window closes.
With all due respect SAF needs to keep out of this.
No way we terminate his contract. He can leave for a nominal fee but WE must be able to control this departure. Cant let him rock up at competitor once freed.
He is acting like a petulant child.

Am I the only that is more eager to see him sod off this summer than either pogba or lingard, they at least acted professionally and didn't run off to another country in a strop because they couldn't leave the club.
He is a toxic brat.
He is a toxic brat.
Couldn't give a toss where he goes. He could rock up at Anfield wearing a shell suit for all I care.
He's one of the least likeable United players I've known and can't wait for him to officially leave.
He is nothing to do with it
Probably doesn’t want to be at a club that no longer promotes excellence, employs substandard players and doesn’t compete at the highest level.
I no longer want him at the club. Once players have their heart set on leaving, I'd always let them leave.
So I'd get rid by any means necessary.
He's 38 in February. He's a much worse player 14 years later. Just get rid.
Agreed.
Yes.
Yeah. And the clubs who currently do all or most of these things rightly don’t want him.
Yep.
Then he's in for a shock because I don't see a club he can go to that will offer him that.
United will be better off without him, we're rebuilding.
Think Chelsea is the only team who is willing to take him. Would explain the released from contract rumours - we made it clear from early that we wouldn’t sell to a rival.
He fed this monster.
And yet no top club wants him.
So he can't compete at the highest level either.
His ego is through the roof.
He isn’t going to Chelsea. If Chelsea wanted him they’d have no issue paying the 12m fee we’d likely want. This is all about getting him to either atletico or Bayern.
From our point of view, we also actually don't need a grandpa who runs out steam after 10 minutes of pressing, throws a strop when on the bench and no longer scores 50 goals a year.
He's as past it as we are. He should know his place.
Tuchel doesn't want him.
Atletico risk a riot if they sign him and he doesn't fit the Bayern Munich way of business.
I just don't see him going their.
I think in the long run it's a good thing, but it does him no favours with the fans. Not that I expect that to concern him. It only goes to prove that he would have been more than happy to sign for City. I do think it's terrible timing for the club because there isn't a suitable replacement available. From his point of view, we are not in the Champions League, nor in a position to challenge for the league this season. However, no top side seemingly wants to touch him which I take great delight from, but also despair that we may have to tolerate his antics for another year.
Maybe Napoli then. If Chelsea actually wanted him they’d have zero issue paying us a fee. Tuchel doesn’t want him.
He should join Benfica and turn SCP fans against him.
I don't think it's worth showing who is stronger and stomping our foot down.
Negotiate a termination even if it costs us some money. In the long run we'd be better off because this drama is just not worth it
If we let him rot on the bench he'll just pick his wages and not show up for training. He won't care about Qatar since his spot there is guaranteed.
Really disappointing to see a great career end like a twat.

Yeah, with a lack of takers, it is a bit of a shitshow.
I think Chelsea would take him, but we wouldn't sell to them. If we release him he goes there for free, pocketing a huge sign on bonus, and very importantly a huge bonus for Mendes.
Because they are our rivals for top 4 and currently have Werner/Havertz as strikers.
Let’s extend his contract and then sell him to the Saudis next year, let him go on loan to Athletico this. Year and destroy his legacy with Real too !
There’s no way we’d refuse to sell him to Chelsea, then release him without knowing where he was going and he just rocks up at Chelsea. Even by our standards that’s an incompetence level we can’t reach.
Well that's a shame, because that sort of club is the only one that'll accommodate him these days.
If I were ETH I'll want Ronaldo gone, the last guy we have who head is too big for his body, the rest of the squad will absolutely play to his instructions. It will be him 100 percent in charge.
