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'll take even the worst player in the world in my team if you can guarantee that he'll score two goals in every game. Sure as hell beats Trevor "five goals in four seasons for City" Sinclair.
And to think he couldn't hit a barn door when he first arrived.
What a player! 2 injury time winning goals and all time international records! He really does it in style!
Surely he'll get the his #7 now ?
Misses next match because of celebration? the ref is daft.
Good for us. He gets to rest.
He’s going to be the media target after Pogba and Bruno. Every blank, every miss - the media is going to jump on that. Hope us United fans have thick skins because there are some daft pundits sitting with an agenda.
After those 2?
He'll be the main target for the ABUs and ABU media all season. They'll micro-analyze everything he does on the field all season.
That aged well
He has been bought for title push as long as we are in the conversation come end of the season who cares otherwise criticism would be justified .
I think he deserved some leeway to celebrate because of what he was celebrating.
Yeah, had nothing to do with Rooney maturing and Ronaldo becoming the phenomena that he became after that. It was obviously Saha, who was injured so often when he was with us, that made the difference when we won the title 3 times in a row.
Some of you lot are trying to use every silly statement possible to put a negative spin on it that it would not be out of place on Rawk or Bluemoon.
How can Trevor fecking Sinclair comment on anything about the ability of Ronaldo. He was talking about how Ronaldo's legs will tire in the Prem and that he's past it... What a sad hill to die on. Sinclair has less goals in 540 games as a winger... than Ronaldo does in his international career. I mean... clout chasing knuts all over the place these days.
Well he was a 8.15/10 in whoscored, scoring 2 crucial goals which win the match, and motm too. Oh and also broke the all time international record.
Who’s Sinclair by the way?
"He had a bad game until he bagged a brace" well alright mate by your logic Adama has a stormer every game even though he doesn't score or assist.
So, Cristiano's yellow card git him suspended for their next game on the 7th of September? Smart move, Cristiano, smart move.
I've noticed a certain level of under rating him in the English press. I wonder if the same would have happened had he been at City. So many people hate United in English press it's unreal.
That’s true?? Great for United
Yeah, he was quick to get onside and then read the cross to get infront of the defender. From our team, I think only Cavani would have done that.
Jose Mourinho has a total of zero goals. Is he not capable of having an opinion? We might as well close this forum if we're only allowed to form an opinion or comment if our footballing records permit. You get the drift.
Shame he didn't get sent off and miss the second match
This might actually be a positive though because no one else in the squad is equipped to ignore being a target (maybe even thriving through it) like Cristiano. It might give some other players without 5 Ballon d'Or some breathing space.
Yeah, but Mourinho has been one of best coaches in the game. Sinclair has not. He’s allowed to comment, but he is not very interesting nor relevant.
Fecking pathetic from the guy, Ronaldo should have slapped him properly. You don't do that to a legend of the game and then the reaction after, pathetic.
The poster compared Sinclair's goals tally as a stick. Mourinho has not played the game at a professional level just as us posters have not played at a great level. Does that mean our opinions are pointless? Why get so sensitive if Ronaldo gets scrutinised? If anything, great players as spurred on by critics to prove them wrong. More the merrier.
I think this is only his second game back since the euros. He played some minutes in one game for Juventus before moving and then the full game today. Would love for him to play some more minutes for Portugal to build up his sharpness and fitness and then return to us as a sharper and fitter Ronaldo. But i guess he can now come back to Carrington early and train with our team soon!
No one is getting sensitive it’s just funny when a nobody criticises an all time great who had just broken the world record
Yeah but then he digs in. The guy just scored 2 late goals to win Portugal the match and also broke the record for international goals scored in the process. Yet Sinclair says he was 5/10 before the last 10 mins. What a silly thing to say. Just admit he is such a difference maker and stop making silly statements about a guy who is still exceptional.
Sinclair is correct. He did have a bad game prior to his goals.
He really wasn’t that bad prior to the goals. It was just a shock seeing Ireland defend so well that the penalty box striker didn’t get many chances in a congested penalty box.
If anything it shows what Ronaldo will bring. That relentless ability to score at any time in any situation no matter how the game is going
If anything it shows what Ronaldo will bring. That relentless ability to score at any time in any situation no matter how the game is going
Yeah but that's not the take away from that surely. Talk about only focussing on negatives. If all Ronaldo does this season for us is have 5/10 games but pops up with two delicious late winners per game then I, and I suspect most, would be ecstatic.
This is our latest meme isn't it?
Who's stopping anyone commenting? I'm talking about the audacity. We're in a forum for United fans. He's on Talksport. Doesn't compare.
Jose Mourinho has loads of titles. He can open his gob on anything and anyone. He's managed Ronaldo and actually wouldn't be talking out of his arse, like Sinclair is.
I'll have you know the Queen does a jumping twirl and "suuuuuuu" every morning in front of the mirror
Yes. Can we please stop this non-sensical "if he's not allowed to comment, then free speech is over!" argument. He's paid to do what he does. We ain't. He's supposed to know football in and out, we don't really. We just hear from people inside the dressing rooms. He can spout his non-sense. I'm just going to ask him to feck off every opportunity I get.
Sinclair is correct on that, but think most are annoyed with Sinclair because he was so positive towards Ronaldo when he looked nailed on for City, only for him to focus on every negative aspect of Ronaldo after we hijacked the deal a few days later. Same with Jonathan Wilson. Imagine seeing one of the all-time greats breaking a seemingly impossible record and in the process turning the game from a loss to a win in the last 10 minutes, only for him to focus on how poor he was before that. If that is how you judge great players, then Mo Salah should be viewed as only an okayish one.
Let the ABU media have it. It's a good sign. They are shitting their pants. Bit strange to see some of the our supporters singing to the same tune though.
