In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
What could've been.
Quality player.
I remember it used to do my head in when we had Nani on free kicks as I can't remember him ever scoring one. Turns out we had a free kick maestro on the pitch who never got a look in.
I'm sure they said it was only the fourth freekick he'd taken in the Premier League and his first goal.
Messi-esque today.
What could have been if only he insisted on taking them earlier in his career.
He's scored some stunning goals in his career because he has that quality.
He'd be our leading scorer if he was in our side.
Scorer of great goals but not a great goalscorer
He also invented pressing before pressing was a thing
He's a Kanu regen
Fantastic! We should re-sign him
Think he's onto 70 now, which proves the point. You'd expect a player of his class to have at least 100. Would be nice if he could have a few top seasons now and break double figures. Looks in great nick for his age tbf.
Has now scored 3+ goals in 11 PL seasons. Kane only managed 10. Salah will likely finish on 8. His longevity is underappreciated.
He just doesn't have the instincts to be a prolific or even regular scorer, had a couple of chances in this half to put the game to bed and not taken them.
However, he really is an excellent footballer, good physical qualities, technically adept, but also works for the team and is tactically adaptable. If he was even a 12-15 goal a season guy he would still be at Utd or Arsenal if he had avoided injuries.

3+ seems like an incredibly low bar for a forward.
Always happy to see him score, except when it’s against us every season. Seems a likeable chap.
Really is this easy. And the second paragraph makes the first all the more disappointing, because you'd just love to see someone like him truly make it at United!
Great goal.
