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 made the save from Mitrovic header look much better than it really was.
My MOTM today.
Absolutely MOTM as we were out until he stopped it.
If only he could pass…

Criticised for making a good save look good.Who fecking cares as long as he saves it?
The agendas are so bad now you have people downplaying his world class moments.
MOTM
Some good saves. Standard performance otherwise. Distribution not great. Didn’t collect any crosses.
Tough crowd
One of the only times this season where I actually do think De Gea saved us. We go at least 0-2 down without him and lose comfortably. Unreal saves.
The header from Mitrovic was very impressive. The slowed down replay makes it look easier than it was in real time.

Agreed, this was easily better. Shame, we conceded right after.
Single Handley kept us in the game long enough for Fulham to implode
The save from the Mitrovic header was amazing.
Made several very good saves.

Not really. I basically mean “not great” literally. As in he didn’t play any impressive or memorable passes. So nothing sticks in the memory, good or bad. No accurate passes to feet between the lines, or long range pings to wide players. Although, to be fair, it’s hard to pass between the lines to a player who hides as effectively as McT.
Anyway, his distribution was all very low risk and unimpressive. Hence “not great”. No really poor passes though. Which is an improvement on some recent performances. So there’s that.
He saved us against West Ham and Leicester also.
Well, for starters, he didn't score. Again! No assists, either. And no tackles. If we had Whats-His-Name we'd be up 5-0 by halftime.
Couple of really good saves today. Definitely kept us in the match at 1-0. Deserves credit for those saves.
Kicking and claiming of crosses as usual was hopeless. Not that I expect anything of him in that regard anymore.

True, but the save from Willian’s shot is excellent. Many goalies are unable to save it. I would be certain that Ederson lets it past him for instance.
The Mitrovic one is nice, but he should always be able to save it. It was more how effortless it looked.
Yeah, the Willian save was very good. Fair point.
I've been paying attention to him, and his distribution in the first half was very good, in particular "long range pings to wide players". I noticed he had a couple of those "accurate passes to feet between the lines" in the last game (either Betis or Southampton, they all blur together), from which very promising attacks/shots developed, and he got zero credit for those too.
The Willian save was top quality. Mitro one was very good too.
For De Deag, these are routine saves. No chance Raya, Ramsdale or whoever is the flavor of the month right now that some of us would shitcan Dave for makes those saves.
Fair enough. I probably wasn’t paying as much attention as you. And did miss a fair bit of the first half, due to domestic distractions!
Ah yes, the fact that he did what he was supposed to do and keep the ball out of the net means shit because the other stats just don't stack up.
Yeah, ignore the muppets David De Goat. Thanks to you, we go again.
I can genuinely see Dave trying to do business outside the six yard box.
That was a really fantastic header from mitrovic and a great save to make. Massive moment in the game
Couple of good saves, standard mixed bag distribution. No command, limited sweeping.
Pretty much what you expect from De Gea really.
Wired narrative going around making out that other GK'S wouldn't make the Mitrovic save, I think every other PL keeper makes that save, maybe not as spectacular, maybe not as aesthetically pleasing but I think they all get there. Mitrovic got good direction but not a massive amount of power on it. De Gea had plenty of time to get accross and make the save. It's a good save but you would expect most GK's to get there because it dosent have the power.

Making a late run for player of the season.....again.
How many do you think make the Willian shot? Not many! I agree that a fair few would make the Mitrovic header. DDG is great at placing himself for those though, so we are a bit spoilt when it comes to saving those. His movement and placement on the line is simply world class in those situations, so yes he makes it look easy, but it's his placement on the line that arguably makes it so. I would still wager the top goalies in the league saves it 8/10 times. The Willian shot, however, I don't think there are many that are able to reach. Pope would probably save it, and arguably (but only arguably because he has often been slow to get down and out) Allisson.
No. Casemiro, Martinez, Varane, Rashford are all ahead of him, and I'd argue that Shaw is probably ahead of him as well.
A late run means he is behind and by the way Shaw would be streets ahead .of Varane
I love those phrases, streets ahead, whereas I would argue that Varane has been better than Shaw, so if anything it is at best arguable. IMHO, Varane has been about as good as Martinez, just doing things more quietly, so for me he's ahead of Shaw, but in no way streets ahead.
I think I would put Casemiro as the most important, albeit with a dip in form lately. Rashford second due to his goals, then Martinez slightly ahead of Varane and then Shaw. It's quite close for me between all of them, and a case could be made for most of them.
If you have to use sarcasm then you're streets behind.
That's around pretty much every save.
Fairly quiet in here for a couple of weeks then he makes a save and all of a sudden there's player of the season talk.
This is mental at this point. He can literally save our ass but one bad pass is enough to people start trashing him again.
Obviously, and bad passes will come sooner rather than later because he is just not good with his feet, he will not get better at his age. I guess we have to ditch the build with the keeper strategy because it's too risky. It happened during Ole it's happening now. We either buy a new keeper who can pass the ball or play a different way from the back not involving the GK.
