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.
Ahh that stinks. Would have loved Mourinho to be in this tournament.
Proctologist should Czech it out.
First time that's why I'm perplexed
the more he doesn't start and plays sparingly it allows the negotiations to possibly be a bit easier than if he started and fecking tore it up
Ah, the Pep special. Very silly to do that now.
Martinez masterclass
Tbf he will still be good then
Exactly.
Christ, can't the BBC do better than Danny fecking Murphy?
Portugal lineup average age 29.
Good chance, didn't get any power on it.
Looks like it came off his shoulder.
Even he is better than Jermaine Jenas, which says something.
He's been practicing headers with Eric Bailly. 
Probably right. I can't fault Pepe. He has been tremendous for us. Probably the best player in the WC along Fernandes. All these supposed so called star players outplayed by a 40 year old.
given the three mids starting, i'd be if he comes on it would be for Bernardo to free up Bruno to be a bit more attacking
Nuno Mendes as LCB and Cancelo as Am or something this formation is something else. If we don't get a result Martinez will get destroyed by our media.
Feels like I am watching West Ham vs Wolves
Good run by Leao. Nobody there to finish it off though.
Why is Pepe starting over the 2 promising CBs?
You want Shearer or … Jenas?
Get up Ronaldo you clown
Is Leao the best left winger behind Mbappe and Vinicius?
He sure is a fun player
He sure is a fun player
Diving twat
Yesman as coach
If it stays goalless, Cancelo surely will be the first sub off for Neves or someone else? He's probably the weak link in this team in his position.
Oh, c’mon.
The problem isn't Pepe starting. The problem is Ronaldo starting.
Insult to all clowns
He is better? The national team and the Euros arent the moment to develop promosing players
Martinez looking like Sunak out there.
Vitinha....I really like him
You want Shearer or … Jenas?
I don't want or need any of them. I have eyes.
3 balls played into a dangerous area in the first 15 mins. Central. 10 yards out and Ronaldo nowhere to be seen for any of them.
Feels like I'm watching Fernando Santos Portugal.
This has an England v Serbia vibe to it. One team passing it around and rarely going anywhere, main man up front not involved in the game.
Drab so far. Back down to earth after the Turkey game.

Raining in Germany again while dry here in Manchester. Not seen many games without rain in this tournament so far.
What exactly is Portugal's tactic here?
Everyone is everywhere.
