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.
Ole/Jose all over again. Constantly coming back from the brink when we all know it's over. Then their luck inevitably run out.
We're capable of a purple patch just as we're capable of beating villa, spurs, Porto. Change feck all though even if we do, he isn't good enough we need to get rid.
We'll hear the same bollocks from his fans and Dutch contingent though.

Comfortably one of our more dangerous players tonight, it made little sense to take him off?
Can't wait to see the back of Rashford, Bruno and ETH.
Spurs and Villa up next and then an International break. Good bet we will have a different manager for Brentford at home on the 19th of October.
I can see a win against Brentford then draws/loses in the rest
Think we’re in trouble here and having a season written off in early October will be a disgrace
We virtually have a full squad and a strong bench there are no excuses
Backing managers when they show no progress is so stupid. We give all our managers way way too much fecking time
The last 11 years in a nutshell.
One win in nine in Europe. We ain't making the knockouts under him. I hope someone within INEOS recognises this and acts.
But but we were told that Twente were the Dutch Barnsley
Then, you must hate football.
Oh dear. His European record with us is disastrous. Different squad, different players, one constant, same problems.
Porto away and Fenerbahce away. We aren’t getting out of this group automatically under his coaching.
Get him out.

Purple patch? Against Spurs, Porto, Villa, Brentford and Fenabache?
Brilliant sense of humor
It will be interesting to know what picture he has in his mind when he makes these subs.
One. Against Brentford. If we’re lucky.
Nah. At that point just put up the club in administration. No need to continue and stain the Man UTD legacy.
But in all seriousness, INEOS have to know UTD fans will not take kindly to Potter or Southgate. I'd doubt they go that route. More likely they circle back to Tuchel, who showed interest and is currently unemployed. There is also a chance at Xavi, who has won and managed a big club. Whether Xavi can coach in EPL, I don't know. But he'd be a lot more qualified than Potter or Southgate
Some extremely harsh comments tonight. We can't judge him until Martinez Shaw is back.
You thought Ten Hag was right to sub him then yeah?
Useless bald cnut should be sacked by midnight, absolutley useless
We have beaten Fulham, Southampton and fecking Barnsley. I can’t wait for this manager to be sacked. How his vision and process has turned us from day one, into one of the most poor attacking United teams in 40 years. Add the amount of players he has signed, favouritism he has shown and poor in game management it really is getting beyond now! Of course his cult will have us believing he is the messiah and it’s all the players fault, injuries, bad luck etc etc but INEOS really dropped a bollock by keeping him.
Agree
I think he’d be an ok manager for someone like Dortmund, RB Leipzig or Napoli for a couple of seasons. But this job, or any like it, is too big for him
Won’t be surprised if he says he was ‘happy not to lose in the end’ again. Simply doesn’t have the big club mentality
I genuinely think he's got a month or so in the job looking at the fixtures. We aren't good enough under him, and he continues to not help himself.
He did a good flip flap and a couple of good moments but outside of that he had a few misplaced passes and wasn't as direct as Garnacho was when he came on. He was by no means bad but taking him off for a center forward is hardly baffling.
I am more annoyed that Bruno wasn't hooked instead of Eriksen.
We are in an ongoing transition, when this rebuild will be complete no one can say. Certainly not Erik but I suspect it will last until we actually do something of note in the league under him or he gets the boot.
That was the 60 mins against Palace.
Yup. And I honestly feel as if it will never come to fruition.
Yeah, absolutely. They might think a bit of egg on the face after keeping him on, sacking him this early on in the season but I’d see it as a very assured move - moving on from “mistakes” quickly and not tolerating excuses. But yeah, realistically earliest is probably December.
There'll be excuses. Interview and press conference within the hour.
If we're serious about meeting on the pitch objectives this season then it'll take decisive action like you describe. Waiting it out beyond this international break is leaving too much for the next manager to realistically achieve.
No game is easy, unless you're playing Barnsley every week. I've a feeling SAF would actually be insulted by that post.
The biggest issue I have with ETH at the moment is his refusal to sub Bruno.
Bruno aside, I thought his selection and subs tonight were decent
Bruno aside, I thought his selection and subs tonight were decent
Rival fans have legitimately been his biggest backers these last 2 years
We are showing progress, very very very slowly.
I thought he’d score tonight. A change of midfield
and instead he took off rashford leaving us with 1 wide man against a team defending deep
He's trying to be funny and failing miserabley.
He’s not good enough. Even Maresca is outshining him. Hopefully he club is planning for his replacement.
