In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

i really REALLY hope we no what we are doing!!!!!!!!
I hope Evra's contract renewal only to end up leaving months later, is down to him trying to help the club out. Any interview you ever see with him where he's talking about United, you can feel his genuine love for the club.
Wouldn't surprise me one bit if he signed a contract extension just in case the Shaw deal didn't come off, with the added advantage that the club would get some sale fee compensation if Shaw did come. Then this Juve and Vidal situation has all fallen into place nicely to make his move even more beneficial to the club.
I'll miss Pat if this happens, but if his leaving makes the club stronger, that's a great final contribution.

Love this theory that selling a 33 year old left back is somehow a significant factor in us buying one of the best and most sought after players in football.
Daniel Taylor saying it is pretty close now too.
Resigned to him leaving now.
Will be sad.

If it assists in bringing us Vidal, its all good.
If Vidal isn't part of the deal i'll lose most of my muppet optimism on us signing him.
I don't think we'd be "reluctant" if vidal was going to be part of it somehow.
seems to be no mention at all of vidal been anything to do with this deal....
According to Taylor, Patrice is "asking MUFC if he can go" so by that I'm inferring that Juventus have promised him first-team football whereas obviously we can't now.
Gutted that he doesn't want to stay for the year but if it's his choice then good luck Patrice.
He didn't sign an extension. His contract had an extra year which United could choose to activate, he had no choice in whether it was activated or not.
Same clause is in Herrera's and Shaw's contracts. 4 years with the option of one more instead of a straight 5 year contract. It's just a small layer of insurance for the club for big contracts.
To have 3 first team defenders leave in one season is unheard of, what a clear out!
I thought with Asamoah, Juve wouldn't need Evra.
Well, we'll need to sign another new left back. Any suggestions?
Dont do it! We need him!
Losing the experience of Vidic, Rio and Evra all in one summer is a bad idea.
Even an average backup would cost £10m in this market.

Asamoah is actually a CM, he is just playing out of position for us so a LB is badly needed for us. I think Evra is a good signing for us if it does happen. Experienced player who has won a lot i'm sure he would do well for us if it happened.
He's done so much for United that if he really wants to go then let him.
We'll either buy some back-up for Shaw or made Rooney play LB, no worry.

Why can't you just let me believe he loves the club and everything he does is for the benefit of Manchester United Football Club?
grimaldo from barca's B team seemed absolutely terrific... though i am basing this on one game lol and it barca so i dowt they would sell if he highly rated.
Juve will change formation this year, at least in champions league they will try the 433.
They don't have a left back, only Ogbonna (adapted), Chiellini (adapted), De Ceglie (not good enough, on his way out)
They are looking for a LB, and attacking wingers (Iturbe, Nani, Biabiany, Ibarbo)

Could be a usefull move to get him as a backup for CB and LB but still no competition to Shaw right in his first season at OT? we need a proper leftback if evra goes
We always seem to lose these experienced players for next to nothing. O Shea and Wes Brown being recent examples.
If you try and get some unproven Championship player they'd probably cost 8-10m, so why let someone like Evra out for jack
Im with you on this. His potential contribution in the locker room and on the pitch should be worth more to us than a couple of mil.
His contribution on the pitch was more costly than beneficial last season. I don't want him anywhere near that pitch! If he helps bring in a Vidal the boy has to go.
and mute this one unless you are 14 and under
Sorry to see you go Paddy. Great player but what a character.
Maldini would have struggled to look good in that abortion of a season.
We've just splurged £30 million on the next big thing, and as we only have Pl to worry about I say just play him, I'm sure one of the CB could fill in of needed.
But a name, I say that old chestnut Fabio Coentrao, could be the best around for under £15 million or so.
Whilst I agree, especially a player of his age being sacrificed for Vidal, if that was to happen, but I think without Champions League games and being able to have more of a break, he would offer more on the pitch taan he has the last few years. He was flogged game after game for too long.
And hence his legs went 2 seasons back to anyone but loyal united fans.
Your rationalising Evra's own personal horror shows......
I still think he could play a back up role and mentor shaw. Do we want a 19 year old playing all our games, more so next year if we get back in the CL? Would prefer a solid back up than say Buttner or even Fabio. John O'Shea in his utility pomp would be ideal.
Like I said though, if he is a sweetner for the Vidal deal, and he is willing, the with regret it's time to say goodbye. Then it's up to the management to get a solid back upto Shaw rather than watch him get flogged Paddy style.
Why can't you just let me believe he loves the club and everything he does is for the benefit of Manchester United Football Club?
I still think he loves the club. Can't really fault him for wanting to be a certain starter and experience a new league/culture than spend half the season on the bench.
It's more Juve/United relations that annoy me. We can't let them lowball us for Evra while they're playing hardball over Vidal at the same time.
No i have just wiped the part of my memory covering last season
Jesus it's happening isn't it, Evra is off and as early as tomorrow. We better get Vidal out of this deal Juve you robbing bastards
I'm pretty worried about the lack of experience in the squad now to be honest. Fletchers there but he not been an integral part of the squad for years, Rooney wouldn't be there if I had the choice. I suppose giggs will still be be able to play an influential role though.
However I know they're miles past their best but losing rio, vidic and evra in one summer will be a massive shock to the system, for the players and the fans.

He'd do well in either formation. Especially with Barzagli, Chiellini and Bonucci at the back when he goes forward and jogs back. Not sure that will be as acceptable considering how energetic Lichsteiner is on the other flank.
Kuyt will fill in.
looks a pretty sure thing now:

still not even the vaguest claim this has anything to do with vidal, so just seems like it a stand alone deal.
personally i think it the best move for the club, evra and shaw, apart from the obvious problem of leaving us without back up

We will be lucky to get 7 million for nani
Fabio was not exactly a teen when he was sold, he done nothing under fergie, even when Evra was becoming a liability. His loan spell at QPR was poor
