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.

Hope we get Rabiot, a right sided forward (ideally on loan maybe Ziyech) and a RB
However this turns out, it’s been a hell of a ride. Thread goes from doom and gloom to euphoria in a matter of minutes.
I always believed.
Just wait for one negative Tweet from whoever, he doesn’t need to be reliable. Boom. This place has a meltdown.
Ziyech would be a good signing. ETH would get the best out of him hopefully as he did at Ajax.
Im 50/50 on Rabiot, I think if we could get a proper DM in would be better but if not Rabiot could be a decent addition. Only problem is his mum could cause Pogba type problems.
A right sided full back would only happen when either Dialot or AWB leaves, which looks like it will be towards the end of the window.
All in all 3 signings in addition to FDJ and the others already being brought in would change the mood big time. Heres to a great season.
See your point about a DM, however absolutely convinced Erik isn't going to play with one
Such is the way. The muppet life is never straightforward, it's a bumpy, rough ride. Never as smooth as we'd like it to be haha!
I know he doesn't want to play with one but rather than using McT or Fred in that role a proper DM ala Kante would change the game for our midfield imo. Hate watching teams run straight through the middle of our team totally unchecked. Leads to too many goals/chances.
Yeah spot on, needs to be flexible on this
Its off, its on, its off, its on, its off,its on and so the cycle continues. Get ready muppets he's coming! (Until the next negative tweet that is)
Yeah I get the sense ETH does not want a destroyer. Just 2 capable CMs.
Need him and Rabiot in the team for Liverpool
Although I agree with you… rushing new players into a starting 11 could go wrong. Not to mention it being a very big game. They’ll have to adapt to the league and have plenty of training sessions with there new team mates.
Just throw them straight into the lineup.
He will be in the squad.
I’d say that’s partly true, but surely the quality of the player also makes the difference because McFred have trained and played together for years and were just as shocking last game in comparison to their first.
Kounde still isn't registered and they aim to sign even more players
Plus he is familiar with the manager and his style of football and players deal with these same issues with the national team, especially the Netherlands where the lineup changes very often and they barely play together.
I think this has a couple of twists and turns yet, it'll happen sooner or later though
Ye 100% the quality will make a difference. Mctominay and Fred are just not very good players. Any of the new guys mainly rabiot will have to adapt to how ten Hag wants us to play. De Jong should settle quickly as he knows the manager and his demands.
Yes but ETH has expressly stated that he would not play FDJ as a 6 because he wants him to roam and “is away too often” to play 6. Possibly this implies he wants another player in there who can provide cover in the no6 area. Or, as you say, two capable CMs, meaning two clever, adaptable guys who can form an effective pair.
This is exactly Rabiot's job
He is 100% going to start today. It will add to the drama.
He'll be a sub.
Does seem like the Chelsea noise has died down the last few days. Maybe there's an agreement in place with United? Trying not to get my hopes up but it looks better today than it has for a while. Think by this time next week we'll know either way.
Typical racist argument. Oh I have a black friend so I’m not racist. News flash: you still can be.
Well Xavi keeps saying he is important to him. So I think he starts. Question is is he going to be booed?
This is good, we’re gonna get an angry De Jong ready to tear the world apart!
Xavi says that about all his players.
Does he mean it?
He didn’t say about that Dest.
What did he say about him?
We do muppetry so incredibly well 
From agony to ecstasy in just a couple of tweets from dubious foreign sources
From agony to ecstasy in just a couple of tweets from dubious foreign sources
But they’re not as reliable as the journo’s that are reporting for United and Barcelona

I keep saying it but Van der Kraan isn’t a dubious foreign source
Will be interesting to hear what the Athletic podcast has to say on Monday
If they’re good enough to pay the big bucks for then they go straight into the team, Liverpool will eat McFred without salt.
Why is everyone confident about this now? I can't find the relevant news with all the de Jong masturbation
Edit - Oh, it's down to a shite Sport article and pure untreated muppetry, I see
