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.

Hardly any fecker has seen him play.
Why not both? might aswell.
Dont we have enough overpriced English players already? Kane has to show for a longer period that he's capable of scoring plenty goals before we even consider buying him.
You mean Shaw? We have bought very few expensive British players, Rooney was very good value, Young, Smalling & Jones for teens of millions, hardly big sums in today's market.
How exactly do you class overpriced? I see Falcao as overpriced, million quid a month for dire shite.
If you actually look at our biggest flops, none of them were born in GB. I do wonder why certain fans have an agenda?
Shaw, Jones, Young were all overpriced. And Rooney at the moment is overpaid.
In your opinion. obviously you want the club to dash out & buy the latest must have South Americans, as we've done so well with those none British players
Find it really difficult relating to someone with such a closed mind, think you need to think outside the box, rather than making sweeping statements, that have no basis of truth, simply your own perception of how football works.
Benzema is 27, kane is 21. Kane will accept the bench, benzema would mean rooney in cm
Seriously??
Harry Kane would probably cost at least fifty million. No way we spend that much on him then keep him on the bench.
Di Maria was a special case, not the norm.
Kane will costs near 50 million euro's, a 2nd striker for that money is ridiculous.
Is this where all this Benzema speculation is coming from? Benitez supposedly planning on restructuring Real Madrid's formation?
That's not I want, anyway.In your opinion. obviously you want the club to dash out & buy the latest must have South Americans, as we've done so well with those none British players

I should think out of the box, how is wanting to buy every new british hype thinking out of the box?
I want us to buy the best possible players, not just because they're british. We have enough home grown players.
Benzema will cost at least 35-40m. Hes 27 and will see united as the second fiddle club he ended with after he finished from real
If you think 40m for Shaw isnt overpriced, you might argue 8m was a decent fee for Bebe.In your opinion. obviously you want the club to dash out & buy the latest must have South Americans, as we've done so well with those none British players

Id rather spend another 20m for half of a decade of football especially since we will recoup most of it through salary
So? Is more guarantee of world class than Kane.
He's had a great season but there's no guarantee that he'll continue at that level. Benzema is as close to a sure thing as you'll get. Kane? not so much.
I don't even want us to sign a striker mind but, if we did, Benzema would be the better option (imo).
Agree with this.
The figures quoted for him after 1 good season is a piss take .
If we were talking 25 million then you could take a punt but 50 million is a big gamble .
I think he could be the next shearer if I'm being honest but let's see how he goes next season .
Nah was being sarcastic.
Tough one though, Benzema is an established proven and experienced striker that would probably bag 20+ goals a season. He's probably at his peak age now
Kane is on his breakthrough season and still needs to be prove he can be consistent goalscorer next year too but he has the youth on his side. He needs to stay at Spurs though and prove he can do it again.
I think I'd still take benzema at this point though.
I recall LVG mention that we were lacking a goalscorer that could score 20 plus goals, if we get Benzema then Im sure he will score bucket loads.
Re Kane he should stay at Spurs for at least one more season.

Shaw wasn't 40 million lol. I'm not the one getting my knickers in a twist over how much the club spends!
In euro's, he was like 37 million. Sorry. Not even the point. Isnt he like the most expensive LB and teenager ever?
Well, save this comment once he become world class... on the other hand I am not the one who could judge him as I haven't seen him play enough but have you? All people here seem to be experts and seen everyone play...my point is all the same, I'm just telling you about the type of player we would use better not exact names..
I would absolutely love him here but then i don't know how we will fit both him and Rooney together. The last time Rooney had any good understanding with a partner was with Tevez. Its a nice problem to have though.
You missed out Zaha and Powell.
No I haven't but not even Messi is perfect, that's my point.
And about the style of players think about what Kanu, Kluivert, Van Persie, Olic and Falcao have in common. From what I understand Dybala is more a wide player, second striker.
I have no idea. PSG seemingly can't afford him without selling big, thus the deal is a complete non-starter. If they offered the cash, he'd probably be interested in the move. Obviously I have no idea what he thinks of Paris any more, but (apparently) Paris was his preference, once he realised Madrid wanted to cash in on him.
This guy is a VERY good player, he is just not as clinical in front of goal as the top top strikers, but his all round play is probably one of the best.
Would love him at United, plus his first touch is class too.
Why would United pay Southampton in Euros? Jeez clutching at straws to prove a point, with all these overpriced British players. Shaw in the long term will prove to be good value. Stop think anti British & in the short term.
Yeah screw Benzema let him rot on Real's bench for all I care. He don't want to play for us. Don't see why we should chase a player like him.
Both represent a gamble. Kane is has just 1 great season in his belt, however he's young, EPL proven and hungry. Benzema has been around for quite some time but he's 27, he's used to his way and will probably see the United deal as a step down/second option choice (:cough: Di Maria :cough: Falcao :cough)
What does it matter? It's the same money only in different valuta's. The total value is the same.
Im not anti british at all, but british players are often overpriced and overhyped, and that's basically a fact.
Luke Shaw was overpriced
If we could get Benzema as a part of De Gea deal we'd be better off than if we kept De Gea. I very much doubt that's going to happen though as Benzema has already turned us down once and doesn't seem particularly keen on the idea of moving go United, while Real Madrid will be able to get De Gea from us even without offering us anyone in exchange.
Benzema wants to stay at Madrid according to his agent, and no meeting took place with Woodward. Saw that on french tv (Telefoot).
I doubted that he wanted to leave anyways...
Why would we want a player who's rejected us twice and when we were dominant too?
They'd only sell him if they got a new toy for themselves.
It's clear that he doesn't want to leave
Am I the only one who thinks that Karim Benzema's reputation has been greatly assisted by being the lone striker for one of the most dominantly creative teams in world football? I'm pretty sure even Falcao in his current run of abysmal form could replace him at Real Madrid and be equally lauded.
I have serious doubts about Benzema being equally prolific in the prem, and certainly for us where we're no where near as creative as we used to be, so he'll get far less clear cut chances to score than he gets at Real Madrid.
