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.
He’s no less than top 3
Rio spoke highly of Woodward and Judge, and alluded to inside knowledge of what's going on. 20:35 mins in, says "here's a hint, deadline day is going to be madness."
Camavinga to be our deadline day signing, I want to believe 
Ah yes, the ‘third significant signing’ was quite something. To the fourth then
Cama cama cama cama chameleon!
I still think we’re getting Trippier. I dunno why
It was mentioned that we consider him as the best talent out there so we will go for him if there is an opportunity regardless of other option. So yes this will be my bet as well.Camavinga to be our deadline day signing, I want to believe
Saul on loan won't be bad as well
Now I know it's been a day of miracles, but surely this is a step too far for Woody and the team...He would be 75 by now...
This will be like watching Line Of Duty waiting for the mystery man to be revealed.Ah yes, the ‘third significant signing’ was quite something. To the fourth then
It'll be Harry Winks
Lube has been ordered for deadline day.
Also I think it's smart from the club to let Rio kind of be the front of stuff like this.
I watched the stream and took it that they are doing a transfer deadline day special with Fabrizio. Akin to Skysports news deadline day.
I don't think it has anything to do with another United transfer.

I predict Trippier in along with Pogba's replacement Neves with Pogba going to PSG after they get their Mbappe money.
Yeah same to be honest, I didn't think it was transfer related, and I am a massive muppet.
There's another signing coming, I feel it. Actually don't think it's going to be Trippier either...
Always thought Rio was a massive muppet, he's now getting in on the act as well!
I took that more as they're going to do some sort of show or countdown to deadline with Fab Rom.
It's handy that Trippier and Saul both play for the same club though.
What's mad about that? Rio knows something, I feel it in my bones!
CR7 coming home has absolutely set me right off. I am convinced we're going to get our midfielder
Yeah, obviously a 36 year old can look past it in a hurry, but there's no real statistical evidence for his decline and certainly only Kane and Lukaku look to be in his class this season among proper 9s in the Prem.
That would be such an anticlimax.
He scored more goals in Serie A than a 28 year old , £100 million pound Lukaku though..
I was wondering if Utd would sell Pogba if Mbappe leaves and PSG offer say €80mil. Neves wouldnt be a bad shout as hes Portuguese as well. Though a proper DM destroyer would be handy.
Yeah, Kane’s best ever season was once over 40 goals, Ronaldo got 36 and 37 in the last 2. In fairness a 36 year Ronaldo is a better player than anyone not named Messi and possibly Neymar.
We might end up with 5. i think it's inconceivable we sell Dalot without bringing a replacement.
Midfield is a must anyway.
Midfield is a must anyway.
Camavinga could be in play. Signing Ronaldo will make us more attractive to potential signings.
True. Dalot doesn't walk out the door unless Trippier is coming in.
Trippier is a maybe for me. But, I suspect a midfield signing is definitely going to be made.
My prediction: Camavinga on deadline day, he's seen as a worthwhile investment because of his potential and the little risk attached. If however he opts not to join us, think that United will pull the trigger on getting Saul in on loan. Either way, I'm convinced one of these two are coming in.
Lewandoski is better than Kane though
I dont think it's mad. I feel like a midfielder is on the cards as well.What's mad about that? Rio knows something, I feel it in my bones!
CR7 coming home has absolutely set me right off. I am convinced we're going to get our midfielder
I reckon he's completely understanding but imagine being Tom Heaton after this transfer window for the club.
Someone said it in another thread can't rememebr where otherwise I'd quote it. But getting a midfielder too would be ruthless and exactly what we need to make the team genuine contenders for the PL and CL. Surely the expense it would take would be well worth it to complete the team. Don't quit while we're ahead.
Our initial outlay this summer is something like £40? Received a little for Lukaku.
All summer we've heard sell before we buy but today shows money is there for the right one.
If the naysayers are correct - and they might well be - and nobody else now comes in - what if, just what if, they have played everyone and Pogba signs a new deal on deadline day instead of before just to mess with everyone?
I think I would lose my shit.
I think I would lose my shit.
Back to front that considering lewa is much better than Kane.
I suppose one way to look at it is that bringing Ronaldo in makes the likes of Martial and Lingard even more sellable. And if we were to make those sort of sales, a midfield signing becomes viable. Lingard at least should generate offers, you'd think.
As for Trippier, if we found someone willing to commit enough to Dalot then I'm sure that would be doable.
Just depends on if anyone is buying our players.

Same
Nah Håland going to PSG if Mbappe moves to Real.
Agreed that it makes us more likely to sell Lingard. Martial or James also possible outs now.
The issue with Trippier isn't Dalot really. It's that Madrid are pricing him out of a move.
