In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran discuss a horrific month of December and a depressing FOUR defeats in a row - the latest coming against Wolves and Newcastle.
They discuss how much blame is on Ruben Amorim and rank our squad against other Premier League teams.
Do we have any chance of avoiding defeat at Anfield?
Smokescreen for someone equally shit but less racist. Obvious 4D chess move by the club.
Imagine the highlight of your summer transfer window being that you’re not signing an over-the-hill racist.
We really have hit a new low.

It's a solid move, find someone as shit and cheap but not a racist so people will call that progress
Haven’t paid attention to this saga, what did Neville say?
Best news of the summer.... How depressing
oh thank you Jesus.
Apparently there's a young striker named Grayson Memewood who may become available soon
The fact that The Athletic are reporting that fan backlash is one of the reasons United pulled out of this deal, is probably also a pretty good indication that a certain 20yo striker from Wibsey will never play for the club again.
At least our pull out game is strong
An inadvertent masterstroke in that I now see any other potential signings with a different perspective. As long as they're not actively awful, fine.
Nothing actually. He said this is the first thing ever that has left him speechless.
Just said no comment and burst out laughing. What more did he need to say?
I don't think a 33yo coming back from the china leagues is comparable to one of the brightest talents of his generation
Another blunder by ETH. After the disastrous performance, it seems his judgments are being questioned and overruled everyday.
And now Rabiot
Well I'm chuffed to bits that we have finally seen sense and pulled out, one thing that now worries me is, this guy was top of the current list of attacking players, so whoever is next is further down, this could be terrible! I hope not
What is Nile Ranger up to these days?
SIUUU, close thread.
I don't think it will make any significant difference. Much of the opposition to Arnautovic was independent of his ability (or lack thereof) as a player. There are some things (indeed many things) that are simply more important than football. Anyway, I'm glad this prospective deal has collapsed.
A complete debacle. Questions need to be asked about our scouting.
We're quick to call off a deal the fans don't want but take 20 weeks to close a deal the fans do want...
My 2am email to Richard Arnold seems to have worked.
We did it, folks, get to feck Arnautovic!
I hadn't seen the racist implications. Might make a little more sense then if he's been 'cancelled'.
Good. Would've been impossible to cheer the team on with this dickhead in the squad.
Like Sue Cook, we have pulled out
It wasn't the scouting. Ten Hag and McLaren worked with him at Twente and like his physicality as they believe we're too soft up top. The board were looking into signing him for them until the racism stuff came to light.
This shouldn't be forgotten and the club really shouldn't be let off the hook.
We can keep in mind going forward that all of the bullshit about the club upping their due diligence and doing their homework on players' background is just that, bullshit.

I dread to think who is further down the priority list than Arnautovic...

Marko Arnautović | United have pulled out
After this shite transfer season I wish my dad had pulled out ffs

Don’t you have the tatoo as well ?
Looks clean. Looks like a bit of a player with the ladies, but otherwise OK
Feel like sending an email to complain anyway
Do it. The more the better.
Club pulled a Rabiot out of a hat with this one
Yeah, he is not a bad player, improved a lot, highly skilled at 360 but too old, expensive, injury prone and inconsistent
For the racist thing I dunno, he hates albanian?
The club should not be applauded for pulling out of this deal, they should be lambasted to feck for even trying to push it through in the first place. Cretins.
Mastercalss from our board. They've made us celebrate not signing players
Delighted we’ve pulled out of the deal.
Disgusted with the club & Erik for even bidding in the first place.
Either it’s amateur hour and they did absolutely no background checks before pursuing the deal, or they did and thought it wasn’t that big of a deal. Either way it’s a damming indictment of how badly this club is run.
