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.

From Raiola??
If he brings me De Ligt and a new Pogba contract, he can do what he wants.
The propaganda campaign has gone from done and dusted over a month ago to face saving measures the past week or so.
He’s ours.
Shawcross, Longstaff and James. Thats it.
Players are easily led by experienced agents, and Mr. Gabagool is probably the best at inflating their values so he can collect his fee.
Exactly, If he only wanted Barca then there would be no problem regardless of whats being offered by others.
Typical Spanish whining cnuts.
Spanish press are even more immature than their British counterparts which you would think would be impossible. I hope if we do sign him he comes out with the truth and rubbishes all these claims. I doubt he would want to burn his bridges in Spain though.
This. The whole idea that the evil agent is stopping the player coming to the amazing barca is a little nauseating.
Have you applied for Woodward's transfer assistant position? You'd pass the interviewing round with flying colors after he gets into full muppet mode with your plan.
He has liked 2 PSG players on Instagram today. Now I’m too old to care about Instagram myself but I know the younger generation are all over social media. If he’s intelligent (which I believe he is), than he’s basically teasing us all with this ‘which club next’ crap. I’d rather we let this kid go to Barca where he’ll play for 15 years without being a legend- better than pissing about every contract renewal with a boy who thinks he’s bigger than he is. Arrogance at such an early stage isn’t a good thing. Cantona was already a world class talent, this kid was leading a team that lost a 3-0 lead in 45 mins to a Tottenham team missing its best player. He’s not bloody Maldini.
Yep, this tends to be forgotten. And although it was just one game, it also the case that so far he's only played in one of Europe's weaker leagues, so I tend to think that the potential transfer fees and wages being bandied for him are based on somewhat shaky foundations.
Any buying club will need to be careful they don't end up with an over-priced player that they won't later be able to shift.
Who were the two players out of interest?
That's what we specialize at

We sat down, but he didn’t manage to close the deal.
Without looking, I’m hoping meunier and rabiot... agent De Ligt at work.
In fairness, Romero himself did say United have made a very good offer for De Ligt, which is more significant than the thread title suggesting nothing is happening.
That was a while back. We don’t want to feed false narratives that something may or may not happen based on old info.
He does imo. Let’s face it, most would love him as an agent. Zlatan, Pogba et al are no fools.
Football is a short career and I’d want my agent to be a master negotiator. I mean you’re selling yourself short if you have a novice.
Exactly, if he tells Raiola to stop hawking him around and sign the contract with Barce it would get done. I swear people forget these agents work for the players and not the other way around.
We've been burned and used a few too many times for me to get excited. He'd be a fantastic signing for us but it feels too good to be true. Fingers crossed though.
We can get get it done on the first day of the transfer window mate just say yes 
Somebody named Mark Ogden from ESPN reckons he agreed to join Barca 2 months ago, its all done and dusted and Utd know that. Then we have De Ligt with these comments. Somebodys telling porkies.
I hope this is not it one of the transfer sagas that last the whole summer . If he doesn't accept our offer by end of next week we need to publicly move on. We can't waste a full summer waiting for one guy. There are other options and other positions that we need to focus on especially in midfield.
Can we announce this now ?
fecking feel sickened. Get him in.
Did Mark Ogden just say this now or was this his view 2 months ago?
Probably means for him the advancement for transfers isn't open yet because his season is still ongoing with Netherlands.
Silly season has well and truly begun..
"I've decided to sign for the Champions League winners"...
Please, anything but that.
Please, anything but that."I've decided to sign for the Champions League winners"...
Ha. Him and Van Dijk together.
It's on: https://www.fifatms.com/itms/worldwide-transfer-windows-calendar/
The Fifa TMS system date for Netherlands and England open on 11 June. For Spain 1st July, so if he signs for us it will have to be after 11 June, if nothing happens fora number of days after that, he is going Barca, they have around a month to work on his transfer if he is going there. But I think he is hinting about the transfer system dates and maybe also that we are doing earlier preseason than Barca? And he wants to join sooner to his new club.
No, I get the transfer window is actually open, but he doesn't want to focus on his own transfer business until he's closed his own season off - i.e. played in the Nations League final.
Has Liverpool written all over him I think
LFC just bought Van Dyke not too long ago so I doubt they would spunk out 70-80m plus 250k in wages for another high profile defender.
Also vvd is on 175k a week . No way MDL settlers for anything less than 200
Liverpool aren't going to be focusing on signing high profile CBs like De Ligt. They'll want to focus on getting attacking midfielders and adding depth to the squad.
Relegating Matip to the bench is a great way of adding depth.
