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.

I remember him making fun of another team having a Moroccan in their squad. It was Arsenal I think.
Can we just sack woody already.
We'll probably refuse to pay a penny over £27,999,999...
Are Bayern gonna play 3 central defenders this season?
If bayern are in for him we have no chance. This is what happens when you wait till the end of the window to sign players. It's really looking more and more like the last month of last summers window.
Sport1 is shit and Bayern are mostly as cheap as United, so relax guys. Can't see them spending that much on a CB
Didn't they spend big money of Javi Martinez who is now playing as a centre back? (And injured)
Like we did with Herrera, because it's Bilbao and they won't sell for less than the release-clause? True.
They bought him as a CM though. And he was very successful his first season there.
It was just Pep who Mascherano'd him last season amongst his injuries while playing Lahm in midfield and buying Thiago to play there.
Bayern only have Dante and Boateng as their central defenders. Javi Martinez are out for the rest of the year and Badstuber has recently started playing again after being injured for 18 months. So Bayerna re in a need of a defender, the only "problem" is that they then have to put either Boateng or Dante on the bench if playing with only 2 central defenders, are they willing to do that? They need a less good defender in my opinion, who can cover for Boateng and Dante.
Exactly.
Yeah, but they were as cheap as us with Herrera and made him pay a bit of the transfer deal with lower wages.
If I was Manchester United's person in charge of transfers and a club asks me for 30m, I would give them 35m just to be sure. We're in that kind of situation right now since if this is true and Bayern do indeed get him, it just keeps showing that whenever there's another club interested, we just can't cut it.
Sure.
I'm just saying I don't see any real indicators why bayern wouldn't spend big on defence but we would.
Well, we're in more of a need than Bayern, even if they play a 3-man defence this season they still got Boateng, Badstuber, Dante and Alaba who played there. Whereas we have Evans, Smalling, Jones and Blackett, so I'd say we're more in the mood of overpaying than them. Which wouldn't really hurt me, Benatia is class.
This is looking more and more like another bull shit effort from out CEO.
Get this sorted!
Get this sorted!
I think sometimes tweets are made up to cause a panic with the club that is in talks for a player to force a price hike or to cause a panic with the fans of said club!
This signing should've been wrapped up weeks ago. He didn't have the world cup to think about and it's a reasonable price. Woodward is a disaster.
100% agree
Like I said in twitter thread.
You have to applaud Bayern if true. They have a meeting on Friday on who to replace Martinez and get it done quickly.

This looks like a "go for it, get it done, reap the rewards" type of deal by Bayern again, like they did with Thiago or Götze. They're good at this.
Yep, they don't tend to feck around.
Off to the Ron Vlaar thread!
Are we actually in for him?
The shitstorm in here if Bayern manage to sign Benatia
Clearly. We left it too late and have been shown how it's done by Bayern.
Don't even think we are in for him only Jim White reported it. Sounded too good to be true, we don't do transfers like this anymore.
Useless by us yet again!
This would really piss me off to no ends if he goes to Bayern. They just decided to get him on Friday FFS whereas it seems like we've been in for him for a while!
Honestly, I don't know. But if not, then why not. Continually good players are passing us by at good prices. In the meantime, we're stuck with players who aren't at the level required. This could be yesterday's result talking but it just feels like we're not doing enough to correct obvious problems.

I hope for a shitstorm at Old Trafford tbh.
