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?
Hojlund can score here and silence his haters
Games fecking gone. Stopping the game because of lightening for safety reasons? 
Would make electrifying TV.
'Extreme weather'
Depends if there is lightening about. It isn't the rain.
It’s clearly because of the lightning rather than not wanting to get wet
It depends why exactly it was stopped
Too dangerous to stand on the pitch during a thunderstorm. Let's move 10 yards over to the dugout where it's perfectly safe to stand.
Danes have experienced a player being hit by lightning during a match.
Some of the fans will have soaking wet through tops….
Over to you Mr Cameraman…
Over to you Mr Cameraman…
Why is there a break? (oh the storm, sorry)
First time I've ever seen a game paused because of lightning.
Doesn’t the stadium have a roof that can close?
Multiple players have died in stadiums due to lightening strikes
Lightning.
this went well !!
Who is winning on Duck worth Lewis method?
With a storm like that of course it is.
Very very frightening
I've never seen this happen before. Thought they'd just have some rods atop the stadium or something.
Agree. Just a nice bloke who adds a wholesome quality to proceedings
This will be postponed
And also this:
I didn’t hear the thunder
I saw the lightning on the screen though just then. Coincidentally, I was looking up Wikipedia articles about thunder and lightning earlier today.
Seems like it has indeed been suspended.
Really? Never heard of that.
everyone else remain where they stand, but it's not safe for players.
He can?
Old Trafford is better than this
I attended a Copa America match in Chicago in 2016 that got suspended for at least half an hour due to lightning. Very rare though.
There have been deaths on the pitch due to lightning.
Germany should forfeit. Only reasonable.
Eriksen
Those pictures of water pouring down… looks like Old Trafford
Games fecking gone. Stopping the game because of lightening for safety reasons?
You just know Arteta will use these as tactical breaks next season.
Games fecking gone. Stopping the game because of lightening for safety reasons?
can’t even be electrocuted these days.
Unlike that tool Danny Murphy on the beeb. A more insufferable prat it would be hard to find.
Yeah, I remember when Terry Butcher got struck by lightning during an England match and just walked it off. Bunch of wussesGames fecking gone. Stopping the game because of lightening for safety reasons?
No defenders on the pitch, it's his chance
So the crowd can get fecked ….so long as the players are safe?
