In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to celebrate rare back-to-back victories for Manchester United! They analyse the late win in the Europa League vs. Rangers and then try and find things to analyse in a pretty dour game vs. Fulham. They also chat about the latest Marcus Rashford news, and look at the latest transfer news.

OK Marcus
He didn't though did he?
He signed the contract
That doesn't mean he wanted to join mid season. Just that he accepted the terms offered.
The team looked devoid of any ideas going forward which was evident in the stats. This was the worst xG this season with the Arsenal league game, 0.03 xG in both games from open play.
He was given an ultimatum.
I feel like over time managers have to pick and choose when yo be candid with the media, when to be subtle, when to hold back and when to give them the quotes they are looking for.
Right now, I like these quotes. He's speaking to me as a fan, and speaking to his players. For too long players have held the power at this club above the managers, and they get away with it. Feck Rashford. He's one of many who should have been binned off a while ago.

Yeah we were toothless. Hojlund is playing like a pub footballer. Zirkzee not much better. We were defensively solid enough though. And we won. Against a team with a decent home record this season. To call it the worst performance of the season is ridiculous.
Last night I actually felt both Amad and Garnacho were playing far wider than we’ve seen from Amorim’s 10s before.
It definitely plays more to Garnacho’s individual strengths, but also contributed to both strikers looking so isolated. I wonder what the thought process was behind it because I don’t think you could say it played out the way he was hoping.
Stop drinking so early in the morning!
Still not the worst. It should have been, but this season has thrown up some absolute stinkers.
You’re late for practice, Marcus.
This is probably the worst drivel I have read on this forum in quite a while....well done
And what you pillock?
Get off Reddit
That renders the original statement pointless, because Amorim obviously didn’t want to join midseason to be the centre of attention. Instead he did it, because it wouldn’t have been possible to join United otherwise.
It absolutely doesn't. It wasn't his preferred option, but he was obviously still fine with it, otherwise he wouldn't have signed
Wake up babe, new pasta just dropped!
Let it go, Marcus, nobody wants to buy you and Amorim has nothing to do with it.
Found a job yet Erik?
Marcus not doing any favors for himself today is he?
If he was as quick with the ball as he is with a mouse and keyboard he'd be banging them in non stop

Weird way to interpret what happened in regards to the original statement that was responded to. The post explicitly alleged that he wanted to join midseason in order to be the centre of attention. The fact that he obviously didn’t and it took the threat of him missing out on the job, shows that it’s not something he wanted, but rather something he accepted in order to get what he wanted. It’s a huge difference and I really don’t see how that’s not obvious.
That's fair, kinda jumped in mid sentence without reading the whole context
Projection is real.
Benfica or Porto?
So? Does that mean I can't point out that you don't actually have a basis for the judgment you expressed?
But okay, let me rephrase that. It's Amorim's call whether the benefits of freezing Rashford out outweighs the cost. To even have an opinion about whether that is a good call, I'd need to see and hear what Amorim sees and hears on the training pitch. And I don't, so....
It looks that way. I'm not sure it quite works as hoped because it means Garnacho finds himself fairly isolated until the LWB (or a CM) gets forward. It also means there's no real link to the striker and other AM as well.
In that sense it looks a bit like our attacking play under ten Hag where our three attackers found themselves quite far away from each other most of the time and everything hinged on a winger going past someone and making the right decision afterwards (which proved difficult).
We did this in, I think, his first game in charge? Or one of his first games. He put Dalot to LWB at half time, but had Dalot cutting into the inside left channel so that Garnacho could go outside left. Im surprised we haven't tried it more often.
1 top striker and winger and the fortunes of this club change drastically.
We need a couple of franchise players in those positions.

It's why you don't tweak systems for individuals. The adaptation crowd are the new United DNA and are going to be the death of these managers. Like we haven't already seen what all our players look like in a freer system
We don't play wingers
I'm not really sure what you're getting at? Are you saying one can't judge a situation by what's unfolding unless he has access to insider information from the training ground? I'll leave you be.
Fair play to him on the Rashford stuff, the club can't allow it to be used as a stick to beat the manager with again and he needs moved out the door.
The football is a real chore to watch though.

I am sure his bubble was already burst having to sit out the last month or so. Pretty obvious we have asked him to find a club for himself. There was no reason to humiliate him in the press conference by saying that he'd put a geriatric before him on the bench. It doesn't help our bargaining position either. We don't need to announce to the world that we are trying to offload a lazy git onto them. Also, Ruben hasn't been exactly going gangbusters, we have won like 4 of his first 12 games. There is no need for this kind of stuff.
The reason was a final attempt to reignite whatever spark he had for playing football before. And this was because its clear he won't be leaving this month.
