In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood), Jamie (@Vault Dweller) and Ed (@That'sHernandez) are here to give their reaction just hours after the news has broke. Where did it all go wrong for ETH? What's next for United? and what were the highlights?
They also react to United's loss away at West Ham, including a breakdown of that ridiculous VAR decision.

Sporting hadn't been at the top in 2 decades, the eredivisie has been Ajax's birthright almost throughout their history (Like Bayern in Germany)
Very different contexts there
Winning with Sporting in a stronger league is much more of an accomplishment.
What was sold to us was that Liverpool didn't like some of his demands and opted for the bald Dutch guy not named Ten Hag.
Turning 1 striker in to a beast doesnt mean he will be able to do the same with another, ETH turned Seb Haller in to a beast but couldnt do the same with Hojlund.
Follow Pep or money
As usual Ballbag spouting nonsense.
Way too early to club him with Shaw. He played a lot of games in his first season. If he spends the rest of this season injured then your point might have more credibility.
Great to hear. Thanks man. Sorry for your loss and him not being able to finish what he started.
Im really excited to see him at OT.
Wondering what achievement will be brought up in 2 years time to his defense
You're welcome Mr Pigeon
We finally seem to be getting a proper footballing structure in place with young, dynamic staff.
Woke up to the frustration of Ten Hag still being manager
Then during the day the satisfaction that he's finally sacked
Now in the evening, sheer exhilaration that Amorim is actually coming in.
What a difference a day made

It's not like Ten Hag had MUCH more impressive CV than Amorim, when he joined us
United is where managers' careers die
If he leaves this will really hurt us. I'm getting depressed already. Amorim was a game changer for us. Losing him to United, combining that with losing our DoF to Citeh and probably Gyokeres to Arsenal or Chelsea going by the rumors and we will probably finish 4th next year!
If things go badly I can see a lot of people getting upset with the 3 at the back, possibly in the media as there'll be references to the United teams of old and United DNA and all that. People didn't like it in LvG's first season.
As others have said though it's supposedly more of a 3-4-3 with wingers so we'll see. Personally I've never been convinced that 3 at the back is some grave insult to attacking football- it depends how it's set up. That Liverpool team of the mid 90s were very attacking and their defence was often shite but they played some good football in a 5-3-2 (won feck all though
). I guess it all depends on the intent.I bet, you will be posting angrily to sack Amorim, before June
Be wary of micro updates. Plettigol for example said Amorim isn't leaving mid season, 2 hours before the exclusive that he was open to doing so.
I think the wingbacks in his system are pretty much wingers. Thanks to the two CDMs there's plenty of steele behind the ball when they move up. It's a fairly balanced system.
Playing 3 at the back and your striker is cack that’s amorim
Can’t attack Down the wing cause we’re shite at crossing that’s amorim
Can’t play at good tempo cause they’re so fecking slow that’s Amorim
But he’ll win the league cup and the fans will say yup that’s Amorim
No to 352, but if he’s not wedded to that then I’m more open. Xavi would have been my preferred option. I think he’s the sort of manager we need to completely destroy this Bruno/Rashford ball that has become our culture. He might not be the best, but if he did that at least then I’d be pleased.
Amorim I’m indifferent, happy to give him a chance as I appreciate his achievements in Portugal. But no to 352 for me.

Too good to be true.
Based on my expertise of having watched a couple of tactical analysis videos, it seems Hojlund could be a great fit for Amorim's style of having a lone striker who can run channels. I remember seeing Hojlund doing a lot of that when he was at Atalanta and barely got to do it in ETH's team where he was basically assigned to stay in the middle and hold up the ball. And he has the pace and physicality to do it as well.
Ballbag always likes pissing on our parade, it's almost like he is Abu Dhabi's mouthpiece
Got a funny feeling we don’t end up getting him, mainly because I’ve allowed myself to be “all in” on this move!
That's false.
Why do you you say that? And what do you bet?I bet, you will be posting angrily to sack Amorim, before June
Suprised by your lack of enthusiasm for a real reaction. Oh you will have to get used to the 352. I remember I was skeptical as well but got converted.
I couldn't give a flying feck what formation we play as long as it's effective.
As if the formation is the thing that matters
First I heard of him was when Liverpool were linked to him.
Researching him today on YouTube. He does seem to have a steely personality. Have no idea what his coaching or his style of play is. But he does have a “presence” about him. Don’t think the media will making “suite too big for him” comments as they did with ETH.

Hopefully he won’t show favour to Portuguese players like Dalot. I can’t wait to see the back of him.
I'm thinking this too, we are not getting him, in saying that, does Ruud deserve a shot
The reports from all the most reputable outlets, are that he's agreed a deal, no? This guy is talking utter horseshite.
Really? Dalot is a big problem now?
Balague genuinely doesn't have a clue. Not worth listening to.
I forgot this guy even existed. Has he been relevant at all in the last 10 years?
Something tells me the one fullback we have who is capable of staying fit for an entire season is unlikely to be in trouble for a while.
Add His 13 game stint at Braga where he won 10 Drew 1 lost 2 and won their Donestic cup and he has 180 wins from 250 matches or a 72% Win rate, impressive?
