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?

I remember watching him against Arsenal this season, he was fantastic.

On the bright side, at least we'd have a player who Costa wouldn't want to feck with.
Yes please. He's one of the most talented RBs.

Aye he's a bit mad.
There are many factors in play that can force their hand: the carter to other players (David Luiz swiftly moved after they decided it's time for Marquinos to become starter); players no longer wants to stay & not starter so not worth the trouble to make them happy (Lavezzi, Sakho, Digne, Jesse...). PSG can always throw the money and get some reinforcement when they want.

Was great at the WC. Though, Darmian was also very good but hasn't worked out for us. Would be happy enough with the signing if we can get him at a decent price. Think PSG bought him for some 6m Euros.
I mean Rojo and Bailly are mad bastards as well. Might as well get a nutter LB and finish the circle
Valencia is a fantastic right back, but he cannot dribble (he often relies on bursts of pace) or cross. Having an actual attacking outlet on the right could add so much.
I agree. I like Valencia myself but I feel if we had full backs who were good in attack, it would bring us to another level. So if we get Semedo or Aurier I'd be delighted. I think Valencia would be happy being a backup at this time in his career anyway.
I like him but losing our starting RB and CB for AFCON will be annoying.
Dribbling for a right back is just about to bring the ball forward by beating his men. Whether you want to say Valencia cannot dribble, but he's still effectively bringing the ball forward by beating his men, that's what matters.
@Downcast how likely is this?
He is undoubtedly better than both Valencia and Darmian. His crossing and ability to beat a man is incredible. Although I rate Valencia very highly, I think this guy is better interms of attacking. Defensively he is as good as anybody. I can see why people are worried about his demeanor though.
Good player but definitely do not want, to say he would be difficult to manage would be calling mountain a molehill, i would rather have semedo who we are interested in by the looks of it, equally talented and younger not to mention not being a pain in the a$$ like aurier is a massive plus.
That Ivory Coast link with bailly though 
STOP THISSSS !!!!! please
Aurier good at what ?
He' not better than Valencia, neither offensively or defensively. Do you know how he's criticized here in France for his displays ? AND his behavior in the team?
Since he's back from AFCON, he lost his place to Meunier (who's not Dani Alves).
He's very good physically which is probably why you all see him very good, but he can't cross, he doesn't give proper assist.
But overall, his behavior off the pitch his ridiculous. He's behaving like a thug, coming from the ghettos, riding a Ferrari and earning millions.
I don't like him, and I don't want to be represented by this kind of player. He may be good, and if his head is calmed down by a Mourinho or so, he may developp better, but his behavior is not what we want and what we need.

How long is left on his contract?
Wow what a signing this would be. If this is the type of players we are after and someone like Douglas Costa/Dembele for RW... we are in for a classic second season Jose transfer window
He's better than Valencia at crossing at the very least and dribbles much better (more comfortable on the ball).
I somewhat doubt that. Isn't he second fiddle at PSG? And he should be better then the best right back in the EPL this season?
So does he still have to serve his 2 month jail sentence or has he served it?

This is not my idea of a good signing so hope it is not true.

Mourinho can make him a world class RB, however his behaviour is awful, and thats coming from someone who has lived in the "ghetto" for the biggest part of his life, he is an idiot. Cant understand what drives him to his actions at all.
Ivory Coast.
That's my problem. Imagine him and Bailly becoming almost irreplaceable in our defence and then Africa Cup of Nations comes and they have to leave for 6 weeks.
We had better have a very deep squad to manage such a period.
African players tend to be very good but the Nations Cup's timing every two years, can be a problem for clubs.

He's a bit of a nut job but he's a cracking player, would be reluctant to say no at €20m, especially considering his and Valencia's ages.
Just sign him
We already have a deep squad
He is second fiddle at PSG strictly because of the cluelessness of their current manager
Last I remember he was denied entry to Britain for Arsenal match...he has some charges against him in France.
Quality player, flammable personality. He will either die for Mourinho or try to kill him.

Is L'Equipe reliable? If it is, €20m for Aurier in today's market is a bargain.
It's looking like Darmian will leave. It appears like a few Italian clubs are keen on signing and let's face it, he hasn't exactly been consistently good this season. Tony V is of course not young anymore and the way he plays (very physical) means once his pace and energy wane, he will almost become useless as a wing back. This is the best time to start bringing in a successor for him.
It's not from L'Equipe, apparently they're just quoting an Ivorian source.
20m?? That's a fecking steal. If Jose could sort his attitude out we'd have one of the best talents in his position for peanuts.
Darmian has his uses, could see him leaving but could just as easily see him staying as a backup for both and playing that defensive man marking role in certain games.
Would he even get granted a visa?
Top RB... when he wants !
Isn't his attitude really shit? Didn't he have a problem with Zlatan also at PSG?
Really good player but too many question marks over him.

We need more fight in this team plus we will become even more hated. He seems a bit crazy but he's very talented and 20 million is a bargain. He can improve a lot as well because he's 24. Valencia is 32 this year and won't keep going forever. Very clever from jose mourinho if this is true.
