In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
Carlos has very poorly used the drop shot all day today.
Christ 
What a point holy feck.. that's sexy tennis.
Wtf. How did he do that?
Should never have lost this point. Basically Djokovic has to screw up to lose while Alcaraz has to get everything right.
He usually plays it from a dominant position, today it's a way out of a rally he doesn't feel comfortable in. Way too many on the backhand too.
The best defender in the world even at 36. Astonishing stuff Nokak.
He's hit it 33% all tournament before the Medvedev game. He should probably avoid, but at the same time does need to bring that creativity against Novak.
Tragic Nole fan
The greatest
Incredible
Alcaraz is going to beat himself. Silly shot choices and launching his cross court forehands long. He’s done that 5 or 6 times now.
Novak is a fecking robot. Gets to everything. He’s insufferable…but impressive.

Seeing Novak not return three serves in a row is quite something.
The level Novak is playing at is ridiculous.
Big hold, still favour Djoko to hold and win the tie break.
I don't think he's been at his very best this set tbh. He's not been serving very well.
Utter immense set of Tennis regardless of which way it swings.
Alcaraz has no sense of how to pressure his opponent.
Multiple second serves going wide because he wants to hit the winner.

Carlitos gonna lose this tie break more than likely...
Meh. Too many unreturned serves from Carlos in that. For Carlos to win a TB vs Novak would be quite incredible.
Novak won't lose 3 sets in a row, now or never!
Unnecessarily pulling the trigger there to go down the early mini break.
Sigh... was hoping to see a 4 setter but don't believe that is gonna happen today. Novak in straights it seems.
The umpire has the poshest voice you'll ever hear.
Alcaraz isn’t really good enough as a shot maker yet to be as adventurous as he is ? Doesn’t seem to me that he has that one viscous weapon (serve, forehand or backhand) to get as frustrated / going for the killer shot as he does.
Clearly haven't heard me talking.
After all that Novak plays a shit shot - a rarity!
Why does Andy Murray get to rock up in his Sunday casuals while everyone else suited and booted?
A rare UE and poor drop from Novak there.
It works for him against most of the field so he continues to do it vs Novak also.
Come on Alcy win this set.
Does Alcaraz have a nickname? Alcy isnt it.

Alcaraz is the real deal unlike some of the other hyped kids from recent years, just a bit impulsive at bad times, but the base game is there for him to dominate the next 7-8 years.
Impressive TB from Carlos after going 3 down. Can he get a mini break now?!
Aiaiai these dropshots
Haha time violation
This is what I never liked when it came to Rafa also. These chair umpires wait till REALLY crucial moments to drop violations. Why not do it earlier?
Sorry Novak, but watching you serve is an absolute chore.
He's just turned 20 so it's understandable.
We should go against the grain and make a nickname for the last part of his name instead of the first.
Araz! Raz?
Haha about time!
