In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Can anybody see Arsenal going back in for Higuain? No Champions League for Napoli, might be tempted....
Yeah the Alonso stuff was too. In fact Ancelloti came out and said he wanted to keep Benzema. However this is RM, and if they sign Falcao Carlo is going to be forced to play him ahead of Benzema... that changes quite a lot new contract or not.
They don't have any other backup to Falcao though even if they get him ?
Cavani needs one too many chances to score.
I always thought Falcao was some sort of cult hero at Atletico.
Loyalty eh..
Loyalty eh..
either there is a leak (5%) or else they re simply making assumptions (95%)
There was a stat earlier on twitter, he has been involved in nearly 50% of our goals since he has been here...
At times the selling club briefs the media as well to let other clubs know and start a bidding war.
You have to look at the journalist who is reporting the story to be able to have a decent guess at whether a story is made up.
Lets just say I wouldve been content if we only had Shinji in that role and given him the chances there. Mata will get more patience as we know beter what he is capable of producing in this league.
But we move on, Mata is our man and undoubtedly quality. I hope, like you, we can get the best out of him.
and those wages tho
Spurs on a mission to stockpile keepers.
People expected Mata to be the solution to our problems when our problems are related to the midfield (lack of steel and quality), the wings (lack of quality) and the defense (lack of experience). Mata has certainly improved us but we're having to build a new nucleus. As van Gaal said, that takes longer than one month. This summer has been fantastic in addressing that lack of a core. If we could get Carvalho or Vidal before the window closes, I think we'd have a quality team again, but one which will take time to gel.
Mata's more your icing on the cake signing, but he was signed before we managed to address the key weaknesses in our squad so people have been underwhelmed, but watching our games objectively, he's involved in all of our build-up play and is an important source of goals and makes up a lot of our chances created from central areas.

yeah, how about #freewilly then?Yep that too. Easily frees up cash to get Big Willy or the boy from Chile
Well yeah but that didn't make any sense
Mata hasn't been at his best but he can at least keep contributing while he (or the team) aren't playing well. His stats since joining show that.
There's no reason to think Mata won't step up with a proper team around him. The same can't be said for Kagawa, who has never inspired that sort of trust in the time he's been here.
I agree with Neville in that Di Maria will help Mata. Spreading the play, creating space and having genuine pace in behind will all help Mata.
This can go two ways, we pay up for Vidal and then they can afford him, or RM buy Vidal and then the same (Juve buy Falcao)
He's said his good byes apparently but which is the English club?
Spurs were liked earlier today.
BTW, Tancredi has been removed from the banned list.
Spurs pulled out today according to Sky. Apparently they were interested along with West Ham and their ''one last big signing'' budget.
Bloody hell , I really hope falcao doesn't go to either city or arsenal.
Could Juve really afford his wages? They are astronomical even in Monaco, imagine what it will be in Italy!
Aguero, Jovetic, Dzeko and Negredo plus FFP.
Not a hope in hell City are getting him.
Nor do they need him. Plenty of goals in their current group of strikers.
why go for Negredo, when they can have Falcao?
Because they have spent a fortune already and had already spent the Di Maria money and believe it or not they actually recognise what Benzema brings to the side.
Well that came out of nowhere.I wish I had too. God damn kids . . .
That's what she said... when you only lasted 10 seconds... i'll get my coat...
