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?!

If only the team sports were so simple, if only…
Did we own Ronaldo's image rights last time we were here? I dont think we did and was one of the contentious issues when he wanted to join Real, that they have their stars sign over their image rights, i'm not sure we've ever have quite the same with our players.
Don't see the club falling for it and most fans, on here at least, seem quite sensible about all of this.
Some are the sort whose girlfriend dumps them and even 10 years later when she is married with three kids thinks she is coming back.
I guess most of us are just hypothesizing if he comes. We should focus on other targers first to be realistic.
Chelsea and PSG are also pursuing perisic. Costa is born in 1990. Perisic in 1989. A year younger. Costa costs £44m too according to reports. In terms of talent there is barely any difference and perisic is more effective
If next time you see her she has a baby bump. It's definitely over.She's only got 2 kids. Are you telling me there's a chance?
I thought they were just rumours
Here's looking at you kid.....or not.
Have you seriously watched both of them play??
Yeah. Other than the 2 months under Pep, he has been average most of his Bayern career
The Morata delay was always an easy story to conjure up.
Real are not selling Ronaldo.... Unless they are reasonable with their pricing, they know he aint leaving

Bleh. I'd much rather Belotti or Aubameyang.
400m 
I'll take him over Morata any day. The guy averages close to 30 goals per season in the last 4 years, he's a top striker.
We were pretty strong at times in the league last year. All those draws where we dominated games would become 3 points with Ronaldo in the side. He's just that bloody good.
good, hopefully one of them gets him instead of us. I said younger, which he is, and I said likely to cost less, which we'll see. regarding talent, we're in total disagreement.
However you judge his performances but to claim that Perisic is almost as talented as Costa is just grossly overestimating Perisic.
I tend to agree but a lot of people seem to rate Costa massively.
We DEFINITELY win the league with Ronaldo in our team. It wouldnt be a question of if, but when. Still an irrelevant question considering we're not signing him.
So you want us to miss out on our main target?
I really don't understand some people in here. It looks like people are more interested on us getting players they want and not those that the manager has targeted and would work best in the system he wants to play.
The players we as fans should want us to get are the players the manager needs to implement his system.
So much talented that his goal scoring record is laughable even though he played for the best teams in the league?
if our main target is as underwhelming as Perisic? yes, i do. also, i would have assumed we already missed out on our main target this year, that being Griezmann, no? or do you mean current one? if so, how do we know Morata isn't the priority?
there's no diagrams or complicated equations to solve and understand, it's pretty simple really, people are interested in getting good footballers, and i'd assume most of us here, a football forum, which is stomping ground for hardcore followers of the game, watch enough football to have a relatively substantiated opinion on some players. For clarification, I'm not saying Perisic is a terrible or bad player even, I just prefer Costa and think he is much more talented player and more likely to get us playing the type of football i'd like to see us playing.
the notion that because a manager wants a player it means they would work well or better in their system is flawed not matter how many times it gets posted here, managers are not infallible, and as it has been repeated ad nauseam, Mourinho has had his share of transfer flops.
I don't know why people are trying to argue me down into thinking Perisic is the guy we need or something. I'm underwhelmed by Perisic, A. Gomes and Dier and think there are better options available, and that's ok. Besides, if we all were to get on board whenever the manager thinks/does/wants something then there wouldn't be much point to discussion on the forum.
Would be very happy with this. His goal record speaks for itself.
We would also beat Arsenal to his signature and I think he would thrive under Arsene.
If he wasn't that talented why would the best teams in the league go for him?? Even now Juventus want him. What exactly has Perisic achieved in his career so far??
Yes Costa isn't the best goalscorer but he has skill and pace that can open up a defense and attract defenders towards him opening space for others. Sometimes stats don't tell the whole story. If you've seen him play you would know that.
I've seen both Perisic and Costa play plenty of times and its obvious Costa is a far more talented player. Maybe Jose sees something in Perisic that would fit Utd and fair enough, he's our manager he knows what the team needs. Perisic may even turn out to be a great signing but to claim that he's as talented a player as Costa is just wrong imo.
What's your stance on Ronaldo's potential departure?
Doing flicks and dribbling doesnt mean more talented. His end product is laughably poor for an attacker.
My question is how much leverage does Madrid have to demand 200m Euros for a 32 year old? Even if he's the best in the world and signed a new contract recently, I would imagine Ronaldo and Mendes have a lot of influence here.
If Ronaldo is serious about leaving, no bullshite this time and decides he wants to play for United or PSG, the buying club would know that they can offer more favorable terms (say 100m pounds). Now Madrid can just outright decline any offer and tell Ronaldo he's not leaving but an unhappy Ronaldo considering his stature and influence would be a grenade in a locker room and can significantly hurt morale and team chemistry.
Maybe the type of football the manager wants to play is different from yours and hence the players he is targeting.
I agree with what you are saying but I believe a manager will be in a better position to judge a player's ability compared to us as fans.
The manager is also in a better position to know who will fit HIS system better, in this case it's Perisic over Costa.
It is possible that Griezmann was our main target to play as a 10, Perisic our main target to play as a winger, Dier as a DM. Does this make Perisic a lesser target than Griezmann or any other player we are after? I don't think so.
It is okay to feel this way but to wish that our manager misses out on his main target is definitely not okay. After all we only miss out on players we are after.
All the players that we as fans might want but the manager doesn't, we didn't miss out on them.
This is all just too silly words, & the sooner we distance ourselves form any interest in this nonsense the better, your club really is a pain in the arse for us Carvajal.
Marketing is more than just shirt sales. Pretty much anything the club sell. Adverts etc etc. They would easily make more than they spend.
That's that what marketing is. Just shirt sales...
Amazing there are people who actually think the only way you can market the world's greatest player is through shirt sales.
Nah he doesn't give anything more even if he does have more talent. Anyway according to me doing more dribbles doesn't equate to more talent. It depends heavily on end product.
Having more talent has no relevance if you can't translate it to end product. If you don't have the end product, it's useless doing stepovers and dribbles.
They just tend to base it on his initial months at Bayern imo. Then his one game in CL where he destroyed bellerin against arsenal. Most Bayern fans seem to call him one dimensional and unreliable.
