In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I think that is what United's main problem has been since Ronaldo left. I've been thinking about making a thread about it, I think our problem is we haven't currently got a single player good and consistent enough to build our team around at the moment.
Bring Hernandez in and start challenge that back four.
One decent spell but apart from that we have been poor, very poor.
Need a drastic change of character, mentality wise, to beat them tonight.

This is the problem with having to drop Rooney like we did. He always takes weeks to get over a set-back, whether it's an injury, ban or whatever. And he'd just hit one of his runs of form as well.
we were OK for first 20 mins but then look outfought. Very unlike United. SAF needs to switch to 4231.
Not a good half from us, very bad at picking up players in between the lines and aerially we look vulnerable, nothing has really gone right going forward either.
Demba Ba, what a player he's been this season.Great fecking goal
How fecking good are Newcastle? If they can hold onto some of these players and strengthen in the summer they could do really well next season. 100% all over us tonight!
Get yourself warmed up Hernandez / Welbeck.
did Krul have to make a save in the first half?
And everytime we play against any form of physical striker we struggle.
Park and Giggs off, Pogba and Anderson on please
Fixed.
Has Rooney completed a pass yet ? disgraceful performance from the team again. Evra and Valencia were good (again) other than that, well it was awful.
Do we have any players that grow into games? As far as I can remember most of our players who start badly will play like that for the rest of the game. Rooney is a prime example, I cannot see his touch getting better or him improving in the second half.
Our midfield is so deep, being pushed back by their pressing. Far too big a gap from them and our front two. Which is resulting in all these shitty hoofs upfield. Poor poor half of football from our perspective.
If this first half isn't proof alone that our squad isn't good enough I don't know what is.
I loath shit sayings like that. Grow up.
who do you take off? I'd take off Rooney on the hour if he does not impose himself.
Great finish from Ba but we've been terrible.
Berbatov off and Welbeck on.Having said that he'll probably get one in the second half.
Little point bringing strikers on if you can't get the ball to them. Park off Anderson on.
Really??
You watching the same game? We need to have to ball every now and again to challenge the back four.
Does anyone think we're still going to win this?
This was always going to be a very difficult match which is why the shocking performance at the weekend was always going to be costly.
We're creating absolutely nothing so it's hard to see where a goal will come from.

Being outfought for every ball. Passing too laboured. Much too static, not moving in team, in tandem. Moving forward too fast ahead of the ball and end up no passing angles and just hoofing the ball up aimlessly, cue outfought for the ball and losing possession.
A shot from Nani which he punched straight to Rooney who couldn't react quick enough. Can't remember much else.
With the amount of injuries we have thrown into the works?? Shut it will ya.
Bloody clueless in the final third again. Plus, midfield overrun. This is not looking good.
The United I know will definately lose this game judging by how we played first half, can't remember last time we showed up a significantly more urgent team for second half. Newcastle are doing well in defence, really crowding the middle of the pitch right on top of defence.
Sorry for hurting your feelings.
I agree. Newcastle were always going to be dangerous tonight when we're without Vidic, and you can't really defend against a goal like that (well, Jones could have won the first ball but it was a brilliant finish almost out of nowhere still). Our problem is that we're not doing anything right going forward, and don't look dangerous at all after that 10 minute spell.
Looks like Rooney is back to one of his shit-patches again. But Rio looks shaky as feck...
Yeah Nani is too much of a winger to step up and do that (i.e. some days his crosses won't come off etc.) but we need someone who can play at a consistently high level in our attack.
Take him off now. Then maybe our passing will focus more on other places.
Rafael on for Park and move to RB
Nani to Left, Valencia On the Right.
If that doesn't work then on 60 minutes Ando for Giggs and Hernandez for one of berba/rooney.

Get Welbeck on, we need to keep the ball better.
