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 know we haven't been up there with our european performances but I still think this team will come good once some of the newbies have aged. Don't think it's fair to place too much criticism on the lads if we go out tonight.
We've been an absolute joke in Europe this season.
Sure he could. Was a great pass but Llorente is a slow player. If he got to the ball first inside the box from a pass inside their own half then someone messed up on our side.
We need goals and Ji Sung Park is playing. Why?
Can't stand them either. Play simple.
Why is Cleverly our winger?
How was that Rooney's fault?
feck off.
feck off.
feck me this ref is shite
This ref 
We're so shit against teams that press us high up the pitch.
He's been a great servant to this club but I really hope we sell Park.
Yep, of course that is a foul by and not on Rooney.

How the feck did that go against Rooney?Park is playing shite. Get Welbeck on.
Ref has been pretty abysmal but our midfield is getting raped to be fair.
Rooney and park fecking shit so far
TBH, I didn't expect too much before the match started, and even less so now.
Our performances in Europe this season simply haven't been good enough, and I didn't see tonight being any different.
If we somehow turn this round and advance, I'll parade down the street in my underwear.

We are, it's a real weakness of ours.
So are we playing Cleverley out wide and Giggs/Park centrally?
Great ball by Carrick to Giggs
How on earth was Collymore ever given a job as a commentator?
Carrick to Giggs 
It's really been the mentality towards cup competitions that's been shit from us. Way to conservative and predictable. Easily exploitable.
so if utd get relagated to the championship then we'd want to lose games ?
a team that doesn't desire to win every game is a team that isn't worty of the red shirt
Park's a waste of a pass tonight.
Get up Wayne, we're also not going to get any 50-50's from the ref tonight
Ignoring the players you just criticised; Park, Rooney, Carrick, Evra, Rafael and DDG are all experienced in European football... There aren't really any inexperienced players in this starting XI, just Cleverley and Young and at 26, I'd expect Young to be able to cope. Experience can't be an excuse for this.
Carrick's been very efficient so far.
Depressing isn't it?
It certainly is. Win, lose or draw you could always guarantee 100% from each and every player and most importantly our play was a joy to watch.
The crap football is having a bigger effect.
We're slow today when it comes to one/two touch football, which would be extremely helpful against a team like Bilboa who press very well.
Let Young take the fecking corners for feck sake Giggs.
in british underwear I hope......
feck me, our collective first touch has been awful today.
Carrick has been fecking excellent so far... especially considering he's basically been playing for 2 men.
What we need is more steel in midfield.
Forget the play maker.
Forget the play maker.
We're not actually playing that bad.
We actually look good on the rare occasions we pass the ball quickly in small areas. When we start floating in crosses from 40 yards away we look like Stoke.
