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.
Eh ? Smalling has been the most used defender by Mourinho here.
No its not. Its just Mourinho's third year. Happens everywhere he goes. We knew about it, we were warned about it but we decided to take the risk cuz we wanted short term success. Mourinho's third year is always poisonous, he always loses the dressing room and this isnt something that was unexpected, it is a pattern and has happened many times before
Best case is we get Pogba, Mourinho and Woodward all out the door next summer. Sanchez will probably be joining them.
What part of this is a mutiny? Stop being so hysterical.
0 quotes. Why is this getting attention?
Also being removed from the team for Derby? Jesus Christ.
Spoiler Alert: Man Utd's most expensive and best player (debatable) out for home clash against Championship side Derby.

Just get rid of Mourinho for God's sakes. He's not justifying his salary and it's too much drama. Time he takes looking after his ego, he would be best advised to get us properly coached.
People saying the manager is always in control and should be respected, but this manager hasn't earned any respect. In addition we play such horrible football it's having an impact on how we're perceived nowadays. Why should the club continuously back this useless manager under these circumstances?
Jose is not SAF, and never will be.

So Pogba won’t be considered for the captaincy until he stops publicly undermining the manager.
Sounds sensible enough to me.

Massively? He lost 2 games and drew 1 in the league so far. He's also 6 games into the season. Is he finished then? All that improvement in results year on year goes down the drain because of 3 bad games?
Glad to know the expectations and patience our fans is in check.
Mourinho might not have explicitly stated Ed is not doing his job but he sure implied it in more ways than one. It's kind of exactly the same as Pogba is doing now. Pogba hasn't actually said anything about Mourinho explicitly.
The likes of Simon Stone are confirming it too. Seems like there's been a briefing.
We've been regressing as a side for most of 2018, its not 3 bad games.
Awesome news. May as well just feck off Lukaku while we're at it and bench the pair of them. That way Smalling can be our greatest goal threat in the team 
Is he reliable?
I doubt he was going to play vs Derby anyway, lets see what happens agains West Ham
You’d have loved Fegie then. He had plenty of fallouts with his players.
very
Imagine wanting a player to dominate over a manager though. I wouldn't, even if David Moyes was still our manager. I don't get it. It shouldn't matter if you despise Jose to the point you haven't slept since April 2017 and spend your evenings sitting in a dark room muttering nonsensically about Mourinho while sticking pins into an action man figure you've disturbingly stuck Jose's face to (and we know you people exist), as soon as players are above the manager, its over.
None of them cost him his job
Yes for the investment given, massively.
We’re out of the title race in his 3rd season by mid September after £400+ in transfers and no clear plan or progress, I suggest you revising your expectations for this club instead.
I'm not sure how anyone can say we haven't regressed.
Our top goal scorers in the PL in 2018 is Lukaku (10), Pogba (5) and Smalling (4).
When you look at our attacking talents and they haven't managed to out score Chris Smalling you know the club is having serious issues.
I agree, we have turned into a circus act and every rival fan is enjoying our pain and misery. From ed vs Jose to Jose vs pogba to Jose vs media to Jose vs Shaw it's just becoming too much too handle.
Can’t the club do us all a favour and get rid of both manager & player?
Pogba should be gift wrapped all the way to Barcelona (for a hefty fee mind) and Moaninho should be kicked in to touch for his shite brand of football and for just being a tw@t. The state this club has got itself in.

STONE COLD! YOU WILL NEVER BE WWF CHAMPION AGAIN!!!
Mourinho sounds more and more like a cartoon character.

Well we don't know them personally so it's hard to say if that's Pogba being petulant or if he sees Jose as a disingenous snake and isn't buying what he's selling, you come across people like that in life that you know are just bullshitting you and are no good, so you keep your distance, but they both should just keep their mouth shut, at least until January.
The manager has to be in control. Regardless of whether Mourinho is right for the club or not, he’s right to discipline Pogba for his comments and he had to.

Agreed. I think Pogba is gone regardless, just a matter of when. Mourinho could probably pull it from the fire if he somehow turned this fiasco into a good/great season, but after Woodward's comments in August, I'm not sure Jose would have the stomach for yet another year anyway. Not sure he still has the drive/ability to do it either. Reckon they'll both be gone by the end of May.
They can't hide Pogba being dropped from the squad or stripped of the captaincy and they know Raiola will tell the world about it anyway. Better to get the story out first when you can put your own spin on it (the players all understand and support Mourinho's decision, Mourinho has the backing of the board etc etc).
He looks to have lost the confidence of the board when it comes to identifying players and was publicly undermined by Woodward in August. He won't be here for 2019-20 imo.
I see a pattern developing here...
I wonder what the reaction will be if next summer Pogba is gone and Mourinho is United manager next season
As long as it doesn't entail us becoming a Mickey Mouse club.
BBC are reporting it now, very much credible unfortunately.
We need to get rid of Jose asap.. we arw a circus!
No one is bigger than the club though! Oh wait unless they are the manager.
The rest of your write up is good but the bolded is a myth you probably heard from somewhere. SAF did everything in his power to get Pogba to stay. Even had senior players go persuade him to change his mind in the final days not knowing he had already agreed a deal with Juve
Exactly - we need to just call it a day with him
Oppostion supporters said this would happen.
He's never said it. It's all implied.
Likewise, Pogba has never said Mourinho is a bad manager.
That was arguable before, but the digs after Wolves are one of the most obvious criticism said by a player towards his manager in charge.
Pogba is just saying what we're all thinking. He shouldn't do it in a public forum but then Mou has been singling out players for a while.
This will end with Mourinho gone
