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.
We've got amazing depth in squad.
We've signed Toni Kroos.
Park went to Korea to play for their team on Wednesday... That;s the reason probably. But Gibson?!
What the feck is this Monday Night Football thing
Watch back to the early 90s, Sky were doing it on MNF back then.
The squad is huge.
No Carrick? Hmm...thought he had his best game in a while last week.
Hopefully we can see the Berbatov Hernandez strike force tonight
Nani up against Perch. 
He's been pretty poor in pre-season. This could be fun.

The quality on sky player is shit.
You'd think they could stream HD by now

Why are people reading into Owen's absence so much. He was regularly not in matchday squads last season. Ferguson has said he's rotating him. Owen, himself, has said he's happy with a rotation role.
Lets see Rooney and Hernandez on the pitch!
What did you expect ? Iniesta in midfield and Zlatan up-front ? They haven't got better players than that - Simpson, Campbell, S.Taylor and Leon Best are all injured
Aye, but Scholes is better. And Fletcher is now first choice.
It's by no means a bad thing - Carrick has talked about being hungry, this will probably gee him up even more now.
Official line-up
United team: Van der Sar, O'Shea, Vidic, Evans, Evra; Valencia, Fletcher, Scholes, Nani; Berbatov, Rooney.
Subs: Kuszczak, Rafael, Smalling, Carrick, Giggs, Macheda, Hernandez.

Anyone watching Sky?
Ball owned Reina.

and Cleverly. I think our squad have reached the 25-man limit.
Cleverly was involved with the reserves last night so...
Yeah, I got Sky on. I love Andy Grays little analysis'!
Maybe he didn't realise they were injured? Hence, his "surprise".
You mean we will have Ford-commercials at half-time ? And Andy Gray shouting - sorry man - I just noticed Gary Pallister arriving from the back - he hasn't scored this season - I wonder if they are saying to him "Go on big man - have a go"
Theyre going to decide who the best Centre forward in the league is now, after one game.
Safe to say i prefer ESPN

Well apart from O'Shea for Rafael (which was always likely given that later was on international duty in the States) it's fairly much the team most Man Utd fans voted for ... okay Hernandez for Berbatov too ... but that has a similar reason.
Placing Carrick on the bench is probably a tactical decision and Fergie thinks Scholes can really expose Newcastle's midfield here, that or maybe he still needs a bit more match-freshness.
Shadow analysis. Every year he gets better kit
Just flipped on a stream to watch this Sky Sports preview you all mentioned. It really is awful. Quit trying to be like us.
Watching it, but I didn't get the part where Gray asked us to follow the shadow of the ball. What was that about?
Why are they obsessing over having a game on monday?
It's much better spending a Sunday afternoon in a pub with 2 games rather than 1

Aye, that's the one.
They haven't done it much recently, but this is by no means a new thing.
I quite like it.
Caftards just don't like change.
Behave. They are prone to excessive hyperbole, but Sky is by far the best sports broadcaster in the UK.
Would the team be much better with Sol Campbell, Leon Best and Danny Simpson ?
Perhaps not. But it would have been more recognisable perhaps.
Cos it's their "thing".
Besides, what's the problem? What else would we be doing now? Watching Corrie...?
3-0.
Valencia to score.
Valencia to score.
The goals that drogba just scored, you cant imagine rooney scoring goals like that (even though he has the strength and imagination to!), however, i can imagine hernandez scoring those types of goals. He has done, like against argentina.
And no, im not saying hernandez is on par with drogba.

A freekick through a crap wall, a tap in and a deflection??
I'm waiting to see at least 3 goals, and Chico to play
Meh.
I like the idea of other teams being on but it's annoying waiting an extra day or 2 to see us play.
Rooney's volley against Newcastle a few seasons back, still
Rooney's volley, just watched it about 5 times on repeat
