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.
Why would our best performer on the night be made a scapegoat for the performance
He usually gets blamed when we lose. I didn't hear SAF's comments and SAF is right as Ando was our only good player against West Ham and he was brilliant against Blackburn. Both he and Carrick are playing better in recent weeks and I hope it continues.
Strong bench as well.
Would have been so good to see that really written like that.
Amos
He looked terrible last time I saw him play, that's just slashed the odds of us getting the clean sheet record. PIG must definitely be off in Jan.
To be honest I doubt Amos being in goal would affect the odds that much, if at all. He's still got Rio and Vidic in front of him and I'm sure Fergie isn't expecting shots to be raining in on our goal.
Seems like we are playing the team like we will against Arsenal, with 1 or 2 exceptions
That's 3 goals for them then.
you have to think that we are going to have the lion's share of the possession.
our defense should be more than adequate. also, i think resting vds might not be such a bad idea before a crucial sequence of games coming up.
Ask Ekeke
is this the first time rafael and fabio have started together for united?
Rafael / Fabio
I think they played together in the FA Cup semi against Everton.
FA CUP semi final against Everton springs to mind
Ekeke, how close is this to being Valencias best team?
I can't remember the last time we played such a strong line up in the UCL group stages. Last year we seemed to play semi reserve teams in each match. It's strange to see such a strong United lineup in the group stages
Ben Amos
Possible injuries during the game.
Pablo is the only real threat in that Valencia side. Banega's hardly played at all this season.
Amos

Right on queue Scholesy. It used to be funny but it's becoming predictable now.
Gonna be way too cold for us too....-7 now I think.
:d
No Mata or Saldado for Valencia?
I agree, though if a da Silva gets injured I'd imagine Fletcher will come on.
I do rate him though. I like his kicking and the type of person he seems. Kicking is the first thing I kind of look for in a goalkeeper and Amos is good with the ball at his feet. The rest of his game, I haven't really seen enough to make a final opinion, although I have seen him make some great saves for the reserves. He does look to be sometimes in slow motion but I like him - especially his kicking.
I really wanna watch this game but I have a final tomorrow that I really have to study for!
Nowhere near that when i was coming away from manchester an hour ago, was -1 I think.
No, they both started against Everton in the FA Cup semi 2009.
This the second time now?
n.e.w.t?
I get giddy seeing just one of the twins.
Great lineup. We needs this win.
Great lineup. We needs this win.
I almost spat out my drink when I read the lineup. No VDS and no PIG? Oh this is not good. I guess that record is not ours this year then.
No its the O.W.L's. I have a Political Science final which is pretty hard and I have a lot to study.
Fergie left orders that he wanted the temperature turned down since though, he reckons freezing the bollix's of the Valencia lads will be a huge advantage to us.
Have a bit of confidence won't you!
I m sorry but I would have had full confidence in PIG. But I m just not so sure about Amos.
Kuszczak will come on at leftback when Fabio gets injured.
In fairness to Scholesy i like Amos as well, anyone who's watched him regularly in the reserves will know he commands his box well and is a good distributor.
I can understand why people are nervous about him playing due to his lack of experience, but don't write him off as i think he has potential.

Well that's odd to say the least, kicking is something that can help make a good keeper great but you shouldn't be rating a keeper just because of that if you haven't seen enough of the rest of his game. For me he hasn't shown me he's any better than Heaton but Amos is incredibly young for a 'keeper so the jury is out. I'm not expecting him to ever challenge for the no.1 jersey though.
Oh and what has his personality got to do with his ability?
I've not seen a lot of Amos, only when he's played in the first team. His distribution from what I've seen though is quite poor. He's not very good at kicking.
How many times have you watched him?
Amos playing behind Vidic & Rio will do him the world of good, I think most people who are doubting him have hardly seen the lad play!
