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.
So I think we were saving our energy for Saturday.
Ronaldo's moment was planned and executed perfectly near the end. Exactly as our genius coaching team scripted out in training.
He’s easily the worst in the league. I think he was while Bruce was there, never mind Emery. You only have to listen to him talking about football.
It’s shocking that your board’s aim for the season is that Ole ”gets enough results” to stay in his job, rather than them wanting to win something. Hearing Ole talking about “needing results“ on Saturday. - That’s really poor at a top club…
He’s not though, is he.
worse than that Norwich cnut? Bielsa? Dean Smith?
Bielsa is a fraud, one way of playing and don’t get me started on his fecking bucket.
No clue how Pogba plays more than as sub until he leaves on his free to PSG. He kills the team.
That Zapata dude is frankly not much worse than Lukaku.
Yep , Pogba is -1
Ronaldo is clearly our problem according to some…. He is definitely costing us a place/entry to Europa league
You are drunk, mate
Bailly was the only quality defender. Varane played with injury and Ole not resting him probably injured him worse
Shaw is crap, AWB is full of mistakes, Maguire is a disgrace in his current form

Someone get stats on how many times we've conceded 1st in the past year/year and a half. It's ridiculous.
Just saw the ball hits the referee before the goal, aren’t they auto drop balls now?
The only one who deserves to feel a little joy tonight is Ronaldo.
The only one who will be mightily relieved is Ole.
The Fans, the ones who actually understand our situation, are left frustrated at the way we played, against an average Serie A team.
This is going to be one long drawn out and dull affair.
Meanwhile, Spurs sign Conte. Ugh.

He’s a club legend and he cares for the club. He is doing a fantastic job. 2-2 away to Atalanta is amazing when you consider Ole has not spent any money and has a 36 y/o as his main striker.. that alone should show you how poor the rest of the squad is and clearly ole is overachieving with what he has. Ole getting us into the Champions League is truly a better achievement than Leicester winning the league.
Of course we want to win, but difficult to believe that when half the squad is just overrated players. Not many that would be in the Chelsea/City/Liverpool squad.
Please tell me you're trolling and not actually serious? Please.
@Ferguson’s Hairdryer is obviously parodying 
I had a concussion and became ole In
The fact I thought he was being serious just goes to show the embarrassing opinions some of our fans hold.
You just never know what you have to argue against.

He is superb. He bullied Lindelof in our home, remember? Well, Lindelof has been bullied by the beasts so often.
Hahaha, was actually just gonna say that so many people not realising actually proves some of the nonsense ole in come out with
Serious question - in which of the 19 other clubs do you think would Ole better job than their current manager?
Ronaldo MoTM with the draw. Bailly would have got it if we'd lost. Both were very good. Greenwood not far behind. Between 3s and 6s for the rest.
And it hit Greenwood's arm. We were blessed with that equaliser.
I think the connection with Greenwood was viewed as accidental and not considered. I saw it immediately on the replay and was worried but the Atalanta players were complaining about the ball hitting the referee apparently.
Anyway, good to see the officials letting play go on in that situation. Would be silly to bring a goal back for that.
We need this Eric Bailly for the next games. Consistency is the problem.
Ronaldo may have scored 2 brilliant goals but Bailly made more saves than De Gea.How has Ronaldo only got 70% of the MotM vote?
Ole's sub was again impeccable although most won't acknowledge it. Pogba was having a nightmare, McTominay on a yellow - logical move is to get Fred in to spare McT since he can do the job, or maybe Matic to have a proper CDM. But he decided otherwise and sent out Matic for Pogba instead, risking McT but at the same time steadying midfield passes. Matic did a lot of tempo control passing.
Then Lingard was actually warming up, Sancho and VdB wasn't even warmed up and were on the bench and suddenly they're out there on the pitch, and making instant impact. With Bruno taken out De Roon was lost on who to mark for a few minutes, enough for us to make out small openings forward. It's the gap in concentration in the last minutes of the usually tactically disciplined Atlanta that Ole exploited with his last two subs.
Any other sub than those exact 4 would have not given us any chance near their goal. That was some very sharp instinct on who to sub on, when and why. It's Ole's trademark at this point.

Lots of muppets here tonight.
Despite what a lot think , with the energy of Fred missing in midfield and the usual invisible performance from McTominlay, and the sulking Pogba , shouldnt be a surprise that we look insipid.
Ole really has selection amnesia, and as for style, no need to comment.
A draw that perhaps wasn’t deserved , thanks to Ronaldo and again Rashford just lacks the touch needed against these better teams.

Was the concussion caused by bundles of cash thrown at you by the Glazers?
I think Varane's injury helped the game only because it forced Ole into switching his tactical approach. Greenwood was decent today.
Ole generally isn't versatile or confident enough to switch things up mid-game

Knowing Ole he might go 6 at the back. 2 CBs, 2 RBs, 2 LBs.
Otherwise it was a tactical masterclass from Ole! Can't wait for him to bring on a 42 year old Messi in a few years time to do a job like CR7 is doing now.
Have faith. Bayern might stop at 8...
Sadly we might never see that day
Eric Bailly, please don't get injured ever again.
Congratulations your coach might be better than Norwich’s. Do You not want something better than that?
