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.
Job done but performance must improve in the next round. I really hope Utd go on to win this trophy
Yep. Surprised me as well. Someone with the clip will probably post later.
He also said he's disappointed at City's exit from the CL as they'll have more rest between games and said "some teams don't know what fatigue is", hinting at Liverpool and Chelsea possibly.
Depressing. Utterly depressing.
We won but I'm thinking about quitting this place for a while.
United into their 24th European club quarter final.
We should have scored more, but that's just standard at the moment. Romero was my MotM, so it could have been a lot trickier.
Not happy about Pogba's injury but he has been looking so tired recently.
Just pleased we're through.

Well that....was fecking dreadful
Not entirely sure that Mourinho was thinking !!!!!!!!!!, that was embarrassing on so many levels.
I know what you mean. Some of the comments are....well......this place is really changing.
I just find it massively delusional how so many United fans seem to think we're the best team left in the Europa. We're the biggest team but definitely not the best.
Tip of the cap to the officials. Take note English refs, this is how you control a game.
It's all about opinions I suppose but it's rather pathetic. Still I'm very happy. Now on to the draw tomorrow.
Yeah I don't understand it either. We can win it but we're not outright favourites like everyone think we are. We should be favourites, but the way we're playing right now is not good enough.
Hope we get lucky draws all the way.

Seems like it's not just us delusional fans?
Wrong!
Did he really say we might lose on Sunday? That should be illegal for a manger, regardless of which team, to say.
Good interview. It's pretty bloody obvious that the players are really feeling it at the moment.
Because we are capable over going up several levels and should be able to deal with anyone left in the competition. The worry for me is injuries and fatigue.
When was the last time we actually played well? It's felt as big a chore watching us again the last several weeks as it did under LvG.
Jose taking a gamble not playing Rashford and Carrick due to their importance on Sunday.
I think Jose is expecting a win on Sunday, this way if we win it will seem a bigger result than it is and would gain a lot of monentum from it

- Why have we started using a stupid formation that suits none of our players?
- That Phil Jones sub was as dumb as anything LVG did. In fact, if that game had happened last season it would have been a typical LVG performance. Counter productive tactics, and substitutions designed to sabotage your own team's ability to have any control on the game. Bringing on Phil Jones at left wing back when you have Ashley Young and Luke Shaw in your squad should be an automatic sacking offence really. It's so stupid it's beyond accidental and into deliberate sabotage.

I think he was being facetious.
How often do we ever go several levels up? This is the team that can't seem to beat anyone at home without a struggle. Today was a good win in the circumstances but our performances have been on a downward spiral and I'm not sure we're the best team remaining at all.
Don't get your makeup messed up darling. Such drama. Well you can always browse this place whilst being logged out (like all them drama queens with their feelings hurt do) so we will welcome you back with open arms after your 'hiatus'.
I agree.
You're on a form tonight.
Recovered after City lost yesterday?
My feelings aren't hurt, what about yours?
Yeap,I think the semi's will be as far as we go.
Just in traffic on the way back from the game. It looked like Jose had a plan and it worked. The game was kept in control using the super high defensive line. The problem for us fans is that's all we offered. There was nothing else.
There was the odd glimpse from Mhki of the energy we should be seeing more of from everyone, but with no one else matching it it came to nothing.
Pogba was woeful. I genuinely think I could've got better shots off than him.
A sly goal from them could've caused us huge problems.
It's a good job that little blighter keeps popping up in the right places. At least we're through

Young or Rashford were prepared to come for Rojo. Then we scored and Jose decided to keep it as it is.
I will never deem a 2-1 win over 180minutes against a team like Rostov a good result. I obviously have higher expectations than others. I'm not expecting a 10-0 thrashing, i'm expecting a team like United however to demonstrate they're a class above such opposition. No way should anyone be happy with that performance or result, all it does is show how far we've fallen in 4 years. In both fan expectations but also results.
We won against a team who parked the bus. We are through to the next round.
Decent game. Certainly not "woeful".

huh? what? My admiration for Pep is purely based on football terms. I don't actually like him and am dreaming of a Mourinho era full of success. Example: https://www.redcafe.net/threads/premier-le4gue-gam3week-14.424205/page-16#post-20130424
But what about those feelings? You're a bit weird, seem to have something personal for me but I don't remember nugus so you've got to refresh my memory, got too many of them randomly wanting me to make them famous by replying.
I take results over performance any day of the week. If we get Result + performance, thats bonus in these current times.
Freshness will have a huge bearing on it. If we had a weeks rest for the match in europe i would bet on us to win. But i looked at the ties on BT and we are playing each game in between PL matches. The same if we get to the semis.
If i were mourinho i would rest players. I would concentrate in the europa now.
I agree.
Going back and forth with him...you should get a medal.
I have nothing personal for you. Just see that you're on a mission against Mourinho.
Post about one game in which he should have been sent of. That means you don't like him?
I've seen some of your posts about him and you were absolutely creaming over him.
All good of course, you have your favorite manager but I don't get why are you on Jose's case tonight so much.
Is it just a coincidence you saw Pep getting slated in City thread and decided to have a go in Jose thread?
I'm not sure that's a good way of moving forward is the problem. Surely all that does is allow the clubs standards to drop?
Yeah. Probably I could spend my time a bit wiser.
