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.
Lindergaard reminds me of PIG. Good shot stopper but poor distribution
When has Berbatov ever been noted for his positioning? If anything it's one of the weakest parts of his game.
Lol
I was going to say he reminds me of Szczesny
Fantastic Giggs
Owen shouldve made it 2-0
fecking hell Owen! Great pass.
ffs owen
shuold have scored owen
lol, fecking Hell Giggs... excellent 
Amazing ball through from Giggs, what a miss Owen.
Owen clears it off the line I think, another great corner.
owen
Owen missed 1v1, damn.
Keller's been very good. Not bad at all for a man who's nearly 42

Owen was offside
Alonso guy seems decent
What a miss from Owen
Keller going to do a Friedel?
Youngs corners are looking great today.
Jesus .. you'd have put your house on him
Wasn't the bad kick leading up to the double chance the only time he gave the ball away? Haven't seen anything wrong with his distribution so far really.
FFS who's he shagged now?
HT. Very good game. Seattle started well but we finished the stronger. Ando's done well, Lindegaard was impressive and Young has been dangerous. Very good atmosphere.
HT..
The One shall be unleashed soon ...

Halftime. Glad I stayed up for this it's been a really good game. Hope Macheda stays on.
"Manchester United leading one-nil due to the goal by Michael Owen, assist coming from Patrice Evra, and also, Ashley Young"
He had some berba-esque footwork on the right touchline there, very nice.
Sir Alex on Berbatov:
“You know it’s interesting – maybe what they’re saying is he’s not sprinting full out 40 yards all the time all over the place in the way, say, Rooney does or Tevez does. I can understand people saying that because he’s a very economical player. He’s like Teddy Sheringham in that way. He drifts into spaces, his movement is off the ball but, when you actually do the statistics, he is as high as anyone in the team….. his pace is very good, he’s got wonderful balance, and he’s got great vision.”
Most of Young's ball retention has been very good and predictably his corners have us looking very dangerous
Really impressed with Macheda so far in both games. Hope he gets some first team action this year.
That's a one-off. He was renowned for his terrific distribution back in Norway.
His kicking has been a bit iffy today, but harsh to compare him to PIG
I thought the way he held on to the second shot was very impressive.
Seattle are a very good side.
We have our first choice defence out there and they have tested us. Lindegard has been excellent so far.
Anderson has been very good too.
We have played against a very good attacking side.

His distribution couldn't be any worse than Kuszczak's. He gives me nightmares.
More like a 3 off judging by the 1st half.
Still, nerves play a part. Don't think he'll challenge De Gea though
Only managed to catch it from 20 mins onward but I'm impressed with Lindegaard, Anderson and Young. Young reminds me of Nani in a lot of ways. Anderson looks to have been told to dictate the game and all the players, even Giggs, give him the ball if they can. Hopefully Fergie has got him down for a big role this season.
HT analysis, Paddy Crenard Watch
1) mistakes Freiberg for being a Noggie, was corrected and told he was Swedish, Paddys response "ah sure they're all the same." Racist...
2) Calls Nani tough
3) Terrible jokes with regards to Freidels family egg farm as a kid. If I were Paddy i'd have egg on my face with those attempts.I'll get my coat....
Seriously though it is an enjoyable game. Pitch is shit though.
