Problem is Maguires wages 200k + ( I think ). He's 31. So no one is going to pay him that so we would have to make up the difference. I actually think Italy would be a very good move for him. In a team that plays a low block back 3 like inter or Napoli.
De Ligt | €45+5m agreement reached pending medical | Signed!

Harry was on 190k per week before the 25% cut at the end of last season.
Any idea what wages he’s on?
One of the big things INEOS need to sort out - hope it’s less than £200k a week.

Apparently he's not trained yet this pre-season.
Hope we sell Lindelof and Maguire, even for a cheap price. Just get them off the books. At least one of them.
I suppose if people don't understand what was happening at Juventus at the time, they would come to the incorrect conclusion.
Oh he has 1 year left on his deal, thought he was on a free. Either way, on a cheap deal and cheaper wages is the reason, not because they are upgrading their side.
Tah is actually a huge upgrade and one of the fastest defenders in the Bundesliga. Bayern needs that Typ of player.
De Ligt will do well in a team that isn’t as attacking as Bayern.. like Juventus or United.
Or that someone of De Ligts calibre was a Yoro backup, was always bonkers. Very happy we have some really quality in depth at CB now.
Why would Bayern sell him if he is a top player, even considering his wages? Certainly an upgrade on Lindelöf and Maguire though. Decent fee, decent signing.always someone who sees the glass half empty.
He won the league with both teams.
Hopefully we can try to off load Maguire or Lindelof now.
We'll have two CBs who are captain material (de ligt and Martinez).
That isn’t saying anything. It was our worst defensive season in the league last year.
Why did we sell Stam? Why did Chelsea sell KdB and Salah?
Bayern have made some comments already, it appears they desperately need some funds and to reduce their wage bill, they are staked at CB and most importantly the player wanted the move.
Probably the most obvious and brilliant one of all.
Some people talk as though big clubs have never sold good players before
Great. I dont even need to buy CB for this years FM.

The PL sucks, it has one great team but the rest of the league is no better than any other league.
Ajax, Juve, Bayern, United...at only 25 years of age, here's hoping he becomes a pillar of our defence for the next decade.
And I thought I had seen reaching at its worst.
He’ll be a great buy for us - him / yoro in addition to Martinez will be the main three. I’m guessing Evans as a back as he just signed on for another year up means we’ll be getting rid of either Maguire or lindelof
Plus an upgrade at right back
It’s been a good window - bar we do need a Casemiro replacement and still not enough goals up front unless rashford turns it around and amad / gancho produce from the wings
Exciting time to be a United fan again with the new club structure in place

Desperately is going overboard. We, or better said Hoeneß and Salihamidzic, just handed out contracts to players like De Ligt, Goretzka or Gnabry those players weren’t worth. We could keep paying him with relative ease. We just don’t want to anymore, because it’s bad business.
It’s not like we’re reducing our overall costs. We’re just rebuilding the squad.
The sooner PL fans accept it's not the be all and end all of football the sooner this superiority complex can end.
Thrilled with this signing tbh. Our defense is in desperate need for help and for this price its basically impossible to do better in this market.
Excellent business by the club to get both De Ligt and Mazraoui for about £51m including add-ons.
Both will improve the team and add much needed quality

Wow this is happening? Good news. We are still very light in other places like full back and cm, but there we are. Wait are we getting Mazraoui too? Great!
Only in Germany touching a parked car and then driving away is considered a "hit and run". In Germany hurting a car is basically as severe as physical assault.
Left back next and hopefully a centre midfielder.
We don't joke about Fahrerflucht
Exactly this.
One of the biggest issue in the defence is that if anyone is out, the drop in quality was too big. Now with yoro, de ligt, Martinez I hope that issue will be gone.
Especially Answorth already stated that lacked of depth and over reliance on certain players is United major issue last season.
Spot on! 3 top CBs is perfect to be honest! Then a few squad fillers on top.
Great transfer for us!
Delighted - great signing! Top quality player.
Yes! Thrilled for this. Genuinely a top class centre back.
Both still in the squad (on the bench) that will play against Tottenham tonight:

If Bayern have any sense then they’ll be nowhere the pitch tonight.
He’s back with the man that helped shape I though, so fingers crossed.
I can see us moving Martinez on the left with de ligt and yoro as CB and Dalot on the right
What time? Might give it a watch.Both still in the squad (on the bench) that will play against Tottenham tonight:
