Funny how hype drives the prices in the market. You could be bang average, but papers can drive your price to make people think that he is some elite defender

Man Phil Jones was on another level compared to Maguire.
No words. 80 mil. 80 fecking mil.
But he needs good partner and shit like that...right?

Maguire could possibly be an ok defender for a team defending deep. What I don’t understand is the fact that Solskjaer clearly wants to play a higher line but then pins his hopes on a player that can’t do it. The terrifying thing is he’s no good and he’s currently the best centre back we’re willing to play.
£80m. We even paid all at once. 
Surely club scouts shouldn't be listening to the press...
Just a shit Jonny Evans and we paid 80m for him and made him captain immediately. Absolute joke.
Pobga, Lukaku, Maguire - the three worst transfers United ever made.
fecking woeful. Another player that is getting steadily worse for us.
For real... time to drop him
I'll say drop the clown and start Smalling ahead of him next game.
wasn't he the best of the crop that was available? Koulibaly priced above 100m, Ake maybe ?
In his defence he had that madness over the Summer so maybe not at it in this moment. Problem is he was never more than a very good defender 7/10 at best
Pulling his own man down so he couldn't clear the ball is something we never saw from even Jones or Smalling. Single most bizarre defensive moment this decade
Evra! - Finally, someone said we should question whether Maguire should be taken out of the team.
I like Maguire, but he has looked awful recently. Might be the poor coaching here.
Hopefully he will improve under a new manager soon.

We done the hard part getting a goal against a Mourinho team and then he fiucks up like that.
Guess so. Unless our scouts did their jobs and found some hidden gems and not go for obvious big names.
Could have just kept Smalling and saved ourselves £85m while we waited for a good defender to become available.
Our defensive record improved
Said it last season. Should never have been made captain after 5 months and he isn’t bad, but he isn’t very good either. He would be playing for Newcastle or Newcastle back in the day. His no better than Ronny Johnson/Henchoz from the 90/00s. He’s a secondary CB. We 100% can’t be playing a high line with him either. And we wonder why we can’t have FB’s that advance forward.
Absolute disgrace as a captain - where’s his organisation and leadership?
I said it on reddit and i will say it here again. The off season issue affected him more than he is willing to admit. He needs time off. Some of the decisions he makes on the pitch are uncharacteristic and he is playing at a level which is way below his standard. He needs help. Will he be willing to get it though,i am unsure.
Yeh but thats hindsight though. I suggested that too during the transfer saga but got quote spammed.
We are f’d.
I wonder what the scouts were looking at ?
There's always an excuse for his poor showing...not enough time with the team, bad partners in defense, fatigue, Greece stuff, his large head impacting his center of gravity etc...
He just isn't very good, he can do an ok job for a midtable team and that's all.
£80.000.000 spent on him, dear lord.

It's baffling because non professionals on this forum pointed out a lot of these weaknesses yet scouts and whomever else was in involved thought he was good enough.
Well, this clown was made captain of Manchester United after doing nothing, absolutely nothing.
Can you give me some stats please?
That was fecking disgraceful. So disappointed in him.
Didn't he do something similar a few months ago ?
Think we were defending a corner and he was blocking his own team mate?
Calamitous.
Why, just why is he pulling Shaw? Shaw then overcompensate and falls backwards. So stressed out.
What was his excuse against Bournemouth et al. towards the end of last season? The mans been a horrendous distribution of funds & the excuses need to stop.
He is far from the worst defender but he’s been championed on here as a ‘massive improvement’ on his predecessors which is patently untrue.
He has A LOT of improving to do.
One of the worst performance by a CB, first goal was go bad he should be sacked for that. Made 2 blunders to head the ball and then pulled Shaw who was clearing the ball.
He shouldn't be ManUtd captain, Ole shouldn't be ManUtd manager.
