The look on Hendersons face
It all went a little too fast for poor Harry

Henderson looking like every United fan whenever Maguire had the ball at his feet over the last year.
He was worth a punt, irregardless of price

Price tag and armband are distractions. The real debate is whether Maguire is (or was) the best option available at the time who we could reasonably get. I think he's a solid 6 out of 10 level defender. Occasionally hits a 7, but also often hits a 5 or a 4. He was worth a punt, irregardless of price. But he hasn't been good enough. Whether he can improve or get back to solid 7/10 is another debate, and I say no.
A punt is signing Pellestri, you don’t spend £80mil on a punt. The club don’t have infinite resources, so his fee is very much so integral to any debate about him. If the question is was he the best option at the time you have to ask that question with the £80mm law budget available, we could have bought near enough any other CB with that money bar a few.Price tag and armband are distractions.

Well people are hardly going to use it to defend him.The state of twitter and this thread when that clip is used as something to attack him.

Feck sakeIf that clip showed anything, it's that Maguire is more adept at using both feet to manipulate the ball, as opposed to the rest who are so averse to holding on to the ball they hot-potatoed it with only one foot whenever it gets to them.
He was worth buying, worth finding out if he would be the solution to our defensive woes. It was worth the risk. The price to me is irrelevant: we needed a defender and we got one. The problem for me is that he only does well in a team that sits and counters, which is boring as feck and not how United "should" play.Somehow, this does not make sense.
Worth a punt, at 80m?
Who cares how expensive he was? You should be happy, as a United fan, that you can say our club is rich enough to blow that much on a championship-level player. His price is beside the point. The point is he isn't very good at any price.A solid 6 does not worth the punt of being the most expensive defender in the world.

More of it is here at 7:35.Well.. he isnt exactly covering himself in glory there.
43 passes made so far so it is pretty clear what they are doing. Would have liked to see it from the start though, how many times Maguire touched it before the clip starts. Still Henderson his reaction says it all, why on earth would Maguire do that? There are only two reasons i can think of that Maguire does what he does : 1) he is absolutely braindead or 2) he feels bad for the person in the middle.
From the way he has been playing this season and some of the things he does on the field (or in Greece, or after scoring against San Marino) i cant rule out option 1.
Feel a bit sorry for him tbh, a lot of the reasons he’s such a meme aren’t really his fault. He was never an 80m footballer but we spunked the money on him anyway, then made him the captain to boot. It also doesn’t help that he’s a terrible orator in interviews or that he’s not exceptionally good looking.
The "we're Man United, we do whatever feck we want" expression, you say?!If that clip showed anything, it's that Maguire is more adept at using both feet to manipulate the ball, as opposed to the rest who are so averse to holding on to the ball they hot-potatoed it with only one foot whenever it gets to them.
