How do we sell Harry Maguire?

We could sell him to Newcastle then when at then will start ti show why we bought him and he will turn into the worlds best defender again. Not good enough for what we want to achieve, we need 11 new players, Varane included, been injured more than he’s played it seems.
 
We should be doing as you suggest loan players out if they can’t be sold but we don’t for some reason. We just like to keep paying huge wages for them to sit on the bench rather than try to recoup money.

This is why we are in the shit we are in.

Hopefully with the new manager coming in we start to do things properly.

What we should be doing is saying to the next manager you have say a £100m budget, if you want more sell players and use those funds to buy. Ideally what the next manager then does is sell all the dross and fringe players and replace them with good first team quality players and use the academy to fill the gaps.

As for selling Maguire, we aren’t getting any more than 30/40m for him as the wages he is going to want from his next club only a very few could afford so the transfer fee would have to be reduced, plus we would have to pay him a big chunk to leave.


We should take that and run if we get anything close to that.
 
I think everyone would be happy with that.

I think its time for him to realise he nneds to move on, for the sake of his own career and mental health. He will forever be associated with the two worst results against our biggest rivals.

To put it politely he need to feck off!

Isn't it weird how we keep the likes Jones and Eric for years but don't have a CB to step in when Maguire is a broken mess.

I think Eric is 10x the defender Maguire is, he’s fast, tough as old nails, and reads the game well, its amazing how he keeps getting overlooked (when fit) for Maguire.
 
Should be stuck in the middle of a farmers field and left to wave his arms around to his hearts content!

He should be put on eBay, let his agent negotiate the contract with bidders on there, he'll soon come to the shock when he couldn't get a Mars bar a week.
 
If he declines to leave and with the pay he's on do you banish him to the u23s? The only way I see that he leaves is paying out the remainder of his contract.

We will continue playing him.
Not only that, but we'll renew his contract.
Mark my words.

For some reason people think that a new manager will change everything - it won't.
When Ralf R joined, many thought that things would change. Nothing changed. The same players are stinking up the place, even though Ralf R knows it.
I can only assume that there must be pressure from the board to play the likes of Maguire and Rashford, who should never play for the first team again (if based on form).
 
Easily. It's not some hard problem. Just sell him. If it means we only get 15-20 mil and lose the best part of 60 so be it.

Keeping him would be even more stupid.

Awful footballer. Terrible Captain and someone who should never play for us again.

I'm sure he will spend his career here though as the club is beyond idiotic
 
Pep would have him for 60m prob. He signs defenders for 60m routinely and if he doesn't like them he doesn't blame every single thing that goes wrong the next 5 years on then

I was going to put your valuation down as i think the max we would get would be about £20 mill. No one outside England would look at him and no top half of the table would want him. In fact its got a chance we cant sell him for even £20 mill and he will probably be let go on a free after his contract runs out.
 
Our best bet is to sell him to Newcastle for a cut-price deal. They'd want a player of his profile despite his wage demands.
 
We should find out where he's going on holiday this summer and all book flights to the same place.

Then we should follow him around, throwing grapes at his head until he flips and attacks one of us - film it and land him in jail for good.

Tough as old nails?? He has been constantly injured
 
I've really ever had hate for a Utd player but there is something about him that makes me properly despise him. I'd have him above Hitler and below James Corden in the all time cnut list maybe.

What choice has Ralf had though? He obviously knows some of these players aren't up to scratch. Let's see if that filters through over the summer.

As for Maguire, we can try and move him on but he's contracted and has to agree. A good start would be a new club captain over the summer to drop him a hint. Not sure who the right candidate is though?

Ronaldo if staying to cover a year and see who steps up, or De Gea seem the only options.
 
Think if he needed a defender he would. He isn't stupid enough to think Maguire will play like he does under Ralf for pep. And wanted him at that price a couple of years ago.

What kind of miracle powder do you think Pep has that suddenly injects a football brain nto Maguire while giving him new legs that can suddenly run faster than a snail and turn faster than a oiltanker?

No chance. Remember, Maguire will be 30 next year, and is one of the biggest meme players in football currently (for all the wrong reasons). Why in the world would City get him, when they are in position to handpick any defender they want? Maybe someone who isn't super slow, can play the ball out better, and doesn't cost a goal every game.

Don't get me wrong, it would be beautiful if it happened. I would over the moon. But it won't.

Why did he want him 2 years ago.. maybe because the stuff you said is not actually the case

Do you think he gets it though, when you suggest mental health?

I mean, he had either the audacity, or stupidity, to suggest in that interview played yesterday that, because the manager has been picking him, he must be doing well.

Sweet divine Jemima is all I can say to that. What a plonker. Seriously. Deluded or moronic. Possibly both?

You are right, they wouldn't want him for wrong reasons eg. Social media banter. But the actual player pep wanted and would want, if they needed a defender. Wierd intangibles, including playing for United, means they wouldn't do a deal
 
Can't some middle-eastern team (not City or Newcastle) buy him?

I miss the days of Chinese teams spending bucketloads on average players
 
I think it's in everyones best interest to move him on, at a considerable loss, to anyone that'll have him, anywhere on this planet. He's not getting any younger and has ended up becoming the poster boy for the modern failure of this club. I thought there was a way back for him, but he's sunk to such lows this season its hard to imagine him returning to any sort of form that would be deemed good enough.

Pep wouldn't want him because he is not a good enough footballer for a side that is challenging for every trophy, every year. Period.
 
Didn't City want him when we did? Or was that just them laying the bait for us to take, as some think they did with Ronaldo.

He's obviously staying, but I do think ETH won't have an issue dropping him, or taking the captanicy off him at all.
