He's a top player in my opinion, still think Timber would he a great signing and one we should go back in for.

Maguire would end up accidentally fouling the cameraman.Imagine Maguire trying that
I do like Timber. However I think we would have to play him at RB. I know Martinez is proving to be fine so far, but having Martinez and Timber as our CBs might be taking liberties.
I watched the dutch supercup between PSV and Ajax and PSV scored 2 goals from crosses and headers in the first half from Gakpo crosses to Til in the middle. So Ajax have a weakness there with Timber and Blind
Possibly, but he's exceptional at carrying the ball for a defender and quite quick. Almost like a midfielder out the back.
If we're to take anyone else from Ajax it should be Bassey. looks an exceptional talent.
I would sell Maguire and get Salisu next year. Very similar to Martinez and would be a good backup to him. Get Tomori or Geuhi in 2024 summer as Varane's backup. Or hopefully Kambwala or Fish proves their ability by then.
I think having Timber alongside Martinez would be too risky in prem. I know Martinez is proving doubters wrong but I do think a big guy like Varane next to him is a good balance.
Timber would immediately become our best RB anyway
No one is going to pay decent money for Maguire.
Decent money is us not paying part of his salary.
Sheriff Tiraspol 0:2 Man Utd
Dalot-Varane-Martinez-Malacia have conceded only 2 in 5 games, one each against Liverpool and Arsenal. Martinez especially is a monster. Superb reading of the game and love his excursions up the pitch.
Feck off Sounnes and Carragher and all the height-shaming meme makers.

One of those players who looks a class above every time he steps on the pitch IMO.
Dude has been exceptional, quickly become one of our most important players and I love his front foot aggressive style, such a change from Lindelof and co.
Pipe and slippers job for him today. No fuss at all.
Cannavaro regen
I think this might be the shortest time ever for a new signing to become my favourite player in the squad.
Reported for heightism!
I remember Ajax fans on here saying we’d absolutely love him when he signed. I can see exactly why. He makes you love him. He plays like a passionate fan.
Nice change to having the Blair Witch Project at the back (Lindelof and Maguire)
He's not only great at reading the game, but his passing is insane too, played an amazing ball to Ronaldo from the back. Ronaldo could have scored but he decided to go down and try and get a pen.
Barca went heavy on Kounde who is only an inch taller than Martinez, and people don't complain about his height. Martinez is a better passer and tackler than Kounde.
He's very good.
I do like him
He's basically an aggressive and agile Daley Blind (not quite as good of a passer but very good all the same). Which is what we all wish with Blind! Making him taller and faster as a top speed and he'd be a perfect CB pretty much.
Easily the best player on our side. What a signing!!
This guy is going to achieve iconic status for fans.. He has that fire, aggression and energy, but also the incredible quality to back it up. Makes everyone around him better by sheer force of will and power of example. Technically superb and with the heart of a lion.
For me, he is the first name on the team sheet. Absolutely superb fecking signing. People liken him to Heinze, but that’s just because they are both left footed and Argentinian. Heinze was a fiery warrior but he never had anything like the quality Martínez possesses. They guy is a rock, and his passing out from the back is as good or better than anyone in the league.
The player I compare him most to is Roy Keane. Not because of their positions or dominant foot, obviously, but because of what they bring to the team. Martinez has that “I wouldn’t want to get on his bad side” type feel that Keane had. He has an enormous personality on the pitch, a fighting spirit of leadership, but it is also allied to a huge amount of technical and positional excellence. A player who you feel is the embodiment of the manager on the field. Like Keane was for SAF.
He’s absolutely my favourite player at this moment in time. The Roy Keane of Center halves. Wait until Milner tries to bully Malacia in the tunnel, and Martinez stands up for him. You know it’s coming.

Freaking international game before our next game. Wish he could be bubble wrapped until the city game
Great purchase for us

It's like having a Carrick type player and a centre back in one. The way he can pass straight through the opposition is incredibly valuable.
He's both mental and calm. Certainly has huge potential to be a cult hero at United. Pretty young (for a CB) too!
Always nice to watch a player who has more space and time than others due to his exceptional skills.
It's crazy how young he is, you would think he was late 20s and in his prime.
Echo the thoughts of most on here, he is great. Something with all the new signings I like is they all seem such great characters, who are leaving it all on the pitch. I hope that doesn't change.
Phenomenal player. You just have to enjoy watching him play.
How's he not starting regularly for Argentina? If he continues to play like this he'd be worth every penny. If he continues to improve in his decision making and 1v1s he'd be world class.

(Aggressive-good technique)
Our away fans are already bringing Argentina flags. That says a lot.
Agree with the comments in here. He’s easily my favourite player to watch right now. Silky smooth on the ball and aggressive as hell in the challenge. Him and Varane are making defending fun to watch.
They should be arrested
Why?
This is GREAT BritainWhy?
Can't believe I fell for the supposed height problem and doubted him. What a player, oozes class.
