Surely you realise that being down to earth is just one of many qualities that a top player needs, amongst other things, but it’s still vitally important. We have seen a hell of a lot of exceptionally talented players waste that ability because they are too busy, drinking, partying, being unprofessional etc, that isn’t a risk with Maguire.
Maguire | NOT McGuire or MacGuire

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Don't want him at all 
Is it only English people that want him?
Yeah - Bailley has pace which Maguire lacks and isn't a rash.
Your initial contribution to the thread was childish and facile so its hard to take you seriously on the player.
Nice side-step.
Got some links/gift to back this up? I don't recall anything out of the ordinary on either account.
He was absolutely fantastic when he was at Hull, easily the best player we’ve had play for us in years. He’s a better version of Jones fewer brain farts and less likely to be injured.
Edit: You know what’ll happen if he joined United...

Get him. He's a leader, he's a player.
Don't let him go elsewhere.

Would be quality signing. Hope we go for him hard.
It isn't a side-step. Scouting reports include detailed reports on a player's character so what he said was valid within the context of the thread.
Your initial contribution was pathetic. I don't really see why you are laughing at someone when your own posting is of such low quality.
It seems people are going with the narrative of "Oh he's English, therefore he must be overrated and we are watching his performances with rose-tinted glasses".
When, in my opinion, some of his performances were of the highest-class. Strong in the air, good with his feet, cool temperament and seemed like he was never flustered.
Sign him up

shocked we couldnt find a 30 year old option
Think he has lapses and a mistake in him but so does Jones, Maguire would be a nice upgrade still.
Not for me. Neither so I want Pickford or Jordan Henderson.
There's no point in spending 50m on McGuire when we have Smalling in our squad. Lindelof had a good world cup and nobody seems to want him as a starter for us.
We need to be signing clear upgrades to raise our standards, this would just seem like a holding pattern to me.

I like that he is in your face aggressive. Think our defenders are too passive at times.
I'm not sure he's worth the money we'd have to pay for him
Seems we'll have to let WC tensions die down a bit before some Scots and Irish United fans will speak approvingly of a member of the England squad. Get the 3rd place game out the way and then they can just view players as potential United signings without seeing a white shirt.
Maguire looks a massive upgrade on the likes of Jones and Smalling to me. If Jose wants him that'll do me.

He would be an upgrade, not to an elite level but better than everyone else we have.
Who out there is better and available?
You think Smalling is as good or better? Really?
Maguire has bags of potential, its an obvious upgrade on Smalling.
I rather have Maguire for £50 million than a much older Alderweireld, who's had a couple injuries the last couple years, for Levy price.
Lindelöf-Bailly-Maguire for a future back 3 in 3-5-2 would be pretty sweet i think.

Who the feck is suggesting we get Henderson?
The sooner this place gets the world cup out of its system the better, maybe then people will start to be more rational again.
Smalling was fantastic for us last year. A handful of games in the summer doesn't change my mind.
Its not like this forum was burning down the walls when be moved to Leicester nor was he really put forward as an upgrade before June.
I don't see it with him, we shouldn't be signing any half decent player because we think he's marginally (he's not) better than what we have.
Alderweireld is my first choice but if we can't get him I guess Maguire isn't a bad second choice.
I would send Jones the other way.
Jesus christ. Fecking lighten up.
That would require you upping your wit level from beyond that of a 10 year old.
Maguire's only the thin end of the wedge lad, next it will be Hendo and before long Mourinho will be wearing a waistcoat!
Because he had a similar World Cup?
What else are we judging McGuire on or be happy to pay 50m for a player who only moved for 17m a few months ago?
He must have had a fantastic season for Leicester then so!
On a side note I've noticed I've always spelt his name wrong.
Maguire. Seems a bit rare when I'm surrounded by Mc everywhere I go
This is true, that we aren’t talented but we are hard coment is cringe as feck.
why have you been on this nationalist rage this past 2 weeks? Going on about people who don’t support England can’t be United fans and here you are trying to turn another thread in to your pissing contest. Take a step back man, just because some people don’t want him doesn’t mean they have an agenda against you or England. They maybe just don’t rate him.
I’m Scottish and I wouldn’t mind him but then we have loads of CB’s who are decent. It’s not like he’d be a massive improvement. For sure better than Jones and Rojo but that ain’t hard. You tho just seriously need to take a beat.

Good player but seems like a bit of a wanker. Would probably change my tune if he was our wanker though.
Don't think there is anything in this though.

I'd be fully on board with this. Two CBs with good passing range on each side and Bailly in the middle would be great. All only 24/25 too.
Wait until one becomes available or use our scouts.
Its 50m! If Lindelof for 30m was a waste of money last year because we needed fullbacks then there's no way in hell 50m for Maguire can be vindicated on any level
It was just a genuine query, I was starting to wonder if we really had gone mental as a nation and started to see every England player as a world class superstar
I don't remember saying if you don't support England you can't support Utd ever, so I'd probably not go down that route again mate if I was you, lets keep it factual.
Finally a thread for him. Agree with all those who think he would be a great signing. Has had a brilliant world cup and performed at a level beyond Smalling, Jones and Bailly.
Worth a punt.

I like him a lot as a player - always impressed me at Hull and Leicester whenever I watch them.
Has to be said though - what on earth are we doing bringing in yet another centre back?

I'm not actually fussed if we don't buy a CB, didn't want one at the start of the summer, didn't think it was our main point of issue. But seeing as we keep being linked with them, I hope we get the right one.
It's possible. He's nobody here in North Europe. Or at least was before World cup. But he had very good world cup, so i would say yes.
I think he would come in and replace Jones/Rojo rather than Smalling. Do agree he is not a clear enough upgrade though given how loaded we are at CB, with some gaping holes which need filling first in other positions.
