Maguire's Redemption | One-year option triggered

Harry Maguire has been on the end of unfair comments during his time at United. He should be given credit for not being one of the underminers we seem to have specialised in post Sir Alex and he was a good choice going by his England team experience and reputation as a team player.

It`s not about character in that way - it`s just that Harry`s flaws in a sub par United team are going to be highlighted by his defensive flubs. He`s never been quick and doesn`t have dimensions to his game to help him as he gets older. We need to move him on while he has some real value left.

Who would buy him in reality? He has a year left, is on decent wages (which we know he won't give up as refused to move to WHUM because of it) and is about to turn 32. Might get a few million but who would put him in their starting XI. Maybe he could have an emotional return to the Blades if they come up, but they won't be paying big money.
 
Whatever you want to say about Harry he's a top pro, he didn't give up after he was getting slammed every week from Fans and press and pundits..

It's games like today that suit him. He'll be back to his old shenanigans soon enough and that's why he really should be moved on. You can't have a player that blows hot and cold like him playing in defence.
 
Did well at both ends and got us the winner tonight when everyone thought we’d lose at HT.
 
They have triggered the plus one year so he is here for another season and that’s ok as he will gradually get worse and is fine for a back up.

Didn't say he stays he's Been great to not be brought into some of the nonsense that was said about him especially in press and ex pros .
He's been given his year extension and I realy don't think there will be another after that.
He's been a mile better this season , and I tell you what he does give you is that he's always Available very rare he's injured or suspended.
 
I wish we could sell him in the summer for 20m in the summer and recoup at least some of the money we spent on his transfer.
 
Going to be interesting to see if Tuchel has him in his first squad in a couple of weeks.

It was a simple shrewd decision by Maguire to stay, probably on the advice of his agent.
