Not only isn't he benched, isn't he also still captain?

Not that people shouldn't talk a bit of shit on twitter, but I've always start to feel a little for the person Maguire. Most abused player online I read. Must be hard to deal with for any person. Look at @Qaas
But it's his persona

He comes across and continues to promote that English hooligan stereotype. If he was effective then I could understand but if I am a new coach and bring in my own CB I am shipping him out and using him as the example to shape up the rest of the squad.

They cannot sell him. No one wants Slabhead. He has no value unless United sell him for like 20m-30m and even then none of the other big 6 teams will touch him. Apart from maybe Conte. Lol

Varane is injury prone and Lindelof isn't good enough nor is Bailly and hes injury prone as well. They are stuck with him.

And that's not even getting into the captaincy situation. Apart from C dot after today's performance I don't even know who else they could give the captaincy too.
That really is their problem - no player plays close to their name or the hype.

Rashford has fallen off a cliff. When Sancho arrived I was shocked because it was clear Daniel James was more dynamic and effective for them even though inconsistent. A season later and Sancho looks so poor.

Under Fergie no names would be playing EPL teams off the park.

Yeah, but how do you ship him out? And to whom?

It will so thrilling to see Man Utd sink slowly into more misery and bewilderment.

Yeah true. Maguire acts like Liverpool players when they were not winning anything. Still its insane amount of abuse. Yeah sorry @Qaas love you.

I didn’t know about the kids. Thanks for enlightening me, still Ole? That club is nothing without red nose.
Sad part is those fuckers are unsinkable in terms of revenue but let’s all hope for their continued misery. Let them mint money like Arsenal so that Raymond James stadium is rebuilt like Rams stadium.

Also have to factor in that the NFL is so profitable and tv money is so financially rewarding they don't have to spend any money on the Bucs.

The best bit about the Glazers ownership and the people they hire. Is they signed off on a new contract extension for Bruno Fernandes when he still had something like 3 years left and didn't wait till they hired ten Hag. And now he's been completely useless for the last 12 months they cannot even sell him if they wanted too. Bruno might as well enrol at Manchester University and get a degree because he isn't leaving Manchester till its over.

Oh nfl is a money minting cabal even Cincinnati can be good without spending anything in free agency since it’s run as mom and pop shop. Pure refined communism that draft is and college Farm system without pay. Nfl is something else, top 10 epl teams are going to be similar

My biggest takeaway from today is how we responded. Udinese scored off the corner and we immediately went on attack mode and bagged 2 goals in 15 minutes. Udinese score right before half and we come out and score in 2 minutes. I saw it as an alright fuck you we’re gonna turn it on now. I hope we don’t have to do it all year, but great way to respond to giving up a goal.

Some have said it already, but I think we are going to score a lot of goals this year. We have a lot of options now upfront it’s quite a change from last year. No one is going to have to carry the team how Leao did at the end of the year because all of the attackers are going to contribute.

We fell asleep twice but other than that, great game from the boys. Not sure why everyone is freaking out about Pobega and Adli. Pobega played 10 minutes… give the guy a fucking chance. I don’t see Adli not coming on as a big deal. Long season and he’ll get plenty of minutes, not worried about that. I would like us to add another CB and mid but that has nothing to do with the confidence in Pobega. We play a lot of games this year and need some bodies. I am worried about Fik or Kalulu going down and relying on Kjaer. I love the guy and think he can still be great but we play so many games this year just need more coverage. I’d love to add Diallo for the position and to cover Theo

Utd's gordon had feasibility study done in Fergie's final yr and the report came back saying Utd are a semi shit club only kept up and running on the pich through the manager's sheer will and precious little else.

United pay ridiculous wages. I like Sancho but he's on something like 385k a week. It took KDB till last season to get that wage at Citeh.

Rashfood is broken. Basically Ole overused him ran him into the ground and then broke his back. Then he came back and then had a shoulder injury for ages which he put off having surgery for to play in the Euros and we know how that ended and he hasn't been the same since. Also he has hasn't been coached so he's picked up so many bad habits his game has gone to shit. Doesn't look up and tries to score from outside of the box when there are a wall of defenders between the ball and goal.

To me Sancho game is more European and would be better suited to any league but the PL. Personally I think he should be playing #10 in the PL.

Uniteds problem since Red Nose retired there is no longer any jeopardy the club. None of the players fear for their places or coaches. Mourinho tried but he turned the situation too toxic. Ole was basically a supply teacher in comparison to the authoritarian head teachers that Mourinho and LVG were.

I was wondering why Manure lost so bad and then I saw the lineup :lol:

ZERO tracking back, Eriksen as a DM, and Maguire at the back? De Gea needs a raise and mental health sessions

Ante is a Milan legend. Usung hero of the resurgence.

If you're not over the moon about him being back in form, are you even a Milan fan? :proud:
Man has 26 goals in 78 games for us in the league.
That's a goal every 3 games, even with his low output last season.

I still remember it was the last week of January, we were about to sell him after an underperforming first half of the season.
Then this happened.


Everyone remembers Theo's belter, but forgets who really won us the match that day.

Not enough athletes. While the PL has become more technical in recent times you still need players who either offer physicality or have good mobility ideally both especially at CB and CM you'llget bullied. Just like what happend to Citeh in Peps first season.

I was critical of him last season because he just didn't have much production for a variety of reasons.

Very happy he is back to his terrorising self

I'm starting to hate his character though, wasn't decent to begin with, and went downhill real fast. Like that Isak bs, come on bitch lol

I don’t even hate his character. Dude worked so hard and was very good for 17 months. He is just dumb, thinks very highly about himself but worked like a dog and he fucked up many counters. he is so stupid esp his comments when he joined inter or posting his wife cheating on Twitter.

Agreed and they're about to overpay once again for a player that doesn't change the midfield (De Jong).

Manure is just a mess from top to bottom. You would think the SD would take more responsibility for assembling a team, given how frequently they change coaches, but coaches and management just point fingers at each other.

Anyone can look like a world beater when you’re selective to what you show.

Here is an example.
