VillaChris Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 He dosen't want to play in europa league, that's the main issue. Guess they could always just rest him for whole tournament and then wheel him out for a potential final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes down to it and it’s EL I expect he’ll play over not playing at all. I’m pretty shocked that ETH still not only has Maguire in the side but also as captain. There was a chance to sort out one of their major issues as he’s gone for more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Crazy how Joao Felix bossed that game after coming on at 60 minutes. He is now one of the best in Europe without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steero113 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire have received the most Twitter abuse of any Premier League players, a new report has found. Ofcom analysis of 2.3 million tweets in the first half of last season found nearly 60,000 abusive posts, affecting seven in 10 top-flight players. Half of that abuse was directed at just 12 individuals - eight from United. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62390281 Class 'fanbase'.

maqroll Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Hilarious that there's already drama after some players left early from their last game! Ten Hag not pleased and complaining about it to the press. The more things change... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Such a shame to see such a historic and massive club be disrespected like this. Fergie must be rolling in his drinks cabinet. Edited August 4, 2022 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, but it's more to do with the backlash they will get from their sponsors than football. When you pay to be the official noodle partner of man utd. You are paying for star players and instagram followers. United have only one big name player, CR7. The rest are nobodies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just the really harsh personal stuff? Or does calling Maguire slab head and a crap defender count? If it does then the whole country is guilty.

Genie Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I hate to be all “if SAF was there” but there’s no way he’d persevere with Maguire regardless of how much he cost. He isn’t good enough, end of. Move him on and buy someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm enjoying it. He’d get another PL side, maybe back to Leicester? United would have to cut their losses and do a package to move him on. This is assuming they are serious about getting back to competing at the top. They are so badly run though. Compare what we did with Carney and what they did with Pogba. They should have sold him last year for £40-60m but instead he leaves for free (again). Moving him Maguire on and paying up his contract is small change for them, but they are useless.

His heads gone, good enough player in there for a good manager to work with though Varane is the same, became a bum overnight when he joined utd It’s all linked together. When players like Verane see the club persevering with the likes of Maguire then they aren’t going to move mountains. Same as Pogba, does **** all for 5 years, still gets offered a £280k/w contract at the end and leaves for free anyway. The club have looked incredibly amateurish. Lingard another player who the squad must be looking at wondering what the club is playing at. £20-30m player last year, retained, didn’t play, lost for nothing. Would Rashford still be at the club under SAF or would he have been sold to Everton, Leicester or us by now? If the club are ruthless in their pursuit of excellence then it feeds through the players. The opposite is happening. It’s a holiday camp, and TH giving Maguire the captaincy again shows the circus is still going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting their losses on Maguire will cost money that the owners won't see in dividend. They've basically become Arsenal when Wenger was in charge. They don't have any ambition to win things anymore as that costs too much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
