Maybe Woodward was right when he denied Jose this signing the 1st time around.
Should have stuck to his guns for once.

I'm sorry, but this just isn't true. Kepa is regularly called one of the worst GKs in the league. He has conceded more goals than xG suggests he should, and he has one of the worst save percentages in the top 7 leagues. He's (rightfully) criticized much more than Maguire, let alone "any of Manutd signings".This is because he plays for Manutd. If you have a look at Kepa at Chelsea being the most expensive keeper, he has probably been worse than Maguire has in terms of performance.
I know one is a keeper and one a CB, but Kepa gets no criticism compared to any of Manutd signings.
There is a finer microscope used when it comes to judging Manutd players.
The best decisions Woodwards ever taken at this club, when he's actually told the managers to feck off. But then he's at fault for not 'backing them'. No win-situation.Maybe Woodward was right when he denied Jose this signing the 1st time around.

Indeed.Why would anyone be surprised? The myth of him being a great defender(or even a very good one) has never really been backed up by performances. Runs forward with the ball and winning a few headers might make a nice MOTD highlight reel but they sure don't mean you are a top CB. Unfortunately Utd bought into the hype.
His positioning is better than average... with his speed and agility that is so vital for his game.But really; in what area he is good( for Man Utd first team defender)?
Positioning? Average
Speed?
Passing? Solid
Leadership in defence? Not seeing it
Good in air? Is he really that good in air?
Marking? Average
He is not thát badOur very own Mustafi.
Vidic had much quicker reactions than Maguire, he wasn't lighting but he had a mobility that Maguire lacks. Steve Bruce would struggle in the PL of today, a warrior against the long ball football of the day, ridiculously brave, great leader, but even at his peak he was slow and that kept him out of international football.He is a bit slow but so were Vidic and Bruce. I'm not making excuses for him but seriously guys his position is the last that should be currently questioned and that, after today, includes De Gea.
Mustafi got one assist with his great passing! Maguire hasn't done anything for us all yet.Our very own Mustafi.
Arsenal? Mourinho and Spurs? West Ham and Moyes?Can we still sell him for 40m? Any taker?
You have to give him time.
Maybe an extra second or so to react and another second if he has to chase someone.
