Maybe Woodward was right when he denied Jose this signing the 1st time around.

Should have stuck to his guns for once.

Forget the ludicrous transfer fee, he just isn’t a very good player.

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.
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".

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.

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.

Indeed.
All of above was said by many posters here during the summer.

If our scouts just look at a highlights reel of Leicester city last season they would have concluded he wasnt worth anything close to 80mil.

But really; in what area he is good( for Man Utd first team defender)?
Positioning? Average
Speed? :lol:
Passing? Solid
Leadership in defence? Not seeing it
Good in air? Is he really that good in air?
Marking? Average

Should have done much better for the first goal. Our set pieces are terrible though so I think that is on our management too.
Not too much wrong apart from that, but didn't do that much. Jones did better and had more to do since they aimed most of the long balls towards him in the first half. Second half they just parked the bus after the second goal.

His weaknesses with his lack of speed didn't really show today so I think people attacking him are a big harsh.
Our errors on set pieces might not be just Maguire since we concede a lot from them in all games.

His positioning is better than average... with his speed and agility that is so vital for his game.

Maguire haters out in force... sleeping for first goal yes...but why are fans always blaming individuals who have an off game or make a mistake? Lingard one week, then Pereira, then shaw, then lindelof, now maguire
Had we won no one would say owt.

Bottom line is the club is a mess, total mess, no quality in midfield, no flair players, no creativity and sadly for OGS no style of play or any encouraging signs. He looks lost and he may even walk.. i feel.for james, mason.and brandon such good prospects but there is no quality experience around them.

Never rated him really. Overhyped after the World Cup and Utd were drawn in hook, line and sinker.

Nobody else you could really give the captaincy to though and that is damming of Utd’s current state.

Clown.

Was never fond of him before we bought him. What a waste of money. Won't get much criticism because he's english. If he was south american the knives would've been out in full force.

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.

He's been disappointing this season for me. Never worth 80m.

There's still a very good player there. Need's a much quicker partner to offset his speed.

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.

Said he was a carthorse some time ago and I'm sticking with it. Slow, bumbling, shambles at 26. If he's still here at 30 I dread to think. At the very least he should be clearing the occasional corner or freekick but not even that. Amazing what you can get for 80 million these days.

Whole captain isnt big deal for me but i find it weird, shouldnt player earn a captain armband, from fecking Young who became symbol of everything fecked with us to someone who is just few months in the club.

He really was never that good but the header at the world cup skewed opinions on him massively he was overrated as feck since then.

I cannot believe we sanctioned £80m on a non injury prone Jones because of this idea that he will be a leader for some reason. We would have been much better off keeping Smalling and spending the money on some midfielders instead of this lump.

4 months of just ok performances = Manchester United captain ffs
