Id trade him for an empty vending machine.
Again that’s nonsense. He may not be Manchester United quality but he has proven that he can play in this league. You’re forgetting his form at the start of the season.
For a 50 million quid player, I couldn't believe how technically deficient he was in his first games for United. Can barely control and pass the ball, and it hasn't improved much since. For that amount of outlay, you'd want a player who at least has his basic technique down.
Is this narrative still doing the rounds?
There’s a reason United fans used to call him the wall
Hes out of position, out of form
Hes out of position, out of form
Absolute limited footballer this guy is. If I had a choice to let go one player it would be him.
He definitely looks shot in terms of his confidence, but at the same time as others have mentioned, his defending in space is still bad and he has regressed in terms of what he was beginning to do further up the pitch. At this point can we realistically expect him to develop in those areas which are pretty damn important in a modern fb? I don't think so.
It's not good to see him performing this way, and I thought he was beginning to progress previously. But I'm just of the opinion that he can't do what is needed and needs to be sold if at all possible.
I'm hardly a big AWB fan at the best of times, but my god he was bad today.
Get rid.
50 million fecking pounds. The last decade needs to be studied in classtooms. People should be going to jail.
Sorry, what narrative?! That we spent 50 million quid on a fairly technically limited player?
On his day hes a very good full back. Of late he looks almost disinterested.
He was shocking today

AWB has no place in a team that's aiming to play any kind of football. There are right backs in the Championship who have better touch and on the ball ability. £50m after looking at 800+ fullbacks. FFS!
What an awful player. He has no intensity or intelligence to his game. Can’t pass, doesn’t know how to position himself, seems uninterested. The chance he wasted today was comically bad.
Posters love slating players on here, absolutely live for it... Go and have a wank or something ffs
Didn't he play on the right today as he did in midweek? That's just what i heard, I didn't see the match
That he can’t control a football. It’s pure nonsense
AWB and Dalot cant have a bad match. If they do it brings out the asylum inmates typing with their tongues because their arms stuck in a straight jacket.
He was okay today, poor the past game and has been good overall this season. There are better rightbacks but hes fine. He's not the reason we try to bore teams to death with the slowest buildup in the league, thats the manager and midfield. He should have done better with his chance to shoot where he didnt even get his shot away. Thats about it

He looks totally devoid of confidence
The whole team does. It's fallen off a cliff....
No argument there, not surprised really
I think I have this with probably more than half the squad, but he really does epitomise it for me. There have been times where I thought he was good, then terrible, then maybe good, then maybe both, then getting good enough and now I'm back to thinking he is just not good enough, even as a squad player.
If he's got a year left on his deal I think he should definitely be moved on in the summer.

The fact that he didn't even try to shoot when received that pass in the box is enough for me to let him rot in the reserves forever.
He's not programmed to be in a situation like that, he clearly didn't know what to do
Any Sunday league player would know what to doHe's not programmed to be in a situation like that, he clearly didn't know what to do
Tbh I don't blame him for that particular situation, I had no hope whatsoever he'd shoot, just wanted the attack to keep goingAny Sunday league player would know what to do
Awful performance from him, surprised if he even broke a sweat with all that slight jogging, has no football brain and is just clueless.
How our standards have fallen. He is clearly not good enough.
He's so frustrating. An excellent one on one defender, but so limited that he's a big hindrance to how we play.
Saw someone on Twitter say he was winding the shot up like a Looney Tunes character
He would be excellent signing for teams which play defensive football with full backs who have only defensive duties. Attacking wise he is way out of depth to play in a team which want to play attacking football.
Unfair. He’s a neat and tidy full back that’s playing for the wrong club. He’d be great for Dyche or Moyes.
The constant up and down and exposure at United makes him look terrible. He’s still a PL player.
Reckon he's available on loan? Don't think we would have enough to buy him but we need a RB this summer and he would be a good option.
He has a year left on his contract so obviously we’ll try to sell him but I wouldn’t be surprised if we failed to do that, will loan him and lose him for free in 2025.
Can see Palace coming in for him for around £15m. Joel Ward and Nathaniel Clyne still get games for them.
I think he's an excellent tackler, incredibly athletic, and a solid defender in most aspects, but his positional awareness worries the heck out of me. Like what the feck was he doing against Coventry nearly playing their striker onside? If you're a centre back like Maguire you don't trust him when setting an offside trap.
No matter how good someone is in one on one situations you can't win stuff with defenders who don't read the game. It is a shame because he has so many positives.

Other than tackling, I don't see him having any strength. His decision making is getting worse since joining and he is as unreliable as Onana, our 2 biggest weakness in the defence. It has been several years with us and it's time for him to move on.
Can't wait for Shaw to come back.
I think he knows this is his last season with us and his performances reflect that, we extended Dalot but not him and we are constantly linked with right backs. I think he is fully amoritized at this point so from a PSR lens any full sale helps us and as others have said, for a Dyche or a Moyes style team he would be an asset so I can see something around 10M this summer as doable.
