Amazing player, has been fantastic 99% of the games he’s played in, gets criticised for being an “overpriced English player” he’s better than most CB’s in the league just doesn’t have the PR most players do, he was everyone’s favourite CB before he signed for United, as soon as he signed for us he got a load of shit, and most of our fickle fans jumped on the bandwagon. He’s the best defender in the league bar Van Dijk.
Best defender in the league after Van Dijk? What makes you claim that? He has been good in the last 2 months, nothing world class, but prior to that, extremely inconsistent, prone to error and his pace has caught him out many times. The best I have seen Maguire at United was the run of games he had next to Bailey in December 2020. Maguire's best form will only come when we have a player that compliments his owns assets, world class defenders can play with anyone. I really hope he kicks on, I always try to support United players whether its Lingard or Bebe, but sometimes you need to be realistic. For me, it has nothing to do with his price tag, he needs a partner that can cover him when he is out of position. He should also be scoring much more from set pieces. A centre back should be pur priority this summer.
Edit: also, i cannot stand the passive abuse some fans give each other by calling each other fickle for having a opinion. I don't dismiss your opinion, I can only challenge it. It's the same with managers, they have there preferred players, look at Ole with DVB. Other managers would have had him in the first 11 by now.
