My man of the match
That's a strange take since the stuff he was doing well today is pretty much what Smalling generally did. Dominating in the air, blocking shots and cutting out the passes coming into the box.If he was absent and it was back to the days of Smalling and Blind, Everton would have had a field day. He dominated our box. That was the perfect game for him, hopefully we'll see more of this.
He'd either still be at Leicester or at Man City. Pep wanted him when we signed him but we were willing to pay more.Question,
If we weren't in for Maguire which club would he have ended up at?
This sums him up.As I've said previously Maguire isn't good enough a first choice central defender that enables you to win the league but he was excellent today.
I have a lot of strong memories against West Ham and Everton where we were losing every battle in the air despite Fellaini.That's a strange take since the stuff he was doing well today is pretty much what Smalling generally did.

Difference is though Maguire can bring the ball out and pass it and pass forward which is a big difference even though I like smallingThat's a strange take since the stuff he was doing well today is pretty much what Smalling generally did.

This.Thought he was like a rock today. Evertons game plan did suit him but he was immense on the balls in to the box.
The guy is a much better player than a lot on here give credit. He’s perfectly capable of being part of a title winning side.As I've said previously Maguire isn't good enough a first choice central defender that enables you to win the league but he was excellent today.
Or they just bring his price tag into it.Brilliant yesterday. His haters try to pretend these performances don’t exist
Apparently Ole likes him doing that.He looked really determined today. Very likely his best game this season. That defending tackle he made in the second half in the penalty was the first time I remember he went in hard in his United career. He, together with Bruno, was my MoM today.
My biggest gripe is him taking too many touches and holding the ball too much. Needs to move the ball much more quickly to deny giving the opposition time to organise themselves, get in shape and mark our players out.
This was his first of the kind for United though. He hasnt been anywhere close to this level for us before.Brilliant yesterday. His haters try to pretend these performances don’t exist
He has had the odd game here and there like this. Although this is probably the first since the lockdown last season.This was his first of the kind for United though. He hasnt been anywhere close to this level for us before.
But he was excellent against Everton, and if he keeps up this level I will happily eat crow for being one of those not thinking he is good enough.
100 % Man City. Pep wanted him and there was video of him admitted that he wanted him. City didn’t want to pay more 70m and pretty sure his price would have dropped this year due to covid and both clubs will finally find an agreement of fees.Question,

good on Southgate for playing him. It seems it was mostly Utd fans who were having a go at him, which is somewhat strange, but not unexpected from our toxic fanbase.Just proved the doubters wrong.
He hasn’t proved any such thing. He has demonstrated that he can perform at a very high level. He has actually done it before; he was consistently very good for four or so months before lockdown.Just proved the doubters wrong.
