On what basis? what have you seen in him to warrant this statement? with the lot we have i'd take any of the defenders listed instead of him any day because they all have a functioning brain.

Would they start him ahead of Amartey and Soyuncu?? Doubt it.
Bailly, Jones and Rojo used to get stick all the time but this guy gets a free pass?
Smalling couldn’t play modern football, shocking on the ball and for me had as many mistakes in him. Maguire has proven to be better for club and country this season aside.
Jones and Bailly are never fit and both make horrible mistakes on the regular because of combination of fitness and being stupid (ironic you’d say Maguire is less of a thinker than these).
He’s played alongside Lindelof and clearly shown he’s a better player. Last season we missed Maguire in the Europa final and Lindelof fell apart without him.
Evans is the closest to him ans is a good player but I’ve rarely seen a player with a weaker mentality at Utd. He had the chance to step up after Rio/Vidic and delivered a shocking season well on par with Maguire’s poor season this time around.
Overall, recently bias aside Maguire has just shown a much better combination of fitness and attributes than any of the others. He’s directly competed with most of then and despite inconsistencies he’s looked the best of the bunch more often than not. Again it won’t go don’t well on here though because Maguire has been declared the worst player 4everrr on social media.
well they did start him ahead of Amartey for years
Soyunchu is completely shite so yes he’d play ahead of him comfortably. Fofana is class though.
You're feckin kidding right

I'm just answering your question. What was your point?
My point was that he is shite. Playing for England means squat, which is why I mentioned the likes of Fred and Bailly who play for their countries also but are constantly slammed on here.
Why isn't Maguire shite for England? Also Ivory Coast are hardly on England's level. And people slating Fred are beyond help.
We all know that Southgate doesn't pick on form but goes by name. And most of England's games have been against lesser teams.
How has that been working out for Rashford and Sancho? Maguire was in the Euro 2020 team of the tournament, hardly shite then was he.
**sigh** so was Romelu Lukaku. You're not very good at this are you?
Anyway, make the most of him this season, cause he won't be starting next season that's for sure.
Have you missed the 1,000s of posts on this forum alone of people moaning about Maguire?
Bailly, Jones and Rojo used to get stick all the time but this guy gets a free pass?
Or was this just an absolutely ridiculously dim thing to post that you now regret?
A FREE PASS?!

have you read this thread?Um no, these montages are always informative. This is his performance thread isn't it?
Has to be the dimmest post of 2022 doesn't it. By a long wayA FREE PASS?!
Lukaku is a bad player now is he? It's almost like players play better in some systems than others.#

quite an award to win given the season we've had.Ooh, do I get something?Has to be the dimmest post of 2022 doesn't it. By a long way
If your agenda is that strong against Maguire that you want him replaced then we need to sign 3 central defenders who are better, because as it stands, Maguire is our second best central defender. You don't improve a team by replacing players at the top. YOu improve a team by replacing players at the bottom. So first we replace Bailly, then Lindelof, then we can find someone to replace Maguire (I don't even count Jones but if I did then it would mean we sign 4). But that probably makes too much sense for your mind to comprehend
His decision making is fine. The problem is that the agenda is so strong against him everything he does is put under a microscope and over analyzed to death in order to find ways to blame him
At least you can finally admit it. Don't worry though...you aren't alone. There are a ton of muppets hereYou and your logic are absolutely hilarious. Yes I am brainwashed over Maguire, I sit here reading other peoples quotes and repeat it. Your words are basic and so is your intellect so I agree with one thing, there is no point talking with me. Good riddance
What's the matter? Did that make too much sense? I get it though...you just want to blame Maguire but then claim you don't have an agenda. Just another muppet
Its not really. Not at all. If you watch the games you can see that he choses the wrong option 7 out of 10 times. I will list a few
1. Heading balls back into no mans land for no reason whatsoever. Without being pressured if i may add
2. Rushing into players for no reason.
3. Getting in the way of other defenders.
4. Holding the ball for way too long on his feet.
5. Not having the self realization that he is slow and can be turned over by a someone with an ounce of pace but still being out of position.
6. Zero command over the defensive setup. As a leader and main CB he needs to communicate with other defenders.
7. Misses more headers than connect in his own penalty box
8. Delayed responses inside the box
I can go on but you get the point. Like i said he is a decent defender but not good enough for United. Unless he decides to correct his weakness
But maguire isnt making highly sophisticated tactical error that resulted from lack of passing gk.
His error are selfmade and clumsy. No excuse.
Infact it's DDG who got the short hand of the deal having to deal with so many players he failed to mark
Irony overload.. That actually makes very little sense. Buying a quality CB to replace Maguire in the line up, with Varane injury free that would have Varane and the new CB starting, with Lindelof, Bailly and Maguire as back up on the bench. No idea behind your logic of having to sign 3 CBs to replace Maguire as a starter.
John O'Shea at his best nutmeg Figo.
Its what you do week in week out that counts as a CB. Brilliant tackle is only the bonus icing
I was just about to reply with almost identical wordsA FREE PASS?!
The level of shit thrown at our players (not just Maguire) from supposed members of our fan base is unreal. You can't help but question if many of these people are United fans at all.
I mean, that's a personal preferenceWhat a load of shite
Don't tell me how I feel god dammit! Seriously though, what an unlikeable cockwomble.
I suspect that such comment was meant as a jab towards United's former way of doing things which relied heavily on the football people ability to spot a talent without the need of technology. Back then Jon Murtough was busy 'restructuring' the recruitment and scouting department through buzz words such as data analysing etc. There's nothing necessary wrong with using technology to aid decision making. However as a data analyst myself I assure you that stats gives part of a picture. It requires experience and brains to interpret that data correctly. Maguire and AWB are one dimensional players who can only be efficient in a defence that defends in numbers and in a deep line. At a combined price of 130m one expects to sign players who can fit well in different systems just in case the manager decides to change his game. Unfortunately our geniuses couldn't figure out that football was moving on and that a deep line defence was becoming increasingly unsuited for a top team in the EPL.
Which is why I believe that United need some serious restructuring. In my opinion Rangnick should become sporting director with Mitchell as head of recruitment
Liverpool 4:0 Man Utd
Played poorly.
Don't think the two goals he's being blamed for are his fault fault as some of the usual agenda peddlers will no doubt posit. Needs the season to end and to regather. Much like the rest of his teammates.

Disgrace in every sense of the word. What the club does with Maguire this summer will indicate if we're trying to be serious or not. Move him on whatever it costs us.
He's just comically bad.
Needs to go.
Needs to go.
Bin this guy, that's all I want right now
80m down the drain.
Harry Maguire strikes again.
Harry Maguire strikes again.
Made a mistake for 3 of the 4 goals. Not necessarily the main one but a mistake none the less
Maybe he isn't the worst player, maybe I'm very harsh but I feel that he symbolises everything wrong with this club at the moment.
We need to move on. There is no coming back from this, he has lost trust of fans. He's a walking meme, like it or not. Better for him to move on too, he's better than this and this too big of a step. He doesn't understand this club at all
