'Sensible fans' hate one of our own players because a previous manager clearly overpaid for him and overpromoted him, and he's been on a rotten run of form for the last season or so? Yes he's frustrating and underwhelming and loads would like him sold, but the level of vitriol from our own fans is deeply unpleasant. Some clearly revel in his failings so they can shit on him more.
If you think he doesn't get abuse from oppo fans try watching an England match.

More fool Southgate for picking him too. Should be nowhere near that England team either. No other top 6 team would have him on their bench, but he's our captain and starter.

And yeah, Pogba had a great time here didn't he? Not many seem to be too disturbed about that? Lingard, Rashford and Fred also felt the 'love' of United fans on a regular basis. But let's all cry for Harry fecking Maguire.

He's the symbol of everything wrong with United right now.

Several of our players get abuse that unnecessarily veers into the personal, but we're in the Harry Maguire thread, so we're discussing him.

I don't think Maguire, a fairly earnest, but at best solid but unspectacular defender with limited pace, defender is the epitome of everything wrong with United. He's indicative of ill-judged recruitment, but not the kind of petulant mercenary we've also been regularly overpaying for.

If he is going to play, I'd have thought most 'sensible fans' would want him to at least return to the functional defender he initially was so he can at least be of use this year then moved on more easily over the summer. I don't get the fervid hatred he attracts, nor the seemingly gleeful pile-ons whenever he makes a mistake.

That's the point! This is Manchester United. We should not be putting up with earnest, functional players and especially installing them as captain. This is why he is the epitome of what is wrong with United. Look at how City splashed out on GKs and defenders, realised they could do with better and did exactly that, bought better. They're moving like a big team now.

He's never going to be good enough for Manchester United so why bother with him. It's not his fault, he struck gold with the United deal but they should be big enough to say sorry, pal you're just not what we need. But what is irking United fans is they won't even bench the fecker! And it's not as if we don't have better alternatives too. Like I said, no other top 6 side would even have him on their bench.

His lack of self-awareness is shocking too and the fact he regularly hides as captain when we lose is disgraceful. Sorry, the more I think/talk about this guy the less appeal and redeeming qualities he has.

Just get rid of the fecker. He is trash!

It was Eriksen coming towards the ball to draw a midfielde out of the areas that a second ball would be contested. Jesus Christ no wonder you don't get it.

And a long ball would go past midfield. You don't need to draw in a midfielder to go direct to a forward. This play is done to make a first time pass to a wide player and Erikson messed it up. This play happens several times per game without issue

 

[NewYorkRed]

Can’t see him starting for us regularly in 2-3 weeks. It’ll be Varane and the new kid (tbh not convinced about Martinez either but lets see how he does this season, far too early to judge).

 

[Adamsk7]

So between Ronaldo, Varane and Casemiro we have 14 Champions League medals and Maguire is the captain……

Go to the minute mark of this video and see the pass Henderson gives his player. The guy has several Valencia players around him. Henderson doesn't give him that pass because he thinks he's open. He gives him that pass because another player is open who he can then pass it to. It's really pretty basic stuff

Ronaldo would rather play for Chelsea you think he should be made captain? Who gives a feck how many medals he has.

Its a completely different situation.

 

[Mibabalou]

He is the albatross. No matter who we sign elsewhere in the pitch he will never be an elite CB who is a starter for a PL / CL winning side.

Meh. Ronaldo, Casemiro and Varane will play the part of Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kane. Meanwhile, Harry Maguire plays the Paul Bearer part.

Glazers trying everything to take our attention away from the Glazers Out movement. Hilarious

 

[Revaulx]

You’re forgetting what Harry says: 3 managers have picked him as captain, so he’s a great captain.

Yawn. One manager "picked him" as captain. The other two have chosen to leave the captaincy where it is; rightly in my opinion, as it's the way it's always been done.

The only time I can remember an incumbent United player losing the captaincy was Wilkins when Fat Ron gave it to Robson. All the other captaincy changes have been due to the player leaving or retiring.

 

[AdNani]

Think it's best for both parties for him to leave, he's NEVER going to win the fans over.

Varane is better and Martinez is going to play. IF Chelsea is interested then we should go for it.

 

[Adisa]

He's a disgrace. His people brief that he's unhappy when it comes out that he might be dropped.

I’d rather us disband the club than sign Harry Maguire.

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

Do it, revenge for Matic and Mata

Can’t think of a better CB in the history of world football you’d rather sign. Go on. Do it.

 

[17Larsson]

Not a chance is this true!
To get rid of Maguire and at the same time get money and make another PL team weaker, it would be dream land.

Tuchel isn't stupid though

 

[BluesJr]

Stay strong Leicester. We need this.

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

At least Matic and Mata served us well as first-class professionals and top human beings. Maguire would not even be fit to shine their shoes.

I would bite if the offer stands for real.

G’wan mate. We’ll chuck in Ronaldo for free as well.

 

[Delano]

Whatever the price, take it. He's absolutely shot to pieces.

 

[Mainoldo]

We could never of said no. £50m they can have him.

Go buy Anderson.

Come on man! Don't be like that. T.Silva and Koulibaly are there to baby-sit him in a back 3 and he will be actually OK in your setup covering for his weaknesses.

 

[Nou_Camp99]

Chelsea won't be signing Maguire ffs. Don't get your hopes up chaps. We just aren't that lucky.

 

[Orc]

Has he ever even played in a back 3 for any extended run?

 

[Mainoldo]

He’s world class in a back 3 man.

Why the feck would we want the "LeBron James of soccer".
