Is the discussion in here not more about his future at United now?Maguire hasn't played for 3 games so it's odd that people are still going out of their way to dump on him. Can't we just enjoy our current success and leave out the targeted criticism for a bit (given that it's irrelevant to our current form)?
Agreed. We need to rest Varane ideally so it’s perfect for him to come in and do somethingHe should play in the Europa League game midweek to let us see if he can redeem himself.
It largely is in here for the most part, to be fair. The Maguire hatred has definitely permeated through the entire fanbase, though, and still does to an extent. He's definitely the totem for everything that was previously wrong with the club (which I sort of get - overpriced, underperformer, questionable mentality) and it'd be really great if the personal memey stuff would die out. As you said, in this specific thread it's not actually that bad though which is good.Is the discussion in here not more about his future at United now?
Some people will still dump on him due to the bad taste he’s left in peoples mouths after the last season and a bit, he hasn’t helped himself with his comments either. From what I’ve seen it’s just people suggesting there’s no way for him to get back into this side under this manager.
Oh for sure, he gets battered on social media also, I think a bunch of us have said previously though that he’d get way less stick if he wasn’t the captain. It’s a lightning rod position when you’re losing, people look for leadership and inspiration and all you get from him is looking at the floor when we concede, looking completely resigned to getting beat and saying we have to do better after the game. Admittedly some of the other players have hid behind him but he never should have been made captain in the first place.It largely is in here for the most part, to be fair.

No, my response to you as I've also questioned other Maguire sympathisers is were you this vociferous in the Pogba, Rashford, Fred, Martial, Shaw etc. threads? Or are you just acutely defensive where Maguire is concerned? And if so, why?So your response is that you also abuse rashford.
Just don’t abuse players, criticize their performances on field and stop there. Why is this simple fact so hard for you that you have to pull out another 50 different cases of what aboutisms?No, my response to you as I've also questioned other Maguire sympathisers is were you this vociferous in the Pogba, Rashford, Fred, Martial, Shaw etc. threads?

He's ultimately not on the same level as Varane or Martinez. It's not even a controversial thing to say or a "maybe it's close" scenario where he can work his way in. He's not close to those 2 and the vast majority of managers would see it that way as well. Fitness and rotation is the only thing that will give Maguire gametime this year.Feel sorry for him now.
Should have left during the window but he probably knows he wont get to play at a club as big as this one ever again, hence why he’s still here.
Wish ETH could get a tune out of him and he could answer all his critics but I just dont see that fight in him, so relegated to the bench and secondary matches, he will only come in if a certain team plays to his limited strengths.
Because unless your protestations are consistent elsewhere, your comments here mean jack.Just don’t abuse players, criticize their performances on field and stop there. Why is this simple fact so hard for you that you have to pull out another 50 different cases of what aboutisms?
Before touching the ballYellow within 5 minutes
Less than a minute. It was literally his first playYellow within 5 minutes
That was on Casemeiro. I am all for saying Maguire is shit, cos he is, but can't overlook how that situation happenedYellow within 5 minutes
Absolutely. took one for the teamThat was on Casemeiro. I am all for saying Maguire is shit, cos he is, but can't overlook how that situation happened
Not playing like a pissed washing machine shouldn't be too much to ask thoughI’m all fairness to him, it’s very difficult for a sub to settle into a game played at that tempo
