I feel the sameWe all know he isn't. He's scraping by, and it still terrifies me when I see his name on the team sheet.

its not that he's a bad player, hes actually a good defender. But when facing an attacking onslaught he goes deeper, and deeper and deeper. He cannot engage with a player head on and win the ball without potentially fouling them.
He's here going on to 2026.Imagine still starting Maguire at CB in 2025
Most of this board were happy to keep him. Mental when we know this is what he can turn in.Whoever decided to give him that extra year should be heading out the door.
7 years of MaguireHe's here going on to 2026.
I know it was a lazy decision.Whoever decided to give him that extra year should be heading out the door.
It’s depressing, he clearly has his own way of playing which is a complete mismatch to the rest of the squad.7 years of Maguire![]()
De Ligt was such a poor buy when we already had a similar but better player.The pairing of de Ligt and him is really the fecking worst. They are similar players - slow, cumbersome and simply not good enough. One is bad enough, starting the two of them together is a disaster.
He improved for the final 10-15 minutes, but up until then he had a really bad one.
Maguire is not the “better” player, and it has been quite evident for a couple of seasons. Barring a handful of games this season, Maguire has been bang average to poor like the majority of his United career.De Ligt was such a poor buy when we already had a similar but better player.
I sometimes wonder if time just goes more slowly in Maguire's mind. It's as though when he's looking at the ball he loses all sense of what's happening around him.
We don’t have the money for Diomande I’m afraid. Diao at Midtylland looks a good bet, string, fast and front foot.Maguire hasn’t developed and is still the slow cumbersome player who is prone to mistakes. He needs upgrading with someone imposing, but fast and agile. I would like Diomande

Nah he was poor today. Unfortunately others just as bad.I will be honest don't think he was that bad. Could of done better with both goals. But hardly disastrous.
Second goal In particular, de ligt gets caught ridiculously high up the pitch, Maguire goes from trying to cover the entire left side of our half, to charging backwards into a one one situation in the centre of the box and than trying to head a ball out from under our own bar from a standing position. Literally a one man band, all while Maz overcommitted, de ligt was nowhere, Onana made a decent save than refused to take command and Dalot, ugarte and Casemerio slowly jogged back watching the game rather than playing it.
Granted though is wasn't a particularly good performance either.
