If somehow de Ligt and Yoro are fit for Wednesday then I would start him upfront, at least he is capable of getting on the end of something.
 
Tottenham 1:0 Man Utd New
Spearheaded the shitness this match. Poor distribution, looked timid and lost his head way too early. What he did on the pitch did not help inspire confidence in others to get back in it. Pathetic to lose yourself to Romero like that.
 
Its no coincidence that he hasn't been on the pitch when we won our last 2 trophies.

Just not United quality.
 
Think the 3 reactive comments to tonight are way too harsh on him. I actually thought him and Yoro were by far our best players. He was an absolute rock defensively.
 
De Ligt has been better in the middle this season. Maguire shouldn’t be a starter

Except when that ball came in for their goal. I thought he should've dealt with it. It's the story of Maguire's United career. Perform well for 89 minutes, make a minor mistake and get punished.
 
Was one of our better players but lost his nerve toward the end of the game. Silly fouls he was giving away.
 
So fecking slow at everything.

No idea why he lets that ball go across him for the goal, a proper defender deals with that.
 
Been comfortably our best centre back this season but when we have zero threat at the other end the defence are always going to come under scrutiny for every goal conceded.

Was solid tonight.
 
Him (and Yoro) are the only two players i feel can hold their heads high.

Yes he got wound up by Romero - but he was our best player tonight.
 
By his standards of the past few years, he's had a good season personally (but still below par for what we want).

Now we have to do the right thing and sell. Make it known to him he isn't wanted anymore and is free to talk to other clubs. Even a £5m fee would be great.
 
He was fine. He's restored his reputation this season.

He's 32 though so if Moyes or someone wants to take him off our hands I'd be pleased.

agreed.

Time to go Harry
 
I didn’t think it was possible but I reckon he’s getting slower, he takes a fecking age to get moving.
 
Now the season is over, we can all be perfectly honest and tell the truth.

As a defender, he actually isn’t very good.

Everything we praise him for isn’t something we need from him regularly. Some very questionable positioning and decision making over the last few weeks. That pass he tried to Shaw today was absolutely criminal.

Also really irked me how easily Romero got in his head. He’s an ex-captain who has played in plenty of major finals now. Get your head screwed on and play the game ffs.
 
He lost his head at the end but can't fault him. He is what he is. Won't criticize him
 
Made a typical Maguire error with his shit pass to Shaw on the 10 minute mark that almost cost us a goal.

Pretty good after that, Spurs offered nothing in attack all game and just parked the bus.

He's an absolute idiot getting involved with Romero allowing Spurs to waste more time, they were literally laughing at our stupidity helping them disrupt the game and slow it down.
 
He’s had a good season overall but if anyone comes sniffing we should sell while his stock is up. He’s getting older and not sure we want him for the rebuild.

Came in here to say the same thing. Let himself down tonight because of that... and the team.
 
I think people are being harsh. He’s had a good season - he’s been solid generally and if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have got to the final.

We didn’t lose today because of the defence, we lost because our attack is toothless.

I hope he stays next season. He’s reliable and an option for Plan C.

We extended his contract by a year, I very much doubt that was to sell him. If we wanted him gone we'd have just let the contract expire.

I'm surprised we didn't take the opportunity to get his big wages off the books and start rebuilding the defence around players who can actually run. I can only assume we're too skint to replace him and we expect to struggle with the foreign/homegrown quota rules so we're desperate to keep some homegrown players.
 
I thought he was generally solid and did ok tonight. Hardly a reason we lost the game, and has been one of our better players this season.
 
Watching him trying to track back Solanke was utterly excruciating, they should have been 2-0 up if the pass was better. He's good as a squad player, but everything was off tonight. Got rattled by Romero too, head was on mars.
 
I will criticize him only for his stupidness to allow Romero to get away with that. At least destroy that ratty cnut with a boot in the face and be done with it. Him and Yoro actually had too much on their hands.

Yeah he was fine last night, people need to look elsewhere for the issues. Not saying he's good enough for a challenging side long-term mind
 
Can't believe people are willing to give him a free pass after last night, stupid mistake to let Johnson in, stupid not to attack the ball for the goal, slow on the ball, allowed Romero to bully him and his falling over in their box was pathetic.

A player that sums up the mediocrity at the club, how we are still looking at him and Shaw in a back line is beyond me.

Yeah he’s just not good enough. Good in the air, fairly good last ditch defending and can ping a good long pass. But diabolical at so many other things you need from a modern defender. Can’t pass through the lines, takes ages to see a pass, poor on his weaker foot, constantly caught out of position, slow on the turn, actually just slow in general and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a top flight defender so incapable of directing headers to a team mate. Even under zero pressure he either brexit’s his headers miles up in the air or straight to an opposition player. It’s infuriating to watch.

He's decent passing through the lines but no argument about the rest. Not good enough but far from a serious culprit last night

Him and Shaw pissed me off so much, the lack of zip in their passing and urgency in their movement of the ball was criminal. Shaw was probably worse than Maguire.

He really isn't. A player who's good at passing through the lines should see the pass and execute it with minimal fuss. He takes about 6 touches, by that time the space is closed so he's just left with his trademark clipped pass out to the left wing.
