Not good if he decides to team up with Beanz.
I'd never heard anything about him being a United fan so those tweets and pics were cool to see.
Oh woah
This guy is mint. He absolutely wants to be here which is great to see. I’m getting a United shirt tomorrow with his name and number on the back
Well, at least nobody can say we didn't show him the money. Good signing though.
I'm not saying that Lingard is a 26 year old man child who cares more about bantz and his social media than he does football, but that's exactly what I'm saying.

Could have saved ourselves a lot of money by buying him from Hull like many shrewd people wanted but I'm glad he's here now. Good player, powerful, can play football and is at a good age now.
AON are wasting their money.

Out of nowhere this signing.
Good Luck H Mac.

Welcome Harry Quagmire.
Giggity.
Giggity.
Oh no. Could they not have kept Lingard in a cupboard or something, until Harry had met some of the grown-ups at the club?

Seen this a lot with reference to Jesse. ‘Beanz’ is Rashford’s nickname.

I like to pretend the nickname doesn’t exist nevermind correcting people about who it refers to
Awesome deal. Back 4 now complete.
Reading the Maguire article in the athletic. A few interesting points:
Fergie was interested in him after the 2011 FA youth cup game and rang him to wish him well after he suffered concussion in that game.
Phelan recommended both Maguire and Robertson to United after he left Hull.
Phelan was a big advocate in the transfer after being impressed with his leadership qualities and desire to learn. He would ask Phelan about how Rio and Vida approached certain situations etc.
City tried to use Otamendi (wages too high) and Mangala (they weren’t falling for that) as makeweights before walking away after their offer worth £70m was rejected.

More people like Maguire over moneybags dybala please!
These types will take us back to the top with heart and passion, not sulking counting their money.

That's pretty good. Pretty, pretty good.
Big dude, big head. Tall people are just...better.
How can any player 'look like a captain'...? Can you elaborate?
"Never saw one of the old clubs wishing the player on the transfer"
I heard they got £9m or something for a buy on clause. So they will be happy.

Getting more and more excited about this coming season now so we can see how the new signings do in competitive football for us. The back four should be solid now. Actually hoping we’re a threat from corners now as well!
Oh and obviously I look forward to seeing if people spelling his name wrong online transfers over into getting his name on a shirt...

Wow, with Wan-Bissaka and Maguire in the team how could we possibly concede any goals this season?
Always knew he’d be a United player since watching him against Pogba, Ravel and J Lingz in youth cup final in 2011!
I understand you, but we just have to forget about the money and let the club worry about that. He is an upgrade on all our CBs.
Board didn't back Jose, didn't want to give him more money to spend. Leicester wanted 65m .
Welcome McGeanz.

Harry Maguigan - welcome!
Okay. It does exist though, and is the nickname of Marcus Rashford. But you are right in your implying that it matters little either way, as it doesn’t so let me go back in my box.
"In May, Ed Woodward asked Leicester City how much they wanted for Harry Maguire and was told £80m. On Monday, the master of negotiation completed the deal, paying £80m finally to secure the centre-back six days before Manchester United’s first game of the season."

9 of the top 15 most expensive defenders of all time were bought by Man Utd or Man City - that’s pretty mental!

Haha that made me chuckle."In May, Ed Woodward asked Leicester City how much they wanted for Harry Maguire and was told £80m. On Monday, the master of negotiation completed the deal, paying £80m finally to secure the centre-back six days before Manchester United’s first game of the season."

Players cost is always going up. So 80m today is different than 80m last year. It's not that hard to understand."In May, Ed Woodward asked Leicester City how much they wanted for Harry Maguire and was told £80m.

But yeh, it doesn't fit the narrative.
Does it go up by more than the defensive collapse that meant we missed Champions League football cost us?
He's not talking about the fee rising over a year, he's talking about us procrastinating over the same fee for 3 months, wasting time that could've been spent helping Maguire adapt.
Buying naming rights to an existing structure is stupid in my opinion. If it’s an entirely new structure like the emirates then fair enough, but a long established name like Carrington or Old Trafford, no one is likely to call it anything different.

He looks like a United center back doesn’t he? It’s hard to put my finger on what it is, but in the United kit he looks like he belongs here. Haven’t felt that way about a CB since Rio and Vida.
