Teams are built from the back though. Maguire and AWB will add a new dynamic to our attack

Yessssss
80 mil.. Hmm say he stays 6 years. Thats about 17mil per year for a good CB. We are united and sponsors pay us tonnes and we generate tonnes and we always charged differently. Get behind the lad.
At least we have that option - in the meantime, enjoy your transfer ban!
What’s the chances of him playing against Milan tomorrow? Little and none?
Well done Ed & Ole.. Great signing, can see him having a Bruce or Pallister type impact.
Don't care about the fee. Also shows that board will invest.
Much more confident about next season.

Selling some dead wood.
Considering he hasn’t signed yet I’m going to go with 0.
There, there, don't cry little baby.
We sure overpaid for him but I’m glad to see him in a United shirt. Defence needed sorting.
It was the open letter.. and the hashtag. Glazers had to pay..
Those 1200 retweets really forced their hand.
I understood that much but who are we able to offload? There are no takers.
Those we might sell will only fetch 10m total.
Leicester fan here.... congratulations on your signing but my god that is a lot of money. The other half of my family are United fans and I have just said to them that I don't think he is as good defensively as people realise. Don't get me wrong, he is fantastic on the ball but he has his flaws.
Evans was a bang average defender. Couldn't head a ball for one.
I know!Opposition fans are more often more rational than some of the twits on here
Klopper is top lad though.
My favorite thing are fans that are literally raining on the parade before the player has even set food at Old Trafford. Just what's the point in the rampant negativity?
What everyone shouild be over the moon about is: The board actually backing the manager. This is our biggest net spend (SO FAR!) in club history. The board has never backed a manager with as much money as they have this transfer window. We've had more players coming in, but the money exchanged has never been bigger.
And by all accounts we are not done yet.
So be positive?
He’s an upgrade over what we’ve already got, couldn’t care less about the fee.
Time to clean out some of the Leicester fans now. They've had their fun.
Finally a balanced look to the back 4. A LCB who is comfortable in that position.
This also means Lindelof gets to play on the right, where he is much better.
Well said, Klippity
Woohooo. Delighted its sorted. Couldnt care less about the fee considering we needed a top central defender and we have got one.
Being honest, I'd be more excited by Koulibaly or De Ligt, but Maguire just feels like a good fit. I don't care about the fee so long as he performs.
Dybala for Lukaku and a hard working central midfielder would certainly give us some cause for optimism next season.
Lindelof-Maguire is good on paper, but I will not be surprised if we see Smalling or Bailly (when he's fit) pushing to be his partner this season.

Could sign tonight, have the medical and then play tomorrow.
But like I said. “Little and None” Its unlikely
This will be done in time for corrie on +1...

My point was who gives a shit about the fee.
Surely we had 85m for him on the first day of the window, are they doing the cheap thing again and not paying the fee til the end of the window, thus saving wages during the summer ?
Was there really any need to delay this deal given the fact the player has been playing in same league against us for last few years so he didn't need scouting. we could have had this wrapped up weeks ago and be onto sorting the centre of midfield and striker options.
As encouraging as this deal is, of all the deals we do this summer nothing will come close to euphoria that will accompany the sale of Smalling and Jones.

ah feck it. Seems like a compromise from both sides. Would have loved it if Woody played hardball and they end up keeping an unsettled player, but oh well
Maybe one Chelsea fan as well...
look at the date.As good as the official announcement this.
What a goal
That is my point, we needed a CB and we got one that fits the manager's requirements. Fans might have different opinions but they don't manage the team. Ole wants Maguire, so we got him.
We do need to get rid of rojo, Darmian and one other.
Easier said than done. VVD just had the best season any defender has had since Rio's 07/08, and is quite likely going to maintain that level. As annoying as it is to admit it, there very likely isn't another defender on the planet who is capable of that much of a step up. Maybe De Ligt in a few years if he continues improving, but not right now.
As such we need to get rid of the VVD comparisons and be realistic otherwise it's only going to feed negativity about the club. Doesn't do us fans or the club any favours. Look at the positives - he should be a large improvement and will help the club start moving back the right way.
Great news. It has made my day.
Think he’s the best defender we could have bought. Don’t get what everyone sees in Koulibaly and he would have cost us more.
Maguire is one of the best ball playing defenders in the league and is arguably the best header of the ball in the whole of the Premiership, defender or attacker. He’s a leader, he’s a good age, he’s home grown and he has scope to improve. Quality

Great signing. Dont give a shit about the fees. AWB Maguire Lindeloff and Shaw is a solid backline. Add a CDM next season and it'll be a potentially title winning unit.
Do think we need some pace beside him if we're going to play a pressing game and squeeze a high line. Tuanzabe or Smalling ahead of Lindelof for me.
Has all the other attributes.

Everyone is fixated on the fact that Maguire is an improvement over all our CBs. While that is probably true, people are forgetting that he has no European experience. Like, none at all. Even VVD played in the CL for Celtic way back, and that probably helped him in his Southampton days. So the jury is still out for him. Thats why a record fee wasn't the greatest deal, like at all.
