he doesn't get injured every 2 weeks so that is already massive upgrade on most of other CB options, rather keep him than lose him.
He will improve alongside MaguireI'm not sure he's that good - I think he only looked good in comparison to the dross around him. But we have much more pressing areas of the squad to address and far worse players than him, so it makes sense to keep him around.
It's just a joke mate.I don’t really have time to go trawling through my post history but if you want to go ahead. I just distinctly remember being called a Liverpool fan for saying how good Klopp is and the potential that squad has. I’d rather wait and see if this latest prediction comes off, I think Lindelof and Maguire will form our best partnership since Rio and Vida by a mile .
This.Predictable. This is what we all feared when Ole took over. He's only interested in looking after his countrymen.
Wise wisdom from Trust In Januzaj.Strange first replies in here! This is great news, despite what many think I believe the club are heading in a really exciting direction. Lindelof has proven his quality over the last season despite what his critics say and it’s great news that he’s signed up long term. I truly believe we will look back at the Maguire and Lindelof partnership as one of our best ever.
There is a bit different between "one of our best ever" and "best partnership since Rio and Vida" don't you think so?I don’t really have time to go trawling through my post history but if you want to go ahead.

Yes, it's basically 3 years and I recon he's got a payrise. Payrise for what exactly?Disagree, it's about time we started signing players up to new contracts 2 years before they're about to expire
Though I guess with the one year option this one is 3 years... but still, i'm all for the club sorting contracts out earlier going forward.
I guess you only watch Highlights of Manutd games?Don't rate him at all... what has he done to deserve a new contract? He can't even head a ball!
Maybe he learnt how you head a ball on Monday and this was his reward?Yes, it's basically 3 years and I recon he's got a payrise. Payrise for what exactly?

Whooooooooosh.This.
Pretty reliable sources in Spain confirmed the Barca interest was real, seems once they knew De Ligt was not coming they zeroed in on Lindelof but we gave them a pretty firm no.Convenient during renewal talks eh?
It's probably the right time to do it otherwise we end up over a barrel like De Gea. Hopefully it's not ridiculous money so that we can shift him later on because we'll want better than him to be competitive again.
Which team would you recommend?Please, for the love of God, go support someone else.
Yes his agent, talking to 'Mundo Deportivo'.Pretty reliable sources in Spain confirmed the Barca interest was real, seems once they knew De Ligt was not coming they zeroed in on Lindelof but we gave them a pretty firm no.
So far as the contract, he was supposedly on 75k a week and we were offering to double that to 150k. Those were the numbers floating around a couple of weeks ago so presumably it is in that range which is again pretty much par for an established first team player at this club.
I really don't think he has made any mistakes. Not in the way the caf thinks anyway. He lost two headers. Are those mistakes, or him just not being that great in the air? One of those was to a 6'5" behemoth btw.By the way, central defenders are a partnership. They will take time to gel properly and there's bound to be teething problems. So far this season these have been most evident with mistakes from Lindelof but we've every reason to hope the partnership will to go from strength to strength. Considering their ages, this improvement could continue over the length of this new contract.

I thought he fecked up quite badly against Crystal Palace. He lost a header to a fairly short player and if he wasn’t certain of winning the header he shouldn’t have competed for it. The moment he got beaten he was completely out of the game.I really don't think he has made any mistakes. Not in the way the caf thinks anyway. He lost two headers.

He didn't win the header but it happens, you can't win every single one of them. The problem was that there was literally no cover from the teammates.I thought he fecked up quite badly against Crystal Palace.

Agree the “mistake” vs Soton wasn’t too bad.
It doesn't seem right but it's the way the game is going. Agents will drag these contract discussions out for months and we end up in De Gea and Herrera situations.So in every 2 years he will renew his contract here, if that's the new policy.
Great.
I was not aware Sid Lowe worked for Mundo Deportivo.Yes his agent, talking to 'Mundo Deportivo'.
Huh?In my time watching United I've been lucky enough to see 3 top quality partnerships.
Bruce & Pallister
Vidic & Ferdinand
Jaap & Stam
We'll be lucky if Maguire & Lindelof come even close.
Yesterday I read harsh criticism that the club waited until the last minute to extend players, now Im reading harsh criticism that the club extended a player way before his contract runs out.Why are people criticizing this? If Barca want him in a few years he will be premium IF he doesnt stay here and become a top player which is doable.
Alright he was good but he wasn’t “two people” goodIn my time watching United I've been lucky enough to see 3 top quality partnerships.

Agree. Even if we don’t decide to keep him the contract gives us negotiating power. Smart move assuming reasonable wages.Should have done this policy earlier. I am neutral on Lindelöf, but it is better to tie players down earlier than let them run down their contracts. If we want to keep him long term, good decision
He doesn't neither did he say Barcelona were interested. You're getting confused with him commenting on the article.I was not aware Sid Lowe worked for Mundo Deportivo.
Yep apparently she should let players we bought for £40M run their contracts down all the timeYesterday I read harsh criticism that the club waited until the last minute to extend players, now Im reading harsh criticism that the club extended a player way before his contract runs out.
Manchester United, where everything you ever do is wrong to someone.
Think I am going to take the 'L' on this one then, I remembered it as being a little more substantial but it does look more like smoke and mirrors from the agent after all. Still happy he is staying though.He doesn't neither did he say Barcelona were interested. You're getting confused with him commenting on the article.

He doesn't even know how to use apostrophes, why would he know any better than those running the team?Im not angry or little, and too beefy for sausage. Also why do you know better than the manager/coaches?
