Pathetic fans booing Maguire

He's 30, which is often not too old for a center-back, and even then old players often see out their contracts and move to other clubs on a lesser contract on a free. If what you're saying is true, it makes even more sense for him to not move on unless he's paid the difference of his new pay-cut contract. This is his last payday by that logic.
So whichever way we look at it, he IS a leech.
 
Yes, because usually a player moves to his next club at a higher wage and his projected earnings for the next few years increase, unless they're at the twilight of their careers, so they have no reason to ask for the rest of their contract value. In the case of United and the stupid wages we offer players, that's rarely the case. No club wants to pay our players the money we put on contract for them, which means a lot of our transfers in recent years either a) gives a discount to the buying club so that they raise the player's wages or b) give the player a pay out as persuasion to move.

We can't do (a) - because to reflect an FFP profit on him for the year, Maguire has to be sold for 30 mil plus. Honestly (b) is tough for us too. So we quietly suffer giving players stupid overinflated contracts, like we should, a bad business.
A is wrong. £3m is the breakeven point for Maguire if we weren't purchasing a replacement. (-£26m book value writedown offset by £10m wage savings + £13m amortization savings)

If we were to sign a replacement for £30m at £100k/week for 5 years, the FFP breakeven point on this year's books would go up to £14m (£3m + £6m replacement transfer fee amortization + £5m replacement wages).
 
It won’t be our concern because he’ll be pulling on a shirt for another club.
Last shirt I saw him in had 'smoking kills' in French on it, it's a designer label though not a public service announcement. Not looking forward to seeing the fallout there, very uncomfortable.
 
If he gets booed its on him. Maguire knows what reaction he's going to get if he stayed. But he's sticking around for a pay check. UTD fans have been patient with him and yet season after season he makes mistakes like he's an U21 player. Clearly he get handled the pressure. He knows he won't get much game time and will hide in the bench for money
We need to raise the level of the players we have. And it starts first with mentality. Players who have 0 ambition, are not playing to win trophies and are happy to sit on the bench to collect checks should not be here.
UTD should not have tolerated this. And do what the likes of Madrid do, force these players out.
There should be a high standard of excellence especially for senior and experienced players. I can tolerate young players making mistakes as it takes a couple of seasons to get better. But experienced players constantly making mistakes should not be tolerated. He could have left he choose stay, whatever comes his way he can't complain
