Seems like United are doing all they can to protect Maguire. Can't remember the last time I saw him interviewed which, given as he's the captain, is extremely strange. I mean, they could take him out of the limelight and improve their starting xi in one fell swoop, so wondering why they aren't doing that. He's every bit as bad as Keane, just they, inexplicitly, paid 80m for him.

@anxiouswarrior whats happened to Maguire and Rashford to make them fall off a cliff?

Thing is as well, I'd love us to take a punt on Rashford if he was available, but obviously that can never happen because a. we're probably going to get relegated, and b. he is on about 200k a week.

He wont be getting that kind of money elsewhere and his contract is up in 2023.

Ive never really rated Rashford compared with the media building him up. But if he was on a cheap deal and we did move Richarlison on for a big fee then perhaps Lampard could improve him?
 
If Ten Hag only does one thing at United it would be to do everyone a favour and tell Neville and Rio to stfu with their constant commentary on United. It’s just cringey.

No.

Lemme tell you why - we've done this experiment before, with the hope of "X will improve him". They never do. Countless times we've said that, we're currently in the situation with Dele. Either get someone in who fits RIGHT NOW as he is, or don't get anyone.

Think he'll do alright but the problem with United isn't the manager - unless SAF comes back, everyone else will fail massively unless they give him the reigns and remove a bunch of deadwood.

Have they got the money?
Who'll buy the deadwood?
I recall Kean saying man u should sign Grealish and Kane last year.
Have they still.got that allure to turn players heads?
Footballers today seem to be all about money.

They have a lot of money, as evident by the ridiculous wages and bonuses, plus Utd right now is just a hyperbrand, not a football club, and you'll get revenue regardless.

They have allure because they're Man United, and everyone will want to be the next SAF/CR7/etc. but not a lot of them will. Currently they've bought horrendously because it's basically just for the media clout - why is Pogba there? Why finish/run 2nd/3rd all season, obviously needing a small push of freshness... only to sack the whole plan because CR7 is available and he'll bring in the sweet, sweet clicks.

Deadwood though - I hope we don't fall into that trap (and obviously hope they stay in their own trap and give extra mega wages to Pogba and the rest) and buy not good enough players for too much money and sad time wages (hey, remember Tom Cleverley?). They'll find teams to loan/sell to if they sell below value, which will hopefully mean that player prices normalise a bit, but that's hopeful at best.

They have some good players in there though, and some who are good at what they do in the Prem, but they're built chaotic as hell, much like we are - just buying the same type of player for no reason then when it doesn't work it's the 'shocked pickachu' meme and changing the manager again.

They buy players so they can sell their replica shirts in America and Asia. They’re just a jarg Real Madrid.

They have been shocking this season , Maguire did ok in Euros but i think fatigue played a part and then was exposed badly decision making and lack of pace went to pot , Rashford been doing too much politics although i say fair play for that , but his head not in right place on the pitch , was he affected by the return of Ronaldo , but players like wan-bissaka , linderlof , Fernandes, pogba, etc all been appalling
 
Hopefully Ten-hag will buy good players not show boat ponies on 400 grand a week , we need to realise if keep making the same mistakes this farce will continue, we have no divine right to win anything

You lot got giddy about every single one of those players when they signed. At the start of the season you thought you had a chance at the title and top 4 was a given. Fast forward 6 months and all your players are rubbish and need to go.
