Harry Maguire - New Club Captain

Should be playing for Fleetwood town...

Only United could pay a world record fee...

Some of us said this at the time...(Rip Dunk, I got you brother)

Reluctant to judge any players until they've played under a real manager.

Apart from AWB obv., who is horrendous. Would have Rinus Michels topping himself, were he not already dead.

Was gonna say last night somewhere dunk is wearing his biggest “told ya so” face and absolutely smugging it up all over the place.

It’s so £#%&!ing depressing. Even our solutions have now become problems.

Maguire would be a good signing at 30 mill or so but 85 million
Based off the transfer fee paid for him he's not quite a flop (although dangerously close to) but he's miles from being considered even a moderate success

Wan-Bissaka is a one trick pony. He's great at one v one defending but there's more to a full back than that
He's poor at all other aspects of full back play
Again not quite a flop but for 50 mill you expect the complete package and he simply isn't good enough

I don't need to even go into Daniel James

So basically the only successful Ole signing has been Fernandes

Bit harsh.

Pellestri is looking like a great piece of business.

Cavani a stroke of genius.

Telles is top class.

The big man coming in January...

Hendo about to claim the top spot...

Beek in, Pogba out.

The six in this summer are doing well....

Maguire was s huge mistake though...

Maguire was basically a Mourinho signing wasn’t it? He’d banged on about him so much that Woodward’s head was already turned in the direction of Maguire’s massive head

Ole was powerless to stop it

A solar system of orbiting shite....

I don't mind him. Was a fair shout for captain until Bruno walked through the door, but even he knows he's not the real leader of that team now.

And he's not an £80 million player either, that's not his fault though. That's something he's just going to have to live with.

Unfortunately the only way I can see Bruno getting the armband would be if Maguire gets injured for a period of time, and with that bonce and price tag resting on his shoulders it can only be a matter of time before his back goes.

Far too early to call any of those a success

Telles had a great debut but has been a bit meh since then

Pellestri looks exciting but he hasn't done anything yet

By early into the 2019/20 season we all thought the 3 signings by Ole were going to be a success and now look at them

Won’t get a mention because of - his voice/head/80m/fleetwood etc

But was excellent and easily the best player on the pitch

Saved us on more than one occasion

Can’t keep Captain Mags down.

Played well. Credit where it's due and let's hope it can continue. Still shouldn't be captain through imho

The complaints about him are always OTT because of his price tag and the size of his head.

He's a very good defender and showed it again today. His detractors would do well to contemplate how £#%&!ing shite we'd be at the back if he wasn't available to play.

Yeah, he does have a bit of a scapegoat vibe to him.

Before Tuesdays game he’d been in very good form tbf

Patty’s spot on.

Haven't been convinced by a number of facets of his game this season. His positional sense/organisational skills in particular have been poor to average in a number of matches. I do hope we see more of what we saw from him today, though.

Played well today. Needs a new partner.

Started poorly nqat ( they all did tbf, even Bruno) but has definitely upped his game over the last month or so. He’s quality and was a key component of us having the 2nd (maybe 1st?) best defence in Europe’s top 4 divisions last season.

Agree on Bruno being captain though.

Him and Lindelof work well together.

Was probs motm.

Bruno for captain though.
