Up too we’re probably too heavy now so I’d let Lingard go and see Martial. Cavani will be off too so that slims things down.

However getting the quality we need will take a season or three.

Let’s see what a proper manager and coach can do with them.

A new right back sure but the rest have shown they have something about them, just not in the last few months.

Martial, Pogba and Lingard should have been sold last year and the funds used to sign a midfielder or two.

Watching Wan Bissaka constantly getting the ball stuck under his feet under the tiniest bit of pressure was embarrassing, how this guy is paid to play football for a living is mind boggling, he's the worst of the lot of them.

Its like when you watch an athlete from another sport playing in Soccer aid, you can tell he's physically fit and capable but there's something about their gait or how they control a pass or even pass the ball that you can tell they're not pros and never could've been, that's what this dozy @#%&! looks like.

And how come no one that's ever coached him since he's came to United drilled it into him to keep an eye on what's over his shoulder?? the amount of times he's caught like that makes me think he's f***ing slow mentally

He'd be lucky to crack the top 10 right backs in the league. And that's probably being generous. Maybe top 15.

You watch players like James and Alexander-Arnold, two youth products and the guy we paid £50m for is light years behind them

Plus I swear he's been taking crossing lessons from Bebe.

Ethan laird is supposedly doing well at Swansea

Surely he’d offer more to the team.

How he was ever classed as a winger is beyond me. He can’t control a ball for love nor money and I honestly can’t remember him ever putting a cross in

130m for Maguire and AWB combined

Or, to put it another way.

£230m for Maguire, Wan Bissaka, Fred and Martial.

Abramovich bought Chelsea FC for £90m less.

One of those players has scored 79 goals for us. Hard to include him in this discussion.

god damn. how are these approved

Absolutely everybody thought AWB was a good signing at the time.

Not many thought Maguire was tbf. Same with Fred.

AWB has managed to get worse. And he wasn't starting from a high bar. Awful last night. The rest of the defence will be fine. We desperately need a right back that can get foward and deliver a ball. AWB has nothing.

Imagine Sancho and a real overlapping full back.

I definitely did. I though he was raw but had huge potential. Turns out raw was all he had.

Not quite everyone

I thought AWB & Maguire were wrong at the time, didn't think they were good enough. Now they're worse players.
Had no clue about Fred but made my mind up when I found out he was a midget
