    Maguire was extremely good for Leicester and England during that time. He has had a poor season by his standards but doesn't make him a bad player.

    Was it really a poor season from him though. United went from conceding the 10th least goals (54) to the 3rd least (36). He was caught out a few times in the season but it was mainly due to his lack of pace. Good CB partnerships compliment each other and in Lindeloff he doesn't have partner who does that, Lindeloff in the English game is poor positionally which forces his partner to have to cover and when that CB doesn't have bags of pace it can expose him. And Lindeloff often having poor starting positions also means he struggles to provide cover. A partner who complements him (Which might be why it looked like Axel Tuanzebe was seemingly being blooded until his injury issues)

    Should also be noted that Maguire is playing on his less preferred side because Lindeloff also prefers being the right sided CB. It may seem minor but in top class sport the minor difference between it can make a big difference.

    :joy::joy: Not only are Man Utd sh&te now but this kit is bloody dreadful. EhGA4KtXgAIvAiF.jpg

    He looks a dick

    Funny to hear Neville say: “You can talk about Sancho, but [Manchester] United will never win the league with that defensive partnership. Never.” - He's right!

    If he's worth 80m, I reckon I'm worth at least 10m. And I'm 40 year old and only ever played at County Amatuer level.

    Did the captain come out after the match to face the media? If he did, I didn't see the interview.

    Luke Shaw came out and in vein, tried to apologise and accepted United were embarrassing.

    The lack of leadership at United is terrible both on and off the pitch. The captain on the pitch does not lead. He should have come out first to face the media, not Shaw.

    Man Utd are a shambles. Not a football club anymore.

    Shaw should have been sat in the dressing room after an early bath. That cynical scythe down from behind easily deserved a red card by today's standards. It was worthy of Chopper Harris or Peter Storey in their heyday.

    Certainly can't disagree on the red card. But it certainly doesn't take from the lack of leadership, within that club.

    Listen to this interview with Solskjaer.

    You only need to listen to his first sentence, in reply to the interviewer. It's about Solskjaer as the individual, not man United.

    Apart from the MotM who usually goes to get his award, the players who are sent out to speak are done on a rota basis. So it would have just been the case that it was Shaws turn. I may be wrong but I think Maguire did them post-match against Palace

    What made it worse was Maitland-Niles having a very good game at left wing back and popping into the Danish box un-announced gets sacrificed so that kyle Walker can move to left back?

    Bit McCall-esque from our Gareth that.
