    Never got the Sancho hype ... nor Hudson-Odoi at Chelsea tbf, who looked very similar... wouldn't swap Harvey Barnes for either of them ... the one kid who went abroad and I was really impressed with was Bellingham ...

    Do think United will be a force to reckon with soon ... but perhaps not next season ... on Maguire, joking aside, him and Jonny Evans were a pretty good partnership and were solid ... but we also had decent full backs ... that said, Wesley Fofana is different gravy and the hype is well justified ... just hope we can hold on to him ... terrific talent <cheers>

    If you lot get Nunez - which is looking increasingly likely - and he adapts quickly, top 2 will be a forgone conclusion again I’d imagine. You may be losing Mane but you’ll still have Salah, Jota, Diaz, Firmino and then Nunez, that’s an unreal set of forwards to pick from.

    Jesus.

    Just to clarify.

    Maguire is an abortion of a defender, not fit to wear the shirt. He never has been or never will be a leader. Weak mentally. Slow. Captain of Apology FC on Twitter. I’ve been to hundreds of games over the years at OT and he’s not got what it takes to carry this club, get rid now.

    Fred is our best CM atm, did well to look even half decent under Ralf considering Ralf is the worst at man-management this league has ever seen. Passing is piss poor. Get rid next year.

    Sancho had a poor start probably down to pace of the league and Ole being an absolute tampon. Before his injury/illness though he finished his season strongly and showed a lot of his qualities, exposing Pathetic Rashford in the process. Keep as long as possible.

    Dier Hard gets a B from me for his player report, would have an A had he not got carried away with his ending.

    Considering the opposition to that are Spurs and Arsenal, then that's the aim, obviously.

    We've a new manager, ****ed off a load of spoofers, will sign new players, and are having a genuine reset.

    Top two looks unattainable, anything is else is a realistic target. Otherwise why ****ing bother?

    I agree. Sancho well overhyped and think we'll be talking about CHO's potential when he's in his 30s. <laugh>

    If we're talking about becoming a force again, first priority is to become unbeatable at home. For 3 seasons it's been our biggest problem... and that's mainly down to our **** defence and a poor defensive midfield which has exposed our defence time and again. If we can make OT a fortress again and consider it 3 points a game against the majority of oppo then I'd be happy with that to begin with.

    The back 4 get a lot of grief but it's the soft underbelly of our midfield that's equally cuplible. I agree with you re Maguire and he's also managed to play at a decent level for England. As much as I berate him on a weekly basis, he's shown he's better playing alongside Varane. I'm not writing him off just yet. Give him a chance next to a better CB than Lindelof with a decent defensive CM unit in front and under a decent manager then let's see how he does <ok>

    I think maguire is beyond repair at utd tbh mate.

    Cold hard Fact is... he's a bang average cb at best , certainly not the leader you need marshaling the back line and looking half decent in an England shirt with 4 other defenders next to you aint nothing to speak about.

    Most rivals tune into utd games to see the weekly maguire comedy show. It's been prime time viewing for about 2 years now. Tells you all you should need to know about him<laugh>

    Cut ya losses and get rid, rebuild.

    Again:bandit:

    I really hope it is.

    Can’t stand the bloke even if he is a semi decent player.

    Doesn’t he play in Son’s position? I’ll laugh my pathetic little cock off if Spurs sign him.

    He's not a leader, no way. It's obvious we've needed one in defence for years. Another reason to buy a quality CB. Don't think that factors into Maguire being decent enough to be rotated in a back cb pairing though.

    Btw... most rivals tuning into United games weekly.... jaaaarighty <laugh>
