Mings is much quicker on the turn than he is. I agree and I don’t think it’s happening. Just silly some people criticising parts of his game that are good for some unknown reason. But the high line game that Emery sometimes plays he doesn’t work and he easily gets turned by defenders. He does bring the ball out well and is dominant in both boxes. I don’t think we are interested in him because of what you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Luke Shaw is playing ahead of you out of position it's time to move on. Don't Leicester want him back with all the goals they concede from corners? Good point actually, he’s not getting game time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 19 minutes ago, useless said: There's no talk about this on Man Utd forum whatsoever, the only thing I can find is one of their fans speculating that we might be interested because Arsenal tried to sign him when Emery was their manager, but that was posted in the middle of last week, not as a reaction to these rumours. Couldn't that some kind of "Hush, if we don't talk about it might happen. Don't jinx this!"? I'm quite underwhelmed by this rumour. I mean, he's not bad but IMO he's not better than what we have. I definetely prefer Mings. And I love it when he plays for manure. He's gone worse egety season and I find it hilarious so I really hope he stays. Very much doubt this rumour, but are they really playing golf in January? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they've had a stupidly good offer for one of their many bad players they don't want... The only way I'm interested in this is if we're changing formation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would Maguire come here? It's funny, our fans are turning our nose up at him, but he'll have to think he's good enough to be playing for clubs in european competition. He's nearly 30, he's not joining here for "the project", he's probably got one more contract in him Close to 0% chance of this being a story based in fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Lange's fetish of 29 year old footballers is worrying. Can we stop signing 29 year old asbeens please Edited January 8, 2023 by messi11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a thing, my hope is it’s just a loan until the summer when we can better address the position with DC back and likely more options at play. I’d have no problem with that.

maqroll Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Defenders can play into their late 30s, so his age doesn't bother me. There's some quality there, anyone suggesting otherwise is wrong. He's got a clanger in him, but maybe outside the glaring lights and circus of Manchester United, he'd clean up those mental errors. The only thing concerning me is wages and even though he's a decent player, I'm hoping we sign someone a little younger and better than Maguire, with better sell-on value.

Daweii Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I don't love this signing, but I also don't hate it. If it happens he'll be our best CB by a mile, so it's not a negative outside of the ridicule we'll probably get for signing him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
