Not a lot he could have done about that, to be fair, but let the haters keep on hating. (y)

To be fair he is a decent mid table CB at best - how a club paid £80mil plus for him is criminal , the most expensive defender ever ???

United were mugged, Phil. As I have said, Leicester didn’t need to sell, they knew United were desperate for a centre half, so they basically said “If you want him, that’s our price”, and steadfastly stuck to it.

We should have looked elsewhere.

At the time though how many viable alternatives were there and given the mess United were in post Fergie how many players really fancied coming to Old Trafford?

I can’t recall who was available at that time, but Maguire is, and was when he was bought, pretty average. For whatever reason United decided he was their man, and they were willing to pay the ludicrous transfer fee.
