Genuine question as I don’t follow football as much anymore. How is this guy in the top league and national team if he’s so bad as what the memes show?

    Because he has a great contract and refuses to leave the club for less. Southgate is his biggest fan, and other national players dislike it.

    His greatest weaknesses are his speed and agility. If you do things to expose those weaknesses, he will look really bad.

    That is classic United. Get ripped off by other clubs, tricked into buying average player for mind blowing price. Expecting them to play like Messi Ronaldo, which they will understandably fail. Blame them for things like they are not even remotely associated… Whole pogba fiasco shows united is run by classic morons … they should write book about whole pogba saga.

      Tricked?

      No one holds a gun to Uniteds head to buy these players. It’s their own arrogance that causes them to buy at any cost, usually because they stalled in buying them 6 months previously for a fraction of the cost.

    The question is how did he not give a penalty away for his wrestling technique on Haaland, it was worse than the actual penalty one

    Maguire is excellent on the ball but can be exposed during one-on-one situations.

    If you set up defensively, e.g., England, he looks like a world beater. However, if you set up offensively-minded…
