look, I've witnessed the difficult post-Ferguson years at United first-hand, so I do understand a Liverpool fan poking some fun on the eve of their first post-Klopp season, which hopefully marks the beginning of some dark years for you Scousers.
But that memefication of Maguire is getting so old. Yeah, the dude has had some really difficult times the past few years, but he's actually dug himself out of that hole and has been a solid, solid CB in all of 2024 at least. I'll give him credit for that, he's shown character and grit. Was one of the best players yesterday as well. Shouldn't be a nailed-on starter at United, but he's a decent option to have once the schedule gets congested with Europa League and cup matches.
Last summer, I was disappointed when Maguire and McTominay stayed ... now I hope they won't leave. I'd rather offload other players at this point.
