balo Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 4 hours ago, ChipButty said: Dempsey left United in 2009 after more than 15 years with the club in order to take up another youth development coaching role with Norwegian outfit Tromso before linking up with Solskjaer at Molde a year later. They are just good friends, Ole and Dempsey , so he want him on the team wherever he goes. In Norway , after his assistant job at Molde ended in 2014, he managed Haugesund and IK Start, also Djurgarden in Sweden. He never succeeded in any of the clubs and was sacked after IK Start was relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering our previous post-Fergie managers have had virtually a complete clear out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 2 hours ago, RickG16 said: Is that the Leicester that just beat Chelsea and City in their last 2 games, one of which Maguire was MOM in? I am not saying he is an essential signing, but it's not always wise to disregard someone at a smaller club because of said club's collective results. Maybe he is not on the radar now anyway... he could have been a Mourinho target which the current powers that be don't fancy. Maguire was MOM? Against City or Chelsea? Now i know its natural to watch my team's players far closer that the opponents, but Maguire didn't stand out to me AT ALL (apart from laughing at his girly-running style as always). Personally don't rate him that much. Know Rick rates him. A cheap reliable experienced stopgap until a really top class CB is bought: Gary Cahill or Jonny Evans.

Of course he's within his rights; shortterm interim contracts remember so if a ManU oldboy is chosen and willing to help out till the season's end, the cost is minimal and the board will and should back it.

carmine Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 22 hours ago, ChipButty said: Me too, ok he had a fairly good WC then people were saying buy him, but last season Leicester had one of the worst defensive records in the PL, leave him out He had a reasonable world cup whilst we were playing weak sides. Thats it. His technical ability is limited, turns like an oil tanker and simply isn't very good. Not a CL quality center back for me. And i repeat, you will not rebuild and settle a backline with Maguire. You buy players like VVD to do that or Toby, although in his case i think United should be looking for someone younger. Maguire just spanks of a desperation buy, jumping out of a frying pan straight into a fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Spurs's chance to mount a title challenge and as usual you bottled it. Never seen a more 'Spursy' performance in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 " Avram Glazier is due to fly to Saudi Arabia next week, to meet with Mohammed Bin Saud re: talks regarding the sale of Manchester United." If MBS thinks he can repair his reputation by becoming the owner of United and pouring money into the club, he'd best be aware of the fans reaction when the Glaziers bought the club.

Magnificent going forward and helped out massively in defence. Best player on the park x10. Good to hear Ole admit that we still need to work on the defence, after the match. Relief to see Young start ahead of Dalot and had a good game. Bailly started ahead of Jones and was a good choice but still looked a bit of a liability at times. Red card was really harsh and we will miss him for however many games he is suspended. Appeal? Rashford going from strength to strength. My biggest disappointment was Lingard who had a quiet game and looked below par, at times. Bring on Newcastle then "lost in the woods" Spurs at Wembley on the 13th.
