Manchester United have, reportedly, made a bid for Harry Maguire. The bid is in the region of ÂŁ65 million which is the value they have placed on him having had a reasonably successful World Cup.
According to experts, whoever they may be, he was actually worth ÂŁ25 million before his escapades in Russia and is now worth ÂŁ50 million so maybe Ed Woodward knows something we don’t or maybe he is just throwing an extra ÂŁ15 million in to make sure the deal happens. (more…)
On the evidence of the first three games the answer is very simple; No.
United have played Bournemouth away, Southampton at home and Hull City away and have conceded only one goal. More to the point, David De Gea has had very little to do.
This is in stark contrast to the last two seasons where the defensive statistics have been very good but only because De Gea was very good. Good enough, in fact, to win the player of the season award on both occasions. Without him the defensive statistics would have been quite poor. (more…)
