9 games in and the top 3 is already a formality. 4th spot well that's likely to be West Ham with Spudsy and Manure so inconsistent at the moment. We will be probably fighting to reach 6th this season after the shitty start.

Lowest rated on the pitch is Maguire at 1.95

 

Only marginally higher rated than Pogba (1.91)

 

 

Then he's not the lowest rated then, is he?

The gaps are still too wide open to really tell atm, you'd still rate United favourites for that spot but it depends on a new manager and even then Ole has had plenty of spells like this and still finished in the top 4 admittedly not as embarrassing as this

Rodgers a contender for the job if and when Ole is taken out? 

Can't see Man Utd fans accepting an ex Liverpool manager. Especially if it all went wrong .   They'd turn quickly!!

Don't think it's so clear cut for West Ham. You wonder how they'll still cope as they progress in Europa League. It does seem to depend on who can stay fit in their side - Antonio the key player who has a bad record of injuries.

 

They've got Liverpool, Man City & Chelsea coming up soon as well. 

 

The shitty start has happened but if we go on a good run of form now that things are starting to click, it puts us right up there in contention. As much as they've had a good start, their shitty time might still come.

We’re only three points off the top four after that ‘shitty start’.

I know it's all sort of subjective shite, but his whole body language in the biggest game in English football when he's captain of arguably the biggest club in the world was shocking tbh.

Out of his depth. There's better Man u players who would make a better captain. Who the hell would listen to a captain who backs off from challenges and won't put himself on the line for the rest of the team and makes so many basic mistakes to the point that he then has no power to criticise other players because he's so poor himself?

[Mark_w]

'I'm here because I have to be here' the man's leadership is incredible, no wonder they made him captain.

ON THE PITCH. Read in context.

[MattFox]

Maguire’s performances for England really gloss over how bad he’s been at club level for United 

[Parafox]

Young lad on R5 now, what insight he has. 

[Kasey Keller]

Sorry Harry you don’t sound very convincing to me…….🤣🤣🤣🤣

Are journalists not allowed their opinions?

I did. Your post just mentioned the Maguire on "THE PITCH" stat then you compared that with Pogba who was rated higher than him, nothing about an "on the pitch" comparison. I don't understand

[RumbleFox]

I think Maguire is a great defender next to a reliable, more experienced head but not sure he’s captain material.

It wasn't my post.

Harry Maguire was still on the pitch and the game was (I'm pretty sure) still happening. Pogba had been sent off so wasn't on the pitch.

3pts from 4th 6 from 3rd but your righting us off now, after 9 games with 29 still to play 😂 joker

[SkidsFox]

I'm quite concerned about this. BR would find various reasons to spurn an approach from the likes 9f Spurs or Newcastle. I'm not so sure he would pass on the chance to manage Man Utd.

My immediate reaction is yes. Would he jump ship if offered the Man U job? 100% he would, let's not pretend otherwise.  And he will probably be their number 1 target now, Liverpool connection or not.

Souness is a shoe-in to criticise Pogba and suggest it was outrageous to hurt a fellow professional, as if he himself never stuck the boot in.
