Ten Hag probably didn’t think his job would start quite like this! Getting the white light shined in his eyes and getting pummelled by the interviewer 1 week into the season!

#1 rule of leadership. You take the **** for your team.

I'd be putting the team lead on disciplinary if they let a team member face the music after a performance like that. Totally unacceptable, in any leadership position, let alone captain of a Premier league team.

That is absolute nonsense. If one of your teammates comes up and says he wants to own up to his mistakes and face the music you don't tell him to sit down and shut up

It's strange people are so hung up on Martinez's height. I mean of course it's not ideal in some situations but it's not like you can't possibly succeed without being much taller.

I wish a single centre back was our only problem.

He will struggle bid time against the more physical sides who play it long. Also its not like he has someone next to him who is half decent either.

Not sure how Ajax played but he looks more suited to a 3 CB system.

I hope you're not in any kind of leadership position with a spineless attitude like that.

You'd probably fit right in with current united setup tbf.

Maguire should have been the one coming out not throw de gea under the bus because of a mistake, maguires been tosh for over 12 months

How exactly did he throw him under the bus?

Good to see Neville showing his true colours, just wants a sugar daddy to come in and rescue them

by allowing him to come out when it should be the captain

hes spineless

There’s something more than just united have bought lots of bad players going on at the club.

Did Bruno become a bad player? Did Sancho become a bad player? Maguire wasn’t this bad a player, hell even Shaw has lost the plot from a year or two ago.

There is something rotten in the mentality there and no idea who or what it is.

DDG is technically the more senior player. If he wants to speak and explain himself, let him

I don't think he said or implied that? He'd just like owners who care and are involved. The club generates significant money, even now.

And spend a billion or 2, hang on, haven't the current owners done that.

He's moaning that they don't spend their own money unlike those wonderful owners the man city lot/abramovich

He is right though it doesn't matter if someone has messed up. You do not let them take the fall. You were the one on watch so take the fall for it. That is how a leader works.

They're teammates, Maguire isn't responsible for teammates actions. That isn't what a captain does it's what a manager does. Players do interviews all the time when they aren't captains you lot are so weird :confused:

Or Spurs owners, or Chelsea's owners. In fact I'm pretty sure only two clubs in the league get 0 investment and only 2 clubs have owners that actually take money out of the club.

He's making the point that the money they spend is club revenue, they're not using their own wealth. It's a valid point and counters those who say because they spend money, they care.

The club have spent a lot on players (very badly and without any sort of a plan), but as I said earlier, everything else has been neglected.

How many owners actually spend their own money out of interest, bar the human rights abusing ones?

I think our lot did but that was pretty much an interest free loan for stadium improvements
