I bet he will still take them.
He will but have the added pressure of *him* watching him, can't be nice.

If this list is accurate then McTominay needs a new agent or a new contract! https://www.spotrac.com/epl/manchester-united-fc/payroll/

You could say the same about Maguire/Wan Bissaka if it's true though. For starting 11 players to be behind fringe/bench players seems criminal.
Surprised Lingard isn't on more, i'd have thought someone mid table would've been able to afford those wages for him.
Not these daysDefenders are usually paid less than attacking players
Not these days
Griezmann is up there with sanchez and Torres as the worst signing of all time.
Not these days
we talking transfer fee or wages?Which defenders are paid as much as Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Griezmann, Ronaldo etc? None of them.

VVD, miguer, stone, Ben White etc all cost more than most midfielders/strikers that united/liverpool/city/Arsenal paid for respectively
I agree about Maguire, some want to be VVD though.Most kids don't grow up wanting to be VvD or Maguire.

Torres and to an even greater extent Sanchez cannot hold a candle to Griezmann. They paid £100m for him and paid him £600k/week for 2 years. Hes back at AM now on a free loan and they still have to figure out what they are doing with him next season.
Yes these days. Defenders don't command anything like the money attacking players do and there are far far fewer truly elite defenders around.
Both. Still.
VVD £75m
Maguire £80m
White £50m
Citys entire defence + duplicates and triplicates ~£50m each
Neymar £198m
Mbappe £163m
Couthinho £105m
Felix £104m
Griezmann £107m
Grealish £100m
Lukaku £97.5m
I could continue.
In the top 20 largest transfers ever, 18/20 are midfielders or forwards. Out of the top 20, 15 are forwards.
Defenders don't get paid as much and don't cost as much. That has always been the case. You don't win fans with your defenders. Most kids don't grow up wanting to be VvD or Maguire, they want to be Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, Rooney etc.
