Hi all,

Just curious on what everyone's defensive lineup would be should Maguire sign and the rest stay the same.

Personally would love to see,
De Gea
AWB, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw

With regular apps from,
Bailly and Dallot

Thoughts?

I think bailly could force his way back into a starting role if he stays injury free.

Baiily has the recovery pace that both lindelof and maguire lack and his ball playing abilities aren't as bad as people say they are.

Also if shaw keeps performing as he did towards to the end of last season when he made horrendous mistakes against wolves and huddersfield, he will be dropped with dalot or the supremely popular ashley young taking his place.

It's the first time in 5 years wherein Shaw played more than 35 games in a single season. So he was bound to run out of juice towards the end of last season.
I expect him to have an even better year this time with him being more threatening in attack.

AWB, imo will be a revelation.

Lindelof is progressing steadily after his dodgy first season.

Maguire will hopefully add the physicality and settle down the back 4.
All 4 are good on the ball so we can confidently play out from the back.
The fullbacks have pace and can provide good width in attack.

De Gea signing a new deal is massive.

Overall, the back 5 look solid with Tuanzebe, Bailly and Dalot providing adequate backup.

IF we land Maguire.

Some long medical this that Maguire is having.

Maybe he’s walking from Leicester to Manchester.
