Has to be a poker game between us and him and his agent... he must want to leave and we want him gone. Who folds first?
Maguire | he stays!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Hypothetically, if we keep him for one more year as cover and Pavard stays put to sign for us next summer as a free agent, will we be better off or worse off, financially?
Exactly it’s just a standoff over money now, could be West Ham who fold first if they get fed up and find another option.
We paid off Sanchez so much more just to leave and while it’s not saying much Maguire was a better signing and is worth more on the open market.
We pay another year of his salary, his value will drop significally, will Pavard be interested next season? Might be a financial loss as well as a sporting one
Was always gonna be on the bench. We won't sell him until a replacement is sorted. With Bayern rejecting our offer for Pavard, looks like there is still some negotiations to be done there. So Maguire will stay until Pavard is sorted. Would probably expect this situation to be sorted either towards the end of this week or early next week.On the bench
We don't want to be doing a Liverpool in that we let the player leave before having a replacement sorted.
I agree to an extent, and I think he’ll excel at West Ham. But it’s less of an issue for England because Pickford actually comes off his line. De Gea is a nightmare for a centre back
This was never getting done before our game, Todibo will probably accelerate now after the Bayern news and Maguire is probably gone by Wednesday.
Oh man, this means he’s not agreed to terms. He’s not going anywhere is he?
It says he's agreed terms...
The hold up is that him and United are negotiating the pay off he's going to get for leaving his current contract.
Phew, thanks for the update!
Find it mad he's on the bench tbh, he's obviously off.
Bluffing. They've made him an offer to tear up his contract and he either accepts it or gets used to the best seats in the house to watch United.
Yeah. Madness imo.
cnut, just leave already.
If that's true then I hope we punish his greed by marginalising him. Sit in the stands and train with the reserves for the remainder of your contract and miss out on the Euros.
Edit - has been posted
I find that hard to believe to be true. Think custis is playing to the crowd on this one.
Exactly my thought...
All those people acting as if he wasn’t being a cnut asking for a payoff.
Surely there is no way on gods green earth that a player like Laporte goes to the Hammers?!!
Yet we let him sit in the bench tonight?
Yes, let’s take a Sun article at face value as fact. That’s always the smart thing to do!!
Had to laugh when the co commentator on sky said it was a testament to Maguire that ETH trusted him to sit on the bench while this move was going on.
Hes clearly asking for a payoff. Its been reported by various outlets before today
All as reputable as Neil Custis?
Stranger things have happened.
That bloke is a typical attention seeking shit stirrer
The United bench tonight was thin. Calls for selling Maguire and McTom on the cheap are going to leave the manager very short.
I’m not sure the owners will sanction much extra funds either this summer either.

If its true then ruin his career, just send him to the stands and condemn him to individual training for the duration of his contract. We are too nice so everyone thinks they can grab money from us.
Well within his right to ask it. Well within our right to put him train with U18 for the next two years if he maintains this demand.
Was stupid what ETH said for him and then having him on the bench. We should make to him clear that it is either West Ham or reserves.
My captain, etc
Forget the 15m figure.. I don't think we are keen on any payoff.. If he wants to play, he leaves.. If not, he stays as 4th choice.. I think we are fine with both..
the transfer fee isnt large enough to considering paying him off to leave..

Yeah didn't come on to finish the game while hanging on, should tell you all you need to know.
