South Coast Royal VVD hardly breaks into a sweat.

Maybe he should try it and Liverpool might concede less.

Did you watch the game?
From the few glances that I had Maguire was grappling in the opposition box.

BTW , Maguire replacing Shaw-is this 2020 or is it 2025?


Just had a quick look for a heatmap for him, but couldn't find one. You might be right, just need to check.

Shaw, Maguire, and Casemiro are the type of players Utd would love to shift off the books. Difficult to do as they were awarded ridiculous contracts by the previous management regime. Out of interest, how long are Salah and VVD's new contracts?


I'm not sure but I think it is 2 further years beyond this season.

Mo in particular looks as though he could even match Ronaldo for fitness and VVD hardly breaks into a sweat so they could well remain near to or at the top of their game for quite some time yet.
These two do fit into the too often overused "world class" category IMHO and they really can't be compared to the likes of Shaw (particularly because of his injury record) or Maguire.

Man Utd are in the fortunate position when compared with any other club than Real Madrid that, because they are minted from long term merchandising, they can almost just keep on buying until they eventually get it right.
Fortunately for the rest of the teams in England the "getting it right" still looks to be a long way off.


Both Salah and VvD signed 2 year extensions and are therefore contracted until the summer of 2027. Salah could go on playing at a high level, like Ronaldo, as he keeps himself in as prime a condition as possible. It is extremely unlikely Liverpool will extend either deal beyond 2027 though as they look to identify replacements over the next couple of years. Some suggestions that Michael Olise has already been earmarked to pick up from Salah :?

Konate is more the issue I think, has looked awful for the last 6 months, like his mind is elsewhere for some reason.

United fan decided last October not to cut his hair until his club won five games in a row. They've not even got to four. He's now got the most magnificent barnet.

Bet he was glad he got through the Sutcliffe stage and could start an ELO tribute band.

Nothing new though, Fellani started something similar when he joined Utd.

I think they are doing rather well as it is and are quite happy with his overall game.
