The Red Devils hoped they had secured their own version of Virgil van Dijk when they lured the former Leicester City man to Old Trafford. However, considering the developments so far, it appears that hope is still lurking at a distance.
Despite signing the Englishman, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's men have been one of the worst teams defensively in the Premier League this season. They've recorded three defeats and three draws from eight games so far, conceding a whopping eight goals in the process.
Maguire is yet to introduce the kind of impact The Red Devils expected of him. It appears United's defense is getting even worse despite having the Englishman on their side.
