Cheating is just so ingrained into the club and players, I'm sure they must practice certain moves on the training ground.

For their penalty Maguire quite obviously deliberately headed the ball vertically downward on to the defenders arm, it was a completely unnatural movement from him and it would have been far easier to just head it across the face of the goal.

Maybe it wasn't practice, and just that he's shit

the media around this game is a disgrace, its basically a united pr job but even worse than usual, take away all the supposedly dodgy decisions and var etc and look at the fact that the rags were two goals up when this happened, it wasnt 0 - 0 or even 1-0, they had an attacker sent off and then blew a 2 goal lead and then after blowing a 2 goal lead, then proceeded to blow the lead again.

All the var and down to 10 men bollocks does not excuse that and the press should be embarrassed of themselves that they are bringing out every ex red and pathetic cry baby that they can to whitewash over this and make united look like hard done to heroes.

I'll just say this. Imagine how the BBC and popular press would have reacted to that result had it been us on the receiving end. Rather than endless pathetic excuses and solemn analysis, we'd be subjected to gleeful ridicule and gloating.
Anyway, fuck 'em! After all, the red shirt media love-in is not exactly new is it?

If it wasn't for the shit ball to hand rules I'd agree it was the worst ever header, but given the rules it's quite obvious to me he did it deliberately.

Probably the strongest part of Maguires game is his heading ability, it's clearly something he meant to do and has probably practiced it on the training ground.

Against the SAME TEAM last season we went down to 10 men when Gomez was sent off after 30 minutes, the score was 0-0 at the time and finished 0-0.
We were "held by Copenhagen", "failed to score", "left frustrated"!

Having watched the highlights united were fortunate that Copenhagen only scored 4, they had numerous other chances that they should have converted if it wasn't for poor finishing.
 
I'm sure it's all been said, sadly I don't have time to read the whole thread since last night but there's a certain lack of dignity from Ten Hag moaning about decisions and what does it say about the mentality of the team that a red card, justified or not, can change the game so much?

Why is Ten Hag so insistent on playing Evans and Maguire and leaving Varane on the bench?

There's something not right there

Unfortunately for us and our amusement, this is what will be his downfall and cause of his eventual departure. You can tell it’s just poison. The Sancho stuff, Rashford stuff and, as you say, team selection.

It is everything the squad harmony at our club isn’t. I just hope it goes on as long as possible.

Did you not see him when he did come on? Bloody awful but worse than that he looked like he would rather be running backwards whilst naked through a forest of c*cks!

Maguire is playing well apparently despite the defence conceding 10 goals in its last 4 games !

This fuss about the red card is just typical United/Media. Pundits (all with links to them) - he didn’t mean it.

I’m sure he didn’t mean it but ultimately he stamped his leg down without looking where it was going and his leg was quite wide anyway if he was just looking to protect the ball. The fact he wasn’t looking means it is dangerous to do that with the force he used and he was rightly sent off for me. Had that been one of our players the pundits would have been unanimous in there “correct decision” assessment.

They are getting plaudits for the way they played in a game against a championship level side. Is losing a 2-0 lead and 3-2 lead to lose the game and concede 4 goals playing well? The media are still so desperate to see them do well. It’s tragic.
