poor bloke, slabhead nickname, if you like.
No, I didn't know how to quite bring that out, but you've just got to say it.
But, you know, he's living up to that, really, and to the captain's armband, because he's had 78 headed clearances in the Premier League this season, which is the second highest behind James Tarkowski at Burnley, who's also another potential Euro 2020 candidate.
Another slab... I couldn't possibly say that about James Tarkowski.
He's also won...
135 aerial battles, which isn't a surprise considering how many headers he's made, which is the fifth highest.
He's also played in the joint highest number of Premier League minutes this season.
There's a whole bunch of players up there and David De Gea is up there as well, actually.
But he is a doubt for Sunday.
But as James Cooper said, Man United will be doing everything possible to make sure that he's fit for that game.
He's had a rest in midweek, obviously.
He was slightly injured for the FA Cup game.
So keep everything crossed, Man United fans, that he's fit for the weekend because he really is
a key player, and he's quite that solid partnership with Victor Lindelof at the back.
I kind of feel like Lindelof was a bit...
not an unknown entity but he was just sort of there but now that he's with Maguire he's really bringing out the best in him and Eric Bailly is going to have a real job to break those two up I know he's back from injury now but to get into that full time team he's going to have a real job of that and then you look at the wing backs or the full backs with Aaron Rambisaka and Luke Shaw and I think both of them are brilliant especially Rambisaka I remember watching him at Crystal Palace
And he was just superb.
And he's strong, he's quick, and he's excellent at right wing back.
And I would even go as far to say that he rivals Trent Alexander-Arnold for talent.
And I would have him in that Euro 2020 squad instead of Kieran Trippier, who's injured at the moment.
