I believe he\u2019s been sensational with what he\u2019s done, I\u2019m so so pleased for him, but I\u2019m occupied with a Manchester United team you desire to win the league and the Champions League and that\u2019s where United needs to be aiming. I\u2019m unsure you\u2019d try this with Maguire, unless you\u2019ve got someone like a Rio [Ferdinand] next to him then possibly, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s Manchester United, you\u2019ve got to be talking about winning the Premier League. If it\u2019s one among 4, you\u2019d probably take him but I\u2019d have De Ligt in that as one among 4. I believe they\u2019re each quite similar but De Ligt is slightly bit younger in order that\u2019s on his side, he\u2019s slightly bit quicker, so I\u2019d probably just go for De Ligt.\u2019<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<\/div><figcaption>Maguire is having fun with his time under Carrick (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lisandro<\/strong> <strong>Martinez<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Scholes: \u2018Do  what? After, publicly, we got a little bit of s*** [for their recent comments about Martinez], in all seriousness, when he was playing I believed he was really good. I do, I genuinely think he was really good. Once I\u2019m talking about one among 4, you consider Maguire and De Ligt with a Martinez\u2026 I don\u2019t think he suits them. I believe they need someone more dominant, more quick, more strong, someone who just takes the ball of centre-forwards, \u201cGet out my way!\u201d, Jaap Stam, Rio Ferdinand.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The one thing I like about him is he\u2019s got an awesome left foot, he plays really good, but are you winning the Premier League, the Champions League with him as your centre-half? Again, I believe every centre-half they\u2019ve got, they need a greater one next to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019d probably just keep him.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leny<\/strong> <strong>Yoro<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Scholes: \u2018I believe he\u2019s struggled, me.
