    Maguire seemed to make a big difference to Man Utd on his debut. Be interesting to see how he does tonight

    The big man will want game time, take him back for another season and gives us cracking choices at centre back.

    Not normally a fan of loans but when it’s someone with the quality that Benkovic has you can’t turn it down.

    Would love him back here on loan with an option to buy but that’s probably pushing it. That would show some ambition. Doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere at Leicester.

    Contracted until June 2023 apparently :thumbsdow

    I read into it that he’s quite happy to roll the dice at Leicester. No intention of moving here again

    Ah well.

    I didn’t think it would happen due to them being short at CB. Think they only have 4.

    Got an injury while away with Croatia in the summer, didn't play in any club friendlies and hasn't really had a pre-season so doesn't really have much match fitness at the moment which is why he is playing for the u23s, still trains with the first team.

    Might get a chance in our cup game in a few weeks, once he has built up his match fitness I think he will very likely be on the bench for now unless he really impresses when he gets a chance as unfortunately he isn't likely to displace Evans (our best centre back) or Soyuncu (stepped in to replace Maguire and has played excellently)

    I do think it would be better for him to go back out on loan to Celtic, however as someone has already mentioned we are rather short at centre back so don't think it is very likely, and he may get his chance as Evans does has a thing for picking up little niggly injuries
