Yeah, I remember. It doesnt make a difference to me. In America, we have school buses that drive across a county to pick up and drive kids to school. MUFC should have something like that.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been charged with driving his Lamborghini while disqualified and without insurance. The maximum penalty for driving while disqualified can be six months in prison, but can also be subject to a community order.

My logic is generally footballers are quite out of touch with the world, and with foreign players clubs are more involved with player liaisons to try to help them integrate in their new countries with things like paying council taxes, or driving regulations and requirements Whereas with English players in England they're left to their own devices and these sort of results occur
But isn't driving licence and insurance common everywhere? Anyone learning to drive and own a car is supposed to take care of these on their own.
Haven’t read the details (is the Daily Mail - so wouldnt want to dirty my soul with their take on things) but driving while disqualified usually means there is a prior offence such as excessive speeding that lead to the disqualification. The insurance thing is a bit of a poisson rouge / follow-on in that you wouldnt / shouldnt be able to get insurance while disqualified anyway. Getting in his car and driving, when he presumably knew he was disqualified does not sound too good …
Time for AWB to hire a driver I suppose: probably going to have his license suspended for a while. Manchester United's Aaron Wan-Bissaka has pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified, without a licence and without insurance.— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) September 1, 2021
i've been critical of him, and he has been pretty bad of late, but in his defence i will say that he hasn't had a proper mentor or any kind of mentor since he joined. as a young player he should have that to learn from. whatever he could have learnt from Dalot never materialised because he went on loan. that said i still don't think he'll make it here long term. telescopic leg or not. i know commentators say this from time to time but it amazes me that he could have had any consideration at all as a winger when he was younger. no close control? no finesse to his touch? no dribbling ability? who thought that was a good idea??? sadly i also think Keane is right in that Palace wouldn't have him back either. the other youth they brought through Mitchell or something looks better
Did he really miss the Arsenal game today because he had a bruised hand? If so, the boy is softer than baby shit.
He's no Ronnie Lott, that's for sure. Maybe AWB not having the confidence, preferring to sit it out, and Carrick not really trusting him to do the job. Somewhere in between that probably explains it.
Maybe that is why he was moved to right back. I am almost afraid to say that Brandon Williams is as good on the ball as him and that is saying something.
Crap sources (mostly via Duncan Castles), but being reported that AWB fined for not turning up to training and claiming to be ill. If any truth then seems to fit a pattern that we seem to have a player culture / player power problem at our club ...
AWB is one of the dumbest buys we have made in recent years. It shows the club doesnt understand the pieces that go into making a top team. Name me one top team that has defensive wingbacks? They dont exist anymore because in the age of 4-2-3-1 you need wingbacks for width in attack. We bought a traditional RB that has elite tackling, horrible defensive positioning, and is useless in attack. And we paid 50 mil for it.
Well when you have a team built around counter-attacking it's not as crazy but when you don't then yes it is
I agree. That's also partly why Maguire looked decent when he first joined and looks terrible now. Maguire is a decent stay at home, compact, field crosses type of defender but hes awful for a team that wants to play on the front foot.
System wise at the time, both AWB and Mag looked to be a decent/ok fit. But when you realize we paid 130mil or thereabouts for THEM? That is what makes you head spin: at those prices, we should have had world class, adaptable talent, not middle of the road, very much system driven/limited players like those 2. It always felt like money down the drain for the both of them: we wanted to believe and back them, because they're what we got. But it was always clear they were middling buys at best. And if/when we decide to move them, we'll lose lots of money but I'd bite the bullet and try my utmost to sell both, as soon as this summer. If we can only get about 50% of their value back, then so be it.
The club paid record fees, whether it's England ones (for Pallister) or world record ones (for Stam and Rio). All those guys were worth breaking the bank for on one level or another, but Maguire... Really? Anyone with a shred of football know how would have known that was a bad (and just laughable) idea. Then, as if the pressure of his price tag was not heavy enough, we go on and make him captain right off the bat because Ole. So much for that 'culture reset' thing that was being peddled at the time. We're going to buy supposed top English talent (at inflated rates I might add) to build a spine around, just because Ole wanted to copy what SAF used to do back in the day. Great plan. Thank God we were spared Longstaff at 50mil or God knows what other move we tried to engineer than that eventually fell thru...
