# Villa fans reckon Tyrone Mings was a bargain compared to Harry Maguire

Aston Villa fans reckon that Tyrone Mings was a bargain compared to Manchester United’s Harry Maguire.

The England duo have been [pictured together](https://twitter.com/villareport/status/1169194403975634946?s=20) in training whilst on international duty, with the Three Lions set for European qualifiers this week.

Both player’s moved clubs over the summer, with Mings moving from Bournemouth to Villa, whilst Maguire moved from Leicester City to Man United.

On Twitter, many Villa fans reckon that Dean Smith got a better deal for Mings, and that United very much overpaid to sign Harry Maguire from the Foxes.

[@GIGBUDDY23](https://twitter.com/GIGBUDDY23/status/1169307619191939083) reckons that Mings can impress, tweeting that: “Harry who ?????? ???? Come on @OfficialTM\_3 show them what a real center half can do for England ??????”

[ChrisFox519](https://twitter.com/ChrisFox519/status/1169326478858887169) reckons that Mings was a steal, saying that: 26 million looks a bargain based on that picture ??”

[LukeAVFC96](https://twitter.com/LukeAVFC96/status/1169206767470960640) can’t believe the fee that Manchester United paid for Maguire, saying “80 Mill for him aswell ??‍♂️”

### Read Aston Villa’s Verdict

Mings’ play in his early Aston Villa career certainly suggests he could be a bargain compared to the huge fee paid by United for Maguire.

Considering Villa only paid £25 million and Mings is already in the England squad suggests they might have picked up a steal.

Many have questioned the fee paid by United for Maguire, with the Red Devils struggling for results so far this season.

Mings might not start over Maguire yet, with Gareth Southgate probably being cautious ahead of the European Qualifiers.
