Is Harry Maguire Good Enough for Man Utd?
SportsFila takes a deep dive look at what factors are affecting Harry Maguire’s form at Manchester United and what’s to come for the 29-year-old defender with England in the World Cup. Is Harry Maguire Good Enough for Man Utd?
Harry Maguire keeps dragging his teammates out from a tackle, like he did to Luke Shaw against Spurs; it’s not a matter of pacy teammates. He has been poor in form and that’s a fact!!!
If Maguire has shown anything in the past 2 years at United, it’s that he is not good enough to be a starting center-back in this team, let alone wear the captain’s armband. Whichever defender is next to him (in this case Martinez) has to constantly cover for him which means they cannot focus on their own game. Having one useless center-back results in two useless center-backs no matter how good one of them is. Stretty News claims Harry Maguire blames communication with De Gea for his struggles at United.
He’s been awful for 18 months, you earn your place in the team through performance – not because you’re English.
While Harry Maguire kept the captain’s armband following Erik ten Hag’s arrival, the England international has lost his place in the team, with Bruno Fernandes taking the captaincy role on a temporary basis in his place.

Ruben Dias vs Harry Maguire, who is better?
Swapping Ruben Dias with Harry Maguire! Ruben would struggle at United and Harry will fly at City?
That’s a one sided opinion to start with.
ESPN’s Mark Ogden’s opinion is as stupid as Harry Maguire’s defending. Harry was never good to begin with. He was just overhyped by the media because he cost 80 million pounds.
Is Harry Maguire Good Enough for Man Utd?
The problem is Maguire, not Diaz. The insane argument is that Maquire is not being helped by his teammates or defending partners, such that if Diaz plays for United, he will NOT receive support? Look, that’s what leadership is all about.
When you are the heart of the backline and the entire defense system, you have to be in a commanding position, orchestrate a counter attack, use the ball wisely, link up play, build up a solid defense, and respond to challenges without any second thoughts. What Maguire is lacking is exactly what Diaz is good at. So, don’t agree with the assumption or suggesting that Dias will struggle, given the situation he will play at United in Maguire’s position.
How good is Manchester United Captain Harry Maguire?
According to Zetmiester, “Harry Maguire is just not good enough as a defender for a top club. He is not fast enough, not aggressive enough, doesn’t communicate well enough, does not read the game well enough. Stop blaming everybody else. The fans can see it– why not the English pundits? David de Gea saved ManU skins so many times last season. I have heard you pundits say Ronaldo and David were the only top players performing for ManU last season.“
Amankona Frederick added, “You guys better stop this right there. Put Harry Maguire where? Do you guys even see the unforced errors he’s been making for the past couple seasons? You can’t defend a defender who lacks awareness, is terrible at positioning and lacks pace. Finally United has got a coach who has the bravery to keep him on the bench unlike other coaches who kept playing him while he kept playing horrible.”

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
