What is Harry Maguire famous for?
Is Maguire now the most talked about footballer in the world? Everyday Harry keeps trending! What is Harry Maguire famous for? English defender Harry Maguire has claimed that the media criticizes him because they know stories about the most famous Manchester United captain will generate “clicks”.
“I am not concentrating on anybody else and what people are saying, I think if people can make a story about me, I am Manchester United captain, it is going to make big news,” he told talkSPORT after their Nations League game.
“So, that is the reason they do it, they like the clicks, and things like that, but I went into the Euros after an eight-week injury, and did not play one game, and got into the team of the tournament. In terms of rustiness, and things like that, I am sure that won’t happen.”
Why do England and Man utd managers defend Harry Maguire?
Trev G says part of a GOOD manager’s job is to protect his players. And that doesn’t only mean taking the heat for them. It also means putting them in the best situation to succeed.
At times, that means you don’t expose them at all. Solskjaer did it and now Southgate is doing the same thing to Harry Maguire. They continue to pick Maguire during this horrendous period.
What Maguire needs is not to continue to be picked, so when he makes a mistake, it gets punished. What Southgate should do and Solskjaer failed to do is to NOT play Maguire and when he does get picked, it should be against players and teams against whom he will not be pressured.
In order to get his confidence back, he needs to be playing against the Andorra’s of the world, not Germany or Spain. It may be demotivating but to continue to pick him to play against high quality opponents only exposes him and eventually get the Manager fired. In those instances both the player and Manager lose.
The issue I have with the way some pundits defend Maguire isn’t so much the defense in itself, it’s the hypocrisy with which they criticize and attack other players for far less.
Relatively speaking, Maguire gets away with flopping in their eyes. It’s almost like they think a football team should be structured in a manner that gets the best out of him.
What is Harry Maguire famous for as a player?
Maguire himself answered this question by saying he is famous because he is Man Utd captain
Stats of Harry Maguire
29-year-old Maguire played the full 90 minutes in each of his first 71 Premier League matches, equalling Gary Pallister’s club record, though he could not quite surpass him as he was substituted in the following game against Aston Villa with a minor injury.
Under ten Hag, Manchester United lost their first two opening league matches in which Maguire started, conceding 6 goals.
Maguire joined United in an £80million deal from Leicester in August 2019, a fee that remains the most ever paid for a defender. With that valuation comes pressure, yet the centre-back thrived in his new surroundings and was named captain the following January following Ashley Young’s move to Inter.
According to football statistics hub FBref, in his six league appearances so far, Maguire’s partner Martinez has won 75 per cent of his aerial duels (nine in total). The 24-year-old is joint top among his fellow United defenders for both headers won and successful tackles, justifying being awarded the club’s player of the month award for August.
Reason why Maguire is famous in the media
“United fans do not enjoy being negative and would love to see Maguire’s resurgence for United or even somewhere else. However, the reason the media is absolutely critical of Maguire is because his team and allies are constantly leaking and campaigning in the media to shift blame on others.”.
“Firstly, Ronaldo did too much leading, then it was the Portuguese-speaking clique, and recently it was all De Gea’s fault that he’s not as good as Varane and Martinez.”, Mark Schoeman explained.
Just own the struggle and keep fighting, and a lot more people will be in your corner than not
Is Harry Maguire the captain of Man Utd? Yes, Maguire is still the main captain on the bench with Bruno Fernandes taking the armband as vice captain.
When did Maguire become United captain?
He became Utd captain on 17th January 2020. Harry Maguire made his Man United debut in their opening match of the Premier League season, a 4–0 home victory over Chelsea on 11 August, and received the Man of the Match award.
On 17 January 2020, the former Leicester center-back was named as the new club captain by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær following Ashley Young’s departure to Inter Milan.
Harry Maguire is famous for reckless defending?
One thing about poor Harry is for sure. Southgate needs to grow a pair and stop playing Maguire. He’s no longer a professional footballer. Harry Maguire is becoming more popular because he’s a living Meme of how NOT to defend.
What’s WRONG with Harry Maguire?! SportsFila.Com Looks At Full Analysis of Man Utd’s struggling defender
Sources close to Harry Maguire have blamed David de Gea and his defensive partners for his malaise at Manchester United. In an ESPN video, Sam runs through Mark Ogden’s in-depth article on Maguire and how it brings the Man United captain back into the spotlight once again.
Throwing his teammates under the bus, without correcting self awareness and taking accountability for his performance, while deflecting on his failures because previous managers always picked him…. How is this dilemma helping the team for the wrong reasons?
I still strongly believe it’s within Maguire’s contract to have captaincy and make appearances (even if it is for the last minute of the game) and it seems like these sources are his agents who are bothered by this.
We have never seen Maguire bring the same consistency, hunger and communication Varane and Martinez have brought. It is even more shocking that as a captain he hasn’t achieved this. Maguire is no longer a manager’s favorite and rightly so… this will not earn him a place in the starting 11 under Erik ten Hag.
Maguire needs to learn these 2 words himself (Self-awareness and Accountability). Whatever he says now can’t be undone and I believe due to his own naiveness or over-confidence, he has created his own misfortune and blunders.
I can’t see him coming back to the starting line-up after this. Stop trying to blame everyone for once and take some responsibility as a leader,

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 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
