Criticism has not affected Manchester United defender Harry Maguire, s the player was jeered by Scotland fans during the clash at Hampden Park, stressing that he will fight to reserve a place in the starting lineup.
The world’s most expensive defender was named in the Euros team of the tournament in 2021, but game time and form at Manchester United have dropped off since then.
England fans backed Maguire and chanted his name in Glasgow, with teammates like goalkeeper Ramsdale also offering support to the oft-criticized center-back.
Harry Maguire is once again at the center of criticism! Particularly singled out for his performances with England during this international break, the central defender has broken his silence! “I can handle the boos», signs the Daily Express on its cover. Indeed, this is what the Manchester United player says, he is not affected by the criticism and mockery, on the contrary. Obviously, this response made the headlines of the tabloids this Thursday, like the Daily Mirror or even Daily Star! Maguire is also on the cover of the sports pages of Daily Telegraph. The newspaper notably reports the words of Jamie Carragher, consultant for the daily, who affirms that the defender should stop paying and leave the team, for his own good. But clearly Maguire is not destabilized by these attacks. “I’m not going to say I’ve gotten used to it, but I can live with it.“, he admitted… The latter will now return to Manchester United where he was one of the undesirables during the last summer transfer window.
Maguire commented on his faltering transfer to West Ham, saying, "The only thing that matters is that we did not reach an agreement. Manchester United welcomed my continuation, and in return, I wanted to fight for a place in the squad."
