Manchester United manager Eric ten Haag revealed his thoughts on Harry Maguire (29).

Maguire wore a Manchester United uniform in 2019 for a transfer fee of £85 million (about 130 billion won), the highest ever for a defender. Manchester United expected Maguire to play an active role as a key defender for the team in the long term. Maguire was trusted by taking on the captaincy.

However, he has been drastically shaken since last season. His weakness, his slow feet, became a target for opponents, and his concentration often fell during matches. In the end, after coach Eric Ten Hag denied this season, he was pushed out of the competition for the starting position and only played 4 games in the league. 토토

Unlike at Manchester United, he was still a regular in the England national team. England’s coach Gareth Southgate trusted Maguire and appointed him as a main player in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Maguire regained his former form at the World Cup and led the defense with a stable game.

Director Ten Haag also welcomed Maguire’s resurrection. According to England’s ‘The Sun’ on the 12th (Korean time), coach Ten Haag said, “I know that Maguire is a great player. I hope he will show his national team appearance at Manchester United as well. When he plays with the confidence he has now, he will be an important player for us.”

He continued, “It is up to Maguire to contribute to his team and play again. Manchester United have 16-18 outstanding players. To win, you need top-notch players. If he wants to leave, he can grant a transfer,” he added, throwing a clear message.

Man United has been continuously rumored to sign Kim Min-jae (Napoli). However, in order to recruit Kim Min-jae, the defense needs to be organized. In addition to the main players Lisandro Martinez and Rafael Baran, Maguire and Victor Lindelof are competing in the center. Even the news that Manchester United is considering selling Maguire to recruit Kim Min-jae has come out, drawing attention to Maguire’s move.
