Erik Ten hag and Harry Maguire
The captain’s role does not ensure Harry Maguire a starting position, according to Erik ten Hag, as Manchester United’s manager gushed about Raphael Varane‘s “immense” size. Following the losses to Brentford and Brighton, the 29-year-old was benched on Monday, and Varane joined summer addition Lisandro Martinez in the 2-1 victory over Liverpool.
By everyone associated with Old Trafford, the 2017–18 season will be remembered for the club’s worst-ever Premier League goal total of 57, which was conceded by a shaky defence. Maguire received particular criticism, but Ten Hag backed the under-fire England center-back by announcing that he will keep the leadership at the start of United’s preseason trip.
What errors has Harry Maguire made so far this year?
Maguire has made an astonishing 16 mistakes this season that have resulted in goals for the opposition, according to sources On September 14, when Man Utd lost to Young Boys 2-1 in the Champions League, he made his first error of the year.
Nicolas Ngamaleu scored after Maguire mishandled a cross from the right, giving United a 1-0 lead. Although the ball was actually a little behind Maguire, the defender’s error is being blamed for this goal. In the 4-2 loss at Leicester on October 16, Maguire made four additional mistakes that resulted in goals, making him responsible for each goal that his former team scored.
On the half-hour mark, with Man Utd leading 1-0, Kelechi Iheanacho pickpocketed Maguire when he was in possession. When Youri Tielemans received the ball from the Nigerian, he looped it over De Gea to tie the score at one. Maguire then failed to clear a corner in the 77th minute when the score was still tied because his weak header went straight to Patson Daka. Caglar Soyuncu eventually received the strike from the Zambian, giving Leicester a 2-1 lead.
Marcus Rashford had made it 2-2 when Leicester scored again right away from the kickoff as Jamie Vardy stabbed the ball in after Maguire had lost possession of the ball. Then, in the 90th minute, while Maguire was marking Daka at a free-kick, the attacker managed to score by sneaking in behind him.
