Erik ten Hag touched on the situation surrounding Harry Maguire, who after being in the first line-up for the first two rounds of the PL, sat on the bench for the match against Liverpool!
Football players from “Old Trafford” surprised the football world with a victory over their bitter rival in the last round of the Premiership.
However, in addition to the victory, many were surprised that the United captain was not in the first line-up.
– It is good that the team has competition, it is always needed. We have to cover a lot of games and we can do it in several variations. Maguire? If you are the captain, it does not mean that you should always play, especially when Varane is in the team – said Ten Hag
Recall that Maguire arrived from Leicester in 2019 in a transfer worth 70,000,000 pounds, making him the most expensive stopper in the history of the Premier League.
However, he did not provide the games that were expected of him and became a frequent victim of United fans, as well as the target of criticism from numerous analysts.
