Maguire is not as bad as people think

 Maguire is not as bad as people think


The performance against West Ham could bring a turning point for Manchester United and for the England midfielder himself this season.

In the 1-0 victory of the Old Trafford team on the evening of January 22 (Hanoi time), Harry Maguire was one of the best players. Before West Ham, the attacking stars of the "Red Devils" played badly. The MU midfield also played poorly. The fulcrum from the defense helped coach Ralf Rangnick's team win 3 valuable points at the last minute.


In his first start since the beginning of 2022, Maguire proves he is still a necessary piece for Man United.

Comeback

Earlier this week, Jaap Stam disparaged Maguire's quality. Former MU midfielder said the player born in 1993 was a waste of money. "Wes Brown (another former MU player - PV) is faster and faster than Maguire", Stam assessed, "Maguire has a good game but sometimes he has to do things beyond his ability".


Coach Ralf Rangnick can partly agree with the comment from the former Dutch player. The last two Premier League rounds when MU met Aston Villa and Brentford, Maguire sat on the bench. The German strategist seems to prefer using Varane and Lindelof.


When Lindelof was unable to play against West Ham because of family problems, Maguire became the best option Mr. Rangnick had. The performance against West Ham showed the value of the 28-year-old centre-back.


Along with teammate Varane, Maguire locked down West Ham striker Michail Antonio. The Man United captain has a 100% tackle accuracy rate. The former Leicester City star also owns up to 4 cuts, 5 successful recoveries and won 5 disputes in the air.


No player in Man United vs West Ham has better defensive stats than Maguire. Even Varane, MU's most experienced and classy centre-back at the moment, has many awkward moments in front of West Ham's attack.


Maguire is different. This central defender calms down and neutralizes the opponent's "English style" phases on the ball. Maguire's ability to pass and pull the ball helps MU open up many attack options in the context of the home team's poor midfield.


Maguire had 6 long passes exactly this match (total of 9 long passes). The England midfielder's passing accuracy rate against West Ham stands at 79%.


With a player who has not started in nearly a month like Maguire, a good performance against West Ham is no different from an affirmation of ability. Gary Neville believes that with what has happened since the beginning of 2022, Maguire is entering the most difficult period since arriving at Old Trafford.


At the beginning of this season, the £80 million contract played badly and made many mistakes, but coach Ole Solskjaer still favored him as the main kick. Coach Rangnick has a different view from his predecessor.


British media even revealed that the German strategist rated Maguire, Luke Shaw and Wan-Bissaka as not capable of starting the "Red Devils". However, rumors always need to be verified.


At least twice in the past, coach Rangnick affirmed that Maguire is still the captain of MU next time. "Coming back from injury, Maguire is training well and there is no reason for us to change the captain," the former Leipzig coach announced.
