A descent into hell. In 2019, Harry Maguire became the most expensive defender in history at the time when he moved from Leicester City to Manchester United for 93 million euros. Holder in force, the English settled in the axis without problem, he who later recovered the captain’s armband. But little by little, Maguire began to experience difficulties. On the pitch, he was no longer as imperial as he had been in the past.
His attitude also posed a problem in the locker room, where some, including Cristiano Ronaldo, questioned his status as captain. His remarks made after the MU meetings in 2021-22 also annoyed part of the locker room. In delicacy and downgraded, the British player lived a complicated year under the orders of Erik ten Hag. And the Dutch technician again struck a blow on the head of his player. Indeed, he deprived him of the captain’s armband. What the player did not really appreciate, even if he accepted this choice.
Maguire has many suitors
“After talking to the manager today, he informed me that he was changing captain. He explained his reasons to me and even if I am personally very disappointed, I will continue to give my best every time I wear the jersey. A jersey that the English international (57 caps, 7 goals) has a good chance of no longer wearing precisely since Lisandro Martinez, Raphaël Varane and even Victor Lindelöf are in front of him in the eyes of his coach. Barred by competition, Maguire interested several clubs.
This summer, Tottenham has positioned itself. Spurs are counting on Harry Kane to convince him, but the striker is on the way out. West Ham, Newcastle and Chelsea, who already have people in this position, have an eye on him according to The Sun. The British media also mentions an interest from Inter Milan as well as two Saudi clubs, namely Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr. Seven clubs are therefore following the 30-year-old footballer whose price has been set at a minimum of 50 million euros. It remains to be seen which of them will be ready to put as much and above all where the unfortunate Harry Maguire, who has gone from dream to nightmare at the Theater of Dreams, will want to play.
