Harry Maguire (30) has been going through an ordeal since signing for Manchester United. Bullied by some of his teammates, the defender has above all become the target of mockery and whistles on the Premier League pitches due to his errors on the pitch and the price of his transfer of €87 million in the summer of 2019 ( the most expensive defender in history then) from which he cannot remove the label. Having become a substitute at Manchester United, he is still called up by Gareth Southgate for the national team but things are not going well here either. He was targeted again after his new blunder against Scotland on Tuesday evening. If he received the support of his coach, Maguire also obtained that… of his mother. The latter explained on social networks the disgust of seeing her son be considered in this way.
“As a mother, seeing the level of negative and abusive comments my son receives from some fans, pundits and media is shameful and completely unacceptable. He is someone who works hard for the club and the country. I was in the stands as usual, what was done is not acceptable. I understand that in the world of football, there are ups and downs, positives and negatives, but what Harry receives goes well beyond football. Watching him go through what he’s going through is not acceptable. I would hate to see other parents or players experience this in the future, especially young boys and girls coming up through the ranks. Harry has a huge heart and he’s a good worker, he’s strong and can handle it, when others couldn’t. I wouldn’t wish this kind of abuse on anyone!”writes Zoé Maguire on Instagram.
