The arrival of Ruben Amorim at the helm of Manchester United has brought significant changes to the Red Devils’ starting XI. Among the notable decisions, the sidelining of Marcus Rashford and the return of Harry Maguire to the central hinge.
Established in the last four matches, the English defender, however, failed to stop the negative spiral of the team, which recorded three consecutive defeats against Tottenham in the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup (English League Cup). , as well as against Bournemouth and Wolverhampton in the Premier League. Despite these poor performances, the Portuguese coach was keen to praise the state of mind of the former United captain.
Maguire makes no excuses
“He works really well, he concentrates on his work and not on what people say. Harry makes no excuses, even though he has had difficult times. I think that in this area, he is an example”declared the former Sporting coach at a press conference before the Newcastle reception on Monday, as part of the 19th day of the championship.
Since the start of the season, Maguire has taken part in 15 matches in all competitions, including 10 as a starter. A participation limited in part by a muscle injury which kept him away from the field for more than a month, between October and November, and forced him to miss 9 matches.
