Harry Maguire (Manchester United) showed a firm will to keep competing despite his unstable position.
On the morning of the 11th (Korean time), Manchester United, who played the 2022-2023 Carabao Cup (EFL) quarterfinals at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, defeated Charlton Athletic 3-0. With one goal from Anthony and two goals from Marcus Rashford, United progressed to the semi-finals.
Coach Eric Tenhach operated the rotation to arrange physical strength, and Maguire digested full-time. He paired with Lisandro Martinez as a central defender and left significant defensive figures, including 6 duel victories, 5 kicks and 1 interception. Man Utd also recorded two key passes while attacking. Maguire, who had an interview with ‘MUTV’ after the match, said, “Man United wants a championship trophy. We are a winning team. But it has been a long time since we did not win.”
Maguire’s performance on this day was complied with, but throughout this season, he is losing his place in Tenhach’s managerial system. In the English Premier League (EPL), starting appearances are limited to four. After the World Cup break in Qatar, left fullback was pushed back by Luke Shaw, the main position. Of the six matches Manchester United played, only two started. Rio Ferdinand, a legendary Manchester United defender, said through Britain’s ‘Vibe With Five’, “Maguire has played well in the World Cup, but he is not being used at Manchester United. When I returned after playing in the World Cup, Patrice Evra replaced me as center back. It’s like running,” he pointed out.
However, Maguire explained, “After the World Cup, I got sick and almost fainted for about a week or two.” Then, he said, “I feel good. There are many good central defenders in our club, so we compete for a spot. I will continue to fight.” . 스포츠토토
Maguire said, “We are seriously working on all competitions. In the case of last season, the final results of all competitions were disappointing. The team is getting stronger little by little and we are constantly looking for areas where we can improve further. We will show a better image.” also revealed
