– It’s not that easy for Harry (not to play anymore), but when he’s still giving the performance he did today – it’s very well done. Both with and without the ball. take over. Ten Hag said at the press conference that he had ruled.
– This is also my request to him, which is his transfer to the field in this match, he added.
– I think this Harry Maguire is different now than what I saw in the first weeks and months here. “He takes a lot of initiative, he dominates his opponents, he gets forward, he puts in passes, so it was a really nice performance from Harry,” said the United boss.
– I’m sure I’ll start more games
Maguire himself admits he is unhappy with his playing time.
– I’m not going to stand here and say I love him or love him. I want to play in every game, and I’ve done that for the last eight seasons. At the same time, I must respect the manager and his decisions. I also respect that there is good competition for stops now.
– That’s why it’s about performing when I get the chance. I want to win and make a difference to the team.
My mentality now is that I want to win two more titles for the club this season. I want to work as hard as I can on the coaching field and take it one game at a time. I’m sure I’ll be making more starts between now and the end of the season.
She also started the last two matches before the national team break, against Betis and Fulham. So I wasn’t frozen or put on the sidelines. I play a lot of matches, but I want to play all the players in every game. I feel good mentally and physically this season and every time I start I show myself, says Maguire himself.
