His team mate didn't respect his approach and authority so it's precisley the opposite of good leadership. There's a time and place for it too. Losing 2-1 with 5 minutes to go in a semi-final is certainly not it. A flare-up like that isn't going top help us get back in the game. He should call him out in the dressing room if he feels the need to.
Harry Maguire involved in incident with police in Greece - conviction nullified by appeal, full retrial pending

Probably best to wait on some actual facts before stating he attacked police.
I’m not saying he hasn’t done anything, but would prefer some detail, rather than tweets etc.
Also is shouting at Lindelof in one match suddenly How to 10x your captaincy credentials?
Different forms of leadership. Roy Keane would give anyone a bollocking and he was arguably one of the best ever captains for the club.
I agree with that and most of the footballers are from humble upbringings, they’re just normal lads thrust into limelight and ridiculous amounts of money. They’ll make mistakes like any other human being. I’d be much more concerned if he had form for it.
Agreed. Bruno is a natural leader as much as Maguire if not more so. Bruno becoming captain soon enough seems very inevitable.
Schmeichel, Bruce and Pallister were at it all the time.
A minority, yet you say 9/10 of any drink idiots are English?
Perhaps put your stereotyping prejudices back in the box.
Arguably one of the best? He the best captain United ever had.
Then there's the issue of footballers themselves being an obvious target. Idiots trying to make a name for themselves by "taking on a footballer".
I think we need to have a bit of understanding here. They've been in total football mode for months. They're break is basically a week. Of course they will want to unwind with a few beers and spend some time with their friends from outside their football bubble.
It's also pretty stupid that people are immediately clamouring to have him stripped of the captaincy without having a clue what happened. Maguire seems like a pretty sensible lad to me. If he's a good captain I wouldn't go changing that over some incident that happened when he was 15 pints in on holiday. That was an average weekend for Roy Keane and it didn't stop him from being a phenomenal captain.
Let's wait and see. It may be absolutely nothing. And it most likely has zero impact on his ability to be the captain of the team.
Fair enough, I'd like to see more of the on pitch stuff, but if he is leading in the dressing room then cool
It's a complete clown show ffs
If not, it should be
Read the thread, and see the general stench of anti-Englishness if you want to start talking about xenophobia.
There's clearly a time and a place and I'd argue strongly that that was exactly the wrong time and place. How do you think that confrontation would help us focus on getting back in the game, 5 minutes left in a semi-final? Lindelof didn't respect his authority either which is indicative of him not holding sufficient respect for the role.
That sounds like you are disqualifying Bruno because he is not English? Being English is not a requirement for a PL team. City has won two PL titles with Silva as their captain
Think the problem with English is that we are not disciplined drinkers. We are used to not going out during the week because of work, then going nuts at the weekend. Then going on holiday, no work, so it is weekend every day. Drinking during the day when it is at it's hottest, so drinking more as you get thirsty quicker, so getting drunker and drunker.
No, but nobody else did anything while we whimpered out of europe. And Fernandes has made more of a difference in half a season than any of the others made in the full season
This was how Auschwitz started, be careful
What a load of bollocks.
Reminder to everyone that Keane got arrested a few days before the FA Cup in 1999. Fergie had to pick him up from the station.

So this doesn't really say anything about Maguire as a footballer. Still a bit disappointing that hes decided to spend time getting pissed up in Greece.
The uncultured swine.

I am actually surprised about it being Harry, like you he always comes across as a pretty level headed lad. We do not know what has been said. As others have said he is not the first United captain to do something daft.
Its a simple concept.
It's a minority of English people. Most English people are decent and behave themselves.
But when looking at rowdy groups on holiday, they do tend to be English more often then not. They've gained a reputation for it. Play offended all you want. Doesn't change it.
There is no such thing as " reverse xenophobia" or "reverse racism". You cant discriminate the majority. That is a myth invented by white supremacists and xenophobes. Your Englishness is not under threat here. Do you also oppose Ole for not being English? Or does the English purism only apply to players?
It clearly is arguable, and a hell of a lot of fans over 40 will say it’s Robbo.
My fecking eyes, what the hell is this.
If he's going to start a fight, then I'd prefer it to be in Tuscany or Bora Bora. I can respect that.
Mate he hit a cop, at least that's what's been reported.
I live in New York, if you or even a NBA Star hit a cop they'd be in an absolute world of trouble.
Still waiting for the standard “Ole’s first real test” post
Ask that Floyd guy about US cops
No one is gauging he’s not made a difference, and his performances have been terrific. Doesn’t suddenly mean he’s 10x the captain that Maguire.
I pleased to have someone with passion in the team, but not sure that shouting at teammates is leadership.
Both Maguire and Bruno have been terrific additions to the club.
In order to pass Ole will have to do exactly as the poster (usually a dimwit) pretend him to.Still waiting for the standard “Ole’s real test” post

Do you expect the Mykonos police to say that they arrested him for doing nothing.?
This is really bad if true. Should probably serve time for this, no? Though I’m sure some brown envelopes might help.
So the police have fabricated the fact he physically assaulted a police officer in order to justify arresting him? Christ. What planet are you on?
Fair enough, I'm too young to comment on Robbo but in the PL era there's surely no contest. Four PL titles, two FA cups and even if he missed that 99 final, he played a big big part in getting us there.
