Personally I have said Maguire has the wrong mentality since his days under Ole and Ole made it worse by giving him the captaincy. Maguire is the mercenary people think Pogba was. Maguire from the beginning has shown in several interviews that it doesnt matter how manutd are doing, what matters is he keeps playing. Last season, this dude said that the fact that he was being selected by different managers was proof that he is world class. He said this despite the fact that he was giving away goals in the defence and overall being the mctominay of the back 4. When he has the ball, there is worry....when he is defending one vs one, he basically a cone. Well this season he has been dropped but guess what, in his mind, its not becoz he isnt world class. This season Ten hag gave him an emphatic answer. I knew that if ten hag depended on maguire, he would get fired eventually.
When he got arrested in greece or wherever he had gone on holiday, this dude decided to point to his captaincy as something to lend weight to his words. Even up to now, he points out that he is captain in every single interview. This fact alone is the proof of the inferiority complex going on in his mind. Maguire is a terrible player to keep in the squad.
If the fan base revolted against pogba, Henderson (GK) and lingard, there is no way we should want a worse player like maguire. These average players come and all they do is complain about why they dont play or why the club isnt on tiktok etc. Instead of just fixing the weaknesses in their game. I respect someone like AWB way more than maguire...AWB has never complained about the abuse he gets or the lack of game time. He just went and put in performances on the training ground. He does his talking on the training ground. Maguire is always defending himself or pointing out other players to take the blame even when its clear he is captain and has to shoulder the blame. This dude hides from postmatch interviews when there is a bad performance.
I actually think that just playing the right players in the starting eleven is ten hags biggest achievement this season. Forget about the trophies and the style of play etc, just playing the players who deserve to be playing is Ten Hags biggest achievement this season. How many times have fans pointed out how bad maguire, mctominay, fred and lindeloff have been. I actually think ole and ragnick failed for this exact reason...they were loyal to terrible players who put in shockingly bad performances one week and then got selected the next week.
