Over the past year or so I’ve felt a bit sorry for Maguire, he clearly can’t handle the pressure of playing for United, let alone the captaincy and the price tag clearly weighs heavy.
He’s been approaching not quite Phil Jones level of meme but he’s on that trajectory.
The Greece thing was also a bit grim, and regardless of how culpable he was it sounded horrible and he was clearly shook by it.
He’s also been undermined (as well as seemingly dislikes) by a significant chunk of his dressing room, the players led by Ronaldo going to Rangnick and excluding him was really out of order.
I also think he’s a way better player than given credit for, he most likely just needs a fresh start elsewhere and to step out of the red hot United limelight and get back to delivering solid performances.
With leaks like these recent ones though he can get fecked. He clearly has a huge eho on him and is delusional. I’m not too bothered about the De Gea criticism (I don’t think he’s wrong, he just shouldn’t be leaking it) but the comment about City/Dias shows there is no saving this guy.
He pissed me off equally with the stupid celebration against Albania, coming during the middle of a crisis for United and he was playing shit, but have since put that down to him just being gormless.
These leaks though suggest maybe there is a sneakier, ego-driven element at play.
