He was, he also sold air conditioners.That man must have been a couples counsellor.
Id say you’re more like Harry Maguire in 2020Everyone's attacking me, I feel just like David Beckham in 1998
It’s bizarre. He’s clearly a guy who is struggling. Imagine the absolute shit he sees day in and day out on his social media’s tooThe hate on this forum towards our own players is something else.
Good comparison, I agree entirely. Confidence is so important in football.Sadly, I think you might be right. So much of sport is about confidence and if gets hit hard enough to shatter, not many players can piece it back together.
It many ways it's the opposite of Van Djik. He's a great defender obviously, but his initial form at Liverpool kind of mothballed into an invincible shield.
World Cup and a glorified friendly. Totally different situations mate.After the world Cup David Beckham was public enemy no.1 because of the media.
Now Maguire could find himself in a similar position.
Beckham was backed by United fans and the club and bounced back and repair his reputation.
Now Maguire is down in the dumps, has a funny shaped head and is playing awfully.
Is it fair to say he's in a similar position and is there any hope for him?
Social media is full of scumbags unfortunately.The hate on this forum towards our own players is something else.
That's fair enough, but Beckham was painted as the downfall of the national team. No one has painted Maguire in that light or anything close to it.Tbf when Beckham kicked Someone it was a bit "his own" doing too.
Let s not forget that Beckham and Maguire are humans and humans committ errors too.
And if we want to help him get back on track, us United fans should United and support him. And not celebrating his errors like ABUs are doing
This. It's a disgrace. We have some vile fans who should go and support someone else.The hate on this forum towards our own players is something else.
True. It s a useless tournament but media will still create some fussThat's fair enough, but Beckham was painted as the downfall of the national team. No one has painted Maguire in that light or anything close to it.
No because Beckham was actually a really good player.
Only similarity is he got sent off. Nowhere near the hate Beckham got as he was blamed for us being out of a world cup, not essentially a friendly tournament that is meaningless. Also Beckham was the darling of the media and doesnt have a funny shaped head.....though why you are even mentioning that makes your post to start a thread even more diabolicalAfter the world Cup David Beckham was public enemy no.1 because of the media.

It’s disgusting.The hate on this forum towards our own players is something else.
Just like this place hated on Beckham in 1998The hate on this forum towards our own players is something else.
Agree mate. @horsechoker you are laughable and stop creating reactionary threads.This thread is a bit laughable. Beckham had rival fans hanging effigies of his family. Maguire has had nothing but sympathy from both United and England supporters.
If Maguire had Beckham's mentality he'd be putting in 9/10s every week. He deserves sympathy but he's not the first lad to get into bother abroad.
If he needs a break cos it's too much for him, fine. Let's not be comparing apples and pears though.
Couldn't resist an opportunity to stick the knife in.Agree mate. @horsechoker you are laughable and stop creating reactionary threads.
Yeah, but logic doesn’t get in the way of @horsechoker creating stupid threads.Apart from the fact they're both United players that got sent off in an international game, there's no correlation whatsever.
Should have joined my team, when I told you to. Now I am going to milk this and turn everyone against you.Couldn't resist an opportunity to stick the knife in.
cost me £2 !and mine the cnut!!
Exactly. I also don't expect Real to come sniffing around MaguireBig difference between a World Cup quarter final v Argentina and a Nations League game v Denmark.
Maguire isn't public enemy number one. He's a laughing stock and a another stick to poke United with.
Not my opinions by the way. Just the way he's treated by opposition fans.
I see this word 'hate' being thrown around on here, but are you sure you are not reading that into comments yourself?Nope because the hate that Maguire receives is from his club's own fans.
The proverb goes, “You can take a donkey to the river, but you can’t force it to drink water”. As human fans with human emotions, we continue to support the club and its players. If we don’t laugh at least a little bit, we’d be crying at this point. We don’t actually kick the ball on the pitch for them, so when will Maguire and co. begin to do their part?Tbf when Beckham kicked Someone it was a bit "his own" doing too.
Let s not forget that Beckham and Maguire are humans and humans committ errors too.
And if we want to help him get back on track, us United fans should United and support him. And not celebrating his errors like ABUs are doing
