Said it a long time ago... Maguires biggest problem is his mental ego. When he was captain he kept refering to it in various press conferences as well as the fact that he wasn't being dropped rather than admitting that he had played poorly. Ten hag came through and made it clear after 2 games that Maguire wasn't going to start for him. Maguire on his end firmly believed that the problem was lisandro Martinez or de gea...never him
This summer, it was reported that Maguire himself considered the initial 20m bid by westham to be too low. Think about that for a second, the player and not the club believed the bid was too low. Maguire is among the few players to actually get hyped over the price manutd paid for him. He actually thinks he is an 80m pound player whether or not he plays well
For me there is little surprise that he looks down on a 30m westham bid... people just don't understand it but Maguires real problem is the ego. This dude didn't even really care about being dropped until ten hag took the captaincy off him. Once again, it was the first time for me to see a player make a statement about losing the captaincy like it was a big surprise.
Don't be surprised if he is okay sitting there and being 4th or 5th choice until his contract runs out. Phil Jones taught him well and many have said it before....ole did wayyy more damage to the club than we will ever know. A player like Phil Jones should have been released eons ago inorder to discourage such behaviour but instead we rewarded it. Maguire is just the next Phil Jones
