I wouldn’t have done it if I were Maguire, just let Bruno lift the cup, but that’s me.
However, in my opinion, he deserves some praise for his mental strength.
He’s played well for England in the world cup, and bar a couple of hospital passes against Leeds he’s played well for us too this season, he got on with his job and did whatever the manager asked him to do well enough.
Even when he was asked to see out a win in the 88th minute, he got on with it.
The guy literally turned into a meme last season, even people who weren’t football fans knew who Maguire was at that point.
I mean, Joe Gomez has been absolutely shocking this season, miles worse than Maguire has ever been, his “performances” against Napoli and Madrid were the worst defensive displays I had ever seen at this level, but fortunately for him he didn’t cost 80m and isn’t the captain of one of the biggest clubs in the world.
I don’t know how I would’ve handled it, multi millionaire or not, I probably would’ve snapped, so credit to him for keeping his head and maintaining professionalism.
He probably won’t be here next season, but glad he managed to win a trophy as a Manchester United player.
