Ten Hag supports Maguire
Erik ten Hag is adamant that he has faith in Manchester United captain Harry Maguire and is confident that the center-back will make a full recovery from his extended illness. ten Hag made these statements.
Because of his poor play over the past year and a half, Maguire was replaced by Raphael Varane in the Manchester United starting lineup in August. Since then, Maguire has only started one of the last six games.
The 29-year-old defender had a rough night for England during their 3-3 draw with Germany at Wembley on Monday night. He gave up a penalty and was dispossessed during the counterattack that led to Kai Havertz's goal, both of which contributed to England's poor performance.
Even though Maguire was injured and had to finish the game despite the pain, he will not be able to play in the Manchester derby on Sunday, but Ten Hag's press conference was still dominated by his struggles.
Ten Hag stated, "First and foremost, of course I have to coach him, and I have to back him; however, the reason I back him is because I believe in him." "During the time that I worked with him, preseason was good, it was really good, training and games, so then he fell out of favor, but it's also due to the strong performances of the center backs who are playing now.
"But I can see the qualities, and even after he wasn't in the team, he trained really well, and more importantly, the quality was really there." "But I can see the qualities, and even after he wasn't in the team, he trained really well." You look at his career and see that he has almost 50 caps for England, is doing really well for Leicester, and is doing really well for Man United; what you see is high potential.
The players in the locker room, the coaches, and the manager all have faith in him. It all comes down to him. That is exactly what I said to him, and I'm confident that not only can he pull it off, but that he will. I'm absolutely certain of that.
According to a report that was released in August, Harry Maguire is the Premier League footballer who receives the most abuse on Twitter. Additionally, a sizable portion of the online supporter base for Manchester United has railed against his prominence as a starter and United captain.
During and after England's match with Germany, the most popular topic of conversation was Harry Maguire, who also abruptly claimed the previous week that he is written about so extensively "for clicks."
When asked about the issue of abuse on social media, Ten Hag stated, "It's an aspect of football and of our work." "We have established the conditions for that, and we also have specialists on hand to assist, to guide the players and the team in the appropriate path.
