  1. If the criticism went skyhigh. Blame the media if anyone, every interview that has nothing to do with the 5th defender of ManU he is mentioned for a year and a half now. You can not watch an interview, new players presented. Things going on in the club. Clubsales you name it. There is always that one slapstick.. Erik.. about Harry Maguire.. I never seen a favoritism of this form in any country in my 45 years watching the game ever. It is disgusting. Even when big stars are benched they simmer down after a while. And England HAS better defenders then Harry. Don't raise your hands and question why he is in the middle of the scope and kicked down. YOU the media are to blame here. YOU systematicly put him there. Plus greedy Harry could have played weekly under Moyes right now. He decided to stay at the bench at Utd for the money. I'm not even a UTD supporter and I hope he rots at the bemch over there.

  2. The only thing ridiculous is the england manager picking a 5 th center back. Do people actually watch Maguire? Slow, clumsy, and throws at least 2 huge mistakes a game

  3. he can handle the heat and then goes on to score more own goals, its clear he can not handle any pressure in any way possible. not even the tiny bit pressure

  4. Ale tells an hour long story and after the first minute everyone already new exactly what he was gonna say. he is just a waste of oxygen.

  5. Someone on ESPN needs to watch United games whenever Maguire is playing.

    What should be focused on is why other players are not getting opportunities. Why? England doesn't have anyone to replace him. England's back line will not win them anything, hence why, Maguire gets the start.

    – Life long United fan.

  6. He’s an easy target but Henderson starting, these decisions made by southgate needs to go & I’m not an England fan, just like the US triple G needs to go, their like twins in coaching strategy/ calling in playing favorites etc.

  7. Harry Maguire has never been booed by United fans at Old Trafford.
    He was only booed by United fans at 2 pre season friendlies in the US and Ireland.
    Just another false anti United narrative being spun by the lying media

  8. Too far, nope, not even close, not saying it is right either, I have seen some disgusting behaviour from fans towards players, David Beckham comes to mind, what Harry is going through is not even remotely close so can we stop with this nonsense.

  9. Yes, "'Harry Maguire was part of the team that was in Euro finals and World cup Semi finals'
    Also, 'Harry Maguire was part of the team with brilliant players, that could have but didn't win a European trophy and crashed out of Worldcup final's

  10. He’s got himself to blame for being arrogant for not taking any blame and being delusional and cocky to not move away from Man U to revamp his career. He’s got to hear the fans!!

  11. It's kinda true, not his fault he's still called up, the ones to blame are the managers who still play him. He shouldn't be bullied , he's a human being.
    Nevertheless he is not a player that any UCL winning manager would pick for obvious reasons but he's good enough for Man U bench.

  12. Southgate needs to go. And maguire needs to put up with online heat after his last few years. Also getting around £15-20million a year to play that way lol😂

  13. Harry's the drizzling shits. A clear case of having a wealthy family who could get him to this level. But sadly money can't buy natural talent. He's not a premiership player at all

  14. It is not 2018 ffs! Stop picking Hendo, Maguire, Phillips- that’s what’s ridiculous
    Maguire should have gone to west ham – he stayed for the money – doesn’t play so shouldn’t play for England
    For once I agree with Stevie- thought it would never happen!

  15. Not good for us that Maguire has to play at CB. Lacking there if we need to play a player who never plays in the prem.
    Dont understand it? He's terrible. The next Phil Jones.

  16. Remind me, who scored for Scotland?
    Joe Gomez gets it at Liverpool, which considering he played in the only game we kept a clean sheet in so far, this season… I would have Joe in the team over Maguire all day, every day.
    Not saying Gomez should be playing for England, but there are plenty of other English CBs who should be ahead of Slabhead.

  17. Yes, it's just bullying now. Every comment wanker literally says the same joke over and over again in every comment section. It's funny the first time, not the millionth time dickheads..
