After being close to West Ham in the end he wanted to be at Man United even though it wasn't a priority anymore, maybe he realized what happened to him so Ten Hag gave him an ultimatum about the main squad not being him anymore, but as long as he was at Man United I think it didn't change at all.

As long as he contributes and continues to make blunders then others will consider it a bad thing including Ten Hag who has judged him, so as long as Maguire is at Man United it will be considered a burden by his fans.
Maguire will only play in a few minutes of time maybe when Man United is sure to win he will enter the field.

Truly I recall the partnership between Harry Maguire and Wes Morgan at Leceister City then it was a superb combination with Maguire very solid at the back his consistency at their centre back prompted Man Utd to sign him in a deal worth £80m, unfortunately his performance since he joined Man Utd had been error prone and absolutely dismal probably it might be due to much pressure on him while playing for a big club like Man Utd and to make matter worse for him Harry Maguire was handed the captain band last two seasons ago, maybe if given more playing time this season he may up his game without the captainship band and paired with Varane or Martinez.

That's also a good point^^ . It's a tough one to say but given how they performed in last season I feel they can win easy matches like this. Of course, Mitrovic is not around but they still have signed Jimenez who can score good amount of goals for Fulham. Yes Luton will  be desperate to have some points but I don't think Fulham is the team they are gonna find it easy to get points. I still think Fulham is gonna win here and give a strong performance against Luton.

when the promoted team does not have the financial strength to prepare to compete with other strong teams in the Premier League, of course, the promoted team will experience difficulties.
If they have strong enough funds, they can buy new players to strengthen the team so they can at least survive their first season of promotion. In season two they should do it better.
but if the promoted team does not have good finances, with as few players as they are it will be challenging to compete with rich teams and more players with good quality players.

Manchester City is the best team I have ever seen in the Premier League. Since this team held the Premier League title last season, there is a lot of confidence among the players of the team that they will do something amazing this time, but also other teams have improved themselves tremendously in this league.

You're right, and for every club that has entered the Premier League, especially promoted clubs, it is thirsty to get used to a great style of play, they will learn a lot so they don't seem surprised when they face opponents. There are still many clubs out there who have been trying to enter the Premier League for years but have not been able to achieve it. When the opportunity arrives, the real struggle begins. Showing whether or not it is worthy of being equal to a big club is certainly not bought cheap, cheap here what I mean is hard work both energy, money and daring to challenge every player against star players.

Haha, they hope this promotion team can be like Leicester City who made history come as a beginner and leave as a champion obviously this is a rare moment even in the next 10-20 years there won't necessarily be a promotional team that will be able to do it. As you said staying in the Premier League in the next season is a great achievement then in the 2nd season they were able to attract the attention of sponsors sufficient funding can increase the strength of the team by bringing in new players or take advantage of academy players like Fulham did, Fulham comes to the Premier League in the 2022/2023 season so far they are still in the middle of the standings.

He has made a decision (to stay at Man United) which means he is ready for the other pressures he will most likely face. Maguire certainly knows very well that there is no guarantee that he will be the first choice because Ten Hag clearly stated that he had to fight for that position. So I admit that Maguire has a very strong mentality.

If we look at his performance and his contribution so far, it would be quite tough for him to compete for a spot in the first team. I think the only chance for him is when Varane, Martinez and Luke Shaw are all injured because there is no alternative other than himself and Jonny Evans who I don't think is better than Maguire.

Every EPL clubs have their problems to deal with and we just clearly know the Red Devils challenges and weaknesses. Erik Ten Hag have a way to handle things in Old Trafford but there's reasons that he's relenting in his duties as headcoach, watching defenders doing crucial costly blunders, and failing to sign backup replacements for them when he had the chance in the transfer window that just closed. Instead he signed new frontlines and forger totally that he needs new sets of defenders that would be able to interchangeably pair with the former ones. Harry Maguire is the problematic instrument at the backlines of Manchester United. Maguire made countless fatal mistakes that cost the club's conceding unnecessary goals which was really bad for the team's reputation and statistics. 

It doesn't seem to be something strange anymore when the promotion team can't play well, and or can't get good results in the Premier League. Because anyway, cases like this also at least happen almost in all major leagues in Europe so yes, I think it remains a natural result when the promotion team cannot play well here. But even so, at least with the promotion team can stay in the Premier League longer or not quickly relegated back. Then of course, with them being able to last longer here of course it has been a big achievement for them.

At some point, I wondered what was wrong with Maguie He was better than this, so I wondered what had happened to him that he had become an unbearable situation that the club could not bear with after so many disappointments coming from Maguire, and the mistake of Maguire cost the club a lot and the problem now is that nobody wants to buy the player the only thing that is best for him now is to retire, if am not mistaking last season it got to the point Maguire was used for laughter for both the commentators and every other person because once Maguire is mentioned then there is trouble or he has already fucked up.

If the allegations made against Antony are proved then Antony's football career will be over. I have seen many talented players who have ruined their careers due to women scandals, hope this will not be the case with Antony. Antony is still a young footballer so he still has a lot to achieve from football, if he takes such a blow at the peak of his career, it will be much more difficult for him to turn around later. He has already been temporarily suspended from the Brazil team, if the allegations are proven, he may be suspended from Manchester United and he may be brought under the law, I hope the allegations of this talented player will not be proven. Even if this charge against Antony is not proven, Antony will have to be more careful not to be accused of such a second time.

It wasn't just Ten Hag who kept him at the club after he was appointed coach, but previous coaches did the same, Ralf Rangnick for example. Even the previous coach played him as a player who was always in the starting line-up, and I think that at ETH he was not given much playing time, because at the same time ETH found 2 new players and managed to play well when played together. As for Maguire playing he only fills the empty spot if the main player cannot be played.



I understand this, that every player cannot be said to have never made a mistake, be it something natural or fatal at the same time. But the problem here is that when a player makes the same mistake over and over again, there is a lot of doubt and criticism directed at him and that's what Maguire got for his repeated mistakes, and that's a fatal mistake too.

I have to say that there is a difference in the performance of this one player when playing at the club and when playing for his country, and in his country everything seems to be fine and I don't know why that is.

Maguire is a great player despite his silly errors that put united in a defeat zone in some games but the disrespect he receives from both the fans and the club is not worth it. No player would be happy to make such mistakes and Maguire is not an exception. It has never been his intention to hurt Man united and it's fans with those own goals and he feels remorse when it occurs. I'm not a Man united fan for now but truth be told, the treatment been given to Maguire is very unfair.

Getting him rid of captainship is not the best to do and that will not change anything. He needs the support of team and fans to build the confidence in himself and become a better player he used to be. Glad that the deal was not successful else it would have been a betrayal from the team and any other person that is happy with his departure in this manner.

Yes, Maguire has good principles about him, but he would rather leave than help a team that doesn't want him.
Manchester United will never be a good home for Maguire, he will continue to be insulted and insulted when his team loses especially when he gets a chance to play. It makes no sense to stay at a club like that because people no longer respect his contribution over the years.

I know he wants to prove his capacity and ability at Manchester United and ignore all the insults, but I think that will never be good for the player's psychology. Maguire will continue to be on the bench should Ten Hag have other options, meaning he would really be a last resort instead of sealing a place in the main squad.

I quite agree with all that you have said, indeed , winning equals motivation to win even more, I have experienced this in my business on several occasions where the day I am able to make a lot of money in profit, I am always eager to leave the house the next day to return to the same business, but any day end up with a loss, and the next day, I still make a loss, on the third day, I will be very discouraged and tired to even get up from the bed in the morning, not to talk of preparing to return to the business, I believe it's just one of the ways humans brains are programed ..

We could also draw an example from Arsenal's performance in the EPL last season, when they made their way to the top by beating several of their opponent, they were really charged and motivated to keep going, until they lost one match, drew the next one, lost another , then their motivation began to drop and before we all knew it, winning any match become a big problem for them, at the end, they lost their first position to Manchester city.

Westham is indeed performance really well this season , being in the top 4 already with 10 points is not an easy feet, they seem to be doing even better than Arsenal which is one of the clubs we are comparing to be the major contender to Manchester city, the westham game coming up against Manchester city on the 16th, I believe should not slow them down, even if they end up losing which I believe it likely though, but then, losing that point should not deter them from continuously working hard to make sure their performance this season is significantly better than their performance last season, atleast, that is what we refer to as growth , improvement .

What's the difference brought to the table by Harry Maguire and the Glazers. No much difference, all they bring to the table and club is disaster. This are both problems of the club and they must do everything to leave the club.
Maguire can never be a Hero, he should do that first by doing a clean job defending. He is a good defender I don't condem him for that but he should not be there because he has not the qualities to be there defending. Harry Maguire can only make the Man United grow when he takes his decisions to leave fighting for his place his useless.

He is also a hero for the opposing teams. Imagine the fans of rivals are even cheering for Maguire when he comes on as a starter or a substitute because they know the chances of winning against MU is higher if he's the defender. That's something else.

You are very correct. It is a joke to read but it is so true. Harry Maguire has already made some landmark for Manchester United and not necessarily good ones, but it has made him and the club become a laughing stock.
It is not that on a good day Harry Maguire cannot play a good football, but the chemistry between him and the team. The Coach and the goalkeeper is not working. There is no bond, there is no control and there is no flow of information.
This does not mean that Harry Maguire is not a good defender. If you take out your time to watch him under Southgate playing for England. You will understand that he is good in England national team than in Manchester United. This is a clear indication that He needs another club to try his luck and his career might turn to be a good one again, but I guess he is afraid to make that big move now that his confidence seems diminishing.

Manchester United supporters will always remember that bitter thing because the mistakes made by Harry Maguire who played at the back last season were not only fatal, but also very painful for the supporters of the Manchester United team themselves. Because without Harry Maguire making fatal mistakes at the back, perhaps Manchester United would not have lost, but it is something that has happened and will always be painful to remember every time.
