Maybe there is a separate reason why Erik Ten Hag removed Maguire's Captaincy, because if you have watched several Manchester United matches last season when Maguire was installed by Erik Ten Hag at the bottom line, maybe you will also know why Erik Ten Hag removed Maguire's Captaincy. And from rumors circulating that West Ham is interested in Maguire and has also made an offer to Manchester United.
Harry Maguire wasn’t the best fit to lead the team and Ten Hag felt so too. He has been inconsistent in his performances and didn’t really look like someone capable of leading the team. He seemed to me like someone that could get unsure of his actions and that could make blunders on the field. If a player cannot display some sort of confidence in himself, how then could he make other players in the squad feel confident enough to play and win games against the toughest opponents.
It didn’t come as a surprise when he was removed from being the captain of the team and it certainly would not surprise me if he’s actually being let go from the team.
