Maguire tried to give his best performance and took advantage of the opportunities available very well, perhaps it would not be wrong to say that he was burdened with the captain armband on his arm all this time, so that when he was no longer given responsibility, Maguire managed to answer Ten Hag trust well. Indeed, this is not a coincidence but the result of his hard work, I have to admit that he has a mentality above the average of other players, his decision to stay at Old Trafford is slowly becoming the right decision.
I agree with you there is no more “comedy” no more “banter” towards Maguire, he managed to save his career from decline. Maybe now Ten Hag regrets and should apologize to Maguire, after pushed him to leave the club and move to West Ham at the end of the transfer window last summer. It has been proven that Maguire can now provide benefits and contributions to United, hopefully in the future he will avoid fatal blunders.
Yes, he previously often made blunders which resulted in maguire becoming the target of ridicule by fans when manchester united lost the match they played. But apart from that, Maguire has made it clear that He wants to work hard and will be ready to try to get his main place back and the opportunity given by erik ten hag can be utilized as best as possible to improve his performance on the field.
Becoming POTM in the match against sheffield is proof that He is truly capable of changing well with the hard work He does. He was able to defend the defense well in that match and that is what the fans want right now. So, if maguire is able to maintain his best performance, maybe He will easily win back the hearts of manchester united fans.
