Manchester United’s Harry Maguire Vouches for Ten Hag’s Support Amid Poor Run
Manchester United’s defender, Harry Maguire, has come out to assure that manager Erik ten Hag still enjoys the full support of the dressing room, despite the team’s recent poor form. The English defender made the comments following the Red Devils’ dramatic 3-3 draw with FC Porto in the Europa League on Thursday night.
The match saw United throw away a two-goal lead, sparking fresh speculation about Ten Hag’s future at the club. However, Maguire, who has been with the club for six years, stressed that the manager has the experience and know-how to navigate difficult periods. “When you go through a bad spell, players come under pressure, but also the manager does,” Maguire said in an interview with TNT Sports. “He’s experienced enough, he’s been in the game long enough, he’s been at this club long enough that I’m sure he’s learned how to deal with it. It’s part and parcel of playing for this club or managing this club. It’s part of the privilege that you have.”
The draw with Porto means United have only mustered two points from their two opening Europa League fixtures. The team faces a challenging trip to Aston Villa in just three days’ time, and Maguire will be hoping to inspire a turnaround in fortunes. With the Red Devils struggling for consistency, Maguire’s words of support for Ten Hag will be music to the ears of the manager and the fans. Despite the recent setbacks, Maguire remains confident that United can turn things around and improve their performance.
