Last night (August 6), Manchester United drew Athletic Bilbao 1-1 in the last friendly before the new season. Notably, Harry Maguire again made a serious mistake of passing, leading to the opening goal of the Spanish team. It was not until the end of the match that the “red devils” found an equalizer thanks to Pellistri’s strike.

Harry Maguire has been stripped of the captaincy at Old Trafford and suffered another blow to his hopes of regaining his place next season. The English midfielder was again despised by coach Erik ten Hag in MU’s final pre-season friendly against Athletic Bilbao, the Mirror (England) writes.

Maguire is likely to leave Old Trafford this summer, with West Ham among the clubs interested but a deal has yet to materialize. Maguire is said to be willing to stay and fight for his place but Ten Hag has given another clear signal of his intentions.

Accordingly, the MU first team player participated in the match against Lens at Old Trafford on Saturday. But these players did not feature in the friendly match against Athletic Bilbao in Dublin a day later.

Maguire was among the players who did not appear in the match against Lens but was named in the 2 MU squad against Athletic Bilbao. Although new MU captain Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, Raphael Varane and Casemiro did not play with the Spanish club, Maguire was still not given the captain’s armband by Ten Hag.

Instead, the honor of captaining MU in the match against Athletic Bilbao was given by Ten Hag to reserve goalkeeper Tom Heaton, who made very few appearances in club competitions last season. Ten Hag also offered star players like Donny van de Beek and Victor Lindelof, as well as youngsters Omari Forson and Dan Gore.

The Mirror reports that MU will kick off the Premier League opening match against Wolves at Old Trafford on August 14 and it is likely that former captain Maguire will not be in the “red devils” squad, including reserve.

MU once rejected an offer to buy Maguire from West Ham for £ 20 million. United want around £35m for the defender and West Ham hope that price drops before the summer transfer window closes on September 1.

Everton are also said to be very interested in Maguire but only want a loan deal. They can’t afford Maguire’s £200,000-a-week salary. Maguire released an emotional statement last month, confirming he had been stripped of the MU captaincy.

In a post on his personal social network, Harry Maguire wrote: “After discussing with the manager today, Erik Ten Hag informed me that he will be changing captain. Ten Hag has explained why. myself and while I am personally extremely disappointed, I will continue to give my best every time I play for the club.”

After being stripped of the captaincy by MU, Maguire seemed resigned and no longer had a voice in the team. Rookie Andre Onana once berated Maguire on the field. And now, it is the turn of a young player 12 years younger than Maguire to be harsh with the English midfielder.

Accordingly, in the MU match against Athletic Bilbao, 18-year-old Dan Gore was ready to criticize Maguire right on the field after the midfielder’s failed pass situation. Maguire was booed during the warm-up for the game in Dublin. But many viewers said that Maguire’s worst moment was being scolded by Gore on the pitch.

It is not simply that a young man is confident and strong enough to speak his mind to any colleague, regardless of age or experience. It shows that Maguire is being openly despised by his teammates.

One person on social media commented: “It’s a shame when you are a senior professional player at the club and 29 years old is being yelled at by an 18-year-old. Harry Maguire sucks.”

Another argued: “The fact that an academy player was given the captain’s armband was enough to make Harry Maguire’s captaincy the second biggest mistake in MU’s history, the first being the Glazers. buy MU.” The third confirmed: “Harry Maguire deserves to be booed and criticized”.
