Болельщики «Манчестер Юнайтед» и сборной Англии позорно обошлись с Гарри Магуайром, считает бывший полузащитник «Ливерпуля» Джейми Реднапп.
Maguire lost his place at United under Erik ten Hag last season and has featured sparingly for the Red Devils this term too, but he is back in favour at Old Trafford and was named Player of the Match in Saturday evening's 2-1 win at Sheffield United.
Во время своего отсутствия в команде бывший центральный защитник «Лестер Сити» подвергался насмешкам со стороны болельщиков, а также средств массовой информации, причем некоторые обращения были особенно жестокими.
“As a professional, I think he's been treated disgracefully by football fans.” Redknapp said on Sky Sports after the game in their coverage of Saturday's премьер Лига столкновение на Брэмолл-лейн.
“Everywhere he's gone, his own fans, England fans, he's been ridiculed and it's not fair. The guy has shown today he's an important player. Of course, he's made mistakes, everyone makes mistakes, but I look at some of the other players who play for United and make mistakes and they don't get a quarter of the stick he gets.
“But if Harry Maguire does it it becomes a meme, and everyone starts talking about it. It's completely unfair and you can see when he plays, he does make a difference.”
Магуайра связывали с январским переездом в «Вест Хэм», но теперь он, похоже, останется на «Олд Траффорд», и после субботней игры Тен Хаг похвалил его.
“Do I think he's the answer long-term for Man Utd? I genuinely don't,” Redknapp said.
“He's been in great form of late, but I think he may have to make his way somewhere else. But still, for whatever reason he doesn't deserve the criticism he gets. It's been massively below the belt and disgraceful at times.”
