Harry Maguire respond to fans criticism, sets plan to win back spot at Man Utd

The Manchester United and England defender has faced a lot of criticism for his performance in recent years.

He was recently criticised in the Three Lions' recent games against Ukraine and Scotland where he scored an own goal.  

However, he has broken his silence on the recent criticism and is working on getting back to his best for both club and country.

Maguire has said that he has developed a thick skin for criticism and instead of worrying about them, he is working to get back to his best.

Maguire said as reported by the Sun, “We knew it would be hostile against the Scots and in the second half I got most of it. I am happy to go with that, don’t worry.

“They piled pressure on myself. I wouldn’t say I’m used to it but I can deal with it. I would not say I am a person who struggles with pressure mentally.

“I have been through a lot in the last couple of years and I was Manchester United captain for nearly four years.

“It was a huge honour and you take a lot of responsibility and everything that comes with it — and that is a lot of bad as well as good.”

When asked about the constant taunting he receives from rival fans, Maguire grinned and saw the silver lining.

He said, “Well, it pretty much takes the pressure away from my teammates and puts it all on myself.

“It makes them play better, for sure. It is a little bit of banter and it is a hostile environment, coming away to Scotland.”
