Harry Maguire becomes a substitute, Manchester United wins three times

DBasia.news – Erik ten Hag was very brave to make a decision by placing Harry Maguire, the Red Devils captain, as a backup. But as it turned out, it actually made a better performance for Manchester United.

Since joining from Leicester City, Harry Maguire has often been criticized. Maguire is considered not to be able to display performances like at Leicester or the England national team.

The situation was made worse by some of Maguire’s actions which made it easier for the opponent to gain goals. Moreover, he also got the position of captain.

In the first two games this season, Harry Maguire always appeared 90 minutes. As a result, the Red Devils always lose. First, Man United were beaten by Brighton 2-1, then Brentford silenced four goals without reply.

After that, Ten Hag made an overhaul in the back line. He trusted the new player, Lisandro Martinez, to partner Raphael Varane. The result also makes the Red Devils supporters smile.

Without Maguire, Man United recorded three consecutive wins. In fact, two of them ended without conceding.

The only game where David de Gea’s net wobbled was against Liverpool. At that time, Man United won 2-1.

It will be interesting to wait for the next proof if Manchester United’s defense is stronger without the presence of Harry Maguire. Next, Man United will be tested by Arsenal who have so far bulldozed five games with wins.
