Harry Maguire whose real name is Jacob Harry Maguire is a professional footballer from the United Kingdom who is currently known to play as a defender for the Premier League Club Manchester United. Harry Maguire who hails from Sheffield, in the United Kingdom, was born on March 5, 1993. The 30-year-old was known to have earmarked through the youth system at Sheffield United before he got promoted to the first team in the year 2011.
Harry Maguire was known to have joined Manchester United in the year July 2019 worth an amount of £70 million.
Within six months of his £80 million move from Leicester, the 30-year-old was first designated as the permanent United captain in 2020 under previous manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
However, Maguire lost his spot in United’s regular starting lineup during Erik Ten Hag’s first campaign, and his future at Old Trafford is questionable. At center back, Victor Lindelof and even Luke Shaw have been chosen over Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane.
Erik Ten Hag’s Decision.
According to 90 Minutes, Maguire explained how he was invited by the United boss and told to relieve himself of the captaincy role.
“After discussions with the manager today he has informed me he is changing captain. He outlined his reasons to me and whilst I’m personally extremely disappointed, I will continue to give my all every time I wear the shirt.”
“So I wanted to say a massive thank you to the Manchester United fans for all their brilliant support whilst I’ve been wearing the armband.”
“Since the day I took on the role, three and half years ago, it’s been a huge privilege to lead Manchester United and one of the proudest moments of my career to date. It’s one of the greatest honors in club football. I’ve done everything I possibly could to help United be successful – on and off the field.”
