Manchester United player Harry Maguire has been out of favor with the fans for quite some time now. Moreover, his embarrassing mistakes during crucial times do very little to change the fan’s perspective of him.
The player’s mistakes are so often that fans have even made a one-minute compilation video of Maguire‘s embarrassing moments on the pitch. The video shows how the player has been doing more harm to the team with his bizarre faults.
Half of the video consists of Harry Maguire injuring his teammates accidentally. While the other half of the video consists of him taking too long to make his decision on the ball, thus allowing his opponent to take the ball away from him.

His inability to hold the ball usually gives way to a perfect counterattack from the opponents. Maguire’s former teammate David de Gea was often found shouting at the former captain for his mistakes during the game.
In a recent match against Athletic Bilbao, Maguire was seen repeating his mistakes, thus, allowing them to take a lead ahead of the English team. The fans present expressed their disappointment by booing the defender’s every touch of the ball for the rest of the match.

As per The Athletic, West Ham has agreed in principle with Manchester United for Harry Maguire. Furthermore, personal terms are expected to be discussed soon with the player.
The Red Devils signed Maguire from Leicester City for a record-breaking package of $101.9 million in 2019. However, the English player failed to live up to the expectations and was often criticized by the fans.
Furthermore, with the arrival of Erik ten Hag, Maguire not only lost his starting position in the squad but also his captaincy. He is currently behind Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane in the pecking order at Old Trafford.
Maguire had recently expressed his wish to stay at United to fight for his place in the squad. However, as things stand, he is set to join David Moyes’ squad for a new challenge in his career.
