Harry Maguire has received real messages from Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag, but stating something is one thing, and acting on it or not is another.

Due to the England midfielder’s wage dispute, the £30 million move of Harry Maguire from Manchester United to West Ham has been declared a failure. According to reports, Maguire wants to continue fighting in order to get back into Erik Ten Hag’s team.

Erik ten Hag expressed his happiness that Harry Maguire chose to remain at Manchester United, but he also cautioned the English defender that he must establish his worthiness for a spot in the team’s starting lineup.

Harry Maguire abruptly declined the chance to leave Manchester United and join West Ham after the two clubs agreed to a fee of £30 million. Maguire still thinks he has a future at Old Trafford despite the fact that his salary situation has been pointed out as a move impediment.Maguire was stripped of the MU captaincy by Ten HagLast month, coach Ten Hag relieved Harry Maguire of his duties as MU captain and replaced him with Bruno Fernandes. Maguire is only placed fifth in the middle of the MU defense’s priority position, after only Luke Shaw, who has a penchant for kicking left-back, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, and Victor Lindelof. When United makes a comeback to the Champions League this season, Ten Hag wants two elite players for every position.Ten Hag claims that Manchester United needs Maguire.Erik Ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, said: “I’m glad Harry Maguire is here. A strong team is required. Actually, we have five solid center backs on our team, including Luke Shaw. We also require that. We’ll play 50–60 games this season, so that’s why.

We have a lot of work to do because all the players are international, but I’m delighted Harry Maguire is here. We’ve assembled a roster with two players at every position because we need it, so Maguire must compete for his spot just like the rest of the team.

Only 16 of Harry Maguire’s 31 appearances last season, or exactly half of MU’s 62 games in all competitions, were starts. If Maguire stays on the bench at MU this season, his spot in the England squad for Euro 2024 is now seriously in jeopardy.

Erik Ten Hag responded, “It depends on Harry Maguire, what he wants to do out of his time at United. Maguire is aware of my expectations on him. I’ve been here a year now. You are aware of the standards I have for a center-back, and he meets them.

Harry Maguire has the capacity to accomplish it, as I have stated often; he just needs to demonstrate it. Then it comes down to character; Maguire has the capacity to persuade himself that he can contribute to the squad, and it will be up to him if given the opportunity to play.

Due to Maguire’s decision to stay, MU will no longer be searching for a new center-back in the summer transfer market, but Ten Hag does not rule out the possibility of the “reds” bringing in new players to fill other positions. Just two weeks remain till the sale.

Erik ten Hag, the head coach at MU, continued, “Our team has been’sealed,’ and all positions are’sealed. We are Manchester United, after all, and we are constantly striving for perfection. We will ‘attack’ (the transfer market) in the upcoming two weeks as soon as the chance presents itself.Ten Hag left Maguire out of the MU team to face Tottenham despite his claims that he was glad that he remained.

After returning to Old Trafford on a temporary agreement till the end of this month, former Leicester City defender Jonny Evans is still in contract extension talks with Manchester United. Ten Hag reportedly wants to work with Evans for a single year.

At 23:30 tonight, August 19, MU will travel to London to take on Tottenham in the second round of the Premier League. Notably, Ten Hag pulled Maguire’s name from the MU squad for the showdown with Tottenham despite giving the player numerous words of encouragement in front of the media when he believed in the player’s talent and was pleased that he stayed. Evidently, Ten Hag’s commentary on Maguire is one thing, but actually acting upon and caring for Maguire is quite another.

Last season, MU had a terrible record when playing away from home. Last year, MU only managed one point versus Spurs away from home. MU lost 7 away games versus Manchester City, Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool, Brighton, Aston Villa, and Brentford among the top 9 Premier League clubs last season (including MU).

One of MU’s season-long objectives, according to head coach Erik Ten Hag, is to raise our performance level in away games in order to accrue more points. Usually, personality is involved. That is my request to the players: “In order to win games like that, we need to display more personality on the field.”
