Maguire’s Humble Reaction to Captaincy Change…
Harry Maguire has revealed his mixed emotions upon losing the Manchester United captaincy, yet he was as joyful as a seagull with a stolen sandwich when Bruno Fernandes took the helm. Captain since January 2020, Maguire experienced a rollercoaster leadership that ended in 2023, when Erik ten Hag handed the armband to Fernandes. Despite Maguire’s disappointment, he pledged unwavering support for his new captain. Reflecting on his time as captain, Maguire shared how Fernandes and fellow teammates like de Gea were always there, much like a superhero team backing him up.
Maguire also shared a candid account of his chat with Ten Hag about the change. He admitted it was as “sticky” as trying to remove bubble gum from hair. Erik believed Bruno to be a natural leader, and Maguire didn’t hesitate to back the decision. Fernandes, a fantastic player and selfless leader, now spearheads United, whose new season kicks off against Arsenal. With Ruben Amorim focusing on attack with new signings, Maguire is ready to tussle for a spot in a crowded defense roster, hoping to outshine his teammates like a peacock in a chicken coop.
