Harry Maguire, the central defender and former captain of Manchester United, has faced criticism after scoring an own goal in a recent match for the England national team against Scotland. Despite efforts by England manager Gareth Southgate and others to defend him, Maguire has been under the spotlight for his performance.
Maguire's mother expressed her frustration on Instagram regarding the negative comments and bullying messages her son has received. She emphasized that such negative and bullying comments are unacceptable, especially for someone who gives their all for the club and country. She also called for an end to this kind of behavior and expressed appreciation for her son's strength and resilience.
However, not everyone responded positively to this show of support. Some fans questioned whether Maguire should be shielded from criticism, especially considering his decision to stay at Manchester United instead of transferring to another club. Mark Goldbridge, a prominent Manchester United fan channel host on Twitter with over 2.2 million followers, responded to Maguire's mother's comments by arguing that football is a competitive sport, and players should be open to criticism and evaluation.
Goldbridge emphasized that football is about competition and should be open to criticism and evaluation. He pointed out that working hard is not enough in a club like Manchester United, and sympathy alone won't change that. He also highlighted that while bullying exists in football, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Goldbridge believed that Maguire's performance did not warrant a place in the England national team and that he stayed at Manchester United for monetary reasons.
Goldbridge argued that Maguire's selection for the England national team was questionable, especially given that he had limited playing time at Manchester United. He also mentioned that Ben White was mistreated by England manager Gareth Southgate but did not have his mother issue a statement in response. Goldbridge concluded that Maguire was not being subjected to bullying but was instead receiving attention and criticism due to his privileged position.
In summary, Harry Maguire's recent performance and the subsequent criticism have sparked a debate among football fans, with some believing that criticism and evaluation are essential in the world of football, while others argue that players should be shielded from negative comments and bullying. |
