A chaseback action, people turn around for a second, Maguire turns around for a year, which is most people's first impression of Maguire. Maguire's aggressive defence always has both opportunities and risks, and finding a reliable partner for the big head has become a big thing that fans have been waiting for since he joined Manchester United. Finally, Varane arrives, the leaker stiffens, and Bailey seems to have finally recovered from being beaten by Ibrahimovic, but Maguire... It doesn't seem to be the same person he was.

On May 12 last year, Manchester United played Leicester City, and many Manchester United fans were impressed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 19-year-old trident, but that game was also the game in which the Manchester United backline lacked Maguire for many years, and finally Manchester United lost to the opponent, announcing that neighborIng city won the title early.
In the last away game against Villa, Maguire struggled to break the penalty and played every minute of all the Premier League games before this game. Meanwhile, Maguire played 38 games in the 2020 Premier League season, playing 3420 minutes, and since joining Manchester United, he has not missed even a minute of the league. Maguire's 80 million worth, every cent is hard-earned money.

Until the 33rd round of Premier League matches with Villa, Maguire played a total of 71 consecutive Premier League games, equaling the record of former Manchester United star Perister, unfortunately, the injured Maguire finally failed to enjoy the record of consecutive appearances in the history of the team.
The story of Maguire's injury retreat is known to everyone: Manchester United lost at the Double Red Club and failed to stop the pace of the opponent's move to the Champions League. The Premier League has been unbeaten in three consecutive rounds, but fortunately Manchester United have already established themselves as league runners-up ahead of schedule. In the Europa League final, Maguire, who was on crutches, watched from the sidelines, and the team regretted losing the championship, and his absence was also a key factor in the team's defeat.
Maguire may not be an extroverted captain, but he is a model for leading by example. He has been an indispensable and important player since joining Manchester United, and the 8,000w England international in the summer window of 2019 is not a premium, at least in terms of performance in that summer and the following season.

After being reimbursed for 71 consecutive games, Maguire returned to the European Championship and made his start with an injury in the final round of the group stage against Scotland.

In the European Cup, the one-eighth knockout round, England vs. Germany, Maguire started and was voted the best player of the game. In the next game, Maguire scored against Ukraine, and in the semi-finals and finals, Maguire also performed well, not only as an indispensable interceptor for the defense, but also as the engine of england's midfield, taking on the responsibility of carrying the ball and launching attacks. In the final match against Italy, Maguire bravely stepped forward as vice-captain to score the second penalty, but in the end he was unfortunately defeated.

There is no doubt that Maguire, who is returning from the line of fire, is a key factor in the final of the unpromising England team. Maguire's comeback even solved the problem of insufficient midfield advancement, and more importantly, England conceded only one goal before reaching the final. Facing Denmark, Dames' powerful free-kick went straight to the goal and Bonucci's corner kick in the final.
England's steel defence only conceded goals from set-pieces at the European Championship.

In the summer window this year, Manchester United signed an experienced champions centre-back from Real Madrid, and coupled with Maguire's outstanding performance in the European Cup, Manchester United fans ushered in a season of confidence. The return of Ronaldo and the addition of Sancho in the front line have given Manchester United the capital to claim champions, but management seems to have ignored the role of the midfield, and the seriously unbalanced and deformed squad structure has become the trigger for Manchester United's poor performance this season.
Cristiano Ronaldo's return did bring a series of chain reactions, the three coaches did not seem to find a reasonable way to use the artifact, Bruno's passive retreat sacrificed his running and plugging ability, but Manchester United still could not build a solid barrier in midfield.
According to the statistics of the top five leagues forward passing, the b fee has fallen to the mid-level level this season
The lack of a real back also led to the rear line being repeatedly attacked by the opponent in the counterattack, which magnified Maguire's weakness: like an aircraft carrier, I did not instigate a frontal confrontation, and I was free to go around behind me.
However, as the captain, Maguire became the initiator of United's decline in record, and the contradictions after the game may be somewhat unexpected.
Maguire, who barely enjoyed the holiday, hurried to catch up with the pre-season training, and unconsciously the new season of the Chinese Premier League was in full swing, and in this way, Maguire returned to the field.
According to The statistics of Maguire Manchester United this season, the number of interceptions (3.1 - 1) and the average of the top per game (5.3 - 3.4) have dropped significantly, but the success rate of steals and competition has improved.
Admittedly, Maguire's decline is visible to the naked eye, and his wind evaluation as a captain has also declined. But to carefully review Maguire's experience in the first half of the year, it may not be difficult to understand his helplessness.
5.
With the data alone, we still can't tell the real reason for Maguire's decline. Maguire has indeed been ahead of many good times this season due to direct errors:
There have been countless such shots this season, but these are just a few microcosms of United's slump this season, and attributing the whole problem to one or two people obviously won't solve the problem.
Known as the clumsy Maquie masterpiece, it is the eighth round of the league this season, because of Varane's injury, Maguire forced a comeback against the injury, resulting in a wild 4-goal loss for Manchester United. Obviously, this is a model of undesirable effort, but as captain, Maguire has taken on what he should do for the team.

Finally, speaking of captains, let's talk about whether Maguire deserves to be captain?
Long before veteran captain Ashley Young moved to Inter, Maguire had a certain say in the dressing room. In an interview, Maguire also expressed: I am loud on the pitch and in the dressing room, and I am confident to lead this team. What we can see is that Maguire has dared to communicate loudly and direct the running position compared with the beginning of the franchise.
This season, the media has caught the wind and added fuel to the fire, the arrival of C Ronaldo and the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has Maguire's leadership in the locker room declined? I believe Maguire does have an impact on his mentality, but that doesn't mean Maguire doesn't deserve Tony Manchester United.
England's native hukou, the Premier League full attendance that year, the number of league tops and the highest success rate of the center-back, absolute mainstay.
At the same time, last season, according to the news on the Twitter of TA reporter Whitwell, Maguire was checked for a small injury to the buttocks, when in order to help Solskjaer get through the difficulties, he played the closed hard top for two months, and successfully helped Manchester United reverse the decline. So, Maguire definitely deserves United's captain's armband.
The extranet broke the news that during last year's European Championship, Maguire was able to catch up with the knockout round of the national team in time because of the closure, of course, this news has not been confirmed by reliable sources for the time being. But in any case, I believe this proves that Maguire may not be a leader with a strong personality, but he is definitely one who is full of responsibility and leads by example.

Varane was injured unexpectedly before, and Lindelof was infected with a new crown. Injuries, forced comebacks, turnovers, injuries, that's probably Maguire's main theme this season. Maguire's state of Waterloo, in addition to the poor form caused by injuries caused by the tight schedule, I believe it is also related to the decline in mentality and confidence caused by a series of mistakes.
Statistics show that When Maguire plays as captain, United have a 53% win rate, and since Maguire joined Manchester United in 2019, United have won only one of the 7 games he has missed. There is no doubt that Maguire needs to adjust his mindset and return healthy. But in any case, he is still an indispensable member of The Manchester United defence.
Maguire, who was the greatest in england and Manchester United's defensive line. Top headers, beastly confrontations, a three-plate axe grab with a high success rate, and a long, seemingly reliable pass to attack, I'm sure he'll be back.
Varane and Lindelof will still be solid partners by his side, and even Jones, who has also been locked off, seems to have the heart to return to the top, and the bloodied De Gea is still standing behind them... Everything will come back.
