Maguire on the youngster in the team: As a captain, I feel a great responsibility to help them

In an interview with the club's official media, Manchester United captain Maguire was asked about the development of the team's young players. Maguire said that as the club's captain, he felt a great responsibility to help the young players.

Asked about Ilanga's recent performances, Maguire said: "That's what this club is all about, and it's been that way for many years, we let young talented players into the squad and they get their chances. In recent games, Ilanga has been in the squad and he has done a great job and he should be proud of himself. ”

"Obviously, we have Marcus Rashford, he's got a foothold, we have Greenwood, he's growing, he's getting better and better. That's what this club is all about, we're going to get very talented players into the squad and if you're talented enough you have a chance to play and that's what Ilanga experienced. ”

Subsequently, Maguire said the older players need to lead by example in all aspects in order to get the right message to the new members of the team. He went on to add: "Of course, it's important, I've talked a lot with Greenwood over the last few years. He's matured a lot off the pitch and you can tell that in his performances. ”

"It's the same with Ilanga, sometimes when you're a little boy you feel like the chance to start is far away, but all of a sudden things change and you get the chance and you need to be ready for that. Ilanga has done a great job, he should be proud of himself, and I'm sure his family will be proud of him. Now that's a standard, can he move on? He had the talent to do it. ”

"Of course, I and the other older players will continue to push him and others, that's what we want and we want young players to come out and bring energy and intensity to help us improve the quality of the team. We're here to win games, and the better the players in our squad, the more fierce the competition will be and the better our chances of winning the game. ”

"Obviously, I'm the captain of the club and when the players make their debut, I feel a great responsibility to help them, to communicate with them because I know how they feel, which I experienced a few years ago. Playing for a club like Manchester United can be stressful and stressful, and for those of us who are experienced, it's important to coach these players on and off the pitch and give them the best chance to perform well. ”

"We encouraged them and we made a lot of demands on them, especially in training. We want them to work hard, stick to it, not be afraid of anyone or anything, and play with a fearless mindset. It's really important that the club now has a lot of older players helping and coaching those young players and helping them to improve the quality of the team and that's our ultimate goal. ”
