Due to recent poor performances, Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been threatened by the fans. A mysterious man believed to be a radical Fan of Manchester United this week fired a bomb scare at him. In a threatening letter sent to england centre-backs, the fan demanded that Maguire announce his departure from United within 72 hours or blow him up.
After police and search dogs, Maguire's £4 million villa in Cheshire was not in danger, but to be on the safe side, Maguire moved to a Manchester United teammate's house temporarily. His family, on the other hand, was placed in a safe house for protection. Maguire, 29, received threatening letters through his agent, but insisted he would not be intimidated and did not intend to announce his departure from Manchester United.
"Harry (Maguire) and his Manchester United team-mates often receive so-called 'death threats' on social media, but this time is different," the source noted. The email said three bombs had been placed in his home and that he had 72 hours to announce his departure from Manchester United or the bombs would have been detonated. The letter was full of hatred and insults. Maguire's girlfriend, Fern, went crazy and she no longer felt safe. She had fed up with harry's insults, which were merciless, vicious, and sinful, and should be stopped. They were a close family, and Harry always put his family first, but at the same time he refused to give in to the hate thugs."
According to British media, Lonnick will hide Maguire in Saturday's Manchester United match with Arsenal, and he went to London with the team, but I am afraid it is only a substitute and will not start. Lonnick said: "This is a bad sign in the crazy world we live in, and I feel sorry for Harry, who has experienced terrible things. Harry knows that everyone is supporting him, the club, the team-mates, and it's such a crazy thing, it's sad."
Manchester United substitute centre-back Eric Baie was already dissatisfied with Maguire's poor play and fixed starting point when Solskjaer was still in charge. Now, he has even taken a public stand on social networking sites, asking Lonnick to let him replace the £80 million Iron Guard. A United fan made a request under the club's official account: "Let Bai and Varane start." Bai hetted, "Please." And attached to the expression of tears and prayer.
The last time Baie played for Manchester United was in a match against Burnley on 30 December last year, with zero appearances since 2022, and he has only played seven times this season. Ironically, last year Manchester United chose to renew Bai's contract until 2024, with a one-year priority renewal. The Ivorian Iron Guard felt incomprehensible that the club had left it behind but did not use it.
But Bai may be difficult to achieve, because when Lonnick visited Liverpool in the last round, he preferred to choose Phil Jones, who has only played once this season, rather than let him enter the three-centre-back system. In the battle against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, Lindelof is more likely to partner Varane. Lonnick also believes that players should not express their demands through social networking sites: "No matter what club, you should not do this."
United have defended badly this season, conceding 48 goals in 33 rounds, ranking 9th most in the Premier League and even more than Burnley, who may be relegated, and the defence is at the level of the mid- and lower-floor teams. Bay could be one of the players leaving Manchester United this summer, with many teams in Serie A and La Liga interested in the 27-year-old centre-back.
