Carragher on Maguire The criticism from the outside world is justified
Liverpool star Carragher believes it is too late for Maguire to save his United career and believes it is justified that his performance in England has been criticized.
At club level, Maguire is no longer the main force for Manchester United, players often sit on the bench, Lisandro Martinez and Varane have formed United's new back-line pair, and have achieved good results. That cost the Englishman a chance to play, but Maguire was eventually selected for Southgate's England national team.
Maguire was evident in Wembley's match against Germany, where he made several mistakes, two of which led directly to the German goal. In a column in the Daily Telegraph, Carragher said: "My question to Maguire is: 'Do you have the same anger in your heart?' Many times, it looked as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders, like he was a frightened rabbit rather than the top centre-back of the past. I think Maguire's competition at club level is already too late. ”
"I said last year that he was fighting for his Manchester United career. He needs to be clear that this could be his last season at Old Trafford, starting over. Now this is the problem in England. When I watched Maguire in the last two races, I felt sorry for him. But it's not a good performance for any athlete. But sympathy won't take him back to where he was two years ago. "Between now and the Qatar World Cup, Manchester United have 13 matches. Maguire may only play in a few of these games, and chances in the Premier League are likely to be minimal.
Carragher added: "Criticizing his performance against Germany is valid and justified and Southgate must assess whether Maguire's form is fit for the World Cup to be able to prove that he can put all the issues behind him. In the past, this was something Maguire had been working on to solve. How could the manager make such a big appeal before the opening match against Iran, and could it be that Maguire played for his club? ”
