Maguire speaks of importance of trophies for Man Utd
Manchester United defender and captain Harry Maguire spoke about the need for winning trophies for Manchester United in the current environment.
In recent months, Manchester United have shown a more confident game and sometimes even thoughts about the championship title in England creep in. However, Manchester City remain out of reach for the Red Devils, but internal competition can decide everything.
In the last match, Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer's men defeated West Ham United in extra time thanks to a goal from Scott McTominay, thus making it to the FA Cup quarterfinals. In addition, Manchester United lost in the semifinals of the League Cup to Manchester City 0:2, but will clearly fight for the Europa League, having gotten there from the Champions League.
One way or another, Manchester United have repeated the club record in the FA Cup 110 years ago, winning nine matches in a row at home. Although this has not yet brought them a dividend in the form of a trophy. But team captain Harry Maguire is confident in the need for triumphs for the club,
“It was a shame to lose in the semifinals the previous season, but Manchester United are obliged to take trophies. We demand this from each other. It is imperative for the current Manchester United to start winning trophies. This is important both for the club and for the fans,” the official website of Manchester United quotes Maguire.
This season, the Red Devils have every opportunity for this. The central line in the person of Fred and McTominay plays excellently, Bruno Fernandes is fueled, Paul Pogba is not bad in playing on the wing and Edinson Cavani shows good play on the edge. On the negative side, we will only note the decline of Rashford and the uncertainty of Martial, who, apparently, is not going to gain momentum.
Everything is also decent with defense. Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka please especially. Thanks to the competition, Shaw managed to move Alex Telles out of the roster and has been playing significantly better.
I'm not sure that Manchester United will take at least one trophy this season, everything will depend on the stability of individual players. Unfortunately, Solskjaer did not achieve that when replacing the line-up player with a weaker performer, that does not affect the game. It is important for Manchester United to have a full squad in order to succeed, but even with this, loss of points is not excluded, as happened in the matches with Everton or Arsenal.
