English midfielder Harry Maguire will probably now count the days remaining at MU as he has just continued to have a bad performance in a friendly match against Bilbao.
In the 29th minute of the friendly match between MU vs Bilbao, Maguire had an unsafe handling phase in front of the opponent’s siege. The center-back wearing the number 5 shirt failed to make a disastrous pass, creating conditions for Bilbao’s players to win the ball to attack and hit the center. Neco Williams was the one to take advantage of the success, beating goalkeeper Tom Heaton to open the scoring.
Before that, in the 2-3 defeat to Dortmund in the US, Maguire also had an error passing the ball that made the Old Trafford team almost concede a goal. Goalkeeper Andre Onana angrily rushed over and yelled at Maguire.
Obviously, the bad luck has not stopped clinging to Maguire. However, the England player must blame himself when he often makes mistakes. When given the opportunity, Maguire failed to prove his worth. Therefore, it is difficult for coach Erik ten Hag to give the starting position to the £ 80 million contract. With what Maguire has just shown, it is difficult for him to have a “land” at MU and coach Ten Hag will have more reason to sign a contract with Jonny Evans, even for a short term.
However, unlike when MU lost to Dortmund, Maguire had “atonement” in the last friendly match with Bilbao. Minutes 90+3, the player wearing the number 5 shirt redeemed himself with a header to assist Facundo Pellistri to volley into the net of Bilbao .
Thus, teachers and coaches Erik Ten Hag ended the pre-season friendly with a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. MU in turn beat Leeds 2-0, Lyon 1-0, Arsenal 2-0, then lost to Wrexham 1-3, Real Madrid 0-2, Dortmund 2-3, then won Lens 3-1 and drew 1-1 with Bilbao.
