With the exception of abuse

Maguire deserves everything he gets.

Nobody should receive abuse in football, however the criticism and not wanting him to play is perfectly valid. He’s been awful for 2 years, and made the choice to sit on the bench and not play rather then go to West Ham because of a few million quid.

He’s made his bed, he can lie in it for me.

As has been said many times Maguire is a metaphor of what Utd have become, he is a calamity, so are the club. Maybe we deserve him, we deserve being the laughing stock for the owners we have who recruit idiots like Woodward, for example. They have single handedly destroyed Utd as a football club, despite the club generating all the wealth, we end up wasting it.

It is an extraordinary state of affairs, you cannot script it. It's simply tragic.

People going way too far though. It's absolute stupid. As if Harry Maguire is the reason our club is failing. We were failing before he joined and we will fail long after he leaves if this ownership doesn't change.

Our fans seem to want to have someone to blame everything on constantly. Rashford was the guy for many people until he turned a corner again. Now it's back to Maguire again. Even seen Mount being labelled a flop and he's played two bleeding games and a total of about 150-160mins.

This fanbase deserves what we get sometimes.

Other than being calamitous it's not his fault, that's true.

He is part of the foundation of the team, he was captain, he should be steading his troops. He rarely instills calm, he is quite often the source of our defensive issues.

However, one player does not make the team, I agree. But taking the talking, which he often does, he courts attention because he is that deluded to believe he is worthy of his price tag, he believes he's the best. With such delusion you have to accept the level of criticism he's getting. If he was sensible he would have left by now.

Was being the key word. He isn't anymore. He's now a squad player also.

"It pretty much takes the pressure away from my team-mates and puts it all on myself," Maguire said.

"It makes them play better, for sure."

Taking credit for Bellingham's performance

He is a squad who thinks he's a starter, but also a captain who was unfairly deposed of the title. A toxic concoction.

Think it's weird that people get so heavily invested and emotionally sensitive about a footballer, personally. It always go way past general critique.

If an actor makes a string of bad films I don't start attacking them personally.

Football is more toxic than its ever been, with social media and 24/7 discussion leading to tons of click bait and mob riling in order to keep pushing out content. None of this should get personal but the amount of really over the top insults and slews is absurd now.

There's very little fun or joy in football these days, everyone is so hyper sensitive and take results really personally, mostly because they'll know they'll get loads of stick on tiktok or whatever.

An awful lot of stuff said about Maguire has gone too far. Thick people will do what thick people do though and play mental gymnastics to justify it.

Insert someone saying "but he's paid loads". Cool, we'll all treat you like dirt then because compared to lots of people across the world, you're paid loads. Dumbest and yet most common response I see regarding this sort of thing.

Not really comparable.
If that actor came out after 50 terrible movies, at the same time as being the lead actor on all of them, and being paid a handsome fortune, and being the worst actor in the movie... I can bet you that this person would receive abuse, especially if they came out with ridiculous comments like Maguire has over the years, and getting arrested in Greece "do you know who I am".

Look at all the abuse Chris eubank jr receives. Maguire "abuse" pales in comparison.

The difference between the two characters is that eubank is an arrogant, intelligent tos ser with loads of ability.
Maguire is an arrogant, stupid to sser with no ability.
Eubank loves the abuse, Maguire, it makes him 100x worse.

DDG got loads of stick, despite being a United legend, and he.didnt once complain or get his mom to address it.

Embaressing.
