“It Is Digraceful And Unacceptable” – Maguire’s Mum Fires Back At Her Son’s ‘Disgraceful’ Critics

Zoe Maguire – the mother of Embattled Manchester United defender, Harry Maguire has fired back at media critics for their disgraceful criticism of her son’s performances.

Maguire, who joined United from Leicester City for £80 million ($99.94m) in 2019 scored an own goal during the week and was stripped of the club captaincy by manager Erik ten Hag back in July.

England boss Gareth Southgate has come under criticism for continuing to select Maguire despite his lack of playing time at United.

Maguire’s criticism intensified after the 3-1 win over Scotland when he clumsily prodded a low cross into his own net in the 67th minute.

Reacting to the critics’ assessment of his son’s performance, Zoe Maguire wrote In an Instagram post:

“As a mum seeing the level of negative and abusive comments which my son is receiving from some fans, pundits, and the media is disgraceful and totally unacceptable to any walk of life, never mind someone who works his socks off for club and country.

“I was there in the stand [at Hampden] as usual. It’s not acceptable what’s been created, over nothing. I understand that in the football world there are ups and downs, positives and negatives but what Harry receives has gone far beyond ‘football’.

For me seeing him go through what he’s going through is not okay. I would hate to have to see any other parents or players go through this in the future, especially the young boys and girls breaking through the ranks today”.

“Harry has a massive heart and it’s a good job he’s mentally strong and can handle it as others may not be able to. I wish this sort of abuse on nobody.”

Maguire has struggled for first-team football in the Premier League this season so far, although he reportedly turned down a move to West Ham this summer.
