Manchester United were happy for me to stay — Maguire talks failed West Ham move
Manchester United's Harry Maguire talks about his lack of game time and the failed move to West Ham United.
Harry Maguire’s mother, Zoe Maguire, took to Instagram to post a message, which read, “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 ok. 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.”
Her pleas are likely to fall on deaf ears, however, especially as fans of Manchester United blame the centre-back for not pushing a move away from Old Trafford to West Ham in the summer transfer window.
