Hey there, young football enthusiasts! Exciting news is in the air as we’ve got some big updates about Harry Maguire and his role as captain at Manchester United. Hold onto your seats because things are changing in the world of football!
Did you know that Harry Maguire used to be the captain of Manchester United? Yep, it’s true! But guess what? The manager, Erik ten Hag, has decided to make a change. He’s taken away the captain’s armband from Harry Maguire. This was given to Harry by the previous manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, in January 2020. That was just five months after he joined Manchester United from Leicester City for a whopping £80 million!
Harry Maguire, who is an important player known for his strong defensive skills, shared his feelings about this decision. He said he’s really disappointed about not being the captain anymore. But don’t worry, he’s not giving up. He’s still going to give his all whenever he plays for Manchester United.
Last season, Harry played in eight Premier League matches. And here’s a fun fact: there’s talk that he might move to West Ham in the future. Keep an eye out for more news on that!
During the 2022-23 season, Harry was part of 31 matches out of the 62 that Manchester United played. But sometimes, he couldn’t play, and another player named Bruno Fernandes wore the captain’s armband.
Harry Maguire took to social media to talk about this change. He said, “The manager told me today that he’s choosing a new captain. He explained why to me. Even though I’m really sad about it, I’ll keep doing my best every time I wear the Manchester United shirt.”
Harry also had a special message for the fans who support Manchester United. He thanked them for standing by him while he was the captain. Being the captain made him really proud, and he thanked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for giving him this important role.
Harry Maguire ended his message by saying, “I’ll always be grateful to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for trusting me, and I wish the new captain lots of success.”
Last season, the team’s defense often had players like Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez. And when they couldn’t play, Victor Lindelof took their place.
