The saying goes: when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Fast forward eight months, and Harry Maguire is not only still part of the team but also among the few players that coach Ten Hag can depend on as he strives to maintain his position. Ten Hag affirmed that the squad has enough leaders – characters with the personality to step forward and lead the team in tough situations. Despite the lack of a collective response from the Red Devils since Ten Hag’s plea, Maguire has stood out.

In a recent match against his former bottom-of-the-league club, Maguire, despite being behind, scored a crucial goal that leveled the game. This performance was noteworthy, especially considering the high-profile forward line possessed by the team. The question is raised: will Harry Maguire remain at Manchester United next season? While Maguire’s on-field performances have earned him praise, it is his attitude behind the scenes that has won him the most acclaim.

Displaying resilience and perseverance amidst difficulties, Maguire handled the situation without public outbursts, contrasting with actions of some of his teammates. He emphasized the responsibility that comes with playing for the club and acknowledged the team’s failure to uphold it in a crucial game. Furthermore, he has played through injury when the team faced a shortage of center-backs. In summary, Maguire has set an example for others and demonstrated the character traits expected of an elite player at Manchester United.
