Harry Maguire knows he can play better. “I analyse everything I do, I analyse the way I can improve even though I am 29-years-old and have played 40-odd games for England, lots of Premier League games on top of that as well,” the England defender says. Every day, he is trying to improve. “I’m my biggest critic. Although there are a lot of critics out there, I’m actually still my biggest,” he admits, with deliberate, disarming self-deprecation.
Maguire is fully aware of the criticism that has been aimed towards him this season. It is to be expected when Manchester United finish with their lowest points tally in 22 years and you are the captain. He accepts it, to a point. “It was a very disappointing season individually but also for me personally and collectively as a group. As captain of the team, it was somewhere we were nowhere near good enough throughout the season.”
