Among all the media rumors suggesting that Erik ten Hag is thinking of dropping Harry Maguire to the bench ahead of the Liverpool fixture this Monday, the former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam has come out to the 29-year-old player’s defense while talking to SafeBettingsSites. The Dutch ex-footballer thinks Maguire’s teammates should help him:
“Harry can do better than what he’s been showing for the club because the manager is asking things of him that maybe he is not always used to do. That takes a certain time to get the confidence in doing so and having that self-belief to perform better. Defensively sometimes he’s making decisions that are not the correct ones. But that’s also true for a lot of the players around him”.

“Now that United are playing with one holder instead of two, that makes it more difficult as well, and easier for the opposition to press. These are the things that can help Maguire out. It’s important the players alongside him, but also in front of him. The midfield players are helping him out ad giving him the right options. Dalot on the right side, he needs to help Maguire out as well by taking up the right positions”.
Harry Maguire has also been linked to a move to Stamford Bridge. Yesterday it was reported by Sami Mokbel from The Daily Mail, that Erik ten Hag was considering adding the Man United captain to the Christian Pulisic deal since he wants a winger and Chelsea are looking for a defender in the final weeks of the transfer window.
The 50-year-old was one of the best centre-backs in the last 20 years. He played for big clubs such as Ajax, Manchester United, Lazio, and AC Milan. He was the fiercest defender of his time and won three Premier League titles and one FA Cup while playing at Old Trafford. Now, the Dutchman has a manager license and is looking for a club after coaching MLS side Cincinnati.
