No backing down: Harry Maguire's message to City before Sunday's game

Manchester United need to consolidate during this season and show that they still have a lot of joy to give their fans. Erik ten Hag's team has not had the best season and the players are aware of this. For this reason, the situation since the beginning of this campaign has tried to be reversed. However, the results have not been the best for the Red Devils.

Faced with this, Ten Hag has tried several rotations in the team, without any result so far. Despite the key signings of Rasmus Hojlund, the striker has had good performances but it has not been enough to change the landscape of the team. With that said, the Dutchman has opted to accommodate his players with a style that is more offensive than defensive.

Which, in turn, has caused United to somewhat neglect their midfield. With the arrival of Sofyan Amrabat, it was expected that the midfield would be accompanied by Casemiro and the Moroccan player. However, during the last FIFA International Break, Casemiro extended his stay in Brazil due to physical discomfort. For this reason, the player was absent from Premier League and Champions League matches.

In turn, one of United's great heroes during the week was Harry Maguire. The player scored the only goal of the game in the Red Devils' win over FC Copenhagen. Despite the defeat, Manchester United did not show their best version. Now, this weekend they face City, the reigning champions. Because of this, Harry Maguire decided to send a message

Harry Maguire's words

Maguire's message to City was positive. With an attitude worthy of a captain, far from underestimating the opponent, the player recognized the quality of Manchester City and the great qualities that Manchester United have that will be key to getting a good result.
