Erik ten Hag is known for maintaining a low profile when talking about his players, but on this occasion he highlighted Maguire's work. Despite the fact that the defender, captain of England, is heavily criticized defensively, the coach trusts that he will reach his best level.

"I have to support him. I support him because I believe in him," said the Manchester United coach, who dared to highlight the great career that the center-back is having, even though many do not want to recognize it. "You see his career, almost 50 matches with England. At Leicester and now at Manchester United, he is performing very well. He has great potential."
It is worth noting that Harry Maguire will not be present in this weekend's match against Manchester City, which will be difficult anyway. Pep Guardiola's team is in second position and has not suffered any defeats in the 7 matches they have played. Two draws and five victories is the balance of the 'sky blue' team so far in the Premier League.
He knows it won't be easy
Hag is trying to stay calm despite the poor start to the season he had with Manchester United; however, with Cristiano Ronaldo back and hungry for revenge after being eliminated from the Nations League, he believes he can turn the situation around.

The Old Trafford team is in fifth position with 12 points from 4 wins out of 6 matches. 'Ten' hasn't managed a match with the 'Red Devils' since September 4, after the victory against Arsenal. Now he will have a short time to work before his most outstanding players travel to Asia for the World Cup.
