Harry Maguire believes struggling Manchester United deserve the harsh criticism

United captain admits players must prove they are up to the job

The National

January 09, 2022

  • English
  • Arabic

Captain Harry Maguire admits Manchester United have deserved recent criticism and the players must prove they are good enough to represent the club.

United suffered a first defeat under interim manager Ralf Rangnick against Wolves on Monday, and that was followed by reports about a poor mood inside the dressing room, and on the back of being branded “a bunch of whinge-bags” by former defender Gary Neville during the 1-1 draw at struggling Newcastle.

Maguire knows the players must do better, as they prepare to return to action in the third round of the FA Cup against Aston Villa on Monday.

“I’ve obviously seen a lot of criticism and a lot of is absolutely justified, but for me, with this team, it shouldn’t need criticism to motivate players,” Maguire said in an interview on www.manutd.com.

“If players of this quality aren’t motivated to play for this club when they pull the shirt on, then there’s something wrong.”

Maguire added: “From what the fans and ex-players have said, we get it.

“As I just said, a lot of it is justified and we all have to take massive responsibility, myself as captain as much as anyone, if not more. We’ve got to start playing well and winning.

“This team finished second last year and we have a better and bigger squad this year, so we have to show the right attitude.

Manchester United lose to Wolves - how the players rated

MAN UNITED RATINGS: David de Gea 7. Needed to be on it and got his fingers to a Neves shot on 12 minutes. Saved again from the excellent Podence on 24 mins – Wolves' ninth goal attempt in the first 25 minutes. That trend continued and in the end a Wolves team who struggle to score won at Old Trafford for the first time in 40 years. Could do little about goal. EPA

Aaron Wan-Bissaka 5. Marcal pushed up against him, but did well to get past him and sent a cross towards Ronaldo on 19 minutes – and again on 27. Problem was the crosses were too high. Regressed in the second half. Getty Images

Phil Jones 7. First game since January 2020. Big cheer when he cleared the ball in the first minute and again with a block after 10. Excellent in first half, made a couple of errors in the second as United shifted to three central defenders. His header went to Moutinho who scored. United’s best player. Getty Images

Luke Shaw 6. Difficult task against Semedo. Guilty of giving the ball away - like the rest of his teammates. Switched to be back three in second half and did well several times, such as against Jimenez to stop 64th minute attack. Beaten for the cross for the goal. Gave ball away too much. Getty Images

Scott McTominay 5. Only United player to start last 10 league games, but lost possession too many times in the first half. Booked. Again. Good run at goal on 70 minutes; too deep for the Wolves goal. Outclassed by his opposites. United’s midfield is a major issue. Getty Images

“We have big players in the team; leaders. I’m sick of repeating myself but it can’t continue like this – we need to go on a proper run, starting Monday.”

Maguire is expecting a reaction, but played down suggestions of disharmony in the dressing room.

“We are all angry and want to do our best, which has probably come across on the pitch at times, but the team spirit is good, despite what people say,” the England defender added.

“Being a professional footballer, you have to take criticism on the chin and react well to it.

“At the same time, you have to ignore the outside noise sometimes and just get your head down (in training).

“We know if we can put together a run of results then everything else takes care of itself.”

Maguire maintains the squad have been left in no doubt of what standards are expected.

“I am the captain and leader in the dressing room and I’ve had private conversations with the players and the management which will remain private,” he said.

“Make no mistake about it, I’m here for the fight and I know my team-mates are. I expect them to be and if they’re not then – like I said – there’s something wrong.

“We have a big squad. Of course, not all players will always be happy as they are not playing but that’s football and we all have to remain professional.

“I came here to win titles. I could have signed elsewhere, but I wanted to be at United and help get them back to the winning ways that the club had in the Sir Alex (Ferguson) era.

“It will come if we all stay together. I grew up idolising the likes of Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic – and I want to repeat what they achieved.

“I am privileged to be captain and I’ve got a responsibility to lead the players and turn things round.”

Types of fraud

Phishing: Fraudsters send an unsolicited email that appears to be from a financial institution or online retailer. The hoax email requests that you provide sensitive information, often by clicking on to a link leading to a fake website.

Smishing: The SMS equivalent of phishing. Fraudsters falsify the telephone number through “text spoofing,” so that it appears to be a genuine text from the bank.

Vishing: The telephone equivalent of phishing and smishing. Fraudsters may pose as bank staff, police or government officials. They may persuade the consumer to transfer money or divulge personal information.

SIM swap: Fraudsters duplicate the SIM of your mobile number without your knowledge or authorisation, allowing them to conduct financial transactions with your bank.

Identity theft: Someone illegally obtains your confidential information, through various ways, such as theft of your wallet, bank and utility bill statements, computer intrusion and social networks.

Prize scams: Fraudsters claiming to be authorised representatives from well-known organisations (such as Etisalat, du, Dubai Shopping Festival, Expo2020, Lulu Hypermarket etc) contact victims to tell them they have won a cash prize and request them to share confidential banking details to transfer the prize money.

The smuggler

Eldarir had arrived at JFK in January 2020 with three suitcases, containing goods he valued at $300, when he was directed to a search area.
Officers found 41 gold artefacts among the bags, including amulets from a funerary set which prepared the deceased for the afterlife.
Also found was a cartouche of a Ptolemaic king on a relief that was originally part of a royal building or temple. 
The largest single group of items found in Eldarir’s cases were 400 shabtis, or figurines.

Khouli conviction

Khouli smuggled items into the US by making false declarations to customs about the country of origin and value of the items.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he provided “false provenances which stated that [two] Egyptian antiquities were part of a collection assembled by Khouli's father in Israel in the 1960s” when in fact “Khouli acquired the Egyptian antiquities from other dealers”.
He was sentenced to one year of probation, six months of home confinement and 200 hours of community service in 2012 after admitting buying and smuggling Egyptian antiquities, including coffins, funerary boats and limestone figures.

For sale

A number of other items said to come from the collection of Ezeldeen Taha Eldarir are currently or recently for sale.
Their provenance is described in near identical terms as the British Museum shabti: bought from Salahaddin Sirmali, "authenticated and appraised" by Hossen Rashed, then imported to the US in 1948.
