Rashford gets criticized. De gea got criticized. Bruno does get criticized. It’s the life of a footballer. Equal praise and equal criticisms. The criticisms Maguire has gotten is well and truly deserved. Just because he’s playing well NOW doesn’t erase YEARS of bad performance.
That was shitty. But most fans criticize his FOOTBALL. Most England fans say someone else deserve to start over him. Football criticism. That’s not hate.
Being booed and jeered every time you come on the pitch or receive the ball is beyond just general criticism.
Granted he hasn’t received anywhere near the levels of hatred that Beckham got, but the treatment of a man who was England’s best defender at more than one tournament, and quite frankly done well for United in his first season, is outrageous.
I think it’s more than fair for people to give their opinion on who should be in a squad, but once it has been picked, and they step over that white line, you back your players no matter what. That’s what a real football fan does.
Clearly you haven’t watched anything much at all, since Maguire’s performance and confidence issues only started 2 years ago in late 2021 when he was rushed back from injury and had a sequence of horrific games.
At least have the balls to admit that you just don’t like him, you’re doing a terrible job of hiding it.

He got bomb threats, that’s not “criticism”

Fuck off lol. The moment[X] shit like this happens, then you can confidently say it goes beyond the criticism all footballers get.
You can both criticize a player’s ability and denounce personal hatred.
In this economy?
Gimme a break, 99% of the noise is just HURHUR MAGUIRE BAD, without actually watching him play
I’ve watched for 4 years now. A goal yesterday doesn’t change anything.
Good for him for scoring, 100% but we can’t just rewrite history.
