What about a bomb threat to his house?
Genuine question. Why is supporting the captain of our club through the worst time of his career suddenly a bad thing? Why does it make you a "fan of Maguire?" Isn't that what a supporter of Manchester United should do?
Not one person here has said that Maguire should he starting. Not one person has said that he should he free from criticism.
I'd say a Manchester United fan should put the results of the team first? We have had Maguire start the first two matches this season, and losing them. And since then, following his removal, we have done well and I'd keep it that way. And the criticism/abuse he is getting also stems from the fact that he has been protected by the pundits so far, even when making errors that lead to goal/chance or invite pressure on the team. The only sort of criticism from pundits/peers I could see were
1, Keane calling him out for the Albania celebration,
2, Alphonso Davies saying something like "Imagine being Ronaldo and Maguire being your captain",
3, and his former teammate Elmohamady saying "He is not at the level to be United Captain". He was basically supported and somewhat coddled by most of the media, and I think the displeasure of seeing him underperforming for united during this time, has definitely made a lot of the fanbase turn to mocking and abuse. I remember when he first started for us, he wasn't as bad. While he never looked like an 80m player(not his fault) he was decent. But that price tag has definitely influenced the fan opinion of him.
But, he'd have received much less abuse if he'd owned up for his shortcomings and subpar performances, and wowed to get back in form and back in the team. Had he said something along the lines of that, instead of ‘I wouldn’t be playing every game if I’d be bad’, or blamed his teammates, he'd have fared much better. I'm not saying he deservers it, but this widespread abuse he is getting is his own making, due to his attitude and performances. Remember, We have Lindelöf who was never that good for us bar a few games and he doesn't get a lot of abuse.
I'd continue to be be happy to see us winning, regardless of Maguire's place in the team.
