Enough is enough. Scandalized by the media outburst suffered by her son since his own goal in Scotland on Tuesday (3-1 victory), Harry Maguire’s mother published a long message on Instagram. “As a mother, seeing the level of negative and violent comments he receives from some fans, pundits and media is shameful and completely unacceptable,” she wrote.

Mrs Maguire was present in the stands and felt that “what Harry receives goes way beyond football. I would not like to see other parents or players experience this in the future. She explains that her son has “a huge heart” and that he “works like crazy for his club and his country”. She is delighted that he is “mentally strong” to withstand criticism.

At 30, Maguire is no longer in the odor of sanctity in the club or in the national team. Removed from the captain’s armband, he is no longer a starter at Manchester United, who spent almost 90 million euros to recruit him in August 2019.
