Maguire admits that his boss Erik Ten Hag could not hold his excitement after his great performance in the World Cup, which has helped England so far in reaching the quarterfinals.
England advanced from the round of 16 thanks to a strong performance from him and his entire team. England now faces France, the current World Cup holder, at the Al Bayt Stadium.
It has come as no surprise to some of the United fans as they believe this is the big step the skipper needed going forward in his career at Manchester United.
Maguire said that Manchester United wants him to focus on his International duty. He has received support from his club and it meant a lot to him.
His manager is definitely fond of The Dutch team and that’s who he will be supporting in the world cup.
Maguire found himself out of the starting time despite being the Captain of the team. Manchester United’s manager has preferred the Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane duo.
England’s squad has a clear change in mindset after a disappointing loss in the Euro finals against Italy. This has gone a long way toward improving their chances of winning the World Cup.
The winner between Portugal and Morocco will be the one to face England. However, Maguire must help his team beat France first in order to progress to the semifinal of either Portugal or Morocco.
Maguire still recalls the semifinal in 2018 where he felt really proud of his team’s performance. He claims that the current squad has the right mindset to win the World Cup.
Comparing the current squad to the squad in 2018, Maguire insisted that the 2022 team has a stronger belief in lifting the trophy which grows their confidence.
Maguire has attributed his lack of form to a ‘normal’ career dip which most footballers usually go through. His teammates have backed him up during this tough moment which has greatly helped him in boosting his confidence.
He has addressed his dip in form and said that he wants to be better at his game. This will be great news for Manchester United games as the resume the second part of the season.
