Parker said that there is a lot more to being a club captain than the price tag of a player or his ability. The 57-year-old pundit believes Maguire was never the right choice as Manchester United captain.
Speaking to BonusCodeBets (via TalkSPORT), Paul Parker said:
Paul Parker also said that Manchester United overspent on Harry Maguire when they signed him from Leicester City back in 2019. Parker added:
United paid £80 million to secure the services of Harry Maguire back in 2019. Since then, the England international has always divided opinions regarding his defending and his leadership on the pitch.
The 28-year-old defender was made club captain after just six months of signing for Manchester United, following Ashley Young’s move to Inter Milan.
Both Maguire and Manchester United continue to struggle for consistency
Both Manchester United and Harry Maguire have continued to struggle for consistency this season. The Red Devils are in the midst of a barren run, which includes just one win in their last six Premier League games.
Harry Maguire has himself had some poor games. The 28-year-old defender had a poor outing against Leicester City. His mistake directly resulted in Youri Tielemans’ goal in United’s 4-2 defeat at the King Power Stadium.
Maguire again had a poor game against Liverpool as he came along with Luke Shaw which resulted in Diogo Jota’s goal. Manchester United suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat at Old Trafford that evening.
Pressure on Harry Maguire has increased since new signing Raphael Varane endured an injury, keeping the Frenchman out of action for quite some time.
