–I love Harry Maguire. When people gave him all that criticism, they didn’t look at the facts. They just see that he’s not the fastest or anything else, but no, Harry is a very good player and absolutely brilliant in the air. He gives 100% in every game. He is almost always in the right position. He has vast experience at every level of the game. If Amorim was still in the job, Maguire definitely wouldn’t get a new contract, but Michael Carrick came along and you’ve got De Ligt and some fantastic young defenders as well who have excelled. I think if it was up to Michael, he’d love to keep him, because I think he can get the job done. It’s as simple as that,” Wes Brown begins, according to Goal.
Who thinks the combination with the younger players will be brilliant.
“At the same time, you have two potential players, along with Martinez, who can fill the void that you hope will be big players, especially Yoro. He’s going to flourish. So if you could offer Maguire a one-year contract and he would take it, I think everyone would be happy with that…,” Brown said.
