Former Defender Calls Out Maguire's Tactics

Manchester United star Harry Maguire has been accused of "hiding" during the recent match against Newcastle by former Premier League defender Ashley Williams. Williams claimed that Maguire used a "sneaky tactic" to avoid taking responsibility on the field.

Shirking Responsibilities

Williams stated that Maguire failed to show for the ball when his teammate, goalkeeper Andre Onana, had possession. He accused Maguire of using a tactic to evade his responsibilities and instead pass the ball to Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Williams Expresses Shock

Williams expressed his surprise at Maguire's actions, stating that he observed numerous instances where Maguire deliberately positioned himself in a way that made it clear he couldn't receive the ball from Onana. Williams found this behavior questionable and accused Maguire of hiding on the field.

Criticism from Fans

In addition to Williams' comments, Maguire also faced criticism from fans after deflecting an offside goal in the match against Newcastle. Some fans saw this as a reflection of Maguire's current run of bad luck.

Manager Praises Maguire's Resilience

Despite the criticism, former United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer commended Maguire for his handling of the situation. Solskjaer praised Maguire's resilience and stated that he has dealt with the criticism in a fantastic way. He also highlighted Maguire's commitment to the club and his efforts on the field.
