Harry Maguire arrived at Manchester United for £80 million in 2019
and spent the next four years as the most mocked footballer in
the World.
He lost the captaincy. He was dropped. Opposition supporters
cheered his mistakes, and at one point the abuse got severe enough
that managers and pundits publicly said it had gone too far.
What happened next doesn’t get talked about nearly as much. Under
Michael Carrick he became an ever-present as United climbed to
third in the Premier League. England recalled him after eighteen
months away. United offered him a new contract, which he signed on
reduced basic terms with performance clauses attached.
266 appearances. A League Cup and an FA Cup. And a career that
almost everyone had written off.
