Maguire’s Touching Message After Winning Player of the Month
Manchester United‘s Harry Maguire expressed heartfelt gratitude towards the staff, teammates, and fans after earning the prestigious title of Premier League Player of the Month.
The accomplished centre-back marked a remarkable resurgence in form, securing the league’s top honor for November, as voted by fans and a panel of experts. Maguire’s achievement stands out as he becomes the first defender to claim this accolade since Liverpool’s Joel Matip in February of the previous year. Receiving the award with evident delight, Maguire promptly acknowledged those instrumental in his journey back to prominence, particularly during a phase when his role at Old Trafford seemed uncertain.
In a post on Instagram, a jubilant Maguire, holding the award, expressed, “Player of the Month. Couldn’t have achieved it without my teammates, the staff, and you, the fans. Your unwavering support and affection do not go unnoticed, and I am truly grateful.”
Maguire’s resilient resurgence offers much to admire. Despite being stripped of the club captaincy and sidelined by manager Erik ten Hag, who indicated Maguire wasn’t in the primary squad plans, the 30-year-old remained composed. Enduring limited playing time and facing adversarial jeers from rival supporters, Maguire persevered and seized the opportunity amidst United’s injury-ridden phase, reclaiming his pivotal role within the team. Notably, his exceptional form has arguably positioned him as the side’s standout player, a recognition solidified by the Premier League award.
With an upcoming fixture against the formidable in-form Bournemouth at Old Trafford on Saturday, Manchester United has the chance to level points with rivals Manchester City, if victorious. Undoubtedly, Maguire will continue anchoring Ten Hag’s defensive line, poised to contribute significantly to the team’s performance.
