“The worst back pass and disaster.”
Harry Maguire (Man Utd)’s mistakes are being criticized by local media in the UK.
Manchester United lost 0-3 in the second leg of the 2022-23 European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League quarterfinal against Sevilla (Spain) held at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in Seville, Spain on the 21st (Korean time). Manchester United, who drew the first leg 2-2, lost the first and second leg 2-5 on aggregate and failed to advance to the semi-finals.
On this day, Man United collapsed from the beginning. Maguire’s fatal mistake at the beginning of the game was the cause.
In the 8th minute of the first half, Maguire made an uneasy pass to goalkeeper David De Gea, who hurriedly passed it to Maguire. Maguire made a back pass again and was blocked and conceded the opening goal in vain.
Maguire and De Gea, who had completely collapsed mentally, showed faltering several times after that and were unable to prevent a 0-3 defeat.
The British media are criticizing it.
British media BBC pointed out that Maguire’s mistake was the reason for the defeat, saying, “Maguire’s pass gave Man United a disastrous evening.” Then, the media criticized it as “the most terrible of all the back passes I’ve seen recently.”
‘BT Sports’ reported that “Maguire will want to undo his mistakes because he lost so much because of it.” Then, quoting commentator Don Hochison, he indirectly criticized Maguire, saying, “This scene proves that there are some players who do not deserve to wear a Manchester United uniform.”
‘The Sun’ highlighted Manchester United’s overall sluggishness, saying, “Maguire made the worst mistake,스포츠토토” and “maybe it’s fortunate for other Manchester United players to have one clear target to blame.”
Meanwhile, ‘Whoscored.com’, a soccer statistics site, gave Maguire a score of 5.7 out of 10 for making a backpass mistake and goalkeeper De Gea, who could not be freed from 3 runs, a score of 5.2.
