What does Harry Maguire reveal about his journey to Manchester United?
You know what, you've got to give that a little bit of a... Give it a little bit of a shake. What are we doing here today, Ian? We're going to interview the great Harry Maguire, a player I very much admire. Admire his journey. And we're going to be talking about the best coach he's had. Who's been the one that's helped him the most through everything? He's perfect. He's perfect to talk to for what he's been through, what he's done, how he's come through. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to let that just like, I'm going to let it settle.
How does Michael Carrick influence the Manchester United dressing room?
Just let it settle. People feel you just jump on straight away with the razor. No, you just let it settle a bit.
It smells nice. What do you know about Ian Wright, Harry? I know that he is a very good guy, an amazing footballer and an even better person.
Do you see any similarities between his career and your career?
I must say, Ian was a tad before I was watching football on a regular basis. I've seen a lot of his highlights and I know that he was an amazing finisher. And that's not something I am, so... I'd say we're not similar on the football pitch, but I do think he's had an amazing career. Would you have liked to have marked it?
No, not really. So, yeah, so I'm going to be doing that with a big man. So looking forward to the best coach. So who's his best coach? Who's the person that inspired him? Who's the person that he went to when it was on top for him? Who's the one he spoke to when he couldn't speak to other people? Especially when he's going through the tough times and the good times. And so that's what we're doing, the best coach. I'm gonna try this, what do you think? It's good. What were Harry's bad moments? Well, obviously, I think the £80 million move to Man United, especially when Virgil just down the road at Liverpool went for 75. You know, and let's face it, he hit the ground running. I think he scored his debut against Everton in the Cup or something.
And, you know, obviously, Ari at Manchester United, for me, alongside Real Madrid, he's the biggest clubs in the world. and the most expensive player in the world, that must have had some bearing on it. I can't wait to speak to him to say, can you just tell me about when that happened, you signed, and did you realise the enormity of the football club that you've just joined? We all know how big Man United are, but when you're in the eye of the storm like he was, and then we saw, we saw the memes, all the foolishness that came,
What challenges did Maguire face during his £80 million transfer?
You know what I mean?
How has online hate affected Harry Maguire and his family?
I want to talk to him about that, how he kept going and what kept him going, who kept him going.
Yeah, I think you turn to your coaches, you turn to your family for support, good friends as well, really good friends. So they're the people that you can turn to when you're going through tough times. I think everyone in everyone's career, whether it's professionally or as a young boy, will have gone through testing times. It's just part of the journey. It's part of being resilient and getting through those times and making sure that you can handle the good with the bad because I think that's so important in football.
for him to come through like he did from Sheffield, then to Hull, then Leicester, then United, got himself in the England side, became a linchpin in the team, 2018, you know, 22, a linchpin in the team.
What was it like for Maguire to lose the Manchester United captaincy?
And for me, even in the Euro finals against Italy, still scored the best penalty I've ever seen in a penalty shootout. against Italy. It just, the ball turns square so as it can go into the top corner. You know, so we're talking about a real top-class player.
How did signing a new deal at Manchester United impact Maguire's career?
And you know something, I'd be interested, I'm wondering if he can squeeze in when you look at what's, what the options are at the moment.
What are Harry Maguire's hopes for the 2026 FIFA World Cup?
Is John Stones going to be there? You know, Mark Gatey probably be there. He's got Dan Byrne, Esri Konca. Is there room for Harry? I think there can be room for Harry Maguire. Both boxes, we know I had how dangerous he can be. We saw that with that goal he scored against Liverpool, the 2-1 goal. I was really quite pleased for him, if I'm going to be totally honest.
