Nicky Butt: Manchester United failed Maguire and lacked a complementary partner around him

Hupu News on October 21 Earlier, Nicky Butt talked about his views on Manchester United player Maguire when he was a guest on the podcast.

Nicky Butt said: "To be honest, everyone always says that players cannot let down the club, but I think the opposite is true this time. The club failed Maguire."

"Look at Maguire's best games, almost all of them were when he was with the England team. Now - he has Stones beside him, and the two complement each other perfectly. Look at the most successful central defender combinations in Manchester United's history: Bruce and Pallister, for example, have completely different styles; the combination of Vidic and Ferdinand also has completely different characteristics."

"Look at Maguire again. After he joined Manchester United, he never had a partner around him who could complement him. Over the years, Manchester United has always wanted to use the tactics of organizing offense from the back line, and also tried to let the second player advance with the ball and initiate attacks like Ferdinand or Stones, but He simply does not have this ability. "

"So I think Manchester United has failed him by choosing an inappropriate partner, and now he has finally reaped the rewards, which makes up for the criticism and injustice he has suffered in the past two or three years."
