He doesn’t want to let this embarrassment sit on him.
Manchester United went down 4-0 at league midget Brentford on Saturday. United coach Erik ten Hag took his failures to heart after the game and made it clear that this must NEVER happen again.

Ten Hag on Maguire in pre-season: “He has proved it in the past, but he has to prove it in the present and in the future. How many times has he played? Sixty times for England? His career is really impressive and I expect a lot from him.”
