The bad luck continues for Harry Maguire: he has lost all his matches as a starter this season

Harry Maguire is struggling this season. Still beaten by Italy yesterday, the English defender presents worrying figures concerning him.

This is a statistic that hurts, very badly. Concerned by nine meetings since the start of the season, Harry Maguire have not won any games as a starter while Manchester United have won five games this season.

After a catastrophic start to the season marked by defeats against Brighton (1-2) and Brentford (4-0), Erik ten Hag decided to downgrade the England defender, preferring since Lisandro Martinez et Raphael Varane in the axis. Results: only victories including prestigious successes against Liverpool (2-1) and Arsenal (3-1).

In the Europa League, the defender found the starting XI against Real Sociedad but the scenario did not change with a 0-1 defeat as the Red Devils overthrew Sheriff the following week without him as a starter (0-2 ). Add to that the meeting of England in the League of Nations in Italy (1-0 defeat) with Maguire holder and you will understand that the former Leicester player is bad luck.

On the scoreboard, the difference is also obvious. When Maguire started, his team conceded eight goals in four games. When he starts the game on the bench, this total drops to two goals conceded in five games. At this level, it is difficult to imagine a short-term change in ten Hag’s team compositions.
