It makes them play better, for sure.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I would not say I am a person who struggles with pressure mentally. I have been through a lot in the last couple of years and I have been Manchester United captain for nearly four years. You take a huge lot of responsibility and everything that comes with it &#8211; and that is a lot of bad as well as good.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/13\/19\/75396361-12514931-image-a-1_1694628004523.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Harry Maguire swatted away claims that he was struggling mentally with taunts from opposition fans after featuring for England against Scotland<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/13\/19\/75396359-12514931-image-a-2_1694628010830.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The out-of-favour Man United defender scored a calamitous own goal in the second half<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But it was a huge honour (to play for England against Scotland). It was a hostile environment &#8211; when you hear the national anthem and the way they disrespect that &#8211; and they piled pressure on myself. I would not say I am used to it, but I can deal with it.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Maguire has played just 23 minutes for United this season and was on the verge of a summer move to West Ham before it collapsed. Why did it not happen?<\/p>\n<p>\u2018How can I put this? We just didn\u2019t come to an agreement and they were happy for me to stay and I was happy to fight for my place,\u2019 said Maguire, who had wanted to negotiate a compensation package to leave United. \u2018I want to do that and every time I train or play I will give everything.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I considered everything (in the summer) and I know, at the moment, when I have not started a game in the first four of the season, the story comes to me.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I finished off last season with two very strong performances for England and I have played in all five matches to help put us where we are in qualifying, so I need to keep performing when I get chosen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Listen, at club football, I want to play games, I want to play football. The first four weeks were hard because it was one game a week and the manager (Erik Ten Hag) didn\u2019t select me, but we have lots of games coming up now and I am sure I will play lots of games.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off\u00a0is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, launching with a preview show today and every week this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12514931\/Harry-Maguire-looks-bright-amid-England-woes-claims-abuse-receives-opposition-fans-RELIEVES-pressure-team-mates-calamitous-goal-against-Scotland.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harry Maguire looks on the bright side amid England woes as he claims that the abuse he receives from opposition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287546,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
