After years of public flogging, Harry Maguire's career is finally getting the respect it deserves
0:05
English football fans should love a grafter. Maguire earned his place at Manchester United
0:09
and is labeled as the most expensive defender in the world, not through reputation
0:14
but through rising through the ranks of English football. With the benefit of hindsight
0:18
we can now see that Maguire was the victim of Manchester United's deficiencies
0:22
rather than the other way around. This isn't exactly an environment that has allowed players
0:26
to blossom over the last decade. But the world has seemingly come to its senses
0:30
A unicorn of a centre-back who, at his best, is as comfortable heading crosses away for 90 minutes
0:35
as he is carrying the ball 40 yards, or breaking top corner cameras in a European Championship final
0:41
This is one of England's greatest ever centre-backs who was booed by his own fans for nothing more than being an easy target
0:48
His repeated heroics in 2018 and 2021 seemingly counted for nothing when football meme pages wanted some easy likes
0:55
This isn't a redemption arc. This is mistreatment being rectified. Put some respect on Harry's name
