Last summer a storm brewed around Maguire, and he was told to leave the club by a number of former Manchester United players including Dwight Yorke, Jaap Stam and [Wayne Rooney](~/AAAHagA~/RgRn4AaOP0SxaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvdG9waWMvd2F5bmUtcm9vbmV5P2xpZD1rYjYzNHhzaXo5cGUmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWJyYXplJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1SZWFkaW5nIHRoZSBHYW1lIE5ld3NsZXR0ZXIgMjItMDMtMjAyNCZ1dG1fdGVybT1JTkRfRm9vdGJhbGxfQ0RQVwVzcGNldUIKZfyOgf1lizmMllIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj). There were countless examples of this kind of unsolicited advice in the media at the time, and looking back now, it is much harder to find an expert who encouraged Maguire to stay and fight for his place. He almost followed the noise, coming very close to joining West Ham. He had been making high-profile mistakes, most notably against Sevilla in the Europa League quarter-final, a tragicomedy performance which drew stinging criticism. Then Erik ten Hag [switched the captaincy](~/AAAHagA~/RgRn4AaOP0TaaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvc3BvcnQvZm9vdGJhbGwvbWFuY2hlc3Rlci11bml0ZWQtZXJpay10ZW4taGFnLWIyMjYyNzA2Lmh0bWw_bGlkPXkwaG5rY3JmNjNyMiZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YnJhemUmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPVJlYWRpbmcgdGhlIEdhbWUgTmV3c2xldHRlciAyMi0wMy0yMDI0JnV0bV90ZXJtPUlORF9Gb290YmFsbF9DRFBXBXNwY2V1Qgpl_I6B_WWLOYyWUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~)to Bruno Fernandes in a humiliating blow. Maguire stayed, but started only one of the opening 10 games this season. He is certainly glad he did. Maguire fought to win back his place in the team, seizing his chance with the help of injuries to teammates Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane along the way. Now he is showing some of his best club form since Ten Hag took charge in the spring of 2022.
