🚨| Allardyce hails Maguire’s patience: Ronaldo pushed for exit, but he stayed and proved his worth Sam Allardyce has praised Harry Maguire for his resilience, insisting his patience through a difficult spell has finally paid off. He said: “Considering everything he’s been through, Maguire is one of the most patient players in the game. He went from England captain to being almost written off at Manchester United — and at the time, nothing he did seemed to change that. “United’s centre-back situation wasn’t exactly strong either. I don’t think the others were significantly better than him, but it still put his England place at risk. “It clearly affected him, and it took time to bounce back. But he handled it the right way — stayed quiet, didn’t criticise anyone, didn’t try to force a move or make a scene. “When Cristiano Ronaldo wanted out, he acted quickly and it became a major story. A lot of players would’ve done the same — but Maguire chose not to.” Allardyce also pointed to Maguire’s professionalism: “He never refused to train, never caused problems. That tells you he genuinely cares about the club and was willing to fight through it. “Now he’s getting his reward. When Michael Carrick came in, one of the first things he asked was: ‘Why isn’t he playing?’ #MUFC #manchesterunited #GGMU #harrymaguire --- *Football news by OddsFlow — AI predictions, verified and timestamped*
