He Manchester Utd fell yesterday in a resounding way before the Seville in the second leg of the quarterfinals of Champions League. Loud, frustrating and to say the least embarrassing. For the result, but not only. The ‘role’ of the English team is anthological, but the center of criticism is monopolized by Maguire and De Gea.
The English central defender and the Spanish goalkeeper, with their scandalous ‘cantadas’, provoked harsh criticism from the English press and the simmering anger of the fans. “Embarrassing exit from the Europa League” (Sky Sports), “Unfortunate collapse with devastating De Gea and Maguire” (The Sun), “En-Nesyri double down to ruin a poor Manchester United” (The Guardian) or “Disaster” and “Terrible performance” (BBC) are some of the headlines this Friday.
In the ‘Daily Mail’, moreover, Paul Scholes, formerly of United, pointed directly at De Gea: “He has been a good goalkeeper, but he is not a good footballer”. And he describes the game as an “absolute disgrace”. Ten Hag himself described his team’s attitude as “unacceptable”. On the fans side, more firewood. These are some of the comments on Twitter: “Leave Sancho, De Gea and Maguire in Seville, please”; “Does De Gea play with fins?”; “You cannot defend more than De Gea and Maguire! De Gea has become a legend for this club, but in no way should his contract be renewed”; “Harry Maguire should be thrown out of the club”; “Maguire and De Gea battle it out to see who gets the clown title.” Etc…
