In the wake of Manchester United’s disheartening 3-1 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend, Harry Maguire, the England international and one of the club’s senior players, reportedly made a hasty exit from Old Trafford. According to a recent report from Football Insider, Maguire left the stadium within a mere 15 minutes of the referee’s final whistle.
The defeat to Roberto De Zerbi’s high-flying Seagulls saw Manchester United tumble to the 13th position in the Premier League standings. Despite not featuring in the match and serving as an unused substitute, Maguire, aged 30, who had recently represented England in international competition, bore witness to his team’s comprehensive defeat.
These latest reports have raised eyebrows, as they indicate that Maguire, despite being one of the Red Devils’ most experienced and respected players, chose not to linger after the club’s dismal performance. In fact, witnesses observed the 30-year-old “stomping” away from the Theatre of Dreams, further fueling speculation about his commitment to the club.
The swift exit of a key figure like Maguire after such a disappointing result only adds to the mounting pressure on Manchester United as they strive to regain their footing in the Premier League.
