If we talk about the worst defensive players in recent years, England and Manchester United's player Maguire is definitely on the list. He lived up to his reputation by scoring an own goal in the match on September 12th, and his poor performance has been a subject of long-term scrutiny by many people. Surprisingly, despite Maguire's numerous poor performances, England coach Southgate continues to support him, starting him and speaking well of him at press conferences, leaving people puzzled.

Maguire's performances at Manchester United have been widely criticized. Although he initially performed well when he first joined the club, his form has deteriorated over the years. In the past couple of years, Manchester United's results have suffered, and Maguire's poor performances have played a role in this decline. It was only when a new coach arrived last season that Maguire was dropped from the starting lineup, and the team's results improved. When assessing Maguire's performances at Manchester United, instances such as "turning like an aircraft carrier," "not defending against opposition players," and "scoring own goals" are emblematic of his later days at the club.

However, even though Maguire no longer starts for Manchester United, he still retains a prominent position in the England national team. Many England fans find this decision baffling and often express their dissatisfaction with him during matches. While it's true that Maguire's performances for England have been relatively better compared to his performances at Manchester United, there are still doubts. Nevertheless, Southgate remains steadfast in selecting Maguire for England.

But how long can this trust last? In the match on September 12th, which was a friendly, Maguire didn't start. However, when he came on as a substitute, he scored an own goal from close range, marking the second consecutive own goal in official matches. As a result, despite England's victory, Maguire still faced harsh criticism from fans. In response to this situation, Southgate not only defended Maguire but also scolded the fans who criticized him, calling it a ridiculous situation.

If Maguire continues to perform like this, losing his starting position is only a matter of time.
