Maguire has had to deal with the weight of enormous pressure and expectation since completing his record-breaking £80 million ($105 million) transition from Leicester City to Old Trafford in 2019.</p> <p>That only increased when he was made United’s new permanent captain by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer just six months after his arrival in Manchester. It looked like a rash decision at the time given Maguire’s lack of experience at the highest level, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/harry-maguire-stripped-of-man-utd-captaincy-after-crunch-talks-with-erik-ten-hag/blt346ef8e03ae46d0d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">and so it has proved</a>.</p> <p>Maguire’s performances gradually worsened under Solskjaer and his interim replacement Ralf Rangnick, but he clung on to his spot in the team due to his status as skipper. However, Erik ten Hag immediately identified the defender as a weak link upon his arrival at United last summer.</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com/barcelona-beat-chelsea-manchester-united-and-paris-saint-germain-to-vitor-roque-as-the-athletico-paranaense-attacker-completes-a-e35-million-move-to-camp-nou/" data-type="post" data-id="84427">Barcelona beat Chelsea, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain to Vitor Roque as the Athletico Paranaense attacker completes a €35 million move to Camp Nou.</a></li> </ul> <p>The former Ajax boss made sure that Lisandro Martinez followed him to Old Trafford, and it wasn’t long before he started experimenting with the Argentine enforcer alongside Raphael Varane in the heart of his backline. United improved significantly after Maguire’s relegation to the bench, and he had to watch on as Bruno Fernandes took up on-field captaincy duties in admirable fashion.</p> <p>By the end of the 2022-23 campaign, the England international had also fallen behind Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw in the pecking order. Ten Hag made it painfully obvious that Maguire doesn’t fit into his long-term plans, but if there had been any shred of doubt still remaining, he eliminated it when the centre-half returned for pre-season training at the weekend.</p> <p><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/harry-maguire-stripped-of-man-utd-captaincy-after-crunch-talks-with-erik-ten-hag/blt346ef8e03ae46d0d" target="_blank">Maguire announced that he has been stripped of the captaincy</a> in an emotional post on social media, and admitted that he has been left “extremely disappointed” by Ten Hag’s ruthless decision. But he should really look at it as a blessing in disguise because now he is free to rebuild his career – away from Old Trafford.</p> <p></p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.sweetmelodiesfm.com/harry-maguires-time-has-come-to-an-end-with-erik-ten-hags-brutal-leadership-decision-manchester-uniteds-defender-must-seek-a-trade-or-risk-ending-his-england-career-prematurely/">Harry Maguire’s time has come to an end!

It seems like Ten Hag doesn’t always believe in Maguire. I think the best thing to do is to go somewhere where you can play week in, week out.”</p> <p>Former Dutch international Stam was speaking to Adam Catterall on the debut episode of Full Circle, presented by Bet365.</p> <p>And Stam himself knows what it’s like to leave a club the size of United due to differences with a manager.<img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" alt="Jaap Stam" width="696" height="403" srcset="https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltd506885cb85dfe0c/6304a1576b7cbd68f3891a99/13-jaap-stam.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=640&quality=60 640w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltd506885cb85dfe0c/6304a1576b7cbd68f3891a99/13-jaap-stam.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=750&quality=60 750w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltd506885cb85dfe0c/6304a1576b7cbd68f3891a99/13-jaap-stam.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=828&quality=60 828w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltd506885cb85dfe0c/6304a1576b7cbd68f3891a99/13-jaap-stam.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1080&quality=60 1080w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltd506885cb85dfe0c/6304a1576b7cbd68f3891a99/13-jaap-stam.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1200&quality=60 1200w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltd506885cb85dfe0c/6304a1576b7cbd68f3891a99/13-jaap-stam.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=1920&quality=60 1920w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltd506885cb85dfe0c/6304a1576b7cbd68f3891a99/13-jaap-stam.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=2048&quality=60 2048w, https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltd506885cb85dfe0c/6304a1576b7cbd68f3891a99/13-jaap-stam.jpg?format=pjpg&auto=webp&width=3840&quality=60 3840w" src="https://i0.wp.com/assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/bltd506885cb85dfe0c/6304a1576b7cbd68f3891a99/13-jaap-stam.jpg?resize=696%2C403&ssl=1">Getty Images</p> <p>He joined United from PSV in 1998 in what he labelled the “greatest moment” of his career, but was shown the door by Sir Alex Ferguson just three years later after falling out with his boss over the release of a controversial autobiography.</p> <p>“That was a very low point… The book deal of course was a big part of that,” Stam revealed. “I could have stayed, of course, I could have said to the club that I don’t want to leave.</p> <p>“Eventually, I might play again, but the manager at that time went with different players… I would be on the bench.
