Harry Maguire ‘Gutted’ Over Absence Against Man City
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has expressed his deep disappointment after manager Erik ten Hag confirmed he would miss the FA Cup final clash against Manchester City on Saturday.
Maguire, who last featured for United in their 1-1 draw against Burnley at Old Trafford, has been sidelined for the final five Premier League matches due to a groin injury. The 31-year-old England international had fought his way back into United’s starting lineup this season, and his absence will be keenly felt by Ten Hag, especially with the team grappling with numerous defensive injuries.
In light of Maguire’s absence, United has had to make adjustments to their defensive lineup. Recently, Casemiro has been deployed as an emergency centre-back, a role he is likely to continue at Wembley.
Maguire shared his frustration on Instagram, stating, “Gutted I’ll be missing the final. I would do anything to be available but now fully focused on supporting the boys. Come on United!”
The absence of Maguire adds to United’s defensive woes, but the team remains determined to put up a strong fight against their city rivals. The Red Devils are aiming to end their season on a high note with a victory in the prestigious FA Cup final.
