News like a thunderbolt came to Manchester United. The possibility of seeing Harry Maguire for the rest of the season has increased.
The British Daily Mail reported on the 23rd (Korean time), “Concerns are growing that Manchester United’s key defender Raphael Baran may be out for six weeks due to an ankle injury. He is on the verge of missing the rest of the season.”
Varane suffered an ankle injury in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinal against Sevilla on the 14th and was replaced after the first half.
Manchester United, who were leading 2-0 at the time, faltered after Baran was substituted out, and conceded two own goals at the end of the game to end the draw. In addition, following Baran, Lisandro Martinez suffered a season-out due to a foot metatarsal injury.스포츠토토
After Varane and Martinez are out with injuries, United’s defense is literally empty. They are coming out with a combination of Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire, but the two players, who have lost their performance this season, are not able to properly block the opponent’s strikers.
In particular, Maguire’s performance is serious. On the 17th, against Nottingham Forest, I almost conceded a penalty kick, and a ball touch mistake almost caused a goal crisis.
In the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Europa League against Sevilla on the 21st, the ball was taken away by the opponent’s pressure in the 8th minute of the first half and allowed the opening goal. In this game, Man Utd collapsed by conceding a whopping 3 points.
Fans were furious at Maguire’s defense, which was difficult to see. Fans harshly criticized on social media by tying Maguire and David De Gea, who recorded the mistake that day.
BBC commentator Chris Sutton also criticized Maguire and De Gea, saying, “Both Maguire and De Gea are to blame. They have been completely beaten up in every way.”
Manchester United fans wished Baran a speedy return. However, hopes were shattered when reports came out that test results showed that a colon of up to six weeks was likely.
Manchester United’s last game of the season is the 38th round of the Premier League against Fulham on the 29th of next month. Barran won’t be seen for the rest of the season unless United reach the FA Cup final scheduled for June.
Fans had no choice but to watch Maguire for a while.
