During his recent interview with MUTV at Carrington, Harry Maguire, the England defender, revealed the most underrated player he has played with.
The 32-year-old is one of the best defenders at the club over the past few seasons, with his experience and leadership, which have been beneficial to the team.
Harry Maguire’s contract at Manchester United will expire at the end of the season, and if the club decides not to renew it, he will leave the club as a free agent in the summer transfer window.
Former Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim was very happy with the player and was open to keeping him before he was sacked. Still, no decision has been made over the future of Harry Maguire, who still has a lot to offer the club.
Speaking about his football influence recently, the defender revealed the most underrated player he has played with and also discussed the likes of Raphaël Varane and Victor Lindelöf.
Who is the most underrated player who played with Maguire?
Harry Maguire has revealed that Jonny Evans is the most underrated player he has played with so far. Speaking to MUTV, Maguire said “He’s a great guy. Really calm, a real good player. When I speak about underrated players, I’d say Jonny, for me, was probably the most underrated player I’ve ever played with.
“If I was a young boy, or I was teaching someone to watch defending and watch body positioning and watch movement, I’d say: ‘Watch Jonny Evans.’ He was that good at his body positioning and the way that he’s so active in every part of the game.
Harry Maguire continued, “There are a lot more things to defending than making last-ditch tackles and making big challenges. They get the plaudits from the fans, but your body positioning, your footwork, the understanding of where you need to be… and the main thing as a defender, I always say, is being active in every part of the game, and Jonny was the best I’ve played with in terms of that.
“So he [Jonny Evans] was an excellent player, and obviously coming towards the end when he came back to us at the club. But you could still see his quality. I saw a lot more of his quality obviously, when he was at Leicester in his prime. But he was amazing to play with.”
