Harry Maguire sends message to Joshua Zirkzee and Altay Bayindir after Man Utd heroics



Joshua Zirkzee and Altay Bayindir were instrumental in Manchester United’s elimination of Arsenal from the FA Cup, and Harry Maguire has conveyed a message of support to the duo, who have faced criticism recently.


Harry Maguire commended colleagues Joshua Zirkzee and Altay Bayindir for their exceptional performances in the FA Cup, asserting that the Manchester United supporters will support every player during challenging times.



United forward Zirkzee converted the decisive penalty in the shoot-out, less than two weeks after being jeered off the pitch, while Bayindir executed remarkable saves following last month’s dismal performance against Tottenham.



Maguire stated: “I have experienced a period with this club where challenges abound and opposition is prevalent, yet one certainty is that the United supporters remain loyal.” During challenging circumstances, they remained loyal to me.

“Playing for this club entails experiencing significant lows and remarkable highs.” It is essential to strive for self-maintenance. There will be instances in which you do poorly, and at those occasions, others will criticise you.



“However, during those matches in which you perform exceptionally, you can emerge as the preeminent player in your position globally; thus, it is essential to remain grounded and composed. Nevertheless, Altay was outstanding, executing significant saves at critical junctures.”


The match against Newcastle Josh was the unfortunate player substituted; any of the 11 players on the pitch could have been replaced at that moment and would have faced boos, since we all warranted criticism for our abysmal performance in the first 30 minutes.

“It was not fundamentally related to Josh; he likely recognises this and may have sensed it at the time, despite the disappointment it caused him.” It is an excellent conclusion today that he successfully converts the decisive penalty, and the team has complete confidence in his ability to do so.

United manager Ruben Amorim feels that the Arsenal match may be “crucially significant” for both Zirkzee and Bayindir in the future. “Indeed, it is crucial, not solely for him, but for all the players,” Amorim added.

Your existence as a player comprises cycles and moments, and occasionally, within a single week, your life might transform. Altay faced criticism during the match against Tottenham, and I comprehend the reasons behind it. Today, he was our hero as well.

“A few weeks ago, Joshua encountered a minor issue with our supporters, but today, each time he steps onto the pitch, the fans’ support is palpable, culminating in his final penalty.” Life is such that one must remain humble and strive daily. Your opportunity will arise. Consequently, it is crucial for them. Not alone for them, but also for his teammates.
