“I’m Not Angry We Lost – I’m Angry For Him”: Harry Maguire Emotionally Names One Manchester United Star Who Gave Everything vs Wolves
After Manchester United’s frustrating clash against Wolves yesterday, a post-match press conference took an emotional turn when Harry Maguire stepped up to speak. While the defender expressed disappointment over the team’s performance, it wasn’t the defeat itself that bothered him the most.
Instead, Maguire directed his emotions toward one of his teammates — a player who, according to the centre-back, gave absolutely everything on the pitch.
> “I’m not angry because we lost — games can go either way sometimes. I’m angry because that guy, he did everything possible for us to win,” Maguire said passionately. “He left everything out there, and it hurts that his performance didn’t get the result it deserved.”
The Player Who Impressed Maguire Most: Kobbie Mainoo
The “guy” Maguire was talking about? None other than Kobbie Mainoo.
The young midfielder has been growing in confidence this season, and his display against Wolves proved why so many at Old Trafford rate him highly. From his ball control and pressing to his intelligent movement and composure under pressure, Mainoo played with a maturity far beyond his years.
Maguire couldn’t hide his admiration:
> “He was everywhere — breaking up play, driving us forward, creating chances. You look at a performance like that and think, ‘He deserved to be on the winning side.’ That’s why I’m frustrated.”
A Leader’s Praise for the Next Generation
In a season filled with ups and downs, Mainoo has emerged as a rare bright spot. And praise from a senior figure like Maguire only reinforces how much belief the squad has in him.
> “He’s one of the few players this season who’s been consistently brave. He doesn’t hide. Even when things go against us, he wants the ball. That says everything.”
United fans were quick to echo Maguire’s sentiment across social media, with many calling for Mainoo to be a permanent fixture in the starting XI — and even a future leader at the club.
As United continues to rebuild under Erik ten Hag, one thing is becoming clear: the new generation, led by talents like Kobbie Mainoo, is starting to earn the respect of the old guard. And that could be the spark United has been waiting for.
