Maguire: Rashford waa hanti weyn haddii uu dadaalo iyo abaal-marin leeyahay
Harry Maguire ayaa muujinaya kalsooni ah in Marcus Rashford uu saameyn weyn ku yeelan doono xilli-ciyaareedkan Manchester United. Rashford, oo 28 jir ah, ayaa ciyaaray kulankiisii ugu horreeyay ee Premier League muddo 21 bilood ah, markii United ay 5-2 ku badisay Ipswich garoonka Old Trafford.
Rashford oo ku soo laabtay United
Rashford ayaa loo amaahiyay Aston Villa iyo Barcelona ka dib markii uu khilaaf la yeeshay maamulihii hore Ruben Amorim. Barcelona waxay awoodi lahayd inay dhaqaaleeyaan £26m si uu u sii ahaado, laakiin hadda wuxuu ku sugnaanayaa kooxdiisa carruurnimada.
Maguire wuxuu yiri: 'He's a great talent. He's always a threat. If Marcus wants to be here, wants to work, wants to improve and help the team, of course we're willing to have him in the team. He could still do a lot more and I think he'll say he can do more but if we keep him fit, we keep him happy, he keeps driven and hungry, he's a great asset to have.'
Falanqaynta Maguire iyo Carrick
Maguire wuxuu intaa ku daray: 'He's come back in, really fit and sharp and we're excited to have him.'. Wuxuu kaloo sheegay in shaqadiisa kubadda la'aantu ay horumar weyn ka samaysay tan iyo markii Michael Carrick yimid.
Carrick, oo ah madaxa tababaraha United, wuxuu Rashford ku tilmaamay inuu la mid yahay qof dhawaan la saxiixay. Maguire wuxuu yiri: 'As a club, we haven't been perfect from top to bottom. We haven't been challenging at the top end. So, Marcus has been part of a rough ride for Manchester United.'
Zirkzee iyo daaqadda wareejinta
Joshua Zirkzee ayaa u muuqda inuu yahay cayaaryahanka ugu dhow inuu ka tago United ka hor inta uusan xidhmin daaqadda wareejinta ee Talaadada habeen. Lixdii loo dhigi lahaa in loo amaahiyo Fiorentina waa la joojiyay.
Zirkzee wuxuu ahaa mid aan la isticmaalin labadii kulamaba ee United xilliigan. Carrick wuxuu yiri: 'It's always difficult to say, to be honest, when there's so little time left but we're always open if there's something else to be able to add. I wouldn't shut that down, but as it stands, we'll have to wait and see.'
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has declared Marcus Rashford a 'great asset' after the 28-year-old returned from loan spells at Aston Villa and Barcelona to start his first Premier League match in 21 months with a 5-2 victory over Ipswich.
Rashford's Return and Maguire's Praise
Marcus Rashford, who has been away from Old Trafford since falling out with Ruben Amorim, made his first Premier League appearance in 21 months as Manchester United beat Ipswich 5-2 at home. Harry Maguire described the 28-year-old as a 'great talent' who is 'always a threat' and said the club is willing to keep him if he remains driven and hungry. Maguire also noted that Rashford has had a 'wonderful career' for the club, acknowledging that bad seasons are part of playing at Manchester United.
Maguire added that Rashford has come back 'really fit and sharp' and is 'exciting' to have in the squad. He highlighted that the player's work without the ball has improved significantly since Michael Carrick took over as head coach, calling him a 'real monster' who wins many second balls and duels. Rashford's pre-season was also described as 'magnificent' despite limited minutes.
Carrick's Impact and Mainoo's Progress
Michael Carrick has rejuvenated several players under his leadership, including Kobbie Mainoo, who was repeatedly overlooked by Amorim. Mainoo started his first game of the season against Ipswich and grew into the match after United went behind. Maguire praised Mainoo's development, saying his work without the ball has improved greatly since Carrick arrived and he is becoming a 'magnificent player' for the club for many years.
Maguire acknowledged that young players like Mainoo will face difficult patches, comparing it to his own experience with Rashford. He emphasized that Mainoo is 'level-headed, composed and has great belief in his ability.' Meanwhile, Rashford's loan spells at Aston Villa and Barcelona, where a £26m transfer fee would have been triggered, have ended, and he is now certain to remain at his boyhood club.
Transfer Deadline and Squad Moves
With the transfer window closing on Tuesday night, Joshua Zirkzee appears to be the most likely senior player to leave Manchester United. A proposed loan move to Fiorentina has been scrapped, and Juventus may step in, though this depends on Jonathan David completing a move to Atletico Madrid. Carrick said the club remains open to adding players but noted it is 'always difficult to say' with so little time left.
Maguire reflected on the challenges faced by players at Manchester United, stating that the club has not been 'perfect from top to bottom' and has not been challenging at the top end. He admitted that during bad seasons, 'everyone piles on' players, a sentiment he shared from his own experience losing his place and captaincy under Erik ten Hag. Rashford's return is seen as a positive step for the squad's morale and competitiveness.
