[Must board] Maguire: Every Premier League company doesn't like Manchester United, so I wish Manchester United performed poorly

, so I want to ask you two questions at the end. You mentioned Ronaldo before. I think fans, Manchester United fans, always want to hear what he was like when he played for Manchester United. Obviously, you must be very close to him. What did he bring to the locker room? What was he like in the locker room? Let’s have a brief talk with us.

No, I can't say bad things about him. He was so awesome at the time, it was so great to have Ronaldo, and it was incredible as soon as he entered the door. Well, but the end result was disappointing, and we couldn't find a way to play a good role with him.

He performed well at the time and scored a lot of goals. This is crazy. I don't know how many goals he scored that year, and even though he was in poor form, he was still scoring. So, it proves how good he is.

But we just can't find a way, we have some great players, don't get me wrong...

But it's all about pressing, tactics and formation formulation, and when to press forward and when to maintain formation. Obviously, after Cristiano came on the court, we didn't get well adapted to his on-court and tactics.

You can see that he is very frustrated and lost. How did you deal with the frustration and anger he showed? As a veteran player, how did you deal with it?

Yes, I think you know what I think, it was a season where I think everyone was very upset and they couldn't believe what happened because we obviously got third and second, that season we brought in Varane and Ronaldo in the summer, you thought, now we're going to win the Premier League, but that's not happening. Everything went smoothly, and Sosha was dismissed.

Well, to be honest, it was a disappointment. I think he is leading the team very well and will talk about it after I retire, but the arrangement he gave us in the previous two years may be the best team I feel.

Wow. The three of them organized us very well under Oli, Kieran and Carris. Well, like I said, we are not the best team, but the coaches are excellent and the tactics are excellent.

At that time, Manchester United was very pragmatic and could press...well, but yes, this is my third season there and it was not very effective. But that has nothing to do with Cristiano because like I said, he was our best player that year and his teammates and tactics just didn't work.

Okay, finally, select 5 of the best opponents you have ever played.

John Stones, in fact, Varane can be chosen... However, I will choose 1 defender and 3 midfielders, well, I will choose Bruno, and then Paul Pogba.

He is a very good player and another player we really play at his best. He has a lot to offer. Well, despite his excellent performance at Manchester United, expectations are high.

oh?

No, he can't do anything. He has to be the best player in the game or he will be squirted. So, no, he has it all. He is an incredible player.

Then I will choose Mahrez, and finally Ronaldo.
