Harry Maguire is the most underrated player in the Premier League – he’s never let Manchester United or England down.That is the verdict of Red Devils hero Steve Bruce, who believes his former Hull City player doesn’t get the accolades he deserves.Bruce named Maguire as his pick for the Premier League’s most underrated playerGettyMaguire, who named himself one of the best defenders in the world in both boxes earlier this year, has long divided opinions among fans.He joined Man United from Leicester City for £80million in 2019 – a world record transfer fee for a defender, but has had mixed success.Maguire’s ups and downs at Man UnitedThe centre-back has made over 260 appearances for the club and won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup since his arrival.He was appointed captain just five months after his arrival, but a downturn in form led to criticism of his continued selection under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his successor Ralf Rangnick.In 2022, Police even investigated a bomb threat at Maguire’s home following a petition to remove him as Man United skipper.He was stripped of the Red Devils captaincy a year later after he fell out of favour under Erik ten Hag.Maguire then looked to be heading out the exit door to West Ham, but stayed at Old Trafford and has featured nearly 100 times since, under four different managers, despite the club spending £100m on players in his position in that time period.The 66-cap England international has also enjoyed a career revival since Michael Carrick took the reins from Ruben Amorim.His form was rewarded with an international recall in March and a new United contract, but he was controversially left out of the Three Lions’ World Cup squad by Thomas Tuchel this summer.Maguire is a key figure under Carrick but was unable to prevent the club’s 2-0 defeat to Hull CityGettyMaguire ‘should get more accolades’Former Man United captain Bruce knows all about being snubbed by his country, having never earned a senior cap during his playing days.Asked for his pick as the most underrated right now, Bruce told talkSPORT.com on behalf of Free Bets: “Wow, that’s a good question.“In my era, I always thought it was Dennis Irwin. Dennis Irwin played nearly 13 years for Man United. Is there somebody out there like that?“I always think that Harry Maguire always gets a bad deal, and he always comes around and proves people wrong in my opinion.“So maybe I’ll go for Harry. I don’t think he gets the accolades that he should have got, certainly after watching them for the last eight to ten years.”England’s Mr Dependable, Maguire, missing out was one of the major surprises of Tuchel’s World Cup squadPAHarry Maguire statsMaguire can point to the stats that show United’s Premier League win rate is better with him in the team than without.He was a key part of the team who finished third and second in successive seasons under Solskjaer, with an ankle ligament injury ruling him out of the Europa League final defeat to Villarreal.Since his 2019 transfer, Maguire ranks in the top 10 in his position across the league for progressive carries, aerial duels won, interceptions, and appearances – despite his various fitness issues.Maguire was also named by UEFA in their Team of the Tournament during the Three Lions’ run to the final on home soil in 2021 – and even scored a penalty in the shootout defeat to Italy.Bruce added to talkSPORT: “I’ve never seen him let Man United down.“I’ve never seen him let England down either, but unfortunately, it seems to hang around him for a long time.“So he should get more accolades than he does.”
