The Statistical Paradox and the Abomination for Maguire

Harry Maguire was one of the stars of Manchester United’s 2-1 win against Sheffield United on Saturday evening (October 21) in the 9th round of the Premier League. But what is the statistical paradox for the footballer who has suffered English football’s greatest curse in recent years?

Harry Maguire is the most expensive centre-back transfer in Premier League history as he joined Manchester United in the summer of 2019. The English club offered Leicester 87 million euros.

A player who had until then been one of the best defenders in the world’s top league has been widely vilified in recent years, both by fans and by his own team and the way Eric Ten used him. Haha.

The Englishman’s “low” performances led to the Dutch coach axing him as team captain and handing the armband to Bruno Fernandes, while Maguire is now seen as more of a stopgap solution, particularly after frequent injuries to his key central defense duo. Manchester United, Varane and Lisandro Martinez.

Although the England international has not lived up to the club’s expectations, he has the statistical paradox of not having tasted defeat every time he has appeared in the Red Devils jersey over the last year.

As of October 22, 2022, Maguire has played 16 games for Manchester, recording 15 wins and just 1 draw, with his side conceding 0.7 goals per game and achieving a win rate of an astonishing 94%.

In contrast, when not playing, Ten Hach has a total of 22 wins, 7 draws and 13 losses and concedes almost twice as many goals (1.3 per 90 minutes), with a win rate of 54%. As can be seen from the objective figures, the anathema for Harry Maguire is on the verge of empathy from the football world.
