Man Utd defender Harry Maguire says bomb threat crossed line

Harry Maguire, a defender for Manchester United and England, thinks he can tolerate criticism of his performance, but a bomb threat he got earlier this year went too far.

Police conducted an investigation of Maguire’s home, where he resides with his fiancee and two children, in April to guarantee the safety of his family.

This season, the United skipper has received severe criticism from experts and jeers from England fans.

“I’m big enough to accept people getting on my back and saying I can improve,” said Maguire.

“There is a line where we are human beings, I do have a family.”

He added: “People ask if it affects me. My mentality is that it doesn’t affect me too much but when it comes to bomb threats, it is more about family. My fiancee Fern.

“I’m just happy my kids are at an age where they don’t read things and see things on the news.

“If my kids were an older age, they could see things and go to school and people are speaking about it. That is when it affects you a little bit more.”

Currently, Maguire is with the England squad as they begin their Nations League campaign in preparation for this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
