Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a former Manchester United manager, has hailed Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire for displacing current manager Erik ten Hag.
After Ten Hag stripped him of the captaincy, Maguire appeared certain to leave Old Trafford in the summer.
Although there was much speculation linking the England international to West Ham, no deal was ultimately done.
Nevertheless, prior to the international break, Maguire—who has battled for playing time under Ten Hag—put up a number of strong displays.
Solskjaer said Nettavisen, “I think he has dealt with it in a fantastic way.”
“It hasn’t been simple. I have maintained communication with him, and I am all praise for him.
I suppose he’s gradually come to know who to trust. I’m thrilled that Harry in particular demonstrates not only his abilities as a player but also his personality and character. I made him captain for that reason. In Norway, we refer to it as “hell wood.”
Additionally, McTominay—who was also rumored to be leaving United in the summer—was lauded by Solskjaer.
