Harry Maguire asks Man United to sign 'native English speaker' as his partner in shock 'communications issues' claims from journalist Mar 27th 2021, 17:24, by Lorenzo Martín The latest episode of the Transfer Window Podcast from journalists Ian McGarry and Duncan Castles has thrown up a shock claim that may spark controversy involving Man United captain Harry Maguire.

One would assume that they can understand and convey things at a level of basic English, is the talk of 'communication issues' via this language point just an excuse from Maguire's behalf? The so-called revelation was made in the same passage of commentary that later added Spaniard Pau Torres – who is learning English – and Frenchman Jules Kounde are options for the Red Devils… The post Harry Maguire asks Man United to sign 'native English speaker' as his partner in shock 'communications issues' claims from journalist appeared first on CaughtOffside.
