Arguably, all parents are always happy to see their children achieve a milestone. Well, that is what Harry Maguire’s mother deserved after his son became the world’s most expensive defender. But fans gave her nothing but pain after storming social media to mock Maguire’s body shape.
On Monday, the Red Devils confirmed they had secured the England international on a six-year contract, and while financial details of the deal were not disclosed, British media reported the transfer fee was around £80 million (S$134.3 million).
After the confirmation, Zoe Maguire (Maguire’s mother) went online to celebrate her son for the unprecedented landmark, only to meet backlash from fans, who were determined to cut short her joy.

Maguire agreed to a six-year deal at Old Trafford. It has been quite the journey for Maguire, who did his time in England’s lower leagues and only joined Leicester City for roughly £17m two years ago.
