Manchester United will improve next season after poor 2024-25: Harry Maguire
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has said that the club will come back stronger next season after their disastrous 2024-25 campaign. United had their worst finish in the Premier League this time around as they ended the campaign in 15th and ended up losing the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur. Speaking to Sports Today in Mumbai, Maguire said that his views of the season were similar to manager Ruben Amorim's, who said the season was a disaster. The United defender said the team weren't anywhere near good enough this season and will work hard next time around. Maguire also thanked the United fans for their support during the rough season. advertisement"Yeah, pretty similar, really to Ruben Amorim. I think it's been a really disappointing season, so it's been nowhere near good enough. Next season we will improve. We will work as hard as we can. And yeah, a big thank you for your support throughout this difficult season and this season and seasons like this. It's when you show how good you are as, as a fan base, and, our fans have shown this year that they're the best fans in the world. And so next year it's time for us to deliver and bring the good times back for them," said Maguire. We aim to win more trophies next season Maguire opened up on his extra-time winner against Lyon in the Europa League and said it is something he will never forget. The Defender also said that the aim for next season will be to try and win more trophies. "It was an amazing feeling—scoring a last-minute goal for this club against a big European side. It's a memory I'll never forget, and I know the fans won't either. My family was in the stands that night, and they had a great time too. The dressing room was buzzing. But in the end, it turned to disappointment because we didn't go on to win the cup. Still, it's a moment I'll always cherish. Next season, we go again and aim to win more trophies," said Maguire.

Leona Maguire misses US Open cut after triple bogey ruins comeback
Leona Maguire missed the cut at the Women's US Open after a triple-bogey on the 11th derailed her fightback on Friday at Erin Hills. Up against it after a 76 on Thursday, Maguire mounted a charge on the opening nine in her second round, birdieing the third, fourth and seventh holes to get back to one-over par, just inside the projected cut mark late on Friday. However, all that work was undone on the 11th. Maguire taking two hacks at the ball in the native area before being forced to take a penalty stroke. The resulting triple-bogey 7 left her back where she started on +4 and while she finished well with seven straight pars, her hopes of booking a weekend tee-time were shot. It is a fifth missed cut in seven US Open attempts for Maguire, whose best showing was a tied-eighth finish at Pine Needles Lodge in 2022. With thunderstorms delaying play for a time in Round 2, play was suspended with a small cluster of players still to finish their round and the projected cut at one-over. At the top of the leaderboard, World No. 1 Nelly Korda rocketed into contention with a 67. The American followed up Thursday's even round by carding seven birdies and two bogeys on Friday to sit equal second on five under par. She trails Japan's Mao Saigo by three shots after the 23-year-old took the outright lead with a round of 66.

Kerry soccer star Eabha Maguire says it is ‘a privilege' to captain her county in Gaynor Cup
From kicking a ball around her house with her family, to donning the green and gold in national competitions, Maguire's journey has been one of dedication, passion and continuous development. Now, as she prepares to lead Kerry in the University of Limerick, she is ready to inspire her teammates on and off the pitch. An attacking-minded midfielder with a sharp eye for goal and the ability to pick out that decisive pass, Maguire has never shied away from challenges. Remarkably, she was representing Park's under-13 side when she was just nine years old. 'I first began kicking a ball at home with my dad and little brother Oran. We are a sports mad family, there is always a ball being played in the house! I started playing soccer with St. Brendan's Park in the academy when I was seven. There was no girls team at that age so I played with the boys group up to under-11. 'At nine, I played with the Park Girls under-13 team and eventually we got an under-12 team together. Myself and club mate Eve McEvoy went on a recruitment drive and with girls from school and younger girls in the academy we formed the under-12 team.' A privilege is how Maguire described getting the chance to captain her team in this competition. A balance between competitiveness and camaraderie is a key part of the team's identity. Maguire and many of her teammates have represented Kerry with distinction across multiple age levels, collecting silverware at under-12 and under-13 level. While an under-14 title has so far eluded them, she hopes this could be the year that changes. She watched last year's Gaynor Cup campaign from the sidelines, but this year she captains the group as the next instalment is now just around the corner. 'I was selected for the Kerry Inter League under-12 team and we won the All Ireland final that year and the league. The following year we again won the All-Ireland under-13 final and the league and cup double at under-14 level with The Park. 'This year we got to the under-14 All-Ireland Cup final against Galway but were beaten. 'It feels good to be in the squad this year, and it's competitive, and it's fun as well like. I watched the Gaynor Cup last year. They didn't do very well, but we might. 'I love having fun with my friends and winning. I love learning new skills. I am looking forward to the Gaynor Cup in June and it's a privilege to captain this great bunch of girls from all over Kerry, we are not just teammates but friends. 'We're kind of all together as a team, we include everyone, and we're all friends with each other.'

Ali Coote magic resuces point for Shelbourne on Leeside
Shelbourne's title defence continues to flounder despite an Ali Coote moment of magic to grab a point against Cork City. The relegation-threatened Leesiders were dominant for long spells until Seani Maguire found the net before the hour mark. But City haven't beaten their Dublin rivals since 2013, and haven't kept a clean sheet all season. Those records remained after Coote's sublime finish in front of 2,821 fans at Turner's Cross. Shels move up a spot to fifth for the mid-season break. Ninth-placed City edge a point above bottom side Sligo Rovers. Ger Nash's programme notes declared the City hotseat as "the biggest job in the League of Ireland" ahead of his first home game in charge. The 38-year-old welcomed back Maguire for his first start in almost three months. Despite Seán Gannon and Paddy Barrett's returns, Damien Duff opted for an unchanged starting XI. Nash was up and down the steps of the Derrynane Road Stand as he watched his team control the opening half. Cathal O'Sullivan and Milan Mbeng showed their trickery by nutmegging defenders. Evan McLaughlin ran the show in midfield alongside Seán Murray. Maguire had an early penalty appeal fall on deaf ears. Freddie Anderson headed a couple of corners towards goal. However, his best attempt saw Josh Fitzpatrick get in the way of the ball. In the 27th minute, Fitzpatrick battled to tee up McLaughlin for a dipping long-range strike. Shels were breathing a hefty sigh of relief as it clipped the crossbar on its way over. Then, a rehearsed free-kick routine from McLaughlin saw Charlie Lyons denied at the front post by stand-in keeper Lorcan Healy. Maguire had one shot blocked by Kameron Ledwidge before stabbing at another effort, which he should've taken on his left. Play was delayed due to a drone hovering over Turner's Cross before Shels' best chance of the half arrived. John Martin's hard work set up John O'Sullivan, but Lyons headed his shot away to safety. It was Shels' only shot against City's 11 in the first half. Duff showed his displeasure with three half-time substitutions. Barrett and James Norris were called upon to bolster their defence.
