Maguire: Beckham sent me messages of encouragement during my lowest moments and told me how to overcome them

In an interview with TNT, Manchester United defender Maguire revealed that Beckham sent him text messages to encourage him during the low period of his career.

Maguire said: "I received a text message from Beckham when I was at a low point in my life. He has obviously experienced a low period in his career, and he has also experienced many glorious moments. He is my role model and someone I have admired since I was a child. As a player, I have always tried to be like him, but in the end I played as a central defender. And he contributed on the wing.

It was a very long text message that I can’t remember. It was very heartwarming and insightful. He explained that he had been in a similar situation and how he overcame it. It was a heartwarming text message from a person who is a very important figure in this country and a role model for many people.”
