Maguire knows United are either loved or hated across the country following the glory years under Sir Alex Ferguson and says lifting his first trophy as captain will be all the sweeter.
When asked by ex-United defender David May if he enjoys the fact everyone hates the club, Maguire said: “I enjoy it. I don’t mind it at all.
“When I lift my first trophy at this club it will put a bigger smile on my face knowing there’s a lot of people not wanting us to do that.
“We are the most talked about club in the world. A lot of people don’t want us to do well.
“A lot of people want us to fail and that’s the world that we live in. I’m pretty used to it now.”
United will go level on points with leaders Man City – who also have a game in hand – for 24 hours at least if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men beat Everton at home on Saturday night.

But Maguire, who cost £80million from Leicester in the summer of 2019, is demanding more from his team-mates to deliver silverware at Old Trafford.
Maguire, 27, told the Utd Podcast: “I’ve felt from the moment I walked into this club we have improved a lot.
“Performance-wise is so important because you can get lucky in one, two, three games when your performances aren’t good and you scrape wins. But you are never going to last over a season.

“You have to make sure performances look after themselves and give yourself an opportunity to go and win games over a period.
“Keep improving but for sure, at this club we have got to win trophies.
“We have to start competing in the league to win the title and then we have to start lifting trophies and winning the biggest competitions in the world and being involved in them. “
