Chelsea teen Billy Gilmour explains how Harry Maguire ‘BULLIED’ him

Chelsea teen Billy Gilmour has explained how Manchester United star Harry Maguire ‘bullied’ him five months ago. During the game between Chelsea and Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, Maguire grabbed young Gilmour like a sixth-former stealing lunch-money at school. Following the scene, Gilmour showed he had learned from the experience. The player run the show for Chelsea as they knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup. “Basically he was saying I’m a wee guy,” said the ex-Rangers midfielder. “He was pushing me off, gripping me by the throat, and that’s something I have to deal with. But I won’t let that happen again. That was a lesson. “Obviously he is going to try to bully young players and that’s where I need to learn how to be stronger. I’ve been working on that and I can only get stronger. But, yes, definitely, when he gripped me, I remember that ­really well.” Gilmour received the ball in tight spaces, passed his way through the Reds and even nutmeg Liverpool midfielder Fabinho. “I’m not here to be just a player being quiet,” he added. “I need to tell folk to get into ­position. It’s the same when people tell me. That’s how I get better and that’s how they get better. Just telling folk to help out. I have to communicate because it’s especially important in my position.”  Source: The Mirror Join us on Telegram!
