But Maguire told BBC Sport: "Me and Bruno have a great relationship.
"When I was captain he supported me so much and I trust him so much and I'm sure he trusts me now he is captain.
"We both see ourselves as leaders. When I was captain I saw him as a leader in his own right and trusted his opinion and I'm sure it's the same with him now. He is a fantastic player and a great lad to have in the dressing room.
"We have a lot of leaders. Casemiro, he has won everything, great leader, Bruno, a lot of senior players, Tom Heaton, Jonny Evans.
"At the moment we know it is a difficult period and that is when older and senior players have to take responsibility and step up."
