Harry Maguire 'appealed for handball' against Man Utd teammate vs Everton

Harry Maguire’s struggles this season have been well publicised.

The defender had a brilliant Euro 2020 campaign and there was optimism that he would captain Man United to the Premier League title in 2021/22.

However, that has not materialised.

Maguire has made a plethora of mistakes in what has been a dismal campaign for United.

Despite not performing to the best of his ability, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick have both continued to show faith in the English defender.

He was in the starting lineup once again for their Premier League clash against Everton on Saturday.

However, he had another 45 minutes to forget at Goodison Park.

Everton took the lead in the 27th minute after Anthony Gordon’s strike cannoned into Maguire and into the net.

In truth, there was nothing that Maguire could have done and it was very unlucky.

Maguire has gone viral for his actions a minute later. A ball struck Maguire’s teammate, Nemanja Matic, in the arm.

Everyone in the stadium wearing blue appealed for a handball. And Maguire appeared to do so too.

Maguire shouted at the referee and raised his hand as the ball struck Matic on the arm. View the moment below…

I don’t think there can ever be an honest player like Maguire. I call him “The Honest Maguire of Manchester” AKA The GOAT of Manchester United Defence. pic.twitter.com/FOjjVsqYyM

Perhaps influenced by Maguire, Jonathan Moss blew his whistle and signalled for a foul.
