Man Utd's Harry Maguire fires back at his critics in honest interview

Harry Maguire has fired back at his critics ahead of Liverpool vs Manchester United.

The Red Devils skipper has seen his form fall of a cliff since a fantastic 2020/21 season and Euro 2020 tournament, leading to some claims that he should be stripped of the captaincy.

There have even been some supporters who think that United should part company with Maguire despite having invested a world-record transfer fee for a defender into his services.

However, Maguire simply isn’t going to go down without a fight and was sure to fight his corner ahead of one of the biggest games of any Premier League season: United’s trip to Liverpool.

That’s because the former Leicester City man pointed to the fact that he clearly can’t be playing all that badly if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick have picked him so often this season.

“I wouldn’t be playing every game for Manchester United in the starting eleven if I’d been playing bad every game or not playing well enough,” Maguire said. “There’s a reason why both managers have put me in the starting eleven every game.”

It’s certainly a legitimate point and one that Maguire did indeed caveat with the fact that his transfer fee and position as United captain unavoidably lead to an extra dimension of scrutiny.

But as you can imagine, Maguire’s defence hasn’t gone down well with every member of the Old Trafford faithful with the interview causing a storm on social media ahead of kick-off on Merseyside.
