Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has accused of Erik ten Hag of 'lying' about Harry Maguire in the wake of Tuesday night's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
Despite losing his spot in the United team earlier this season, Maguire, 29, had been tipped to muscle his way back into Ten Hag's plans after impressing for England during the World Cup.
But left-back Luke Shaw was selected ahead of Maguire for United's first Premier League fixture after the mid-season break - with Ten Hag revealing on the night that Shaw was forced to deputise in an unfamiliar role as a number of players, including Maguire, had been suffering with a virus in the build-up to the match.
