Erik ten Hag has told his central defenders they will be subject to ongoing rotation, with the Manchester United boss accused of unfairly scapegoating Harry Maguire.
The England international was relegated to the bench for Monday night’s clash vs Liverpool with Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez given the nod. And the two helped United to their first win of the season after humbling defeats against Brighton and Brentford.
Maguire is now facing a battle to earn his place back in the team, just weeks after it was confirmed he would be staying on as captain. The former Leicester defender’s status as skipper was placed under serious jeopardy last term and it is understood he doesn’t retain the support of the entire dressing room.
