Italian football legend Giorgio Chiellini has defended under-fire Manchester United captain Harry Maguire amid his struggles at the Red Devils.
Maguire became a lightning rod for the anger of United fans as their season fell apart last term. The Englishman now finds himself out of the starting line-up at Old Trafford, with Erik ten Hag instead preferring Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane at the heart of his defence.
Chiellini came up against Maguire in the Euro 2020 final last year, which Italy won on penalties, and the 38-year-old has leapt to the his rival's defence as he comes under increasing pressure.
