Graeme Souness has hit out at some of the "vile" abuse that has been dished out to Manchester United captain Harry Maguire in recent months.
Maguire has been scrutinised following a collapse in form and has already lost his first-team spot at Old Trafford after new boss Erik ten Hag axed United's beleaguered captain after just two league games.
Despite his domestic woes, the 29-year-old has managed to retain his spot in the England set-up. However, pressure is now building on Gareth Southgate to change that ahead of the World Cup after Maguire was at fault for two goals in the 3-3 draw with Germany at Wembley last week.
