Graeme Souness believes failures in Manchester United's midfield have contributed to their defensive struggles.
Harry Maguire and the Reds midfield have been heavily scrutinised this season as United have failed to build on last season's second-placed finish and the additions of Raphael Varane, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho. Ahead of this summer, the Reds have already identified both positions for improvement, the heart of the midfield has been highlighted as a 'biggest problem ' but the former Liverpool midfielder believes the fragility in that position has contributed to Maguire's lack of form.
He told Sky Sports: "He has got qualities, he is good on the ball and good in the air. He reads the game okay, he is not the quickest and it is very easy to look at Manchester United and put all the results down to your defending.
