Manchester United skipper Harry Maguire has admitted that he and fellow footballers do suffer emotionally when not performing at their best levels.
The centre-back, who has been included in Gareth Southgate's 26-man England squad for the World Cup in Qatar, has faced regular criticism from United supporters since the start of last season. He has been constantly picked out as the scapegoat for the club's recent struggles, with some comments directed at him being more than a stretch too far.
While there is no denying that Maguire has lost his way since playing a key role in helping England reach the final of the European Championship in July last year, he has had to withstand a barrage of unnecessary and frankly disgusting abuse, at times. And the defender has now admitted that he suffers, as do fellow players, when things are not going the way that he would like them to.
