Harry Maguire has been told to "keep battling on" by former Manchester United star Wes Brown, who knows all about the challenges of establishing oneself in a back four.
The Red Devils academy graduate spent over a decade at Old Trafford, playing across the backline and coping with many selection snubs during his decorated career. That is exactly what Maguire is experiencing this season, having seen Lisandro Martinez seize his spot in the starting XI.
Erik ten Hag's summer signing, a £56.7million buy from Ajax, has come into the line-up to assert himself alongside Raphael Varane, who also looks more accomplished after a difficult first year in the Premier League. It has left Maguire looking in from the outside, and Brown concedes the combination of Martinez and Varane leaves the skipper having to knuckle down.
