Harry Maguire told he wasted his "PR" chance with hospital pass to Hannibal Mejbri

Harry Maguire has been told by Roy Keane that he wasted his chance to build on some positive "PR" after Manchester United were hammered 4-0 by old foes Liverpool.

The Red Devils were all at sea for much of the one-sided match on Merseyside, including the under-fire captain. Conceding within the first five minutes, Maguire and co's calamitous display continued through until the 85th when Mohamed Salah scored his second of the night.

For Liverpool's fourth and final goal, teenage substitute Hannibal Mebjri - who put in a commendable effort during his cameo - was cheaply dispossessed by Andy Robertson in the build-up, allowing Diogo Jota to play Salah through on goal. But Mejbri's error could have been avoided altogether, as Maguire gave him a hospital pass which put him under pressure to take the ball down and release it quickly. Post-match, Keane took aim at the 28-year-old and lamented the fact he had praised him ahead of the game.
