Former Arsenal and England centre-back Martin Keown has sprung to the defence of Manchester United captain Harry Maguire following a challenging 2021/22 campaign for the defender.
The United skipper, who joined the club from Leicester City for £80million back in August 2019, experienced a hugely underwhelming campaign, littered with below-par performances and costly errors. He looked a shadow of the player that had performed so heroically to help England reach the final of the European Championship last summer.
Following the signing of Raphael Varane, it was anticipated that Maguire's game would only grow stronger, as he had been joined by a world-class centre-half in the heart of United's defence. However, he experienced a campaign to forget.
