Nemanja Matic believes that the brutal criticism and sickening abuse which Harry Maguire has had to deal with on social media has affected his form at Manchester United.
Maguire, 30, is enduring his most difficult season with the Red Devils, currently finding himself as fifth-choice centre-back under boss Erik ten Hag. Still club captain and a stalwart for his country, the defender is eager to prove himself at Old Trafford, nearly four years on from his record-breaking £80million transfer from Leicester, but his future is under threat ahead of the summer transfer window.
Matic, who played alongside Maguire for the 30-year-old's first three seasons at United, has admitted that his ex-team-mate's situation "doesn't look great," but has also told him that he can turn things around in a matter of weeks.
