Paul Merson is never one to sit on the fence with his opinions on Manchester United – but in the case of Harry Maguire, the former Arsenal man has been proven right.
Maguire has endured a torrid season for United, with the Reds’ captain regularly finding himself on the end of criticism from fans and pundits alike for his performances. Former United captain Roy Keane has been particularly hard on him over the course of the campaign.
The 29-year-old suffered another day to forget as his side were comfortably brushed aside by Manchester City in the derby on Sunday. Despite giving a good account of themselves in the first half, United were thoroughly outclassed by their neighbours after the break as they fell to a 4-1 defeat at the Etihad.
