Rio Ferdinand has accused Erik ten Hag of “taking the p***” out of Harry Maguire by playing Luke Shaw at centre-back ahead of him for Manchester United.
Shaw has been moved from his usual position at left-back into central defence for three of United’s last four games and has earned rave reviews from Ten Hag. His positional change has had the effect of further sidelining Maguire, who has been stuck on the substitutes’ bench despite being club captain.
Maguire has started just four Premier League matches this season, with injuries affecting his start to the campaign. He played well for England at the World Cup, yet has not seen his status at United restored upon his return.
