Harry Maguire labelled a 'victim' as 'harsh' criticism of Manchester United captain is slammed
25.06.2022 - 18:11 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A former Manchester United defender has jumped to the defence of Harry Maguire after the centre-back was heavily criticised last season.
The club captain was adjudged by many to have had an abject campaign as United finished with their worst-ever Premier League points tally. The 29-year was even booed by a section of England supporters during March’s internationals before he despicably received a bomb threat at his home in April.
Both incidents were condemned by United followers but some still question his leadership skills. A number of supporters believe he should be relinquished of captaincy duty next season.

However, former United defender Wes Brown says the finger-pointing aimed at Maguire last season was harsh, suggesting that many jumped on the bandwagon. “Some of the criticism thrown at Maguire was over the top, but this is how football works these days,” he said, as per the Irish Independent.
“People get on social media, they start wading into players and momentum builds behind that criticism and Harry has been a victim of that. He has been booed by England fans, written off by United supporters on Twitter and it all seems pretty harsh.
“I get it that fans are disappointed, we all were after what we saw last season. So it is inevitable that people will pick out certain players and blame them.”
