Manchester United 1970s hero Gordon Hill has slammed Harry Maguire following his first-half display against Liverpool.
The captain saw his side ship two goals within 22 minutes as United went into the break 2-0 down. Before the match, the 29-year-old had fired back at criticism claiming he was enduring a poor season.
“I’d say from this season, I’ve had some bad games. But I wouldn't be playing every game for Manchester United in the starting XI if I’d been playing bad every game or not playing well enough,” he said. However, Hill seemingly thought his performance in the first 45 minutes against Liverpool proved otherwise. In fact the 68-year-old said Maguire was playing at far beneath the standard expected of a United player.

The former winger tweeted: “Harry (Maguire) not fit enough to wear a United jersey.” Hill played more than 100 times for United between 1975 and 1978, lifting the FA Cup and Community Shield in 1977.
He was the club’s top scorer in the 1977/77 and 1977/78 seasons. The England international also played for the likes of Derby, QPR and Millwall in his career.
