The experienced skipper continues to be criticized by supporters despite new coach Erik ten Hag’s faith in him
Manchester United fans singled out Harry Maguire during their pre-season friendly against Crystal Palace on Tuesday. The center-back was booed by the Red Devils supporters whenever he touched the ball in the early stages of the clash
Spectators also targeted the England international when his name was read out as the starting XI was announced before the game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground kicked off.
Maguire had a shaky start to the friendly as the jeers rang out from the stands and he ended up passing the ball out of play inside the first minute.
Maguire was heavily criticized throughout the 2021-22 season as he and United underwhelmed over the course of the campaign.
The center-back display in the 4-1 loss against rivals Manchester City in March was a key moment and resulted in many calls for the captain’s armband to be taken away from him.
