Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has hit out at the criticism directed at defender Harry Maguire over the last few weeks.
Maguire lost his spot in the side after Erik ten Hag took over before he was stripped of the captaincy before the start of the current season.

The current campaign has not brought a lot of football for Maguire but he has still managed to get call-ups for the England national side.
However, the 30-year-old came off the bench for England this week and scored an unfortunate own goal in the 3-1 win over rivals Scotland
"I have said many times, that it is disrespectful, doesn't deserve it, he is a great player, gives great performances," Ten Hag said, as per Goal.
"It is crazy but how it works. Harry has to block this. Good, you see his career, a lot to come, he has to block it with good performances.
"It is also with the generation, about team construction, the group dynamic and always about the team, that is above everything else but within that, everyone plays his role, different characters and you have to manage those characters."
