Ole Gunnar Solskjaer blamed for Harry Maguire woes as Jason Cundy suggests Tottenham boss Antonio Conte would fix Manchester United defender who ‘looks like he’s staggering home from the pub’

Manchester United might’ve cruised to a 3-1 victory over Burnley – but it was yet another miserable night for Harry Maguire.

Despite his team’s dominance, the Red Devils skipper still looked a considerable distance off the pace.

Following widespread criticism from fans and pundits alike this season, Maguire’s display on Thursday night was fiercely scrutinised on social media.

It’s the 12th time in 16 games that United have failed to keep a Premier League clean sheet with the England international in defence this season – and talkSPORT host Jason Cundy was staggered by his performance against Burnley.

The former Chelsea striker said: “He looked like he was staggering home from the pub at about quarter-past-twelve on New Year’s Day!

“He was all over the place.”

As one of United’s most expensive ever signings, the £80million man’s abject season is all the more frustrating.

Maguire was one of the worst performers under Solskjaer earlier in the campaign

However, Cundy insists Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – who was sacked by the Red Devils in November – is responsible for Maguire’s alarming dip in form.

Cundy added: “I think he’s been let down by Solskjaer, in all honesty. I don’t think that’s helped him at all.

“I don’t know how Ralf Rangnick is going to turn him into a better player, but we will see.

“I don’t think he [Solskjaer] coached them tactically. If Antonio Conte had Harry Maguire, he would be in the middle of a back three, you would see a performance from him.

“You would see the player I saw at Hull and Leicester.”

"I have no problem now, obviously, I knew it already for longer that I will have to announce it at one point, but I am absolutely fine now.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
