Nemanja Vidic, a former Manchester United center back, believes Harry Maguire’s subpar performances make it impossible for him to command the “respect” of the team’s locker room.
Despite having to hand the armband to other players for a significant portion of the season, Harry Maguire is still the current club captain at Old Trafford.
After a number of disappointing performances the previous season, the England international has only made seven Premier League starts this year under Erik ten Hag.
He hasn’t performed poorly when called upon this season, but Man Utd supporters demonized him after a recent error in their 3-0 loss to Sevilla.
Additionally, given the injuries to starters Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, Red Devils supporters will likely have to put up with him through the remainder of the campaign.
There are rumors that Maguire will leave in the summer transfer window in order to receive more playing time, and Nemanja Vidic has explained why the former Leicester City defender has had such a difficult time assuming the captain’s role at Old Trafford.
On Rio Ferdinand’s Vibe with FIVE YouTube channel, Man Utd legend Nemanja Vidic said: “Maguire has a problem because he doesn’t perform well. When you don’t perform well it’s difficult to say to someone what to do. I think that Maguire is doing well for the national team, he was great for Leicester.
In a related news, Alejandro Garnacho reportedly wants to represent Argentina at the U20 World Cup in May, even if it means missing Manchester United’s FA Cup final.
It was made known that United had reservations about allowing Garnacho to travel for the competition, which begins on May 20 at home.
This is because of their crucial stretch of league games to clinch Champions League eligibility and, perhaps more importantly, an FA Cup final date against Manchester City on June 3 to prevent their rivals from winning the treble.
