Manchester United Fans Criticize Harry Maguire for Injuring Anthony Martial
Manchester United fans have expressed their disappointment towards Harry Maguire after he appeared to injure his teammate Anthony Martial during their match against Sevilla on Thursday.
The Europa League quarter-final match saw United lose 3-0 to Sevilla, with their aggregate score being 5-2 in favour of the Spanish team.
Difficult Night for Maguire
Maguire struggled throughout the match, making a poor pass that led to Sevilla’s opener and appearing to collide with Martial during the second half.
The collision left Martial writhing in agony on the floor, while Maguire and Marcel Sabitzer were defending a corner.
To add insult to injury, Loic Bade headed in Sevilla’s second goal just a few minutes after the interval.
Fans React to Maguire’s Performance
Manchester United fans took to social media to express their displeasure with Maguire’s performance.
Some of them criticized him for injuring Martial, who has been struggling with injuries throughout the season.
One fan tweeted that Maguire “can’t do anything” after injuring Martial, while another called him a “calamity.”
Maguire’s Role in United’s Future
Despite the criticism, Maguire is expected to play a key role in United’s remaining matches, especially with the absence of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane.
United’s remaining fixtures include an FA Cup semi-final against Brighton & Hove Albion and eight more Premier League matches.
Although they are currently third in the league and six points clear of fifth place, their exit from the Europa League means that the FA Cup is their only chance for another piece of silverware this season.
