Liverpool legend came down hard on player 

In his Daily Telegraph column, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher spoke about Manchester United captain Harry Maguire, who was once again at the centre of criticism after two errors that cost him a 3-3 draw against Germany and relegation to League B: conceding a penalty and giving the ball away for Havertz's first goal.

The former Liverpool centre-back believes "it is too late" for Maguire to save his Manchester career, as "too often it seems as if the weight of the world is on his shoulders, as if he is a scared little bunny rather than the authoritative centre-back he was". Even his place in England "may be untenable".

Carragher believes Harry Maguire should take responsibility for leaving United for a "fresh start" and raises doubts over whether he should be part of the England squad for the World Cup in Qatar in a month and a half. Carragher questioned whether Maguire has the mental capacity and fighting spirit to turn things around. He even posed the question: "Do you still have that same fury in you?" he wrote in his Daily Telegraph column.

Maguire was booed at Wembley by England fans when the public address system called his name in the build-up to Monday night's UEFA Nations League final match against Germany, where he was the negative protagonist in two of the three away goals, which ultimately sealed England's relegation to League B.

With Varane and Lisandro Martinez entrenched at the back in Manchester, with Erik ten Hag having less and less confidence in the Englishman and with the bad statistics that follow him saying that every time Maguire plays the team loses and when he does not play, the club is unbeaten, it is difficult to see him regaining his place in the Red Devils' starting line-up.
