Harry Maguire loses his place in Man United team

Maguire's latest blow comes at a time he is fighting to win over Erik ten Hag's faith at Old Trafford.

The United skipper has lost his place in the first team, with Ten Hag preferring the partnership of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez at the heart of his defence.

The former Leicester City star has subsequently been forced to settle for a place on the bench, in a move that has been positively received by the majority of Man United fans.

Meanwhile, the centre-back had a night to forget when he was summoned to the national team, with his mistakes leading to Germany's first two goals.

The match eventually ended in a 3-3 draw, with Chelsea star Kai Havertz scoring late to help Germany settle for a draw.

According to the Daily Mail, Maguire's error for Germany's first goal evoked strong reactions from fans, who felt the defender shouldn't be starting for both club and country.
