  • Manchester United defender and captain Harry Maguire continues to earn the ire of fans for his poor performances
  • The England centre-back failed to redeem himself as the Red Devils somehow managed to avoid defeat against the Premier League's bottom-placed team, Newcastle United
  • His football skills were compared unfavourably to livestock among other things as Mzansi social media's Man United contingent expressed its displeasure at his performance

Mzansi' Manchester United fanbase on social media continues to hammer captain Harry Maguire.

The Red Devils played out an insipid 1-1 draw against bottom-of-the log Newcastle United in the Premier League and Maguire was one of the many United players who disappointed.

However, the England centre-back had already been delivering disaster-class performances all season, so he was under more scrutiny than his teammates. Social media let him have it.

@Kgauza_SM said:

"The defence is all over the place. Maguire simply failing to rally the troops. He hides behind the brilliance of De Gea."

@EricanSA said:

"Why is Maguire still playing for Man United, let alone still the captain, he doesn’t deserve it."

@brent2708 said:

"#NEWMUN Never before has an @ManUtd captain & defender been so easily dummied and beaten on the pitch! @HarryMaguire93 is an embarrassment! #MaguireOut. @NUFC played with passion! #ManUtd looks confused & leaderless!"

@RomanBrady07 said:

"Please sell @HarryMaguire93 @ManUtd he is really really bad! #NEWMUN"

@LethuMkhwanazi said:

"Harry Maguire. Absolutely awful."

@dlamini_ZT1 said:

@HarryMaguire93 must be stripped the captaincy, he really does not deserve that @ManUtd arm belt not at all. #MUFC

The team takes on Burnley on Thursday night, and Maguire appears to have a hard task winning back fans who appear fed up beyond redemption with his performances.
