Manchester United: Man United fans lash at Captain Harry Maguire for liking a post
SportBible posted a picture of Ronaldo, alongside a caption explaining that he is ‘reportedly upset with the 25% wage cut given to Manchester United players’ after their failure to qualify for next season’s Champions League’.
Underneath the post, it has been liked by Maguire’s official account, leading to much anger from United fans at his decision to publicly react to a behind-the-scenes issue.
One fan wrote: ‘Harry Maguire shouldn’t play one more game for Manchester United,’ while another added: ‘A joke of a captain,’ before tagging the player himself.
One other equally furious supporter added: ‘Harry Maguire is easily the worst player to captain Manchester United. Embodies the awful standards at the club.’
While another noted: ‘Harry Maguire liking posts like these is what you call unprofessional behaviour. He is no way fit to be Manchester United’s captain!’
Manchester United: Will Cristiano Ronaldo leave Man United?
This latest incident is just the latest for new boss Erik ten Hag to deal with after United’s return to pre-season training. The week has already been dominated by the absence of Ronaldo, who has refused to return to Carrington as he bids to engineer a summer move away.
Citing ‘family reasons’, the Portuguese has not joined back up with his team-mates after the summer break, leaving the likes of Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Napoli on red alert.
At the end of the week, United will fly to Bangkok to face Liverpool in their opening match of pre-season, before heading Down Under for games against Melbourne Victory, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.
They then return to Europe for a showdown with Atletico Madrid in Oslo, although it is yet to be seen whether Ronaldo is present for any of the five matches.
