MANCHESTER UNITED fans reckon Harry Maguire has hit a new low after teenage team-mate Dan Gore joined his critics during a hapless display against Athletic Bilbao.

Academy product Dan Gore, 18, appeared to have a word with Maguire for failing to react properly to a pass in a first-half where the 30-year-old also gifted the only goal away.

The deposed England centre-back surrendered possession, which ultimately led to Nico Williams sweeping Athletic in front.

Maguire was booed as the warm-up game in Dublin continued – at the end of a week where United rejected a £20million bid for the defender from West Ham.

But many viewers claimed his worst moment came when Gore intervened.

Some might think that was merely the youngster having the confidence and intensity to speak his mind to any colleague, regardless of age or experience.

But most were less sure, one saying: “How embarrassing when you’re a senior pro at the club and 29 years old getting shouted at by an 18 year old. Harry Maguire has been soooo bad.”

Another argued: “The fact that an academy player is having a go at the captain is enough to make his captaincy the 2nd biggest mistake in United’s history, the first is the Glazers.”

A third suggested: “God he deserves the boos.”

And with Maguire’s future up in the air before next weekend’s Premier League kick-off, a fourth observer posted: “I do not understand why we rejected  the offer from West Ham. We’ll never get anything better than 20m for him.”

Maguire did go someway to redeeming himself by claiming the assist for Facundo Pellistri’s late equaliser as the teams drew 1-1.

Earlier this summer Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag ᵴtriƥped Maguire of the captaincy.

He’s been replaced as skipper by Bruno Fernandes.
