Rio Ferdinand defends struggling United captain Harry Maguire

Harry Maguire has been phenomenal for England under Gareth Southgate.

The United skipper has been immensely crucified for his performance this season and he has been the pillar of defence that conceded 42 goals in 31 games.

But he has always performed at the elite level for the national team playing a huge role for England in the Euro 2020 last summer.

Rio Ferdinand drew comparison with Pique’s struggle who failed to make an impact at Manchester United under Alex Ferguson.

‘In an England shirt he’s been nothing but phenomenal. He’s been unreal. You can’t say he’s a dead player, he’s been unbelievable for England,’ said Ferdinand on his Vibe with FIVE YouTube show.

‘What I’m saying is, for England he’s been great, but they play a particular way of football that probably suits him.

‘Gerard Pique was at Man United, you could argue that he might not have had the career that he’s had at Barcelona if he stayed at Man United because of the way he plays.

‘It’s like boxing, styles make fights – it’s the same in football. The way of Man United’s football, and the way that they are trying to play, hasn’t suited him.’
