Harry Maguire tells Man Utd flops to learn from David Beckham and Wayne Rooney after barrage of criticism

HARRY MAGUIRE told his team-mates to deal with the pressure of playing for Manchester United — just like David Beckham and Wayne Rooney. The Red Devils are feeling the heat amid a woeful run of two wins in their last eight matches. United have also suffered four defeats in their last five games at Old Trafford.

Maguire said: “I look at the likes of Wayne Rooney and David Beckham. They had a large amount of scrutiny on them and were world-class players. “If it can happen to them, it can happen to anybody. It’s just part and parcel of playing for this club — it’s a huge honour.

“When you’re playing for this club, there’s a lot of scrutiny on the players and you get targeted. “You’ve got to take the responsibility on. We have players who have played numerous games internationally and also won lots of trophies. “But we’re just not playing well enough as a team at the moment.
