Man Utd fans stunned after hearing Ashley Young's latest comments on Harry Maguire

Manchester United fans have been left shocked by Ashley Young's most recent comments about Harry Maguire.

After being substituted on by Gareth Southgate at half-time against Scotland, the 30-year-old inadvertently turned Andy Robertson's low-driven cross into his own net, as things go from bad to worse for the United centre-back.

But Young has launched a passionate defence of his former teammate, even claiming that his performances for the Three Lions have been "unbelievable".

"Of course, when things are not going right for you, like the other day with the own-goal, that's not something he needed.

"But I played with him, I know how good a player he is, what he brings to the team, the squad. I think that when you play for a team like Man United, you know there's pressure non-stop and you're always in the limelight.

The former England international added: "I think he will be ok... The way he is, the person that he is, the mind frame he has and the people he's got around him will be there for him and telling him: 'listen, you're still a fantastic player', which he is, you can't take that away."

However, fans were quick to disagree with Young, labelling his comments "absolute nonsense".

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: "There is no hiding place at United, Youngy. You had a few rough patches, but Maguire has been struggling for a long time now.

"Absolute nonsense Youngy," another added.

"No way he should be starting for England or Man United," a third exclaimed.

"I don’t think I would agree to this, he has been pathetic", a fourth chimed in.

"You have to be having a laugh mate," another wrote.
