Jamie Carragher Gives Fascinating Break Down Of Harry Maguire's Role In Atletico Madrid Goal

"He is going through the worst moment in his career right now. We all have that moment, I can picture it now when I was playing.

"This is something that Harry Maguire is going through right now and he has to get out of it very quickly otherwise he won’t be at the club because the standards at Manchester United are so high."

Carragher added: "Of course he wants to [get out of it] but his head will be all over the place, he is getting criticism left right and centre. He’ll be criticised again – I think the crowd actually cheered when he went off. Which isn’t a nice thing for anyone.

"I’ve always been a fan of Harry Maguire. He gets criticised because he cost £80m. Virgil van Dijk cost £75m and is the best defender in the world.

"Harry Maguire is not that but he doesn’t set the price. He had a great summer with England at the Euros but this season has been a disaster and he almost just needs to get to the end of the season and just forget about football and get away.

"He's having a really tough time. And every decision he makes, he's probably overthinking it."

"The manager has shown faith in him to keep playing him considering the form he's been in. For me, the worry is what does this say about [Victor] Lindelof?

"When he's played, Lindelof has done okay. Nice and steady, not many mistakes. It seems everything Harry is doing has turned into an absolute disaster."

Rio Ferdinand, who was in the BT studio alongside Scholes, also gave his thoughts on the Maguire situation. "I think Rangnick is giving him the chance to perform.

"He's the captain of the football club. Captains at football clubs, in general, play. Harry himself will know he's been struggling for form recently - and when it's going against you, you tend to get punished for making mistakes time and time again."
