Former Tottenham midfielder turned pundit Rafael van der Vaart has aimed yet another brutal dig at Manchester United club captain Harry Maguire.
Maguire has struggled for game time at Old Trafford this season, with Erik ten Hag favouring Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez in the heart of defence.
He has been limited to just 10 Premier League appearances this season, with only two of those coming since the Qatar World Cup came to an end.
Maguire's lack of game time has led to mass speculation surrounding his future, with the 30-year-old rumoured with a move away from the Red Devils.

The defender became the latest target of former Netherlands international, Van de Vaart, who aimed yet another unnecessary jibe at Maguire, who has been subject to regular attacks from the retired midfielder.

Speaking after Paris Saint Germain's 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday, Van der Vart referred to the changes in Bayern defender Matthijs de Light's fitness, comparing his previous figure to Maguire's.
He said (quotes via Voetbal International): “During his [De Ligt's] time at Juventus, if a ball was played deep and he had to turn, he looked like Harry Maguire… Now he is back in his old figure.
“If you have a talent like that, you have to build on it. Together with Virgil van Dijk, I think he is the best defender we have in the Netherlands.
“You can just see that he is more agile, more nimble. I think it really has to do with his own fitness. It’s much sharper, it’s just there. He is much fitter and feels much better, he no longer has that mass.”
Maguire has been rumoured with a surprise move to PSG this summer.
The Sun report that the Ligue 1 side are targeting the England international as they look to add to their defence, with Sergio Ramos' contract expiring at the end of the season.
