Harry Maguire has come under serious scrutiny for some below-par performances; Man Utd interim boss Ralf Rangnick, however, said “In the past two games, yeah he had some weaker moments, against Southampton and when we conceded the goal at Burnley, but he’s our captain and I don’t see any reason to change that.”

Ralf Rangnick insists there is no need to strip Harry Maguire of the Manchester United captaincy despite admitting he has seen “some weaker moments” from the defender in recent matches.
Maguire has come under criticism for several underperformances this season and a section of United supporters have suggested the armband should be taken away from him.
Criticism of the 28-year-old has intensified over the weekend as United surrendered a 1-0 lead for the third game in a row to draw 1-1 against Southampton at Old Trafford, but interim manager Rangnick sees no reason to change his official leader on the pitch.
“I think when he came back after his injury he did extremely well. He had a very good performance, a very good game against West Ham,” Rangnick said.
“In the past two games, yeah he had some weaker moments, against Southampton and when we conceded the goal at Burnley, but he’s our captain and I don’t see any reason to change that.”
