Rio Ferdinand slams Harry Maguire and calls on him to step up as Manchester United captain

Rio Ferdinand called on Manchester United captain Harry Maguire to show leadership after his side’s 2-0 defeat to Burnley. Maguire received captain armband after the departure of Ashley Young. Ferdinand called on Matic to show more desire after he failed to win the aerial ball. Speaking on BT Sport, Ferdinand said of Matic: "Go up and win it. Show some desire to go up and win the ball. he shouldn't be losing a header against Ben Mee." He added: "You know that you're not good at set-pieces. 44% of the goals that they've conceded this season have been from set-pieces. It's terrible. Someone's got to go up there and be commanding. Maguire, you're the captain, go and be commanding. "They're all set up, they're all marking their players individually. The first ball is not really where there's the problem. We can see Matic going up for the ball, Ben Mee is there, Tarkowski is there. It's the second ball. Where am I looking? What are you doing there, Maguire? "He's in a great position, he's got his arm out, he can see, he can feel where Wood is. What happens is, he doesn't anticipate it, the ball gets flicked down. You can't be that far off your man there and allow that space, because you're working with people who get one chance and can score goals. He gets in front of him, not close enough, punished. Not good." Source- The Mirror Join us on Telegram!
