Maguire is having his toughest season yet at Man United Man United v Brighton: What has been said?

Alan Shearer believes Cristiano Ronaldo is being made a scapegoat for United’s woes when their defending is truly to blame.

Meanwhile, ex-Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara has labeled Ralf Rangnick an ‘imposter’.

O’Hara told talkSPORT: “For me, Ralf is a complete imposter at the football club. I don’t know what this guy is doing there.

“He looks like a school teacher on the sideline. I remember having remembered someone like him manage me at Dartford District, it’s that bad.

“The players have seen right through this guy. It’s embarrassing to even watch him on the sideline.

“I’ve never seen anything like it at Manchester United. They’re completely flat, completely lost, and the players have got no confidence in the manager.

“It’s showing in the pitch, they’ve got no confidence in themselves, it’s a bunch of individuals. Get a proper manager in there, a top manager, and I guarantee you will see better performances and better results.”
