Liverpool fans jumped onto the Twittersphere to share their thoughts on a calamitous error from Harry Maguire during Manchester United’s Premier League meeting with Leicester City.
Receiving a pass from shotstopper David de Gea, the centre-half seemed oblivious to onrushing opponent Kelechi Iheanacho with the Nigerian snatching away possession before assisting the Foxes’ equaliser.

The scoreline remains level at the time of writing, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men hoping to correct their recent poor run of domestic results.
It’s a pretty bad error from the English international, and it’s not hard to see why several fans online have suggested that the 28-year-old would struggle to break past Jurgen Klopp’s selection of top centre-halves.
To be fair to Maguire, on his day he’s a perfectly good option to utilise, though we certainly wouldn’t trade the Red Devil for any one of our current defensive options.
As far as comparisons go, there’s simply no contest when it comes to the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip, as the pair have proven to be a powerful combination in the heart of our backline this term.
