Manchester United's Harry Maguire has received support from his mother who has asked critics to back off from her son

Fans of the Red Devils swarmed the defender's injury announcement with more ill wishes for the centreback and congratulated their team on having a chance against Bayern Munich.
Others were also happy that Maguire was injured, but for different reasons, as they saw this as an opportunity for critics of the English centre-back to see that he was not the cause of the club’s on-going struggles.
Maguire has played only one match for Manchester United this season, coming on during the Red Devils’ 3-1 loss to Arsenal, where he was also blamed for his sides capitulation since they conceded two goals after he was brought on.
