Harry Maguire had another nightmare in a Manchester United shirt with some comical defending against Southampton.Armando Broja, 20, ran the experienced centre-half ragged at Old Trafford in the 1-1 Premier League draw.The latest damaging result for United highlighted their frailties at the back once again.Just days after Burnley’s Jay Rodriguez and Wout Weghorst destroyed Maguire for their equaliser at Turf Moor, Southampton enjoyed inflicting similar pain on the United captain.One incident in particular a few minutes before the final whistle summed up the Red Devils defender’s problems.Broja turned him inside out in a tussle at the Saints broke, showing how far off the pace Maguire is right now.Fans of United and rival clubs mocked the England man, as one joked on Twitter: “I’ve seen milk turn faster.”Another asked: “How is this Carthorse still playing in the PL?”“Harry Maguire has invented no-look defending,” one person posted off the back of Broja’s neat turn. Does Harry Maguire now have to be dropped?

I have never seen this before.”One wrote: “Chants of 'attack, attack, attack" coming from the United fans, what's this the SuperBowl?.” Another took aim at Ralf Rangnick: “Attack, attack, attack” for the first time in the stadium today. First time since Mourinho.
