Maguire, 28, was appointed captain of Manchester United less than six months into his stint at Old Trafford. The centre-back has generally been a safe pair of hands at the back. Though his recent displays have left a lot to be desired.
Maguire looked off the pace when struggling against former side Leicester two weeks ago. United would lose 4-2 that day, but worse was to come the weekend after.
The defender was again run ragged against Liverpool, this time contributing to a dismal 5-0 defeat as Liverpool ran riot.
That led to a brutal put-down from talkSPORT host Jason Cundy. However, a report from the Telegraph did give Maguire an out.
They claimed Solskjaer had rushed the defender back from a calf injury by as much as 10 days too early.
Nonetheless, former United title winner, Paul Parker, has insisted Maguire isn’t the right fit for the captain’s armband, irrespective of whether his form picks up.
Parker claimed making Maguire the captain “didn’t make any sense”. He then suggested Solskjaer was suckered into the move because of the colossal £80m transfer fee United paid Leicester.
“Manchester United gave Harry Maguire the captain’s armband too early,” said Parker (via the Mirror). “It surprised a lot of people; it didn’t make any sense and it hasn’t been a good fit from day one.

“With captains, it isn’t about who has the biggest transfer fee or who’s the best player.

“There’s much more to it than that. He isn’t the right player to be a captain of Manchester United at this moment in time and he has a lot in his game that needs rectifying.”

Parker then addressed Maguire’s recent poor performances, adding: “He’s one of those players that, as that Leicester fixture showed, has to be 100 per cent physically, otherwise he isn’t right in the head.

“That’s why he was so bad in that game. I’m just wondering if he pushed to play in that game because it was his old club and he wanted to play in front of the fans there as a Manchester United player.”
