Brendan Rogers blames original Manchester United fans for increased criticism of Harry Maguire

Former Leicester City F.C. manager Brendan Rodgers has shockingly blamed Manchester United’s original fans for the abuse of their star defender Harry Maguire. The English international footballer has been facing relentless criticism and trolling from both his rival’s fans and his own fans.

Brendan Rodgers, who has been recently appointed as the new Celtic manager, has addressed the situation amidst the ongoing controversy and negative comments regarding his poor performances in recent weeks. Rodgers expressed his disbelief at the heavy criticism and pointed toward Harry Maguire, who was once under his coaching at Leicester City.

Brendan Rodgers said, “I find it a real shame that a player who, when he went into Manchester United, found himself really quickly to be the Manchester United captain. I can’t speak highly enough of him. He’s a fantastic man, I see the noise that goes around him. It’s a real shame, it’s just sad where it was created. But he’s tough, he’s mentally strong and he’ll prove throughout the rest of his career that he’s a very, very good player.”

In his revelation, Brendan Rodgers claimed Harry Maguire to be a top-class player with genuine ethics on and off the pitch. Rodgers specifically blamed Manchester United’s fanbase. He boldly pointed toward the original fans of Manchester United and also claimed that Maguire might be facing more criticism and scrutiny from his own club’s supporters.
