English newspapers were merciless with the Red Devils (and Maguire in particular) after the sacking

Harry Maguire and David De Gea were backlashed by the British press after Manchester United’s heavy defeat and elimination from the Europa League conference in Seville.

A bad day for Harry Maguire and David De Gea after a nightmare night at Sanchez-Pizjuan. The Spain goalkeeper and England defender were inundated with headlines in the British press during Manchester United’s heavy 3-0 defeat against Sevilla FC in the second leg of the Europa League.

With “Vince Harry” (to succeed frowning object), the Daily Star It’s funny to hijack Prince Harry’s title to highlight Harry Maguire’s mistake on Erik Lamela’s (8th) opener. The Dailymail Cursing his bad luck, he chose the reference to “howlers” in Harry Potter. Also measured, Guardian, on its site, insists that the English captain’s “andus horriblelis” notwithstanding. The Mirror Sport At the end of the game (81st) David De Coyne emphasized his side’s failed exit: “Manchester United were terrible but De Gea was terrible”.

“De Gea’s legs are not good”

Former England international Owen Hargreaves, who spent time at Manchester United between 2007 and 2011, joined the concert of criticism against the Spanish goalkeeper. “De Gea is not good with his legs. Does he fit in with Ten Hoag’s philosophy? Based on what happened today, no,” he managed on BT Sport.

His former selector Jamie Carragher for his part wanted to play down Jadon Sancho’s performance, replacing him with Marcus Rashford: “Anthony has done more in six months than Sancho has in two years. However, Anthony is the subject of a lot of criticism. And Sancho gets a lot less.”

Scholes wants to get something positive out of it

In this slump, Paul Scholes does not want to push the club. For the former midfielder, this defeat should not change his faith in Erik den Haag, but should force the club to make decisions for the transfer window: “This evening allowed den Haag to form an opinion about some of these players. The only good thing that comes out of all this is that when you have injuries the team is not good enough. It shows that this team can cope with other encounters, but this was a decisive match, a great evening, it didn’t rise to the task, the quality drops a step when the best players are not in condition. (…) We’ve had somewhat disastrous nights throughout the season, but ten I feel like Hawke is doing the right thing and we’re moving forward. The right direction.”
