Manchester United: The captain exploded against his teammates

"Be careful and stop giving the damn ball away!" Harry Maguire yelled to Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the middle of Manchester United - West Ham match. The Red Devils took all three points thanks to an own goal by Craig Dawson after a corner kick of Bruno Fernandes, but it was not easy. The Hammers confirmed why they are the big surprise of the season and put Solskjaer's men on the ropes at Old Trafford. The center-back could not contain himself and was heard charging against his teammate.

The winger lost eleven balls and missed nine passes of the 90 he tried, an amount that, although is not too high, the Manchester captain did not like too much, since some were a compromised ball and this made him explode. Solskjaer spoke after the game about the alteration in the dressing room at half-time, acknowledging that the spirits were quite upset: "The first 15 minutes we did not stop giving the ball away all the time. The pressure or the momentum of this is not built. It all revolves around lowering the fumes and gaining composure. Then the chances will appear and you convert them. We didn't get it, but we had a set piece and we scored".

Nevertheless, it is not the first time that Maguire explodes on the field of play. The 28 years old defender had a similar run-in with Marcus Rashford last month. In the match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace, the former Leicester accused the forward for falling offside while trying to hit a header. "What do you want me to do?" Rashford asked. "Go back to your damn place!" His captain replied. "Shut the fuck up," said the ram to settle the exchange of blows.

Manchester United, despite the difficulties and nerves, managed to attack the second place at the league, and confirm themselves as the best of the rest, behind Guardiola's unattainable City and one point ahead of Leicester. Now there are two high tension games in which Maguire will have to test his nerves. This are, the second leg of the Europa League against Milan and the FA Cup quarter finals against Leicester. We will see if sparks fly again.
