Former Manchester City boss Stuart Pearce has slammed Manchester United fans booing captain Harry Maguire.
Pearce was “astounded” after Harry Maguire was loudly booed by fans during Manchester United’s pre-season win against Crystal Palace in Melbourne.
Pearce told talkSPORT: “I’ve been at Wembley when there was a suggestion that that was the case as well. I’m quite astounded. I capped him as an Under-21 player so I know him, not particularly well, but I know him, and he’s a good kid.
“I think what’s happened is that a very, very small minority have started this, the media have picked up on it and all of a sudden it just seems to have grown legs. I’m not sure that some of the people that are booing Harry Maguire really understand why they’re booing him, to be honest. I think a little bit of it is, ‘Everyone’s booing Harry Maguire, so I’m going to join in as well’.”
