Harry Maguire was among the followers who wrote messages beneath the video posted by Flex after being harassed. Maguire did not play on Sunday because he is still healing from his injury. His most recent appearances were in the goalless draw at Aston Villa on October 6, and he has been out of commission for a number of weeks.
However, the former Red Devils captain might return prior to the international break. There is still a chance he will recover in time to play on Sunday against Leicester at Old Trafford. Prior to new manager Ruben Amorim taking over, the game will be Ruud van Nistelrooy’s final game as interim manager.
United and the Blues drew 1-1 while Maguire was away. Four minutes later, Moises Caicedo cancelled off Bruno Fernandes’ penalty in the second half. With 12 points from their first 10 games, United is now 13th in the Premier League as a result of the outcome.
