There have always been some thinly veiled criticisms thrown his way since his world record move to Manchester United, but Harry Maguire has become quite the subject of ridicule this season.
While he has been prone to a mistake throughout his time at Old Trafford, his form has fallen off a cliff last summer. Supporters at both club and international level have directed jeers in his direction in recent weeks.
Maguire is a big name in England, although some on the continent may not understand why he is such an influential character.
Alphonso Davies throws Harry Maguire dig
That certainly appears to be the case with Alphonso Davies. During a recent Twitch stream in which the Canada international was playing FIFA 22, he couldn't help but throw a dig Maguire's way after getting him in a pack.
In summary, he couldn't understand how Cristiano Ronaldo must feel when the former Leicester City man has more authority than him in the Manchester United dressing room.
“Imagine being Ronaldo and Harry Maguire is your captain”

Can you guys imagine? Take this in, you're Ronaldo, one of the greatest players ever in the 21st century, and what's his name is your captain? Harry Maguire is your captain.
You refer to him as 'yes cap'. I don't know what he says to him. Getting leadership (from Maguire)? Bro.
I'm not dissing Harry Maguire, but Ronaldo should get the armband man.
It has been reported in recent times that Maguire's captaincy has been an issue for Ronaldo, who is rumoured to want the armband for himself. The result has been an apparent split in the dressing room as players take both sides in the debate.
Maguire will certainly keep the position for the rest of this season, although it remains to be seen if the next Manchester United will look to shake things up in that regard this summer.
