"He Is Far Better Than Some"- Souness Tips Maguire To 'Dislodge' Varane Or Lisandro From Man United Lineup

Graeme Souness spoke about Harry Maguire ahead of Man United's clash against Nottingham Forest and had words of appreciation for the defender.

"I have to say, I am also pleased for Harry Maguire," said Souness about Maguire in light his World Cup performances.

"He was much maligned going into the tournament by people who find it easy to criticise. He is far better than some folk make out.

"He had a very good World Cup and the challenge for him now is to dislodge one of the centre-halves at Man United, Raphael Varane or Lisandro Martinez. I think he is more than capable of doing that."

It's rare to see Graeme Souness speak positively of a Man United player but he might be getting ahead of himself in saying that Maguire could dislodge Varane or Martinez from the starting XI.

Going by Ten Hag's past team selections, even Lindelof gets in ahead of Maguire if either Varane or Lisandro are unavailable. It remains to be seen if Maguire's World Cup performances have done enough to change that.
