Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has confessed an online blunder involving Cristiano Ronaldo.

Maguire reacted to a post about United's reported 25 per cent pay cuts after missing out on next season's Champions League.

He was quick to respond to the outrage on Wednesday afternoon, admitting to BBC Sport that he did like the photo - but immediately removed it because he had clicked in error.

SportBible's post on Instagram was a picture of Ronaldo, alongside a caption explaining that he is 'reportedly upset with the 25% wage cut given to Manchester United players' at the end of the season.

Underneath the post, it has been liked by Maguire's official account.
