Man Utd fans back Maguire throughout Leicester draw

Manchester United fans gave captain Harry Maguire a warm welcome back for Saturday's 1-1 draw with Leicester City.

United fans sang Maguire's name in a show of support for their under-pressure captain ahead of the team's game against Leicester on Saturday after a difficult week for the defender.

Maguire was booed by a section of supporters prior to England's clash with Ivory Coast on Tuesday at Wembley.

He went on to help Gareth Southgate's side keep a clean sheet as they eased to a 3-0 victory, and he was backed by Ralf Rangnick and Wayne Rooney after the incident.

There were some jeers when Maguire's name was announced in the lead-up to the game, although these may have come from Leicester fans, given that he previously played for the Foxes between 2017 and 2019.

However, those murmurs of discontent were drowned out by the majority of the crowd.
