Manchester United fans have been upset with Harry Maguire after his catastrophic first-half performance against Atalanta in the Champions League.
Maguire was to bear responsibility for both goals, which put Atalanta up 2-0 at the break congratulations to goals from Mario Pasalic and Merih Demiral.
The worst possible start for Man Utd...

The Italian viewers got the lead thanks to a nearer goal from their Croatian midfielder.
Fans smashed Maguire's defensive position after the Serie A club scored in the fifteenth minute.
Harry Maguire at fault for 6 goals in a row, but you won't hear anything about that from the British media because he scored a header against Sweden 3 years ago

Hope this helps
Atalanta achieved it 2-0 with a set-piece goal from Demiral, who scored after Maguire did lose his man.
Once more, the England international was chastised for his defending.
Maguire restored to play against Leicester City last weekend after being sidelined with an injury.
However, he was unable to make an impact, as his team was defeated 4-2.
