Maguire Needs Rest

Manchester United centre-back Harry Maguire could benefit by being rested by his club, says ex-Red Devils defender Rio Ferdinand.

Maguire, 27, was sent off for England against Denmark on Wednesday as his struggles continued following his arrest in Greece during pre-season.

His side’s next game is at Newcastle United on Saturday (kick-off 8pm).
“In these situations – that I’ve been in as well – you sometimes need to be taken out of the oven,” said Ferdinand.

“(Manchester United manager) Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer) has a big job on his hands and I think quite an important role to play in this.

“Whether maybe it’s time to give him a little rest, let him gather himself and build that confidence back up.

“I got brought off in one game, I think it was Middlesbrough away, the manager [Sir Alex Ferguson] spoke to me and said ‘get yourself back to basics, train well and you’ll come back in’.

“That’s what happened and I was fine. It’s just sometimes that bit of pressure being taken out that can actually help you.” BBC
