Brendan Rodgers claims Harry Maguire criticism has been 'created by' Man United fans as the ex-Leicester boss praises his former player's 'strength' amid mass scrutiny

Brendan Rodgers has given his former player Harry Maguire his full support and backing, as well as suggesting that much of the criticism surrounding the player might have been created by 'his own club's supporters'.

The Manchester United centre back has been under the microscope at Old Trafford for the last 12 months, after falling down the pecking order at the club and being stripped of the captaincy.

However, he has continued to be picked by Gareth Southgate - for whom he has consistently been a good performer and has had great success, playing a key role in the sides that reached the Euro 2020 final and 2018 World Cup semi-final.
