Michael Owen savages 'embarrassing, petrified' Harry Maguire over his performance against Southampton, adding 'I fear for him, he's got no pace, he was outwitted'

Former Manchester United star Michael Owen slams Harry Maguire's lack of pace as his real problem after the club captain was tormented by Southampton striker Armando Broja during Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

Maguire has struggled badly since returning from his exploits at Euro 2020, where he helped England reach their first final of a major tournament since 1966.

The 28-year-old, who joined The Red Devils for £80million back in 2019, has come under intense pressure all season for his performances.
