Troy Deeney has claimed Harry Maguire's agent ranted at him over the phone complaining about his criticism of the Man United star on talkSport - telling the Watford legend he 'wouldn't say it to his face'.
Deeney was still with Watford in 2020 when he singled out Maguire after Paul Pogba emerged as the scapegoat for United's difficult season under then-boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - stressing that the club captain deserved to take more stick.
The forward - now with Birmingham - had been working as a pundit for the radio station before his words struck a nerve with Maguire's representative Kenneth Shepherd, who called him after the player had arrived at training.
