Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney believes that the "Red Devils" defender Harry Maguire should be in the starting lineup.

Harry Maguire

— Harry should be in the starting lineup. I heard Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink say that the England national team missed Maguire at Euro 2024. I was sitting there thinking, how is he not playing in the trio of defenders in the starting lineup? He needs to be there, there is a lack of leadership on the pitch, — said Wayne Rooney.

Additionally, after 4 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United is in 14th place with 4 points to their name.
