Harry Maguire Admits He Accidentally Liked Ronaldo’s Instagram Post

Harry Maguire has been left red-faced after admitting he liked an Instagram post regarding Cristiano Ronaldo’s displeasure over wage cuts at Man United, before hastily claiming he did it by accident.

Fans have criticized Maguire and questioned his qualifications as captain following the humiliating incident, in which he commented to a tweet about United’s rumored 25% wage reduction after missing out on the Champions League next season.

On Wednesday afternoon, Maguire was quick to allay the fury, saying he did enjoy the photo, but promptly deleted it since he had clicked on it by accident.

Following his social media gaffe, calls for the England defender to be stripped of the captaincy at Old Trafford have intensified after a disappointing season.

The Instagram post featured a photo of Ronaldo with a statement stating that he is ‘reportedly dissatisfied with the 25 percent wage decrease offered to Manchester United players’ at the end of the season.

Underneath the message, Maguire’s official account has liked it, which has infuriated United supporters over his decision to publicly address a private matter.

One fan said, “Harry Maguire shouldn’t play another game for Manchester United,” while another added, “A joke of a captain,” identifying the player in the tweet.

Another equally outraged admirer remarked, “Harry Maguire is by far the worst captain Manchester United has ever had.” Represents the dismal standards of the club.

While another commented, “Harry Maguire’s love of such posts is unethical behavior,” He is in no way qualified to lead Manchester United!’

This is the latest problem that United’s new manager Erik ten Hag has had to deal with since the team resumed preseason training.

The absence of Ronaldo, who has refused to return to Carrington in pursuit of a summer transfer, has already overshadowed the week.
