    Harry Maguire’s huge blunder has seen Manchester United fans call for his sale “as soon as possible”.

    The centre-back was included in Erik ten Hag’s starting line-up for the pre-season friendly against Athletic Club on Sunday.

    There was some clamour on social media over the Dutchman’s decision to not name Maguire captain for the fixture in the absence of Bruno Fernandes, instead opting to give Tom Heaton the armband.

    But Maguire failed to prove his manager wrong, making a costly error which led to Bilbao taking the lead 29 minutes into the match in Dublin.

    Maguire received the ball from full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka infield before playing a poor pass, which was intercepted by the pressing opposition forwards. Bilbao then broke away with an incisive through ball which was missed by goalkeeper Andre Onana, as Nico Williams tucked away the chance.

    And Red Devils fans immediately took to Twitter to vent, writing: “Just get Harry Maguire out of my damn club!!! Dude is absolutely clueless whether he's captain or not.”

    Another tweeted: “I swear he can not play. If he won’t leave United, for the love of God take him out with a clean sweep. Season over for him.”

    A third added: “Maguire shouldn’t be a footballer, this guy is horrible,” while a fourth commented: “Maguire is so so shaky at the back.”

    And a fifth fumed: “Ten Hag needs to sell this guy asap, head gone man.”

    It comes after the 30-year-old was scolded by teammate Onana against Borussia Dortmund last month for his role in giving the ball away. The shot-stopper shouted at Maguire as his sloppy pass to Christian Eriksen allowed Dortmund to intercept the ball and counter, with Onana sparing the veteran his blushes on that occasion.
