Breaking news: As Manchester United after a disappointing lose to Manchester city , appoints new captain over maguire and angry Ronaldo ,will this era be good ?

 Harry Maguire was mocked mercilessly

 on social media after another dismal 

performance from the Man Utd captain 

in the Manchester derby defeat on Sunday.

Man City defeated their rivals 4-1 at 

the Etihad to reopen a six-point lead at 

the top of the table over Liverpool, although

 Jurgen Klopp’s men have a game in hand.

There was no doubt who the star of the

 show was for City as Kevin de Bruyne 

ran riot for the home side.

He scored City’s first two goals and 

delivered the assist for Riyad Mahrez’s 

third goal.

There was also no doubt who the 

flop of the match was as Man Utd captain

 Maguire really struggled for his team.

He was at fault for City’s second and 

third goals. For De Bruyne’s second 

on 28 minutes, which restored City’s lead

 after Jadon Sancho’s equaliser, Maguire 

bizarrely allowed the ball to go through 

his legs when he could have cleared it. 

This resulted in Phil Foden seeing his 

shot saved before De Bruyne struck 

home the rebound.

For City’s third goal on 68 minutes 

that ended any chances United had of a 

comeback, Maguire failed to properly 

block Mahrez’s scuffed shot from De 

Bruyne’s corner and it flicked into the net.

Maguire was also booked for a rough 

tackle and it came as no surprise that 

he was mocked on Twitter.

There has been a big debate this season

 over whether Maguire should have his 

captain’s armband taken off him due to 

his poor leadership and even poorer 

performances.

As mentioned before, Maguire made 

errors for both City’s second and third goals.

Some feel he should have done better

 in closing Mahrez down.

And, inevitably, fans made reference 

to Maguire’s astronomical transfer fee, 

with Man United spending a world record

 £80 million for a defender to get him 

from Leicester in 2019.
