Elmohamady slams ex-Hull pal Maguire: He's not Man Utd standard | OneFootball

Ahmed Elmohamady has slammed Manchester United captain and former Hull City teammate Harry Maguire.

Elmohamady and Maguire were team-mates for three seasons at Hull from 2014 to 2017.

Speaking to beIN Sports, Elmohamady has claimed that Maguire "can't handle" the pressure of the armband.

He said: "Harry was with me in Hull City and, in my opinion, he doesn't have the level to be the Manchester United captain.

"Man United need a player with a strong personality and I hope that the next manager will give the captaincy to Ronaldo if he stays.

"Ronaldo can handle this responsibility and pressure; however, Maguire can't handle this pressure.

"So I think that the pressure he has by wearing the captain's armband is affecting his performances.

"Maguire performed really well with Leicester, a team that competes to be in the top six of the Premier League and maybe this is his level.

"He doesn't have the level to play for the biggest team in the history of England."
