Garragher hits out at Onana for lashing out at Maguire

Jamie Garragher has come to the defense of Harry Maguire, claiming the English international has taken so much criticism that it is impossible to respond to teammates’ actions.

One such example is goalkeeper Andre Onana, who blasted the defender during a pre-season friendly against Borussia Dortmund.

Maguire has come under extra pressure after an own goal against Scotland and Garagher believes his teammates must show more respect to their former captain.

“I’m well aware of Onana being demonstrative at all his clubs, and I like the fact he communicates,” said Carragher.

“But to carry on like that in a pre season game when you’ve been at the club two mins, to the club captain, was way over the top.”

“Any player worth their salt (Keane, Vidic, Rio, Stam…and me!) would have told him where to go & to get back in his goal.”
