Chelsea fans tear into Harry 'Dr Slabhead' Maguire as England training pictures emerge of a dangerous tackle attempt against Mason Mount

Chelsea FANS targeted under-fire Harry Maguire for criticism after spotting the defender in training with England.

Harry Maguire has not had the easiest of times to endure this season after struggling for form with Manchester United. And it seems the defender cannot escape criticism at international level either after being targeted on social media by Chelsea fans while on duty with England.

 

The United captain has suffered a dip in form at club level, causing him to be dropped by Ralf Rangnick at times this season. However, he did return to the starting XI for their last three matches against Manchester City, Tottenham and Atletico Madrid.

Speculation persists that United could be set to cut their losses on Maguire, who cost £80million from Leicester City in 2019 — a world record fee for a defender. The Red Devils look set for a summer overhaul with a new permanent manager set to be appointed at the end of the season.

The 29-year-old linked up with the England squad this week after being called up by manager Gareth Southgate for friendlies against Switzerland and Ivory Coast. And it appears he has retained the backing of the Three Lions boss, despite receiving a mixed reception from United fans of late.

“I don’t think it ever crossed our minds not to select Harry Maguire for this squad,” Southgate said. “He has been a key part of the starting XI that got us to a World Cup semi-final and a European Championship final."

But Maguire has been subjected to more criticism and ridicule by fans on social media after images emerged from England’s training camp at St George’s Park. In one image, Maguire can be seen attempting to tackle Chelsea star Mason Mount, only to miss the ball entirely and risk injuring his 23-year-old colleague.

While the image appeared to be innocuous if anything, supporters blasted Maguire’s form and questioned his place in the squad. “Dr. Slabhead is at it again,” one user wrote on Reddit, referring to the nickname given to Maguire by his former team-mate, Jamie Vardy. Umar Shaikh wrote: “How was he even selected? He's been disastrous since forever.”

Another said: “Just hope he doesn't ruin any of his England teammates during training,” while a Chelsea fan made his claim for Tomori to be called up: “Called this clown up instead of Tomori who's at the top of his league.”
