Martin Keown: Manchester United's midfield is the real problem, not Harry Maguire.
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown believes that Manchester United's midfield is the main reason for their poor start to the season. He says that teams can "drive buses" through the midfield, and that this has made it difficult for the defense to protect the goal. Keown also says that Harry Maguire is not the problem, and that he has been scapegoated by the fans.
Keown's comments come after United's 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on Saturday. The Gunners dominated the midfield, and Maguire was one of the few United players who could be held blameless for the loss.
Keown is not the first person to criticize United's midfield. Former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was also criticized for his handling of the midfield, and new manager Erik ten Hag will need to find a solution to the problem if he is to turn things around.
