Manchester United legend Roy Keane has sympathy for captain Harry Maguire.
Keane, who won nearly every available honour at United in the 1990s and 2000s, has been outspoken in his criticism of the team over the past decade.
He was asked about Maguire's struggles this season, with the England defender making several individual errors and failing to live up to his impressive displays from last term.
Speaking on LadBible TV in partnership with Sky Bet, he said: "I feel sorry for Maguire.
"If you go into a big club… it's like, imagine if when I came to Man United when I was 20 or 21, quite young, and they went, "Oh, you're the captain".
"I'd be thinking, "That doesn't say much about the rest of the group!"
"Surely someone has got to be at the club a number of years to be captain. (Who should be captain) at United now? The fact we've got to discuss it or think about it is not good. It's not good.
"Well, it's not good that Maguire's got it because he was only new to the club himself a couple of years ago. He was still getting used to (the club) and then all of a sudden he's got that extra responsibility when he was trying to find his feet."
