Harry Maguire is held up on way to training by huge truck as Man Utd star looks to put England boos behind him
HARRY MAGUIRE was held up on his return to Manchester United training.. by a massive truck!
As if the England defender, 29, hadn’t had a difficult enough week, he couldn’t even make it to Carrington without some drama.
The £85million centre-back was booed by fans at Wembley during the 3-0 friendly win over Ivory Coast on Tuesday night amid his difficult season.
Maguire has secretly been playing through the pain barrier this season and has put his hand up to help Man Utd when others have run scared.
Despite that, fans appear to have turned on the former Leicester man.
And on his return to the Aon Training Complex following his return from international duty on Thursday, Maguire was delayed by an advancing lorry.

Bruno Fernandes scored both goals in the 2-0 win as the Portuguese avoided being KO’d by North Macedonia as Euro 2020 champions Italy had just days earlier.
But while Maguire and Luke Shaw enjoyed friendly wins and the Portugal pair breathed a sigh of relief, it was heartbreak for Victor Lindelof.
The centre-back was part of the Sweden side who lost their play-off final 2-0 at the hands of Poland.
A heartbroken Lindelof later moaned “everything just sucks” after admitting he had “no idea” how they managed to lose.
Understandably, the defender looked glum as he drove back to United training.
Man Utd next play on Saturday evening as they host Leicester in the Premier League, with kick-off 5.30pm.
