Some Manchester United supporters slammed those inside the Melbourne Cricket Ground tha booed Harry Maguire's every touch in the opening exchanges of Tuesday's pre-season friendly with Crystal Palace.
The United skipper, who was named in the starting line-up for the second game running, was booed by some supporters in attendance before the match had even kicked-off. He was booed and jeered when the public address system read out his name when confirming United's starting line-up.
Following kick-off, every touch of the ball he had was greeted with a loud chorus of boos. He passed the ball out of play with just 40 seconds on the clock, increasing the volume of the boos.

Conversely, Maguire was cheered during Friday's win over Melbourne Victory at the same stadium. Although there was not universal opposition to the boos on Twitter, some supporters did share their disappointment with the reception the captain received.
