Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was mercilessly booed by the Melbourne crowd during the opening stages of Tuesday's promising friendly win against absentee-hit Crystal Palace.

Just a week after manager Erik ten Hag confirmed the defender would retain the armband, the 29-year-old found himself coming under fire from sections of the crowd in Australia.
