Van der Vaart offers scathing verdict on 'Sunday league' Maguire

The former Spurs player believes the Red Devils defender wasn't worth his hefty transfer fee

Rafael van der Vaart believes he can find Sunday league players just as good as Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.

The stinging observation came after the Red Devils let another lead slip on Sunday to draw 1-1 with Liverpool at Old Trafford.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have kept just two clean sheets in the league this season, with Maguire's €92 million transfer from Leicester City over the off-season so far failing to have a massive impact for the team's defence.
