Fans have condemned the action towards Maguire on social media
One fan said: I feel so sorry for @HarryMaguire93. "He is constantly getting bullied by trolls on a daily basis and now this. It’s just so sick and disgusting. Didn’t Caroline Flack’s death teach trolls" anything? Leave him ALONE.
Another said: "The guy’s got kids- if you condone this, even if it’s a hoax, you’re a grade A bellend".
This isn't the first time that a United employee has received threats regarding their role at the club.
In January 2020, former United CEO Ed Woodward came under attacks from thugs, who threw flares at his home as the protests against the Glazer ownership at Old Trafford took place
