Nemanja Matic has described the trolling of England and Manchester United central defender Harry Maguire as a ‘disaster’.
The Roma midfielder insisted that people “who have no life of their own” target his former teammate on social media.

Some Three Lions fans booed the £80million Red Devils star to Côte d’Ivoire in March and some have taken to abusing him on social media.
Matic has since tackled the culprits, having previously spent three seasons at Old Trafford with the centre-back.
“What people are doing to him, it’s a disaster,” Matic . said The times. “Everything has to have limits and some of these people who write on social media don’t have a life of their own, so they just have to write bad things about someone else.”

Maguire suffered two defeats of the season against Brighton and Brentford during Manchester United’s opening, before losing his place to defensive combination Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.
Ten Hag’s side have since racked up four consecutive league wins without the 29-year-old in the starting line-up, triumphing against Liverpool, Southampton, Leicester and Arsenal to climb to fifth in the division.
Despite receiving a plethora of abuse online from a roster of supporters, Maguire shared: talkSPORT: ‘I’m completely fine, ready to play, I feel fit and fresh.

‘I don’t know what was said on my form, I don’t really read about it. I came after three positive games with England in the summer and a good pre-season. I felt really good.
“Obviously the manager decided to let me out of a game and the team has been winning ever since.
“I work hard on the training pitch to make sure I’m ready for when my chance comes. That’s all I can do to help the team. I don’t focus on anyone else and on what people say.’
