Breaking news: Maguire reveals why he gave paul pogba the Kung fu kick ,here is what he said .

 Fans have joked Harry Maguire 

'practiced" his kick on Paul Pogba prior

 to Manchester United's 3-2 win over 

Norwich City on Saturday.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in 

the five-goal thriller, including his first 

free-kick goal since July 2020.

But another key talking point from the clash

 was United skipper Maguire catching Pogba

 right in the head.

From a corner, Maguire challenged Norwich

 defender Ben Gibson in the air and ended 

up up in a very peculiar position as 

he fell to the turf.

Poor Pogba ended up getting studs in his 

face and was absolutely seething after

 being bloodied - giving his captain the

 death stare as medical staff attended to him.

Although it was accidental, Maguire 

received criticism for his clumsiness and

 fans felt it summed up United's poor

 2021/122 campaign.

And people have spotted that Maguire 

performed a very similar action 

before the game.

As the teams and officials lined up 

and got ready for the fairplay handshake,

 the former Leicester City centre-back 

was seen doing a bizarre stretch.

He moved his body forward and kicked 

his legs up in the air behind him at 

separate points.

This isn't the first time Maguire has had 

an accidental collision with a teammate. 

Only last month, he inadvertently smashed

 into Cristiano Ronaldo's teeth with his 

head from a corner against Atletico Madrid.

Maguire's displays have come under serious

 scrutiny this season and some fans believe

 David De Gea was refusing to pass to 

him at the weekend.

There was one occasion where the Spaniard 

refrained to pass into his feet and instead 

kicked the ball straight out of play.

Maguire had also been guilty of some 

poor defending for Teemu Pukki's equalizer

 in the game.

He could reportedly be stripped of the

 captaincy by Erik ten Hag, who is set 

to take the reins at United in the summer 

and wants a new central defender.
