Sort it out – Man Utd legend Dimitar Berbatov tells Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo what they must do amid row claim
DIMITAR BERBATOV has told club captain Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo to 'sort it out' amid row claims.
Reports suggested the pair were feuding over who should take the captain’s armband for the rest of the season.
But both Maguire and interim manager Ralf Rangnick have since rubbish claims of a rift.
Maguire took to Twitter and said: "I’ve seen a lot of reports about this club that aren’t true and this is another.
"Not going to start posting about everything that is written but I needed to make this one clear. We’re united and focused on Sunday. Enjoy your day everyone."
But nonetheless, United legend Berbatov has offered Maguire and Berbatov some advice.
The Bulgarian has told the pair that if there is an issue, 'speak face-to-face and sort it out' as it is an unwanted distraction.
Speaking to Betfair, Berbatov said: "There is always rumour and gossip going around at any club and who knows if there is anything in the story of a clash between Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo over the captaincy.

"Harry says that’s not the case. I hope he’s right.
"But if there is something to it then I hope they can speak face-to-face and sort it out.
"What is for sure is that this is not the sort of thing United need right now. United are fighting for a top four spot which they need to achieve.
"Nobody needs to be talking about this stuff right in the middle of the season."
Berbatov acknowledged the case Ronaldo has to the captaincy, saying he has 'experienced everything in the game.'
But at the same time, Maguire doesn't like to 'run' from the responsibility that comes with wearing the armband.
He continued: "Obviously Ronaldo is an icon in football, he’s done it all and when you have a player like this in the side you need to use him, ask for advice and listen to what he says.
"He leads by example during training and the way he plays.
"There is a point for Ronaldo being captain because he has experienced everything in the game.
"On the other hand Maguire is captain and, ok he may have had the odd bad game, but I don’t think he would like to run from that responsibility.
"If there is anything in it, they have to come together, sit down, speak to each other and the manager and just f**king sort it out!"
