The Sidemen, a popular YouTube group with 15.1 million subscribers on their main channel, have made a reaction video to a meme compilation of Harry Maguire’s mistakes and it's hard to watch if you're a Manchester United fan.
The Sidemen are made up of seven members, including YouTuber and rapper KSI, and the group releases reaction videos on one of their smaller channels ‘Sidemen Reacts’, which produces daily videos containing three or four of the members reacting to random videos.
In their latest video, titled ‘WHY UNITED PAID $80 MILLION FOR MAGUIRE’, Tobi Brown (aka ‘TBJZL’, Simon Minter (aka ‘Miniminter’ and Vikram Singh Barn (aka ‘Vikkstar123’), watched a Harry Maguire mistake compilation, much to Tobi’s disliking, as he is a lifelong Manchester United fan.

The Manchester United captain has been the target of criticism ever since his move from Leicester City as his form has mirrored that of United by being far below what people expect.
Tobi Brown started the video off by announcing, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Spain without the S [pain].”
The video certainly was painful for Tobi and other United fans, but Simon Minter, who is a Leeds fan, was laughing and reverling in his friend's pain right from the beginning.
The compilation shows embarrassing error after error from United’s no.5, which prompts Vik, who famously doesn’t watch much football, “has he been done dirty in the edit or is this quite accurate?”, to which Simon and Tobi explains, "he has his moments and he's phenomenal for England for some reason,” before Simon clarifies “I mean he does this [make errors] a lot.”

Sadly, when it seems to come to Maguire’s form both answers are correct. He is often amazing for England and arguably one of the best centre-backs around, however he has been very inconsistent for his club across the last two years.
As the video progresses, Tobi seems to get more and more frustrated at the mistakes in the clips chosen for the video, leading the YouTuber to say, “I feel, like, sick watching this like genuinely…
"Bro the whole club’s a shambles, it’s not just him that I’m p***ed off at, why is this happening to my club!”

At the end of the video, Tobi seems to have reached boiling point with his anger and Simon played to this by rubbing salt into the Manchester United sized wound by chirping, “That video has made me happy with Leeds this season."
With the new era of Erik ten Hag fastly approaching as preseason is set to begin on the 27th of June, many hope that the Dutchman can revitalise Harry Maguire into the dominant centre-back that Manchester United brought back in 2019 for close £80 million, as like this Sidemen video, it is painful watching a player struggle as much as the Englishman has at times this season.
