After more than 20 minutes of intense competition in the first leg of the semi-final, Harry Maguire was directed from the center-back position to play on the right wing of Man United. In the 30th minute, instead of passing the ball back to his teammates, Maguire performed a skillful turn and turn that surprised the audience. He easily eliminated defender Mikel Jauregizar and then sent a beautiful pass into the middle for Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro to head in to score.

The goal was considered the easiest in Casemiro's career, but the biggest credit still belongs to Harry Maguire. Maguire's moment of brilliance in the most impressive way contributed significantly to breaking the deadlock for Man United.
Casemiro scores but Harry Maguire is praised by fans
Fans immediately took to social media to praise the 32-year-old England defender, who also shone in the previous quarter-final with a goal against Lyon.
"Harry Maguire or Lamine Yamal?" - one fan jokingly asked after witnessing 17-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal shine in Barcelona's 3-3 draw with Inter Milan in the Champions League and making a reference to Maguire's performance.
Comments on X network have many compliments for Maguire.
"My centre-back, striker, winger: Harry Maguire!", another X user added.
"Harry Maguire moves like Ronaldinho on the right wing. Maguire has shown better wing ability than Garnacho throughout the season," a fan affirmed.
Maguire excels on the wing and creates chances
Coach Ruben Amorim himself admitted: "Harry Maguire can do everything for Man United, from defending to scoring, and is now a great winger. Everything Harry does now is beneficial to the team."
When asked about his high-flying and crosses, Maguire replied: "It's nice to dribble a bit sometimes, I think I made a good cross. We had a lot of players in the box and my teammates must have trusted me to get the ball in."
Maguire excited with words of encouragement from fans
When told that fans were calling him "Harrydinho" on social media, Maguire was very pleased and satisfied: 'I know there will be a few nicknames for me. Just kidding, the important thing for us is to win. A passionate first half, a professional second half. We had a great win and we are looking forward to repeating the miracle at home next week.'
Bruno Fernandes praised his teammate Maguire
Maguire has been pushed forward by Amorim on several occasions this season, especially when United need a late winner. He proved his worth against Bilbao in a playmaking role, as he did against Lyon with a goal.
Man United full of hope to reach Europa League final
Bruno Fernandes, who will take over as Man United captain from Maguire in 2023, was delighted with his teammate: "Maguire is a great winger. Opponents surprise him and that gives him the confidence to perform well in every role assigned to him, from defending to scoring. He is a good leader and we always hope he will develop his strengths."
