If there is one word to describe Harry Maguire’s stay at MU , it is “ resilience ”. An expensive contract that has been ridiculed a lot, 15 months ago Erik ten Hag stripped him of the captaincy, left him on the MU bench and almost sold him to West Ham,…

But Maguire was still there, not giving up, not complaining, just working hard and trying to seize the opportunity every time he was on the field. On the evening of October 19, at a stormy Anfield, trusted by Amorim to start from the beginning, the 32-year-old central defender completed his mission excellently.

In the joy of enjoying the "biggest victory" since coming to MU, Ruben Amorim could not help but mention the great contribution of Harry Maguire: " He played an important role at both ends of the field ".

MU took the lead against Liverpool in the 2nd minute thanks to Mbeumo, but in the 78th minute, Gakpo equalized for MU. And Harry Maguire appeared, perfectly taking advantage of a set piece situation by Bruno Fernandes in the 84th minute, heading the ball to bring the Red Devils a 2-1 victory. He was honored as the best player of the match .

According to Squawka statistics, Harry Maguire has scored 6 decisive goals for MU since the beginning of last season, including: the 3-3 equalizer (90+1) in the draw with Porto in the Europa League; the decisive goal to win 2-1 against Leicester (FA Cup) 90+3; the goal that decided MU 3-2 Ipswich Town; the decisive goal to win MU 5-4 Lyon in the 120+1 minute, Europa League quarter-finals; the 2-2 equalizer to Grymsby in the 89th minute in the English League Cup and most recently the goal against Liverpool last night.

Maguire's goal helped MU win 2-1 Liverpool, which could be a turning point for Amorim's team. The Red Devils are currently in 9th place, only 2 points behind Liverpool and 1 point away from the top 5, thereby keeping their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League alive.

Maguire beamed after the match: “ I love Manchester United, I love this football club! We haven't beaten Liverpool for a long time and that's a shame.

Now we have it all sorted. Great game, great spirit, a great win but we have to keep fighting. Let's go for our third win in a row against Brighton on Saturday ."
