Harry Maguire had a much more positive performance for United today and fans are speculating that we may be seeing a return to form
But the defender had a solid performance and could not have been blamed for Brentford’s goal which came from an Andre Onana mistake.
But his starring role came in a surprise capacity as he turned creator for Scott McTominay’s winner.
Maguire headed the ball in the direction of the Brentford goal from a Bruno Fernandes free-kick and his hoiked header was turned in by game-winner Scott McTominay.
United fans on Twitter did a complete 180 on Maguire after his assist, with one fan tweeting: “Bro has insanely stepped up his game! Hats off, Harry Maguire!”
A second wrote: “To all Maguire haters, he played a brilliant game today and assisted the winning goal. Stop abusing him! Enough is enough.”
A third wrote: “Harry Maguire assist. I think he’s been out best player by far today. And that’s coming from someone who advocated launching him into the sun.
“Fair play to him and McTominay today. Credit where it’s due. Well done to the pair of them.”
A fourth tweeted: “Maguire was absolutely terrific today I don’t want to be seeing Lindelöf starting ahead of him at CB ever again.”
Ten Hag claims that Raphael Varane missed today’s game due to a “minor issue” and will likely return during the international break.
Following his performance today, Maguire will probably be the favorite to replace Jonny Evans.
