Harry Maguire became the hero of the night as Manchester United secured a vital Champions League win against Copenhagen. His headed goal, 20 minutes from time, was a fitting tribute to the late great Sir Bobby Charlton. Often criticized as the scapegoat for United’s troubles, Maguire is now showing top form. With injury sidelining Lisandro Martinez, the former United captain seems set to regain his place in the starting 11.
In an interview with TNT Sports, Maguire emphasized the significance of the win and Andre Onana’s critical penalty save. He also touched on the emotional atmosphere of the game, played at Old Trafford after the passing of Sir Bobby Charlton. Maguire stated, “It was meant to be. A magnificent save and a win dedicated to Sir Bobby and his family. It has been a tough week for us, but really pleased we could get the win tonight.”
The victory, led by Erik ten Hag, puts United one point behind Galatasaray in the fight for second place in Group B, following Bayern Munich’s win against the Turkish team. Maguire’s resurgence and this crucial win have brought hope to the Red Devils’ season.
“We’re going to miss him. We’re proud that we could get the win for him tonight.”
Man United’s two heroes give their post-match thoughts, with Harry Maguire reserving a special word for Bobby Charlton.
