Maguire Hailed After Anfield Winner as United Greats Praise Defender and Butt Faults Recruitment

The renewed acclaim signals a broader reassessment of his status under Ruben Amorim.

Overview

  • Harry Maguire’s 84th‑minute header sealed Manchester United’s 2-1 victory at Anfield, continuing the team’s recent upswing under Ruben Amorim.
  • Amorim called Maguire “a great example to every kid,” highlighting the centre-half’s response to past setbacks.
  • Paul Scholes praised Maguire as “brilliant” in both boxes, with Steve Bruce concurring that the defender was “very, very good.”
  • Nicky Butt argued United “let him down” by failing to sign a complementary centre-back, contrasting his England form alongside John Stones.
  • The win and plaudits arrive as reports suggest Barcelona could let Robert Lewandowski leave for free next summer, with reminders he once said he had agreed to join United, though any move remains speculative.
