Premier League club Manchester United shocked everyone after their comeback in yesterday’s match against Brentford. The Red Devils rose from the ashes to steal a late victory from their opponents, leaving the away fans with their heads in their hands. Club center-back Harry Maguire also delivered an amazing performance and received a lot of praise from his teammates and the fans.
Manchester United were not in their best form for most of this season. The club was not at all consistent, and they even lost both of their 2023 Champions League group-stage games. Yesterday’s performance has given United fans hope that things may change.
Manchester United fans reaction to Harry Maguire’s performance
Manchester United went toe to toe with Brentford on October 7 in a Premier League Round-7 match. The home team conceded a goal in the 26th minute. Club goalkeeper Andre Onana made another mistake and could not stop the ball from crossing the goal line, putting Mathias Jensen on the scoreboard and his club at a disadvantage.
Brentford was unable to score a second goal, and Harry Maguire played a major role in keeping the guests away from Manchester United’s post. Maguire was insanely dominant in the match; he won 100% of his aerial duels. Not only that, but he had a pass completion rate of 90%. The 30-year-old also provided the assist for the winning goal. All of this has caused fans to praise their former captain and appreciate him.
Current United captain Bruno Fernandes also praised his teammate, calling his performance excellent. Fans have waited to see such a performance from Harry Maguire for a long time, and hopefully the English international will now keep this up.
Scott McTominay saves Manchester United
It looked like another loss for United, but the winds shifted when midfielder Scott McTominay came on the field as a late substitute. In the 87th minute, Erik Ten Hag decided to make a switch between McTominay and Sofyan Amrabat. The decision turned out to be one of the best decisions of the manager’s life, as the substitute scored an equalizer six minutes later.
Fans did not have to wait long for the winning goal, as it came only four minutes after the equalizer. A header assist from Harry Maguire from the left side of the post was easily converted into a goal by Scott McTominay, sealing the victory for Manchester United and becoming a hero for his club.
Manchester United had a memorable match. The club has shown the world their potential, and hopefully they will now find their momentum and deliver an even better performance in their next game.
