Harry Maguire produced a perfect performance against Copenhagen in the Champions League group stage on Tuesday, October 24, that shut haters up.
Maguire-led United went into the game after successive Premier League wins but they were overpowered by the Danish team in the first half.
After the team returned in the second half, it was another evenly-matched contest between the two teams in the UCL match.
However, Manchester United broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute after what looked like an offside goal but was later given.
Christian Eriksen found Harry Maguire with a beautiful cross and the outcast England defender headed home a beautiful goal.
United finished well in the match with Andre Onana securing the points right at the end with a fantastic penalty save.
Aside from the goal Maguire scored, he also had 89 touches and completed 72 passes in the Champions League Match.
The England defender also won five ground and aerial duels, blocking two shots and the former captain was assured at the back after the break.
Harry Maguire delighted United fans with his performance despite him having a difficult time at the club over the past 15 months.
Maguire’s goal ensured that United are now on three points after three matchdays with one point behind second-placed Galatasaray.
United have their European campaign in their hands as a win in the next three outings would see them qualify for the last 16.
