Maguire X OnanaThese two players were the ones who managed to save Manchester United from bad results and I think that even though up to now both of them have often received criticism from fans. Thanks to the extraordinary performance of these two which was the key to victory for the Red Devils, at least it was able to reduce all the ridicule thrown at them. We know that as the home team, Manchester United is having difficulty scoring goals and I am quite pessimistic about whether last night Manchester United would fail to secure another point. But who would have thought that the hero would come with a header using an assist from Eriksen and he was the former Red Devils captain, Harry Maguire. Suddenly the supporters complained about his name and because of that, Manchester United would no longer be embarrassed at home.
During a massive injury crisis, Manchester United had to use Maguire and in a rare match he plays well, he helped Manchester United to win, a first win in Champions League in this season. This win nails their chance to continue a race with other clubs in last three matches. Ganarcho and McTominay wasted some good chances to finalize the match and in very last seconds, McTominay made a foul that caused a penalty. Fortunately Onana made a great save and kept three points for his team.
I think Erik ten Hag should again entrust the role of defender to Harry Maguire and maybe that will change the team's game a little in the future. Harry Maguire has worked hard to silence his haters and as a substitute for the remaining defenders he did his best in last night's match. Sometimes players like Garnacho and McTominay can be the key to winning for the Red Devils when needed but they also lose the momentum to do that.
However, what I can't stop thinking about is Rashford's performance which is still quite selfish and what he does sometimes just wastes existing opportunities. Well, the competition in Group A will be even fiercer and maybe Manchester United can maintain its chance to qualify if it manages to win all the remaining matches.
