Manchester United captain Harry Maguire delivered a passionate post-match message to fans after leading his side to a thrilling 2-1 victory over arch-rivals Liverpool at Anfield, a game that could mark a turning point in United’s turbulent start to the season, Softfootball reports.
The English defender rose highest in the 84th minute to power home Bruno Fernandes’ corner, sealing all three points for the Red Devils in front of a roaring home crowd. It was a fitting moment for the skipper, who has faced his share of criticism in recent seasons but continues to prove his importance in big games.
According to top journalist Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, speaking after the match, Maguire couldn’t hide his emotion, Romano posted;
I love this football club! This one goes for all fans, they will be happy today, it means everything for all of us. Our fans haven’t had the better of us over the last few years and it’s not been good for our club.
This win also marks the first time United have recorded back-to-back victories under new manager Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese coach has been under mounting pressure after a shaky start to the campaign, but the club hierarchy has continued to back him and tonight’s result may just buy him the breathing space he needs.
A captain’s goal, a defiant message, and a much-needed win — Harry Maguire reminded everyone why his name still echoes through the Theatre of Dreams.
