Harry Maguire’s remarkable statistical output was cited by Erik ten Hag as the reason for his Man of the Match award

Manchester United came out on top 2-1 in a sloppy match against the Blades thanks to a late thunderbolt from Diogo Dalot.

But it was Maguire, a product of the Sheffield United youth system, who led from the back.

The home crowd in Yorkshire was very supportive, and he responded by putting on a fantastic performance.

The Englishman led in total touches (104), won all eight of his tackles, completed 76 passes, and made 14 trips inside the United defensive third.

Since October 2022, Maguire has started 16 games for United, and they have won all 15.

Maguire, after being named Man of the Match, paid tribute to Charlton, who had gone away the previous Saturday.

He stated, “It’s a truly sad day, and we felt its impact while we were getting ready for the game.

After games, Sir Bobby frequented the bar and always brought the energy.

The boys and the coaches had a lot of respect for him, and his presence in the locker room was palpable.

Our prayers are with him and his family because he is a legend of our club and the sport of football.

His presence was always felt, and you could count on seeing him about the club, regardless of whether or not we were victorious.

“He was a great person and an amazing footballer, and he will be missed by everyone around the world.”

United manager Erik ten Hag was also effusive in his praise of Maguire after he started the Red Devils’ last two games, both of which they won.

He played a fantastic game and shown commendable character; the coach was pleased with his efforts.

Even though Paul Heckingbottom’s team only has one point so far this season, United can praise Dalot for his late-night thunderbolt strike.

Scott McTominay went from hero to zero after he gave away a penalty shortly after scoring the game’s first goal.
