Maguire ignites the Manchester United dressing room after the victory over Liverpool

Harry Maguire received a heroic welcome from his Manchester United teammates after netting the decisive goal to secure a 2-1 victory over Liverpool right at Anfield.

The “Super Sunday” clash between Liverpool and Man Utd started with high intensity. Just minutes after kickoff, Bryan Mbeumo put the visitors ahead with a skillful finish that silenced the Anfield crowd. However, the home side quickly equalized through Cody Gakpo’s close-range tap-in, restoring balance to the match.

When everyone expected the match to end in a draw, Harry Maguire, usually known for his defensive role as a center-back, became the game-changer. In the 84th minute, during an attacking move, Maguire escaped the marking of Ibrahima Konate and rose high to head the ball into Liverpool’s net, delivering a precious win for the “Red Devils.”

This was not only Maguire’s first goal of the season but also a huge morale boost for Man Utd, helping them regain confidence after a disappointing run. The goal also marked the Red Devils’ first win at Anfield since 2016, a milestone fans had awaited for nearly a decade.

After the match, the atmosphere in the Man Utd dressing room was filled with joy. Maguire returned to cheers and applause from the entire squad, even receiving a hug from Bruno Fernandes, who assisted his goal. The players sang, danced, and captured this rare moment of happiness on away ground.

However, coach Ruben Amorim couldn’t resist making a humorous remark about the celebratory mood. The Portuguese manager shared after the game: “I’m very happy to see the players so joyful; that makes me happy too. But... the music in the dressing room was terrible. My taste in music is much better.”

For Harry Maguire, this moment holds special meaning. Once heavily criticized, losing his starting spot and being stripped of the captaincy by Erik ten Hag, the 32-year-old center-back has now regained confidence through effort and resilience. From being an £85 million signing considered a failure, Maguire is gradually proving his worth. Under Ruben Amorim’s guidance, he is not only given starting opportunities but is also part of the team’s new leadership group.
