Harry Maguire stood out by scoring the winning goal that secured Manchester United's victory over Liverpool at Anfield, simultaneously suggesting he might part ways with the club once his contract ends.
On the evening of October 19th (Vietnam time), Manchester United faced a challenging away match at Liverpool’s Anfield in the latest round of the Premier League. Despite enduring intense pressure from the stands, Amorim’s squad showed resilience and determination to meet the challenge head-on.
The spotlight of the match was on Harry Maguire — the defender who had faced much doubt throughout his time at Manchester United. In the 84th minute, the English player positioned himself perfectly to head the ball into Liverpool’s net, delivering a thrilling 2-1 victory for the visitors. This marked MU’s first win at Anfield in nearly a decade, a significant milestone that narrowed the gap with Liverpool to just two points in the Premier League standings.
This victory carried not only sporting significance but also immense emotional value for Maguire, who had been heavily criticized due to a dip in form. Over many seasons, the 1993-born defender struggled to regain his starting spot but persevered, proving his resilience and professionalism. Against Liverpool, Maguire was not only solid in defense but also a key figure in set-piece situations, making a crucial difference in the match.
After becoming the hero, Maguire made a cryptic statement about his future that caught fans’ attention. Speaking to Stadium Astro, he said:“I’m in the final year of my contract, so this might be the last time I play at Anfield with this club,” Maguire further emphasized:“That’s why winning here means so much to me.”
Maguire’s words hinted at the possibility of him leaving Manchester United after the 2025/2026 season. Although his future remains uncertain, his performance against Liverpool has helped him regain fans’ trust and reaffirm his value in the Red Devils’ squad.
