HARRY MAGUIRE has completely changed some Manchester United fans’ minds after his role in United’s dramatic late comeback against Brentford today.
Maguire was a surprise inclusion in the starting XI alongside Jonny Evans at the heart of the United defence amid the club’s ongoing injury crisis.
But the defender had a solid performance and could not have been blamed for Brentford’s goal which came from an Andre Onana mistake.
But his starring role came in a surprise capacity as he turned creator for Scott McTominay’s winner.
Maguire headed the ball in the direction of the Brentford goal from a Bruno Fernandes free-kick and his hoiked header was turned in by game-winner Scott McTominay.
United fans on Twitter did a complete 180 on Maguire after his assist, with one fan tweeting: “Bro has insanely stepped up his game! Hats off, Harry Maguire!”

A second wrote: “To all Maguire haters, he played a brilliant game today and assisted the winning goal. Stop abusing him! Enough is enough.”
A third wrote: “Harry Maguire assist. I think he’s been out best player by far today. And that’s coming from someone who advocated launching him into the sun.
“Fair play to him and McTominay today. Credit where it’s due. Well done to the pair of them.”
A fourth tweeted: “Maguire was absolutely terrific today I don’t want to be seeing Lindelöf starting ahead of him at CB ever again.”

Raphael Varane missed today’s game with a “minor issue” according to Ten Hag and should be available after the international break.
After today’s performance, Maguire will likely be favourite to keep his place over Jonny Evans.
