Defender, striker… winger? How ‘Harrydinho’ inspired Man Utd

Harry Maguire is definitely a best player in the Europa League, in my opinion.

After the Manchester United defender’s dramatic 121st-minute winner against Lyon in the quarter-finals, Maguire created magic to help his team triumph 3-0 at Athletic Club in the first leg of their semi-final match.

Even Ronaldinho was compared to Maguire’s dribbling abilities and cross, which saw Casemiro lead the Premier League team in front.

After United made a significant step toward reaching the Europa League final, which will take place at the same San Mames stadium in Bilbao, the 32-year-old was referred to as “Harrydinho” on social media.

When Maguire went all-Ronaldinho to silence the home fans, the game was 29 minutes old.

United’s number five turned one way, stopped in front of him, and then turned the other way, before turning around again, passing his rival and receiving the cross.

Casemiro nods into the net after Manuel Ugarte flicked it on.

What a winger! Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Maguire’s side, increased United’s lead from the penalty spot before adding a third before half-time to give his side a respectable first-leg lead, “I don’t think he even knew he had that in his locker.

“Harry is now much more self-assured. His playing position is strengthening, and we hope he keeps getting better.

Former United defender Phil Jones said, “I didn’t know he had it in him,” in a statement released on 5 Live. Fair play, great ball in, and I never saw it during training, to be honest.

Former United captain Maguire’s former manager Ruben Amorim also received praise.

Harry has had difficult times in his life, according to the Portuguese. We must enjoy everything he does because it benefits the team.

What about Maguire’s role in that trickery, exactly?

When Alejandro Garna passed me the ball, it was nice to do some dribbling and put in a great cross, he said, “I found myself attacking the back post.”
