HARRY MAGUIRE won over the fans with some fine dark arts in Manchester United’s big victory over Chelsea.
United picked up a 2-1 win over the Blues on Saturday at Old Trafford to ease the pressure on under-fire manager Ruben Amorim and his players.
Maguire, 32, was among Man Utd’s best of the night and received a warm ovation on his way out of the pitch after 70 minutes when he was subbed off and replaced by Leny Yoro.
Fan footage showed the centre-back making his way towards the tunnel and walking next to balls that were set up to help full-backs take on quick free throws.
However, the England international had the hindsight of kicking the ball away to slow the game down in favour of the Red Devils who were 2-0 up.
Man Utd supporters were left in such awe with Maguire’s football genius that they stormed the comments’ section to praise him.
One fan tweeted: “Elite football IQ.”
Another commented: “Harry Maguire uses all the tricks in the book.”
A third wrote: “How can you not love him?”
This fan gushed: “Aura.”
And that one posted: “Loving this s***house version of Maguire.”
And Maguire’s tactics worked out for the hosts as they ended up picking up the valuable three points.
United led thanks to goals by Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro before Trevoh Chalobah’s late strike tried to put the visitors back in the game.
