After the victory last night, Captain Bruno Fernandes said: 'What a winger! I don't think he even knew he had that in his closet.
'Harry is now a much more confident man. When he plays, his position becomes stronger, he is a very good leader and we hope he will continue to improve. '
United Boss Ruben Amorim added: 'He is a good winger! We all have moments when everything we do in our lives seems wrong, and everything Harry is doing now is good for the team. '
The international of England collected the comparisons.
“I'm sure there are a few nicknames for me,” he joked. “But no, it's important for me, the victory. It was a clinical first half, a professional second half. We had opportunities to get the fourth, but it is eventually a great victory. '
He added: 'I noticed that I was attacking the back post, I think Garna [Alejandro Garnacho] Passed me the ball, it was nice to drip a little and do a great cross. '
'We had many bodies in the box and they must have trusted me to stop the cross. It was a nice feeling and it was a great header in the end. '
Maguire has been one of the success stories of a wrestling united side that is in 14th place in the Premier League with four games left.

“We did not take responsibility well enough from moving manager to manager and we took too long to bed in new ideas.”
United will be confronted with Athletic Bilbao next week in the second stage in Old Trafford, before a likely final against Tottenham or Bodo/shines on May 21 if they can hold their benefits.
