Harry Maguire has channeled his inner Lamine Yamal to set up Manchester United's opening goal against Athletic Bilbao.
The middle behind his cumbersome frame when he was on the right wing in Spain.
And just like Yamal 24 hours earlier, he produced his own moment of magic.
Maguire Jinxed inside and out and out and out, showed ingenious fast feet and bambooing are humiliated marker.
The £ 85 million men – who scored a dramatic winner in the quarterfinals as an improvised striker – justified his elevated price tag by then supplying an inch -perfect cross.
Manuel Ugarte caught on and Casemiro had a free header on the back post to break the impasse in North Spain.
TNT sports commentator Darren Fletcher joked Maguire yesterday the 17-year-old Barcelona Sensation Yamal, while he tore apart the defenders of Inter Milan.
Fletcher said: “Maguire … not the most orthodox of the right wings, but he did well there.
'In fact, he will go again. Why wouldn't you beat him twice if you can?
“It's a great cross … it's a great opportunity … it's 1-0 for Manchester United.
“It is quite brilliantly finished by Casemiro, but what about turning Harry Maguire?
“He watched Lamine Yamal last night.”
Robbie Savage lost his voice after the “beautiful game” while Rio Ferdinand joked that he “had to negotiate again about his contract as an attacking player”.
A delighted Maguire could not hide his radiant smile during the parties.
And United fans have flooded social media with brilliant comments in response to the stunning piece skill of their unlikely broad man.
One said, “Yamal who? Nico who? Sir Harry Maguire.”
Another wrote: “Harry Maguire is our best CB, RWB and St. What a player!”
A third added: “Harry Maguire really looked at Lamine Yamal last night and said,” Note this. “
A fourth typed: “Lamine Yamal has posters of Harry Maguire on his walls …”
A fifth noticed: “Lamine Yamal wakes up every day and thinks about how he can look more like Harry Maguire. Icon.”
And a final user replied: “Harry Maguire is better than Lamine Yamal.”
United led by three against the break and a man had escaped before Maguire to go from hero to zero, despite the withdrawal of Maroan Sannadi as the last defender.
Maguire was picked up shortly thereafter when United held up for a 3-0 win.
Perhaps Ruben Amorim saved his attacking threat for the second stage and a likely final back in the San Mames on 21 May.
