Former Liverpool player praises Harry Maguire after Manchester United star's heroics

Former Liverpool player Dejan Lovren shared his praise for Fabrizio Romano's post on Manchester United star defender Harry Maguire. The English defender most recently smashed a goal against Liverpool which clinched a win for the Red Devils on Liverpool on Sunday, October 19.

The moment came amid a time when Maguire has found it difficult to find a place in the starting XI. Such has been the case for the past few seasons after his whopping €87 million move from Leicester City to Old Trafford in 2019.

Lavishing praise on Maguire for his attitude and determination, Romano wrote on Instagram:

"Harry Maguire deserves a special post, in my opinion. Might sound as a different one… but I believe it’s worth it, for football fans and not only.

Just a few days after his late goal at Anfield, becoming Man United’s unexpected hero (once again…), Harry’s story from these years keeps going round in my mind."

He added:

"It’s too easy now to forget what happened, what he’s had to go through for years and years since he joined Manchester United for that huge transfer fee in 2019. But players don’t control the transfer fee… that’s just about the clubs. They’re not robots. They usually try their best to perform, and sometimes it doesn’t work."

"Harry never complained. Never overreacted. Never commented or hit back to anyone. Hard work. Keep going. Never giving up. Follow your dream to be Man United player at best level possible. No more captain’s armband? Also no problem. Stay focused. Help your teammates. Play at your best and give 100% in every game or training session."

Reacting to this post, Ex-Liverpool player wrote:

"Harry deserves it 100%"

"Not many players would ever come back after what he went through. As a LFC supporter well done Harry!!"

Maguire has played a total of 254 games across competition for Manchester United, scoring 17 goals and nine assists.

Big update on Harry Maguire's future at Manchester United

Harry Maguire has become a hot topic after his amazing outing against Liverpool on Sunday. His future at the club remains under the clouds of uncertainty, with his contract expiring in seven months.

However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that the central defender is still open to staying with the Red Devils while speaking on his official YouTube Channel.

If Maguire is to stay, he will have to compete with the likes of Leny Yoro, Matthijs de ligt and Lisndro Martinez, among other defenders for regular playing time for Manchester United.
