Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has praised Harry Maguire for his dominant performance for England. Maguire has truly made himself one as of the best defenders on the planet right now.
Dean Henderson said to TalkSport: “How can you doubt Harry Maguire? Nobody can doubt him. He plays every single game for Manchester United, the biggest football club in the world, and no matter what he gives his best. Unfortunately, you can’t play outstanding in every game because nobody is perfect, but Harry is a top center-half. I’d put him in the same category as Virgil van Dijk, and I’ll be proven right in the next couple of years because he’s only going to get better and better.”
Harry Maguire had suffered a bad injury to his ankle which kept him out of Manchester United’s crucial Europa League final against Villarreal. His absence was felt everywhere on the pitch, as United failed to lift the prestigious trophy.
Maguire showed some worrying signs but Gareth Southgate kept faith in the solid center-back. He was given the chance to play for England in the Euros and boy, did he perform miracles.
He made his mark against Scotland and then played the rest of five crucial games for England. His quality defending and leadership gave nightmares to the opposition. Everyone was pretty amazed by the way Maguire recovered so quickly and performed at such a high level.
He scored a goal against Germany and then provided a colossal performance against Denmark. This is not the end, even the Italian attackers failed to outsmart Harry Maguire. But in the end, he ended up on the losing side.
It has been a remarkable year for Harry Maguire. Though he didn’t win any trophy, he gave the world a glimpse of a world-class leader. We hope that next season, he wins the battle and helps England and Manchester United to win a trophy.
