He is the guy - Amorim heaps praise on Maguire after saving Man United from UEL disaster

The Red Devils remarkably qualified for the semifinal of the UEFA Europa League, defeating Lyon 5-4 on Thursday night at Old Trafford.

The host surrendered a two-goal lead at full time and conceded another two goals in extra time, almost eliminating them from the competition.

However, Amorim’s team made a comeback in extra time, scoring three goals to win the game 7-6 on aggregate.

Maguire scored the winning goal for Manchester United with a header to seal the win and Amorim has hailed the defender.

After the game, Amorim said, as reported by Fabrizio on X, “We put Harry Maguire up there because he’s the guy who can score a header.”

The England international has come under criticism for his performance in recent years, but has found a way to get back on his feet.

Despite having limited playing time this season, he was able to help Man United qualify for the semi-final round of the competition.

Manchester United will now face Spanish side Athletic Bilbao in the semifinal as they edge closer to winning the trophy.
