"The talent is there" – Harry Maguire Reveals Steps He Took to Revive His Manchester United Career
Maguire Opens Up on His Journey Back to Form and His Key Role in Amorim's Manchester United Plans
Harry Maguire is feeling positive about his future at Manchester United after becoming an important player under manager Ruben Amorim. The experienced defender played a big role in United’s dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Leicester City in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday night.
Maguire was the hero of the match, scoring a last-minute winner in the 93rd minute, helping United secure a place in the next round of the tournament. His goal completed a remarkable turnaround after United had trailed 1-0 at halftime and were booed by their own fans as they walked off the pitch.
Maguire has put in a lot of effort to get back his spot on the club after a challenging couple of seasons, and it appears Amorim now has complete faith in him. With his 11th start in 20 games under the new management, the game against Leicester proved that he has once again established himself as a vital member of United’s defense.
Speaking after the match, Maguire shared his thoughts on his personal form and future at the club:
“I feel like I am in a really good place right now. The last two years have been tough, but I stayed focused and waited for my chance. Now, I’m playing regularly, and I feel great both mentally and physically.”
The defender also made it clear that his main focus is on helping United improve:
“It’s not just about me—it’s about the team. We need to get Manchester United back to where it belongs. We’re not there yet, but wins like this one keep us moving forward.”
Maguire has always been seen as a leader at United, and Amorim has encouraged senior players to step up and take responsibility. The defender believes his leadership comes naturally:
“Leadership isn’t something that should be forced. It comes from experience and confidence. We have a lot of leaders in the dressing room, and we all know that our Premier League form hasn’t been good enough this season.”
Despite their struggles in the league, United have performed well in cup competitions, and Maguire remains confident in the team’s ability to improve:
“We know the talent is there, but we need to be better. We’re still fighting in the cups, and we’ll keep pushing to get the results we need.”
Maguire’s recent performances have demonstrated that he still plays an important role for United. Now that his self-confidence has returned and his spot in the team is assured, he is committed to helping the team win trophies and return to the top of the English Premier League.
As United prepare for their next FA Cup challenge, Maguire’s leadership and defensive strength will be crucial in their journey to winning silverware this season.
