- Schmeichel expects him to start regularly
WHAT HAPPENED? The United legend hailed Maguire's performance against Fulham as 'majestic' as the English international caught the eye in the club's 1-0 win over Fulham, courtesy of Bruno Fernandes' late strike.
Schmeichel also believes that the defender's tough times are behind him and that he would now regularly feature in the Red Devils' starting lineup.
WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking to Premier League Productions, Schmeichel said: "The best player for me [on Saturday] was Harry Maguire. He was majestic. He was here, there and everywhere. The adversity he has met and the criticism he has been in for and how he has turned it around. Every coach now will put him in first. He was fantastic and without him today I can’t see how Man United would have won today."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: After the match, manager Erik ten Hag also praised his defender's performance as he spoke highly of the 30-year-old's leadership on the pitch.
