Harry Redknapp, who once managed Tottenham, has stated to talkSPORT that he would put Harry Maguire in the front line position for Manchester United.
A jaw-dropping conclusion to United’s quarterfinal match in the Europa League took place on Thursday, and Maguire shined as the hero for United.
The Red Devils were behind by two goals going into extra time, but they rallied to win the match by scoring three goals in the last minutes, including a header from Maguire in the 121st minute, to complete an incredible 7-6 victory on aggregate.
In spite of the fact that they were ranked fourteenth in the Premier League, it allowed United to keep their season alive and gave them the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League.
In spite of this, Ruben Amorim has had a difficult ride, as United is on track to suffer their worst Premier League season in the history of the league.
Fans have expressed their additional dissatisfaction with the lack of goals scored by recent striker recruits, such as Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, who is currently out for the remainder of the season due to a hamstring injury.
Without a doubt, I would. As a result of the fact that he is a target, he is a target. During the next few weeks, I would be going to work beside him there.
They don’t have someone to turn to. It is impossible for the other boy, Hojlund, to score a goal…
I’d put him on diagonals,” I said. I would assemble a group of people around him. It would be like he was a Crouchy (Peter Crouch) or anything like that.
It was well known that the former manager was known for his use of target man strikers. Crouch was managed by the former manager at Portsmouth and Tottenham.
It was then that Redknapp remarked, “He is unstoppable in the air.” Through the years, we have witnessed it. I believe that Maguire is capable of performing a job in the near term.
However, despite the fact that Maguire’s tenure at Manchester United has been a difficult one, he has been an integral part of the club’s success in the FA Cup and the League Cup.
The triumph at Old Trafford was accompanied by Maguire’s statement to TNT Sports, which was, “Obviously, it is an incredible game.”
“We put forth a lot of effort to do this. At halftime, the score was two goals to none. At that time, we had opportunities to score, but they got a goal out of nothing.
They have terrific strikers, they play good football. We dug in, and it is unfathomable that we have returned in such a manner.
I had the impression that we were going to have opportunities to get back into it. When I saw it go into the back of the net, I couldn’t do anything except be amazed.
During the semi-finals, Manchester United is slated to compete against Athletic Bilbao, while Tottenham and Bodo Glimt are scheduled to compete against each other on the opposite side of the draw.
