Unbelievable, the stats Harry Maguire showed against Brentford to surprise the fans

Manchester United’s defender Harry Maguire was one of the players on the pitch for the Red Devils in their 2-1 win against Brentford in Old Trafford on the eighth day of the 2023/2024 Premier League season, a game where the locals completed an incredible comeback with the English defender playing a key role.

In this sense, it is worth remembering that the Red Devils achieved the final victory with a double scored by the Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay, who in his second goal, which happened at the last minute of the game, received an important assist by Harry Maguire with a header inside the box to McTominay to finish the action.

However, Maguire’s performance was not only marked for this assist, but also for his incredible stats in the Manchester United’s defense during the game. According to data from Stats Perform, Maguire won both of his aerial duels and came out on top of 60 percent of his five duels on the ground.
