Harry Maguire was expected to leave Man United in the summer but he stayed at the club and could start this weekend.
In the summer, nobody expected Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay to become Manchester United's saviours this season, but that pair combined to score a late matchwinner against Brentford before the international break.
United have the opportunity to use that victory as the catalyst for momentum instead and they should secure back-to-back league wins against Sheffield United, who are rooted to the bottom of the table, on Saturday night. Lisandro Martinez is currently sidelined with injury and although Raphael Varane was absent with a minor issue prior to the break, the Frenchman is expected to be available this weekend and Maguire should start alongside him.
Varane and Maguire have a strong record when starting together in the heart of the defence and the latter could win some goodwill among the fanbase in the coming weeks, providing that he delivers in the biggest matches. "Now the captain’s armband has been taken away, his ego is hurt. He needs to start rebuilding his relationship with the fans again. The chance is there for him to show he can handle everything again.
