Harry Maguire’s goal in MU’s 4-2 victory against Sheffield United on April 25th in the morning helped the Premier League break the record for most goals scored in a season.

The Premier League this season has 1,085 goals, according to Opta, following Maguire’s header against Sheffield United. In the tournament’s history, this is the record for the most goals scored in a season including 20 teams.

Considering that the 2023–24 Premier League has four rounds remaining, the clubs will undoubtedly shatter this record jointly.

But MU’s two goals against the bottom-place side in the standings had a knock-on effect in this game. Over 50 goals have been given up by the “Red Devils” defense in two of the last three Premier League seasons.

Sheffield United acquired a poor reputation as well. As a result, this team’s Premier League goal total of 92 goals conceded (or PV) this season is higher than any other team’s in a 38-game season in the competition’s history.

Coming back to Maguire, he outperformed Sheffield United on that particular day. With a header that cut the lead to 1-2, the English midfielder immediately made an impression. In the 61st minute, he was awarded a penalty kιck, which allowed Bruno Fernandes to tie the game for the “Red Devils” at 2-2.

The Daily Mail stated, “MU is fortunate to still have Maguire.” Maguire is the only real center-back available to Erik ten Hag’s team for the second straight game. Casemiro had to resign in order to make room for someone else. Maguire repressed his own discomfort from playing at this particular moment.
