Manchester United suffered a 2-1 loss to Fulham on Saturday, halting their four-game winning streak in the Premier League.
Rasmus Hojlund’s absence due to ιnjury weakened Erik ten Hag’s team’s оffensive and defensive capabilities.
Calvin Bassey scored for The Cottagers on 65 minutes by striking the loose ball into the net after his header was blocked by Timothy Castagne.
Harry Maguire, who was signed for £80 million in 2019, seemed to secure a draw late in the match by capitalizing on Bernd Leno’s error and slotting the ball into the unguarded goal.
Fulham ultimately emerged victorious when Alex Iwobi scored a crucial goal in the seventh minute of added time.
Maguire makes a strong impression.
The 30-year-old fared better than most of his colleagues, despite not performing at his peak.
The center-back was fortunate to avoid being sent off for his reckless tackle on Sasa Lukic and also failed to score an easy goal from a corner kιck.
However, he scored a late goal that should have been sufficient to earn a draw for United.
Maguire’s statistics in the Old Trafford match were similarly remarkable. He made 104 touches throughout the game and had a pass accuracy of 93 percent.
The England international also recorded five clearances, three interceptions, and one tackle. He successfully won four out of five aerial duels and completed two vital passes.
