Harry Maguire has been riduculed much after a poor start to the season for him and for Manchester United.

But over the past few weeks, precisely since the 6:1 defeat at home to Spurs, he has been producing the goods. Brilliant performances has come against Newcastle, Leipzig and Everton.

His latest outing for England was another solid performance in a game in which he was given the national team captain arm band for the first time, capping it off with a fine goal.

It was captain’s goal for the newly minted Three Lions skipper. A corner was half cleared by Irish defenders, cleared only as far as Winks out on the right corner of the box and he simply lofts a smart ball back in for the centre-back to bury past Randolph at the left post with a powerful header.
