In a remarkable act of humility and sportsmanship, Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has reportedly returned his Man of the Match award following his side’s hard-fought win against Liverpool.
Speaking after the game, Maguire revealed that although he scored the decisive goal that sealed all three points for United, he believed another teammate deserved the honor more.
“I have returned the Man of the Match award to him. Yes, I scored a crucial goal that gave us the victory, but I’m not the one who truly deserves it,” Maguire said, earning praise from fans and pundits alike.
The England international’s gesture has been widely celebrated across social media, with many hailing it as a sign of genuine leadership and team spirit. Maguire’s acknowledgment of his teammate’s performance highlights the unity and determination currently driving Manchester United’s resurgence under manager Ruben Amorim.
While Maguire did not name the player publicly, reports suggest the award was handed to one of United’s standout performers who played a pivotal role in their defensive and midfield dominance throughout the match.
Moments like these have reminded fans why Maguire remains a respected figure in the dressing room — not just for his contributions on the pitch, but also for his humility and character off it.
United supporters will hope that this renewed sense of togetherness can carry the team forward as they look to build on their victory and continue their push up the Premier League table.
