Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens has reportedly heaped massive praise on teammate Harry Maguire, describing the veteran centre-back as “the best defender in the league.” The comments have quickly generated debate among fans, with many praising Maguire’s remarkable resurgence at Old Trafford after several difficult years.
Maguire has enjoyed something of a career revival in recent seasons, becoming one of United’s most reliable performers and playing a key role in the club’s return to the Champions League. His leadership, aerial dominance, and experience have made him a crucial figure in Michael Carrick’s squad, with several pundits and former players also praising his turnaround.
Lammens’ admiration is understandable given the pair’s growing partnership at the back. Since arriving at Manchester United, the Belgian goalkeeper has frequently spoken about the influence of senior players such as Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt in helping him settle into life at Old Trafford.
Of course, calling Maguire the best defender in the Premier League will divide opinion. While supporters point to his leadership and consistency, others may argue that defenders such as William Saliba, Rúben Dias, or Virgil van Dijk deserve that title.
🔥 One thing is certain: Harry Maguire has gone from one of the most criticized players in England to one of Manchester United’s most important leaders.
💬 Do you agree with Senne Lammens? Is Harry Maguire currently the best defender in the Premier League, or is someone else ahead of him?
