"Harry Maguire was injured again and Manchester United were stuck in a loop under Ruben Amorim, offering their own take on the definition of insanity. It was the start of January and, at that point, Maguire simply wanted a return to fitness after two months on the sidelines, regular minutes, a bit of rhythm in his game after an in-and-out season."
"Maguire's latest act threatens to top the lot. He is not only back for United under Michael Carrick, to whom the club turned after sacking Amorim on 5 January, he is back for England as well, Thomas Tuchel calling him up for the Wembley friendlies against Uruguay on Friday and Japan on Tuesday."
"Tuchel has talked about Maguire's super-strength in defending in the box and attacking in the box and the England manager wants to see whether he can adapt to his defensive set-up. Maguire started that day and has started in every subsequent match as United have won seven."
