Having been at Old Trafford since 2019, the 32-year-old has lived through some of the club’s worst lows, many of them against this very opposition. Some of the defeats at this stadium have been utterly humiliating. Through that, Maguire himself has been one of United’s most criticised and pilloried figures, often a figure of fun.
